    Leaders That Don't Support Good Works or Overcoming Sin

    So important to be taught by the Holy Spirit and word of God........He leads us into all truth. I think the writings of others can be a witness but we must be careful.......we don't always even fully understand our experiences.....eg, even Paul didn't know whether he was in the body or out of...

    Hi...yes thanks, I take B vitamins and other supplements too. Have tinnitus which has worsened the last few years. Still seem to have my sanity though (as far as I can tell, lol). I'm holding onto God's grace being sufficient. :) Yes there is that Rev 3 scripture, thanks for reminding me...

    There is so much to consider with everything, my aging brain is spinning in my head. I'm just trying to take everything in, in my slow percolating way, and I'm hampered by a poor memory that can't seem to hold onto too much at a time. In any case I think it's good for all of us to remember...

    Trump protected by God!!!!PTL.

    Agree...not much time at all. I was just thinking they all have walkie-talkies and such, as well as cell phones, so could have potentially communicated with Trump's security team within seconds. Maybe there was no coordination/communication between the local police and the Secret Service and...

    Trump protected by God!!!!PTL.

    Amen brother. Hope there are ears to hear. Nineveh repented, and they were pagans. We even more need repentance in the church otherwise there is no fighting against God when He turns and fights against us. To whom much is given much is required. It's so urgent that we have to get back to...

    Trump protected by God!!!!PTL.

    Why didn't they get Trump off the stage right away then? Either a comedy of errors with this, or something smells fishy.

    Nail on the head brother. Sometimes wish I could talk Texan, it sure do get to the heart of a matter right quick, hallelujah! :) Yes, it sure does gender to pride and self-righteousness. There is a kind of re-inventing of the wheel that GOD already invented, only a skewed version because of...

    I wonder when it first appears in the ECF writings, whether first generation after the apostles, or later. The carnal natural mind is not the same as the mind of Christ. The mind of Christ is His spiritual mind and is in simplicity...it doesn't "formalize" things. We need to have HIS mind on...

    Do you know how far back the term "theosis" goes? It isn't in the bible. Paul just used such language as "you who are spiritual", "walk in the spirit", and "as many as be perfect". I'm very leery of extra-biblical terminology......it often tends to being "ecclesiastical" if you get what I...

    Amen brother .....I agree with you in cautioning about the early church fathers writings. Paul said that after he departed wolves would come in to the church, not sparing the flock. It doesn't take long for the flesh to get hold of the things of God and cause them to go off track and miss the...

    As long as we don't forget that FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, and the EVIDENCE of THINGS NOT YET SEEN. (All things HAVE been put under the feet of Jesus, even though WE DO NOT YET SEE all things put under.) This is the reason God imputes these things to the believer.....because of...

    I'm not adding anything.....this is the Amplified Bible version, not intended to be a word for word translation but attempting to give the sense of what is written. They have put in brackets to indicate where they are using their own words. Mary was literally and physically the mother of Jesus...

    Receiving His word/seed speaks to a bride/wife receiving seed of her Husband resulting in conception. Mary believed/received the word/seed of God that was delivered to her and that is what brought about the conception of Christ in her. The Holy Spirit overshadowed her....and what was conceived...

    THEY TRIED TO KILL TRUMP IN PA!

    God is watching over His word to perform it. Bringing things to a final conclusion, ultimately. And Trump isn't just about America but Israel too. But our God is a God who sends evil and deception/delusion as judgment too, so we need to guard our hearts and repent of anything we need to. We...

    THEY TRIED TO KILL TRUMP IN PA!

    In an increasingly pagan society, comes increasing incompetence and mistakes and less blessing and help of the Lord. So there's that as well. I guess only God knows in this case.

    THEY TRIED TO KILL TRUMP IN PA!

    The shooter was outside the perimeter of the venue. He was on top of a low rise building outside the arena where the rally was being held. Only those going inside the arena area were being checked for weapons. But I do find it baffling that the Secret Service and even police wouldn't have...

    Simply describing something in one's own words to help the understanding is fine, if it's accurate and is pointing and bridging one, so to speak, to GOD'S word on the matter.....but using ones own words to form the actual doctrine...and insisting that others accept it as God's doctrine, is...

    I agree....but maybe only up to a point depending on how one means it. It says of Mary, who was a figure for us, the church......"That which was CONCEIVED in her was of the Holy Spirit." Conceived, though not yet fully formed and born.......but still very much of the Holy Spirit. So I don't...
