Ethicsguy, how do you define "good person"? Ultimately, in your philosophical world, who judges what a "good person", looks like?

There is always the character of God and the words of Jesus. Mat_7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

I have never witnessed anything about Mr. Hinn that glorified Jesus. Can someone point me to something?

Ok, I understand. You're talking about people asking God for material possessions. Well, if you are led by the Spirit to ask for something, then ask.

You need not fear hell unless you walk away from the Lord and the Spirit of God leaves you. I don't mean having an argument with Him, I mean really walking away from Him and hating him and telling Him by your actions that you want nothing to do with Him or His cross. Of course, there is a crowd...

If you follow the principles in the Lord's Prayer, you will pray for yourself. I have never really heard of anyone boasting that they did not pray for themselves. What would be the reason for admitting such a thing (boasting or not)? Anyone that is in fellowship with the Lord will express their...

The more they eradicate, the more they grow.

Very nice, willie. If the love of God has not been shed abroad in our hearts then we are not capable of loving others with the "God kind of love". It definitely is not an intellectual exercise. Rom_5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the...

I love all the types and shadows that Joseph in Egypt, exemplified. I'll post them, later. Nice thread.

Wow, I had to go back and see what the OP was all about because now we are talking about people "feeling bad" because they can't heal or do what the Apostles did. I think that is just spiritual pride because it is Jesus Christ that does anything at all through us. People should be more concerned...

An estimated 300,000 children were taken from their mothers at birth and placed with adoptive families. The trouble is, most don’t know it. MARY VALLIS / TORONTO STAR At 70, Luisa Fernanda Marin Valenzuela is surrounded by a bustling family of nine children and seven grandchildren, but...

Not undermining my walk or people that I know. 1Co_11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

In our house church, Jesus is the invisible conductor of the symphony. Everything is done decently and in order as each person focuses on Jesus, the Lord will impress someone to pray, others to start a song, another to read a scripture, pray or share a word/teaching or dream from the Lord. Don't...

Arnie, when you read the Bible you have to be open to the Lord quickening a verse or a thought from a verse to your spirit. We have a relationship with the Lord not only through His word but through His Spirit. Are you saying that nothing in the Book of Ephesians or Corinthians applies to you...

Hi Arnie, Everything that Jesus said to His disciples back in His time on earth may be applied to His future disciples. By His Spirit today, He may even tell one of His disciples what He told Peter". Mar_8:33 "...thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men." I...

Thankfully, Jesus' bodyguards were much more civilized.

I posted this in the other "tithing" thread, which is not necessarily wrong, but this is the one where Malachi is currently being spoken of. Malachi 3:8-12 DOES NOT TEACH TITHING AS IT IS TAUGHT TODAY!! This scripture in Malachi has to be the scripture that is most often used for the topic...

Thanks for the reply.I;m sure it is very interesting. Certainly is fascinating to me and although I don't have the background in many topics, that does not stop me from enjoying and appreciating them.

Malachi 3:8-12 DOES NOT TEACH TITHING AS IT IS TAUGHT TODAY!! This scripture in Malachi has to be the scripture that is most often used for the topic of tithing. It also happens to be the most misunderstood and misinterpreted passed in the Bible. Words have meaning, but today a different...
