Good point! The topic should be stay upon. Yet how do we really know about forgiveness and vengeance if we don't actually seek Him?? Do we even understand the difference between vengeance and pointing people to Jesus Christ, as in actually seeking His voice, if we don't seek His voice...

The Bible doesn't conflict with Jesus, but your understanding can!! When you write that we are to embrace and love the Bible, that understanding is not in the Bible and conflicts with the understanding that comes from the Lord our God!! God commanded that you love the Lord our God with all our...

So the Scriptures are now "from the very bowels of satan"????????????????????????? Ps 82:6 I said, “You are gods, And all of you are sons of the Most High. Imagine thinking that being sons of the Most High is what comes from satan!!! The problem is and still is that we don't seek the voice of...

YES YES YES!! I don't feel like a god!! Yet I can hear from the Lord our God and do what He asks me to do. And in that case we are both representing God and being used like a hand of God!! It is written that we are the body of Christ, so we who do hear Him, are made my Him for His purpose...

You make hearing from Him more complicated than it is!!! It is written that all those who seek find!!! Hearing the Lord is a simple as that!! Now as for some of the other things you mention - " repentance, confession of sins, accepting the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, commitment to...

Jn 10:31 - 38 The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?” The Jews answered Him, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out...

To get the Lord to use you, you just have to listen to His instructions! If you want Him to use you more, you just ask Him to use you more, and then listen to His instructions! However, it might be better to just listen to His instructions. In the Lord's prayer we see the request that His will...

Yes!! :) Christians are followers of Jesus Christ, but that means we talk to Him and are lead and taught by Him!! Those who don't know Him might be correct to call us Christians, because we are indeed followers of Jesus Christ, but they can understand what the means because they don't know...

What you fail to understand is that we don't "Love the Bible" - we don't Embrace the Bible - so we are not actually putting out trust in the Bible but the Bible clearly say to put your trust in Jesus Christ!! Now the first words I heard from my Lord Jesus Christ were "Ready You Bible", thereby...

I thought it was written that you shall love the Lord you God with all your heart, and you neighbor as yourself. Where is it written that you shall love an inanimate object? Idolatry is made up of such statements We are not making an idol out of the Bible, and thereby replacing actually knowing...

One says the other judges a person and knowing God, and the other say he shouldn't be judge when he clearly says the don't know God??? Jesus said He didn't judge, but as He heard He judged! Therefore I ask, which one of you believes that they heard?? Is not "Hear, O Isreal" the foremost...

I like the above post. It has a number of nice points - so let's look at them and consider, as asked. It is correct to say that "One does not approach God unless one is humble! Very nicely put. That is where repentance comes in. Repentance is a direct result of being humble!!! This might be...

The Lord once talked to me about what He called "instant forgiveness". The above post describes "instant forgiveness" extremely well. It is like the old saying "like water off a duck". Now being "passive to offense" is not exactly the same thing. A "passive person" can be just that, 'being...

While we often read repentance and forgiveness together, they are still two separate things, and they don't have to go together! Mat 18:21 Then Peter came and said to Him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” There is no mention of repentance...

The OP brings up a great question - what is forgiveness? And what does it mean, and what does it not mean? First of all forgetting other peoples sins is not the same thing as forgiving them. That is why we sometimes see that we forgive AND forget other people's sins. They are two different...

I am not completely against having a subject that perhaps should not be discussed, though freedom, as in freedom in Christ, would seem to imply that we should have freedom of speech! The founding father's of the USA, were Christians and acknowledge that in our laws. Yet even wise judges have put...

I testify, based on my belief, that it is not enough to say God is love, but you have to listen to Him if you say that. don't you?? Where is the testimony in the OP about actually listening to Him? Where indeed it the real testimony? It seem to be just saying how God is love and how all things...

The Lord's asked me to come to this thread, so I did. And I have to say that I generally like the OP and following post. So when I read them, I turned away thinking, that's great, but the Lord asked me to come back to this thread. I know why He did that, but I am not sure I wanted to. Maybe -...

2 Timothy 4: 2,3 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in...

That is a Bible verse, and not me telling you!! I was clearly covering you saying Amen to the bible being the Words of God!! And that is wrong - So I reprove you by using the Scriptures!! Of have you not read that the Scriptures are good for reproof???
