    You assume that the reference Jesus made concerning His Father exhaustive - Paul talks of the Kindness and Severety of God - you are presenting one side only.

    You might read 1 Chron 21 as follows. Here we see Satan distinct from the angel of the Lord and the Lord Himself. Calamity in this passage comes from God Himself. 21 Then Satan stood against Israel and incited David to number Israel. 2 So David said to Joab and the commanders of the army...

    For sure - when I moved away from faith, God created calamity in my life and this shipwrecked state bought me back to Him. Depart from His wisdom and there are consequences. Those the Lord Loves He disciplines and this is a life saver.

    Try a different translation... Isaiah 45:7 English Standard Version 7 I form light and create darkness; I make well-being and create calamity; I am the Lord, who does all these things. Attributing Evil to God is not a recommended practice... Creating darkness and being evil are two...

    So Isaiah for example responded to His encounter with the Father with his own carnal nature ??? I don't think so.... 1In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted; and the train of His robea filled the temple. 2Above Him stood seraphim, each having six...

    Vengeance is mine... Sodom was decimated. We must always give Him the prerogative to act this way if in His judgement it is warranted.

    Could we return to the topic of the temple please. :rolleyes:

    I believe the Cross is a timeless event anchored in chronological time. So Abraham found Eternal forgiveness through the Cross which was to come.

    Rejecting Christ, or rejecting "Christianity"? (the church) ???

    Do you fellowship outside of the 45,000 ?

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Can't say I disagree with most of this... There is no shortcut to real spirituality and the way is narrow. Yet there is a way to Walk in the Spirit in His Love with wonderful evidence of His Power and Grace. Consume the Scripture - Worship Jesus - be in healthy loving fellowship - Surrender...

    And Jesus said - forgive them Lord for thy know not what they do... Can a prayer of a perfect Messiah not be answered ? Yet there is a remnant... In my time there I saw the consequences of openly confessing Jesus were severe for believing Jews. Many kept their faith discrete which some will...

    I put 'the church' in quotations... Surely the Holy Spirit did not inspire such brutality. Not sure if there has been any proclamation of repentance for these gross transgressions. (hope I'm wrong) But hey... this is way off topic.

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Steve please - I refer to the Scriptures I posted... The answer is the Holy Spirit and this reference is not about tongues. ● Gal 4:6 . . And because you are sons, God has sent forth the spirit of His son into your hearts calling out: Abba! Father. ● Rom 8:15 . . For you have not received a...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    What causes the elect to cry out to their Father ?

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Then you have misunderstood Paul - other scriptures don't agree... ● Gal 4:6 . . And because you are sons, God has sent forth the spirit of His son into your hearts calling out: Abba! Father. ● Rom 8:15 . . For you have not received a spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received a...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    I wouldn't call it a Biblical term, just a phrase used in the text. Not all prayer is in the Spirit.
