    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    I don't know Steven, that sounds a bit too unbiblical IMO. Babes in Christ need the milk of the word of TRUTH IMO. Just getting indoctrinated into "the ways of church and faith"???? Unpack just what you mean by 'that'. "the ways" of the church I just left 6 months ago are BAD. And the...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    I also have a copy of the CLT. It does a good job of cleaning up a lot of the twisting of the modern translations. It's claim to fame is that it consistently used the same English word for the same Greek word. Not like I pointed out how the KJV disagreed with all the modern translations and...

    :watching and waiting: I hope you didn't finish your popcorn before I posted. :p Question, as to your signature line? How would you prove it....should I ask....for proof? :hmhehm

    Dear brother, I absolutely would love to explore the issue. But it is not something I want to come between us if there is no change of mind on your part. I wish everyone knew WHY I believe. But most come to the table with one or two spirits. One is a religious spirit, and the other is an...

    Thank you Aunty, for your support. :Happy:....and your brevity. :hmhehm Brevity which does have things, WE STILL DISAGREE on too. But I cool with that...:cool:

    I obviously did attract a lot of ugly responses...WE always do. But in your heart of hearts...don't you agree that Hitler was a tyrant? In my heart of hearts, my God isn't the God of orthodoxy. And my view of God isn't a tyrant. He isn't doing something that's worse than Hitler in our...

    Like we've shared before, that single word HELL is translated from 3 different Greek words. Do I believe in "gehenna/HELL". It was a garbage dump outside of Jerusalem. And 'today' 2,000 years later....it's a housing subdivision in a much bigger Jerusalem. Do I believe in "hades/HELL"? Which...

    Can you give an example specifically? I mean like a particular denomination or organization you consider a cult? I'm still vague in your application of that definition. Again, I'm not sure who would fall under that category, in your opinion. Since Abraham, Issac and Jacob, never knew God by...

    Unpack that a bit. What do you think falls under the "false God" category? I agree with Steven and many others I've heard over the years. Father hurts and church hurts are the two biggest things I've heard in my 50 years. I was at a conference in Denver one time when the speaker asked how...

    Did you not know 'Ultimate Reonciliation' of ALL, was how Steven and I both believed. If not, then now you know why Steven and I got the 'left foot' of dis-fellowship at the old CF. :hmhehm This doctrine of the Plan of God for the ages, is indeed a hard one for most to come to a true...

    What is your notion of Christian exclusivity?

    I think that the 'one verse' that says "(if we endure to the end)" is referring to those at the beginning of the chapter. MAT 24:3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the...

    I've heard that Jeremiah verse for years being used just like you did. JER 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? My problem with that was this; what do you do with this verse in the NT? MAT 12:34-35 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being...

    Things get interesting when we're talking about 'the human BEING' as well as 'the human DOING'. And what you just described reminds me of the three levels of the soul. When studying to be a doctor....YES CHIROPRACTORS are doctors; :p We learned that the body really has 3 brains. The cephalic...

    For years I have said; "Even Fundamentalists speak in tongues." I started saying that right after coming to my first ever CHRISTIAN FORUM. I'd never heard the words like Eisegesis, Exegesis, Mariology, Hermeneutics, Soteriology.....etc. etc. The 'topical' forum menu was just like the...

    I thought I said something 'to that effect' in my first post to you. You had barely got here and had THREADS galore. That's why I questioned whether you had been on a forum before. Take a break then....OLD MAN.... :Oh no: But don't check out on us. You are an interesting read and that...

    What was your USERNAME back then? If it was the same as now, all I can say is my 'forgoter' outran my 'rememberer'. Getting booted really upset me. In all those years I think I only had 4 or 5 rebukes from the MODs. I fought their reasoning but they didn't want to hear BIBLE VERSES, they...

    No, I haven't cast bible away. If you're asking you obviously haven't been reading me I have more RED BIBLE verses than I've seen by most here. Have you ever cast out a demon from someone? I have, and the first time someone manifested a demon there were three of us. who had never seen a...

    Everyone Goes to Heaven

    Oh, you mean like the 400 DENOMINATIONS of "the NOMINAL church" of today????? All blabbing how 'they're right...AND EVERYBODY ELSE IS WRONG!!!! Oh wait, that sounds just like 'someone else' here. :hmhehm Oh well, at least it isn't me telling GOD who is spending ETERNITY SEPARATED from the...

    I guess WE got an OK from St SteVen so what more do we need? :Happy: He starts new threads faster than I can change underwear, and he started this one. So I do want to say that the "witty inventions" verse also came to my mind when I was posting back to you. But I think you heard what I...

    For 10 minutes in the mornings, I have been Inhaling through the nose, exhaling and praying in tongues with the mouth. Then holding my breath until I'm feeling hypoxic (feeling need for more air or pneuma/spirit). Breath in and repeat. I do this while gazing fully into the rising sun. For...
