Dragonfly, Your post in #89 was written very well. I appreciate your loving and tender heart of understanding towards those who have been bruised and beaten by the Enemy and your wisdom in dealing with this subject. Clearly, you have had experience in helping the downtrodden. Luke_4:18 The...

Christ-centered is my goal. Tithing is self-centered and not Christ-centered. It is false teaching that encourages one who may have begun in the Spirit to perfect the rest in the flesh. I will not flatter a man and pat him on the back while he is in error. Hi Rocky, I call that "FEAR...

Yes, it is our responsibility to guard the "borders" of our "land". Casting down vain imaginations and taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Keep the doors shut!! Until we understand that 1) we have given ground to the enemy 2) and how we did it, we will not be able to turn...

Well, we were created derivative creatures, right? In other words, we must derive our spiritual life from one of two sources (God or Satan), whereas Satan's "life" is a counterfeit. There is not a third choice from which we derive our spiritual life. We cannot stand alone and choose to be apart...

And God delivered the Hebrew children from the hand of Pharoah (kingdom of darkness) but there was a walk for them to walk in the wilderness (world) for them to apprehend the Promised Land (the promises of God, victory over their own sin and the nations (powers of darkness) . With God they are...

If you want to know "how to tithe", look at the OT. Tithing requires a Temple and a Sacrifice. The practice of paying tithes is very ancient: for we find, Gen 14:20, that "Abraham gave tithes to Melchizedek, king of Salem, at his return from..." There were three sorts of tithes to be paid from...

Brillian point! They were already in the land. And it coheres perfectly with the analogy in the physical realm in the OT. When Israel was delivered from Egypt and came into the "land" there were already enemies in the land and God would instruct Israel to drive them all out. Exo 23:29 I will...

You don't mean what they did in "eternity past" but that God in eternity past knew what they would do? Right? The only reason that I would have security knowing that He has control of it all is if I am abiding in Him. If I am not abiding in the Lord, then there is definitely a lack of security...

Genesis 1:26 -- In the beginning the Bible tells us that Adam was created in the image of God. I believe he had a total innocence and a pure heart with no impure motives. He was holy and blameless and that is why he had close, unbroken fellowship with the God.

I like it. I was trying to express this thought that Pyro had. [/U] Why are we thinking about ourselves? It always turns out to be a great time to reach out to the Catholics in my family who don't talk about Christ at any other time of the year.

Changed my mind.

Satan is real. Just read this thread.

Yes, as the Word says, a "root of bitterness will defile many." Unforgiveness leads to bitterness, rejection and hatred. These are demonic strongholds that seek to destroy many. We must stay in the "love of God", by choosing to forgive.

The Song of Solomon uses physical realities to explain spiritual intimacy. It's not about eroticism.

I think it has to do with those who are part of the "Great Falling Away" or "Great Apostasy" as it is also known. This "Great Falling Away" has been happening in every generation. Every generation has a "Great Falling Away". Those who fall away are not unbelievers. Heb_6:4 For it is...

There are several on this page. There are several Large Print KJV's here.

What does that have to do with the article?

Very well stated, indeed Hammer!

Mark, we've got no fight here. Do what the Spirit of God is leading you to do. I'm just not hearing the same thing. Men who believe in personal conviction from the Holy Spirit cannot be forced to change their way of thinking unless they hear from God. He is the ultimate authority. I could take...

Me too, I'm KJV Preferred, but if I'm in prison I'll read whatever version they give me.
