    Prayer for Zak

    Great, but that doesn't rule out spiritual causation and never did. The spiritual effects the physical. That's the testimony of scripture.

    Prayer for Zak

    Thank you. Lord we ask that you use Dominic powerfully by your Spirit to minister truth to his children and that you provide other witnesses to them. We ask that you draw them to yourself, and prepare their hearts to receive you by faith, believing on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the...

    Prayer for Zak

    I'm wondering if schizophrenia is caused by demonic influence.

    Numbers 23:19: Big Problem

    God is Spirit and spirit is immaterial, so no one could know God unless He revealed Himself. There are many false religions, some closer to the truth than others, because God is evident in His creation, but He can't be known by this limited Revelation through His works (no more than you can know...

    Prayer for Zak

    Absolutely, I just wanted to know if you were still in need of prayer for the situation. I ask the Lord in faith to bring healing to your body, to shrink any mass in your body, and keep you in perfect health to the strength of your testimony and the glory of His name. Amen.

    Prayer for Zak

    Thank you brother. I noticed that you asked for prayer yourself in October. Is that issue resolved?

    Prayer for Zak

    Thank you. I've just prayed for your neice as well.

    Are we the third temple?

    I've considered the first idea a distinct possibility, but it places too much emphasis on the individual rather than the church. We aren't saved simply for ourselves, but as members of the body of Christ, living stones in His spiritual temple. This was the reason that the Westminster confession...

    Prayer for Zak

    My niece's son Zak (Zachariah) is struggling a bit and under spiritual attack. My niece has been open to discussing faith and was unoffended by meal prayers and participated back when I was living in her basement. Her former husband is a professing Christian and consistently encouraged Zak to...

    What is Predetermined?

    I agree with this but discussing matters on a forum is not license to break the commandment. There is very little in the way of enforcement of church discipline on this site, but God will discipline His adopted children rebelling in open and unrepentant sin.

    Adding Vows to God's Covenant Is Sin

    Actually if you read and compare scripture to scripture, there is no specific commandment to women to love their husband's (though love is a rule among all Christians), but to the contrary, wives are exhorted to submit to and respect their husband's, while husbands are exhorted to love and care...

    What is Predetermined?

    What you just did was bare false witness against your neighbor (you can't possibly know anyone's heart but your own.) Something that you do quite regularly when loosing an argument to scripture.

    Adding Vows to God's Covenant Is Sin

    The Lord doesn't make you one with all women. You don't marry them all, but just one. That one is the result of choice and covenant made by vow or oath. You may understand God's covenants and miss the nature of men's covenants completely. You might profit from studying covenants between men...

    Super natural events

    You should understand that when we talk of "supernatural " experience, it isn't always good or of God. I've shared my "testimony of salvation" a number of times on this site and I'm not going to do that here, but it was under the influence of the "fallen " that I learned of spiritual reality. I...

    What is Predetermined?

    Scripture would appear to declare that all sin is forgiven in Christ and that in receiving Him your eternal status is changed. The Apostle John and Paul both use some oblique language to describe this, effectively saying that if you're in Christ and have His Spirit that you do not sin, but also...

    What is Predetermined?

    The notion "once saved always saved" is not a declaration of "sinlessness", but of God's mercy and grace. However, it can be presumptuous if the person who says it considers grace license to sin, abuses Christian liberty, and insults the Spirit of grace. Such are either immature and ignorant of...

    What is Predetermined?

    That's the point. Holiness is separation, the quality of being separate. However your definition doesn't hold true to scripture. The high priests of the law wore a turbin with a gold emblem that declared holiness to the Lord, yet they had to make atonement for themselves before entering into the...

    Adding Vows to God's Covenant Is Sin

    Yet you say, “For what reason?” Because the Lord has been witness Between you and the wife of your youth, With whom you have dealt treacherously; Yet she is your companion And your wife by covenant. 15 But did He not make them one, Having a remnant of the Spirit? And why one? He seeks godly...

    Adding Vows to God's Covenant Is Sin

    A pastor can't make vows for you. The pastor is not responsible for your words. Marriage covenants, like all covenants made between men, are vows or oathes between them to establish peace. God's covenants are somewhat different as He makes them and the Father isn't a man (God is Spirit), but...

    In Jesus Name?

    Not really. Scripture uses terms of corporal punishment as correction as loving. 24 He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly. Proverbs 13:24 God disciplines His children to spare them from destruction and those who aren't disciplined by Him are...
