    Being An Instrument

    Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given...

    The deep danger of politicizing Christianity. It simply reveals our deep need for revival.

    i Personally think wearing masks is perpetuating this illness not preventing it. The masks trap all manner of allergens and then keep them close to our face and we continually breath them in. I have to wear one for work but do not when I am at home, I feel fine at home, but after a day of...

    Being An Instrument

    shortly before reading this post I was thinking about the unity of the Spirit and the discussion i was having with @Nancy that we are like a choir each singing in their own key, and when unity happens we will learn to sing in harmony to the Lord and sing his praises. Then I read your post, and...

    Unity of the Faith and of the Knowledge of the Son of God

    I Guess I am more of an optimist. I See that unity as a sign of his coming, the final testimony of the work of the Holy Ghost in us, which leads to the events of Revelation 12:10-11. I think the division we see now and increasing is there to separate the wheat and the tares, and eventually unify...

    Unity of the Faith and of the Knowledge of the Son of God

    Interesting, I tend to think that "when" we come to the unity of the Spirit, is when we will see Him, in other words, Our seeing Him is dependent on coming to the Unity of the Spirit. What you are saying is that this unity is dependent on His coming If I am not mistaken? I See the division and...

    The deep danger of politicizing Christianity. It simply reveals our deep need for revival.

    Are you speaking of Trump? The media will now paint you a horror story of who he is if you listen to them. What you are referring to as a mental disorder is his bravado. He is a New Yorker, and this is a "survival tool" every New Yorker knows for getting noticed.... "If you can make it there you...

    Unity of the Faith and of the Knowledge of the Son of God

    That is how I read it, the following verses being the qualifiers: [Brackets mine] 14. That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; [This referring...

    Justification, instant sanctification and progressive sanctification and sainthood..

    Marks, The scriptures for my previous claim: Read Paul's Prayer to the Ephesian church Found in Ephesians 1:17-23. Notice this is prayed over Born again believers, Notice how Paul speaks:" That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and...

    Marriage

    Yes I read it and thought I would add a male perspective.... The Man in your example is submitting to the Choreographer, Christ Jesus. When the church is in perfect submission to Christ there is a beautiful Dance between the two. A Good Marriage teaches the man that, and even a bad marriage can...

    Marriage

    Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy...

    The deep danger of politicizing Christianity. It simply reveals our deep need for revival.

    America is not a Christian nation, She is founded upon Judeo Christian Ideals. Her founding is based on religious freedom not a state church, She was founded by many fleeing such religious tyranny. Hence the freedoms which our constitution protects which the left and the media are trying to...

    Justification, instant sanctification and progressive sanctification and sainthood..

    Renewing the mind is One of the steps to sainthood. Getting over our Carnal mind and the faith we have in intellect is a big step in the process, where The Holy Spirit can teach us. The following from Tozer expresses this well: "Far better than the attempt to understand is the humility that...

    Justification, instant sanctification and progressive sanctification and sainthood..

    I Believe this unity is found when we realize that we are all on the same journey to sainthood, just at different places in that journey. I Believe some believers need a more structured atmosphere in their faith while some do not, depending on their background. I Believe we ultimately move in a...

    Justification, instant sanctification and progressive sanctification and sainthood..

    Yes I have. we are well beyond those points. I Base my understanding of Saints on the Hebrew understanding, as those separate from the nation, and the faithful in that nation as per Hosea 11:12. As an example of this in the real world you have levels in your skilled trades, a person does not...

    This flutered analysis comes from the following in your comment, still trying to figure out what you said here....o_O You have barely responded to scripture here, all you have done is talk about being offended by what i say thinking it is an attack against you. When You respond with scripture...

    "But the fact is, saint and martyr are different words with different meanings. There is no basis in Scripture to restrict the meaning of one to the meaning of the other." Since this is the only serious interaction here i will address this first. I gave you two specific examples that tie the...

    Justification, instant sanctification and progressive sanctification and sainthood..

    There You go again, reading an assault on you in my comment when there is none on my end. I Am sharing MY testimony. You read it as Me belittling your faith. This is a symptom of a problem you have, that you need to work on. If You are being offended then you need to consider that this is the...

    All my life I was under the delusion that i was a Philadelphian, as My doctrine was right and by the book. When He revealed Himself to me He began to showed me that we all who are alive in this day and age and call ourselves Christians are Laodiceans. you see When you get a Word from God, you...
