quit like men G407 ἀνδρίζομαι andrizomai (an-drid'-zom-ai) v. 1. to act manly [middle voice from G435] KJV: quit like men

No. One is an imperfect book, the other is a perfect being. The book cannot make you alive. It can only point you in the right direction. You search the scriptures because you think that you have eternal life in them [but you don't], and it is these that testify about me. And you are not...

​For just as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, [although they] are many, are one body, thus also Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free [persons], and all were made to drink one Spirit. 1...

Strange thoughts invading BA's head... just sayin'...

New Living Translation. If you ever want to know in the future, just copy a portion of the text (a sentence usually does it) and paste it into a search engine enclosed in double quotes. That is some nice stuff you wrote. I think part of the key to understanding the message to the Sardis...

No if it's the spirit's way, it's the way spirit-led people choose to follow. You are making it abundantly clear that you don't know what it means to be led by the spirit. And that's all that really matters. All of your well-intentioned plans and works that are not led by the spirit will come to...

E2010, what RB is not telling you (because he doesn't know it) is that christ is more than Jesus. We who are his body are christ. Not THE Christ, but christ, which simply means anointed. We are members of his body who will rule and reign with him. Paul refers to this reality several times. RB...

And the one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, I will give him authority over the nations, and “he will shepherd them with an iron rod; he will break [them] in pieces like jars made of clay,” as I also have received from my Father, and I will give him the morning star. Revelation...

I think what JBRB may have been referring to about manning up is touched on in the scripture in Job where GOD tells the crushed Job to gird up his loins and act like a man by taking responsibility for his condition and quit justifying himself, even though he did nothing to deserve his tragedy...

What he means (I think) is that most pastors/religious hirelings (at least the ones I've had experience with), through their man-made methodologies, prevent the holy spirit from actually having free reign amongst the congregation, and keep repeating over and over and over the same basic stuff...

+1 for the witness of the spirit.

Those verses in Mark have occurred in various places for nearly 2000 years. You have such a myopic world view.

Which suggests that those who are not victorious will have their names blotted out from the book of life.

No, I'm saying without religion you wouldn't have a bible.

This comment just shows an ingrained arrogance typical of those who place inordinate value in the positions that society confers. A diploma will buy you respect in the world, but not in the kingdom of GOD. And it is more than just a few bad apples; it's a systemic problem. You don't realize how...

Not necessarily. Regarding my phrase 'not many people', I was referring specifically to this current time. Historically, I was referring to those who translated and preserved the bible, and those who preserved the faith by separating from the status quo that sought to destroy it. These people...

The spirit was poured out on all flesh nearly 2000 years ago at Pentecost, and is still being poured out. That is what that prophecy is referring to. The spirit of prophecy is the witness of Jesus Christ. Up until Christ, John the baptist was the greatest prophet that ever lived, and what did he...

My first bible was a scofield bible that I marked up greatly. I haven't used a bound bible, though, in 10 years and more. Everything is on a laptop now. I can't imagine going back to reading a bible in book form. It would seem so paleolithic.

But that's not how it's survived for nearly 2000 years. It took a coming together of like-minded people to preserve what gives us the liberty to grow without limitations. There is nothing wrong with religion as long as it doesn't impede the holy spirit. Unfortunately, not many people know how to...
