Dear R, You don't make much sense. I really don't know why you don't get what I am saying. It is pretty basic. I guess, maybe, your viewpoint is so restricted by your doctrine that you can't see the broader picture I am talking about. You should read my blog about perspective and that might...

Dear All, There is an over reliance on teaching in the church today. What needs to happen is that we must first experience God and then teach about that experience in the light of scripture (not doctrine.) Right now, most of the church puts the cart before the horse.

Hi K, No, I don't believe there is nothing to add...I mean...maybe there is nothing...but I don't preclude it from happening. I don't know why people assume this.

Dear S, So are you saying that if someone professes to be a atheist or agnostic and does not accept Christ's sacrifice as a propitiation for their sins that we are not right to say that this person faces eternal torment? Personally, according to how I read the scriptures, I judge all those who...

Dear R, I find it hard to believe a mother could equally love and cherish 5 children in the same sense as she could one. I wonder why someone would automatically assume that a plural family involves lust? After all, can a man lust after his wife? Was Abraham full of lust? Was Jacob twice as...

Dear V, I tend to see the Bible as very literal unless there is a real reason to view it differently. I believe there were two literal trees and one granted life if you ate it's fruit and one brought death if you ate it's fruit. However, it was not the fruit itself that brought death but...

Dear All, God is awsome. When we, as a body of believers, open our hearts and minds to Him we start to function as He intended and revelation starts to flow. I can't wait until we all come into the unity of the Spirit because then we will see God face to face.

Dear V, The tree of the knowledge of good and evil means exactly what it says...good and evil. What part of knowledge do you feel excapes that definition? My assesment of ministers is actually based upon a lot of experience dealing with them.

Dear All, I do not reject the notion that people have intellect outside the Christian community but I only reject the notion that atheists or agnostics are somehow intellectually honest. That is not how Christ will see the situation as He says depart from me I never knew you. Agnostics are a...

Dear V, You can proclaim this or that all day long but the fact remains that people who go about trying to figure out the scriptures just through their natural minds usually miss the mark and end up as legalists. Many pastors and teachers are exactly as I have discribed them.

Dear G, I am saying that God will reveal Himself to us in new ways that do not fit our doctrine and may not be specifically found in the Bible. We do not have to fear what God does. We must learn to accept Him as He is. Right now we restrict him out of fear and doctrine. Dear V, Did you...

Dear all, I have experienced holy laughter and dancing in the spirit. I was not trying to do it but when I trusted God and yielded to what His Spirit in me was wanting to do that is what happened. It was a very positive and liberating experience. I highly recommend them.

Dear all, Teaching invites us to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This still brings death although those who teach think they are bringing life. It is only through anointed teachers that the word can and does bring life. Many who try to teach God's word do not teach from...

Dear V, I believe that the Bible is most likely incomplete. Which is to say that one day, probably in the millennium, God will pen more scripture through holy men of God as they are moved by the Spirit that will illuminate and clarify what He has already written. I do not believe that...

Dear All, I think a point worth considering is that when people think that the word we have is all that God is then we feel like we have all the pieces to the jigsaw puzzle. I don't think we do. Before the New Testament people thought they had all the pieces but then they received a bunch...

Dear I, By denying someone exists, especially the God who made you, you do in fact stand against Him. Secondly, it is not true that you would accept that God exists at all. To you, there is nothing in this universe that would prove the existence of God because you have simply decided He does...

Dear All, I believe that it is improper for Christians to complain about the United States because we are not worth our salt anymore. Our nation is going down because we have not stood up. We are so fractionalized that we cannot unify and thus we are weak and let those things we complain...

Dear A, Amen, Bessings, Justin

Dear K, No, K, I did not say nor imply that God is dumb...you said it. I do not believe that all God is will be found in the Bible. Yes, I believe the Holy Spirit will even outlast the scriptures. For the Holy Spirit, which is in reality God the Father, will still be around when all the...

Dear S, Very well said. I read somewhere that Gandhi wanted to attend a Christian meeting once but was turned away because he was Indian. I think that people need examples of what a true Christian is in real life so that they can see how it is done. What speaks most powerfully to others...
