The Holy Spirit has confirmed with my Spirit, truth. He lives within me. He teaches, guides, counsels, hears and answers my prayers, is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, He bears witness to Christ and glorifies Him, is wise, gives gifts, baptized us, justifies us, loves us, edifies us...

Faith is a gift and God gives different amounts in accordance to His purpose and plans for that individual; some have great faith and others have weak faith. We are respinsible to care for that gift, nourish it. Spiritual gifts are to be used prayerfully, diligently. You don't seem to trust in...

Okay, thank you for answering that question. I was just trying to figure out what church you learned this "sinless Christian doctrine" from? I guess you are not willing to share ... it's a secret, too personal. Okay bye!

Please answer Post #76 question. Otherwise, we are done.

The mysterious way is how He is working on your life? Some principles: God is love. You can't force anyone to love you, a choice has to be given. He knocks on your door, will stand there for a lifetime, waiting for you to open the door and invite Him in. He's not forcing you to believe. But...

Don't think so, Catholics don't despise the cross!

My Pastor taught me to be transparent and most Christians I know were forthright in revealing their church they were proud to have been part of and their flaws as well. Heck, the first thing Evangelical Pastors would reveal was the dark life they came from and how God transformed them - their...

I have spoken with several Rabbis who are confounded and repulsed about our faith, that a man (instead of an animal) could be offered as a blood sacrifice and atonement for our sins. They don't see and interpret all the Old Testament scriptures like Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53 like we do. They don't...

Maybe some have? I was water baptized a year after I was baptized by the Holy Spirit. I just went ahead and did it in an act of obedience. I was just an infant, not knowing what was what. So I repented, believed, was saved and this confirmed by the Holy Spirit way before the water baptism ( a...

Well, I agree with most of what you said. But I think the cross is just a symbol of how Jesus died. It has no power. It was His she'd blood, death and resurrection that saves us. " ... it is the blood that makes atonement for one's life". Lev. 17:11

Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. So it is the knowing the Christ died for our sins and rose on the third day; it is our belief in all His promises. Our belief is our faith. He quickened our spirit, removed the blindness so we could see and believe...

Are you a Jehovah Witness?

I preferred an educated (Phd) Pastor that was Spirit-filled/ teaching church. We start out knowing little to nothing. The Holy Spirit teaches us personally but often through the Pastor and other fellow Christians. I have often come to church and felt as if a particular messages was designed...

Stevia, erythritol, monk fruit are good sugar substitutes I use. But yeah, they are nutrition experts. I tried Atkins for two weeks and lost 1 lb/ day but that was difficult. 25 grams of carbs/day is difficult. I am 67, 6'1" and 220 lbs. According to the charts, I am at least 30 lbs...

It seems like almost half of the country is obese! This was not the norm fifty years ago. What's different? We drank sodas, ate Ice cream and pizza then too. High Fructose Corn Syrup is 20x sweeter than suger. They use it in everything. It's in bread too unless you make your own or buy Dave's...

" By their fruit you will know them". If anyone would read this post, the fruit they would see is hate, hostility, twisting and distorting words, sin at it's core. Can you understand just this one verse: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1 John...

John is a great teacher and I often seek his teachings for answers BUT he's quite judgmental about things and people that rub him wrong. He doesn't believe in spiritual gifts, thinks they stopped once the Bible was written. He is a pure intellectual and knowledge he has but lacks some things...

Oh ... now I get it, that figures. You don't believe it was a cross (stauros) that He died on. The Word crucifixion comes from crux, cross. It remains as a symbol that is proudly erected all over the globe and as art and jewelry in remembrance that identifies us, what we believe in. But JW's...

Really? Jesus said over and over again, If you believe in Me you will be saved. I lost count of how many verses in the Bible teach that belief in Christ leads to life. According to your gospel, (a works based salvation) the sinner next to Jesus could not be saved - BUT HE WAS because he believed...

Same thing. You misinterpret my words and make false claims ... bearing false witness against me. When my flesh dies, I will be rid of it. Who said there was? Newsflash: Christians are forgiven, there is now no condemnation! So there is no judgment for sins anymore. The judgments for the...
