Dear All, People have a kind of spiritual myopia at times due to the fact that most interpret the scriptures through their carnal minds. With the limited resources of their heads they try to parse out eternal truths and end up failing miserably. Yet, in their pride, they do not recognize...

Dear All, There seems to be a very bad spirit that has infused some who preach Christianity. This spirit does not like the Holy Spirit and in fact fights against Him. In reality the Holy Spirit is the part of God who is front and center in our present church age and to fight against Him is to...

Dear All, Seems everyone is missing the point somewhat. You all seem to advocate "self control" so that you do the commandments of God and do not sin. What I advocate and what I believe "walk in the Spirit" means is that we yield our members to the Holy Spirit so that we do not want to sin...

Dear All, I must disagree with D's assertion that Christianity is all about self-control. It is written, " I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and...

Dear C, I really don't know enough about it to form an opinion either way. If they are doing because they believe they need to keep some part of the Old Testament law then I would not agree. However, if they are being led by the Spirit to learn more about the meaning of the Tabernacle as it...

Dear All, Thought the Tabernacle Experience that the lady talks about in the youtube vid is very interesting (and I "feel" she has a good spirit about it) this is not what I am talking about. Although, it may be one way God is preparing people to recieve it. What I am talking about is the...

Dear A, I would agree with that. I think a healthy relationship with our Father can help alleviate such insecurities. Once you have confidence in His ability to lead and guide you you don't have to worry so much about being wrong. Blessings, Michael

Dear Niki, I realize that your zeal comes from a heart to want to serve God but I think that, at least, some of it is not according to knowledge. I don't know how long you have been a believer but it is not nessesary to castigate others who believe differently in order to get your point heard...

Dear F, Amen to what you said. A voice of reason finally prevails. I like the deep fox hole and not seeing analogy. Blessings, Justin

Dear E, Good comments! Blessings, Justin

Dear F, Stong beliefs are not wrong as long as you remain able to change your position if God shows you otherwise. However, some are dug in for the duration and will not listen and consider anything other than their fox hole. It is even dangerous to approuch them. Blessings, Justin Dear R...

Dear W, I notice, W, that sometimes you seem to interpret the things I say a bit differently than I intend. This may be my fault for not explaining what I mean thoroughly or perhaps it is that you assume a few things too. Maybe it is bit of both. I was not saying that those who do not...

Dear All, I have been reading through some of the posts that are against signs and I really don't know how to help you see how revelation still plays a central role in our understanding of God in our times. I am coming to the conclusion that unless people are seeking the truth they cannot...

Dear J, Unfortunately, I cannot convince people about the Holy Spirit because it is through revelation that people come to the truth. What passes for Christianity these days is so far removed from what the first century church experienced it is almost like comparing apples to oranges...

Dear W, Well, you said, "I'm saying that the Bible does not teach illumination" I really don't understand how you can say that given the verses I quoted to you. Seems to me you should realize that God does give us understanding through the Holy Spirit. Seems I cannot undo your Gordian knot...

Dear V, Unfortunately, you conversation with me on this topic has become unprofitable. Sincerely, Justin

Dear All, It is OK by me for you to disagree about revelation. I know it is the normative thing to do....grin. Blessings, Justin

Dear W, The only truth is through revelation. Without revelation there can be not true understanding of God. Blessings, Justin

Dear W, I read your writing on Illumination. Basically, it seems you may not have an understanding of how being led by the Holy Spirit works. I do not know if this is because you may have not experienced such illumination or because of your doctrinal stance. However, and to sum up why what...

Dear V, This is what I have been coming to understand about apostasy. It is a darkening of your spirit until you cannot even understand the truth. In the end you start to persecute it and those who believe it. Anyway, I guess it is to be expected but still it is troubling. Blessings, Justin
