I'm just curious what the Lord is telling you? Since we don't walk by a moral code of dos and don'ts but by His life and a word revealed from His heart to ours, daily and even moment by moment. God wants us to walk in honesty and truthfulness before Him and everyone else and not to do anything...

No, I only quoted scriptures where the Holy Spirit is given to the saints. Greeting ​Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God that is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia: (2 Cor_1:1)

It's not that we can't sin any more, but now with the Holy Spirit, we don't have to. We are "no longer slaves to sin", and therefore all the scriptures that Evangelist listed, make complete sense to one that has been set free from the power of sin, but don't make sense to those still "under the...

I Thess. 5:23 We agree on many things, johnlove, but please do not deny the scriptures that I gave you regarding the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. You are correct in many things you say about the visible church, today. They don't resemble Christianity and many are worse off than the Laodicean...

The Holy Spirit is indwelling believers not unbelievers. The operative phrase in first Corinthians chapter 3:1-3 is "in Christ ". How do you think the ongoing process of sanctification operates in a believer's life if they don't have the Holy Spirit? 2 Thess 2:13 But we ought always to give...

I already did. Look at my post on the Spirit dwelling in us.

You won't be able to do a very good job if you keep quoting corrupted verses.

Rom_8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Rom_8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead...

Johnlove, you don't understand that being "In Christ" has nothing to do with our performance. True believers are born of the Spirit, sealed by the Spirit but yet may still be carnal at times. Yet, we are admonished to put away all carnality which the unbeliever is incapable of because they have...

Unfortunately, Johnlove, you draw attention to yourself and not Christ. This must really grieve you because I know you want to draw attention to Christ. A prophetic word draws attention to Christ.

Jesus Christ responds to faith, not needs. Man responds to needs (Socialism), but that only enslaves people to men. Christ sets you free to serve Him and others regardless of what you get in return in this life.

Thank you, justaname. I did not think it was a "strawman". Johnlove, please clarify your position. Can you do it clearly in your own words?

True, music pales in comparison to ages, ago. Architecture also pales in comparison. Art does, too. Look at some of the great Christian artists and musicians from long ago that seemed to be divinely inspired. Maybe that is what is missing today. Divine inspiration which comes from a nearness and...

If we sin after being given the Holy Spirit and then lose salvation, then who can be saved? Who is perfect after receiving the Holy Spirit?

That is pretty much what the Bible says, lforrest. I agree. The church at Ephesus, church at Antioch, etc, etc. There is even a church at San Diego, or Houston or New York City, but all the believers are divided and don't see themselves as belonging to a bigger whole. The Church at San Diego is...

Matt_11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matt_11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matt_11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. I just wanted to...

Do you sin sometimes? Say, like once a year? Praise the Lord, John.

And obviously, no one is trying to make you think well of them, are they? What they are sharing with you makes them disliked by you, too. I see no difference between your theology not being liked or other's theology not being liked by you. You take things personally and think people don't like...

Ok, so I agree with that. By living God's Word, I think you mean Obeying God's Word. When one is obeying God's Word they are not sinning. But it has to be a revealed word, a living word from the Holy Spirit where one is abiding in the Lord. Just obeying letters on paper does not mean one is not...

John, I did not accuse you of pride. Can you show me where? I will say that if someone disagrees with you, you go into this "martyr spirit", complex. I think you are unable to carry on a conversation with anyone unless they agree with everything you say. But, your attitude does make sense since...
