    Sources of Knowledge and Ability to Believe

    What about reliance on the Holy Spirit. Seems to me you are making man the center and source of knowledge gained. 2Ch_20:12 O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee...

    Tithing

    So that we don't stray from the subject and to make sure I understand what we are talking about: Are we talking about the OT Tithe being a law (or even principle) for Christians, today? If we are, then I conclude from the NT there is no such law (of percentages) that Christians are under...

    Tithing

    Praise the Lord, brother. It is good to be free (from men) and able to give everything (not being limited to 10%) if that is how the Spirit leads. You are right, "Tithers" stop at 10% thinking they have done their "duty". I have a friend like that and he is very proud that he has tithed 10% for...

    Tithing

    Usually, in most loving relationships (which is what we have with Christ), you don't keep track of what is given in return. Simply because, it is not important. What is important, is that Christ is EVERYTHING and that is the treasure that you have been given. This whole notion about keeping...

    Tithing

    My observations are that "Tithers" keep track of what percentage they give and assume their blessings are because they give 10%. My other observations are that many of them pay attention to what others give and try to figure out if they are giving their "required" 10%. Further observations...

    Sources of Knowledge and Ability to Believe

    What role does the Holy Spirit play in giving us true knowledge? If we are to glory in knowledge, the knowledge of Him is all that really matters according to Jeremiah. Jer_9:23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let...

    Sources of Knowledge and Ability to Believe

    I'm sorry, we are talking about two different things. I re-read your post. But, I will mention that "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge". Hosea_4:6 What knowledge that people reject eventually destroy them?

    Tithing

    Men purpose within their own heart how much of anything they give. 2Co_9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity (what men tell you is necessary): for God loveth a cheerful giver. If a man is walking in harmony with the Holy...

    Sources of Knowledge and Ability to Believe

    Let's not omit the Holy Spirit. I don't want to minimize the Word of God, but we don't just follow letters on paper do we? As important as the the Word of God is, it is of no profit to us without the application of it to our lives personally by the Holy Spirit. It will not matter one whit if we...

    Tithing

    If you know about the the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus (walking by the Spirit), you will fulfill God's will and there is no law, regulations, rule or ordinances that supersede the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus. Some scriptures for you to meditate on: Rom_7:6 But now...

    I am a Liberal

    These lists are all over the Internet SIX CONUNDRUMS OF LIBERALISM: 1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized 2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims. 3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the...

    The Mindset of Many Institutional Religious Leaders

    Who knows, he may be part of the solution. I do not know as I am not familiar with Mr. Baldwin. The post is about his observation of the poll taken of pastors, and the criteria of success by which they measure themselves. The criteria does not reflect the early church or the New Testament in...

    The Mindset of Many Institutional Religious Leaders

    The King Saul school of success is still alive and well. Revealing research by George Barna and commentary by Chuck Baldwin. This is nothing new to many of you guys but I am shocked at their unabashed admission of what their measure of success is. They are not even trying to hide these...

    What makes us righteous?

    His Life (Jesus) makes us righteous. Rom_5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. (saved by His righteous life). And if His life is in you, then you are in Christ and if you are in...

    QUESTION 1 for YOU - IF YOU BELIEVE JESUS is GOD

    "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over...

    Going through a divorce

    Even after you are divorced, you can still stand for your marriage and believe God to restore it. Fight for your marriage and believe that God to restore it. Divorce is not final in God's economy. Please check out these hundreds (if not thousands) of testimonies of "Standers"...

    Spiritual warfare

    Also, Saul's armor was not tested or tried. In addition, it weighed David down. It was a fleshly burden trying to use it to fight spiritual battles.

    From Law To Life

    The point is that neither you nor I know who is SAVED or not and we cannot even presume to have reached some "special status" whereby we stop "working out our own salvation with fear and trembling". Because what happens to us if we become complacent and lukewarm? Can we rest on the "special...

    From Law To Life

    I mean a Christian who is struggling in their walk and "looks" like an Unbeliever.
