    The pride of men

    Well ok, but not exactly! Jesus Christ is actually our Teacher and the Word of God, because the Holy Spirit does not speak on His own but He takes the words of God which belong to Jesus Christ and speaks the to us. Therefore the Holy Spirit is like a living telephone line or perhaps a computer...

    The pride of men

    No, that is wrong!! Pride is bad!!!! Confidence in God is good, because only God is good!!! And have you not read that God is love!! So you are not God and your leaning on your own understanding is never going to result in your righteousness!!! If indeed a person does humble himself before...

    The pride of men

    Ok - God can and does use other people!! But even if they have a word they got from God and the instructions to tell you what they heard, that is still them speaking and not Him speaking through is Holy Spirit!!! Jesus said, "“I do not receive glory from men;" (Jn 5:41) He didn't lie did He...

    The pride of men

    Have we ever seen the acronym WWJD? Jesus does set the perfect example for us, not that we are going to achieve that, but this is the high and lofty goal - that we try to be like Jesus who did and said only what the Father told Him!!! It is not going to happen, but that is what Jesus did. Paul...

    The pride of men

    They do, and it is written to encourage each other Today, as long as Today is Today!! So even if they heard from Him yesterday, they might not Today!!! And I have soooooo many examples of Christians not hearing Him, I can't help from being amazes how we don't seek Him Today!! Let me give you...

    The pride of men

    OH MY - what a sad story. Not so much that you can't read but that you don't hear from the Lord!! And the pride problem is a problem for all men kind, even from the time of Adam and Eve. So don't think you are unlike any other person. Still you have to overcome, and seek the voice of the Lord...

    The pride of men

    No we don't hear sound waves - aka "audibly" The word of God we preach is found in our hearts and even sometimes coming out our own mouth. That is because we hear the Holy Spirit speaking to our spirit!! And as for the secret, have we not read: Prov 8:17 “I love those who love me; And those...

    The pride of men

    First - God is spirit - therefore we hear God with our spiritual ears! Second - Jesus Christ is the Word of God - not the Bible!! The Bible is the Sacred Writings or the Scriptures. The Greek word use for "Scriptures" is Graphe and is not translated "Word" in your Bible! Yet thru Isaiah God...

    The pride of men

    One of the things about the Lord is that He is the Teacher. So as the LORD OF LORDS and our Lord, we get instructions from Him, and as The Teacher, we also get teachings from Him. And for the teachings, He often gets me up in the middle of the night so I don't get distracted. Now this morning He...

    I broke you post up a bit to cover a few things. First, above let me just point out to you that you write " you seem to project", and "pride, when you converse with others" . Now I covered this "pride of men" issue a couple of posts above. Pride is the very thing that happens when we don't seek...

    PRIDE? Let me tell you about the pride that men have: Men believe that they are smarter than God!!!!! That is the pride of men - that we, little specs of dirt on a spec of dirt that we call earth, which is circling another spec of dirt on fire, we call the sun, which circles about in with...

    I want to go back to the OP and what the author of it wrote. So I have added the OP and another statement from the author of the OP, plus I want to note that he, or she, also brought up a Calvinist 'life style' and something about not actually understanding it. I am not nor ever have been a...

    God is spirit, so we don't hear an "audible" (a voice from sound waves) from Him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Saying that does not mean that He can't make His spiritual voice come across with enough power to make our mind think it is audible!!!! He doesn't do that often!!! And there are good reasons for...

    Ps 71:17 O God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous deeds. Why do we praise the Lord? Ps 71:3 Be to me a rock of habitation to which I may continually come; You have given commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress. What does it look like to...

    It sounds like Him to me, and it doesn't have to be nor should it be a rare occurance!! Now you will find lots of people who never hear from Him, like modern day Pharisees to whom Jesus said they didn't hear His voice!! They don't ever hear from Him and so don't know His peace and what it is...

    ‘I SAID, YOU ARE GODS’?

    Sorry not to get back to you sooner. If you understand what it expected for perfection, and since ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS IS SIN then also what is required to not "sin", then you would understand who and what Jesus Christ actually does. Of course God is spirit, and to say "audible" we are talking...

    ‘I SAID, YOU ARE GODS’?

    When should you talk to the Lord and listen to Him? Paul explained that he took all thoughts captive to Jesus Christ, so yeah we need encouragement to talk to Him and listen in all things!!! That is what we are talking about with "everyday called "Today"! Really know Him means you really know...

    ‘I SAID, YOU ARE GODS’?

    What do we encourage others to do? It is seek the Lord and listen to Him - Today, correct? And if we want the Lord Jesus Christ to come in - it doesn't require He comes a 'Marching', it only requires that we deside to just listen to Him, because He is always just standing there talking to us so...

    ‘I SAID, YOU ARE GODS’?

    Yes, Jesus is love but what does that really mean to us?? It means He reproves us - and we don't like that, do we??? Rev 3:19 ‘Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.' And because He loves us He disciplines us!! And we really don't like that!! Anyone...
