This isn't really my interpretation of the woman with the alabaster box, it's my gifted teachers. He's graduated now, but taught almost daily for 50 years. He was Dr. of theology from Stanford University and had a Dr. In education. He amassed the largest collection of biblical manuscripts in...

Could you please show me some examples of those gifted teachers? I'm always open to know Christ better through someone else's understanding.

Ya were not on the same page. Where did you get your understanding of this? Did someone influence you or some other way?

I realize that is the popular method to respond to the call of the Father, but what you've bore witness to here will not result in recieving the Spirit of Christ. At best what you wrote is just an extended definition of repentance, which is just turning from our way to His way in our mind. Now...

First , the" Spiritual man" means a man that belongs to the Spirit of Christ. That is where the temporal judgement comes from, not a carnal mind. Second, that state of being can only come by NT Faith as it relates to the living God. This is communicated to us from the Greek texts by the use of...

Just a little odd, the most important word in the NT Scriptures, ( other than Grace) and it couldn't be correctly translated into the English language?

Or, you could call it what it is, " pisteuo."

The message I'm trying to share is not an easy one. Probably would be easier to stop Niagra falls. But I have to continue to make this information known to as many as possible. I'm honored you made the choice to speak with me.

The topic kind of evolved from a couple of other threads, if you hadn't been following them I can see how it would be a vague op.

Also Willie, the Greek language doesn't allow work and effort to be separated from pisteuo or saving Faith. You don't have true pisteuo or saving Faith until the will is engaged with what the mind decides, and in a sustained process. The work and effort is simply 95 % courage, 4% endurance, and...

No just provided two Greek dictionarys definition of what saving Faith is. Vines" a personal surrender to Him and a life inspired by such surrender." Strong's," pisteuo means NOT just to believe." No opinion here just basic facts. It's not our fault we've been taught a backwards message"...

This thread is about what the woman did. The Spirit of Christ had not been given to faithers yet at the time of the last supper. My apologies for not being more precise in my op. This is why I'm not a teacher!

Agreed. A command is maybe a little over the top, but a suggestion wouldn't be enough. The important part of this is that Christ made a point to elevate what this woman did on par or as the same importance as His work on the Cross. I'm not saying that what she did in any way fulfill the...

I've been active in all the discussion groups over the last 20 years. I've never met one person who understood how to fulfill pisteuo correctly. All are caught in the " believe and recieve" trap, and they don't even realize it. In fact, they seem to like it there! The Spirits man Judges all...

The real gift that all those who endure a surrendered life is recieving the Spirit of Christ, it's referred to in scripture as the "Grace deposit." Like you said there are many gifts, but only some recieve the responsibility to perfect saints. In my understanding is that Spirit of Christ in...

Nice to meet you also stranger. Notice the word" some" . He gave " some" , not every faither. Certainly not every believer since there is no such thing.

Ephesians 4 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: In these days of self teaching and private instructions by the Spirit...

I guess we'll see about that.

Cart before the horse here, understanding, fulfilling, and maintaining Faith first, (pisteuo) then having sound doctrine.

Being lazy is worse.
