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

    Since you say you know the Bible after many years, if this is true you should speak all the sacrificial Lamb of God says about being the ransom for sin. You are only speaking in part about who and why some will have part in lake of fire that is the second death.

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

    The only way man can know while clothed in bodies of sin and death is to test the Spirit/spirit against what is written. What has been written will either confirm that it is of the Spirit of Christ, or it will confirm another spirit is working through that human nature within man where there...

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

    While I can appreciate knowing that the Spirit of Christ in us will use ways and means of revelation outside of what is written, I also know that anything we say is of the Spirit of Christ must be weighed against that which is written. We know what is written and have blessed assurance of what...

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

    If one believes the Spirit of God has revealed to them that all humanity shall be saved, it cannot be the Spirit of Christ working in them. Because, though I believe the Spirit speaks to believers through means other than the written Word of God, He will not speak anything that causes...

    Doctrinolatry - tribalism and division in the Body of Christ

    Sad, but true! We go by the name of Christ, then forget that name 'Christian' and bite and slander one another forgetting we are to fight against false doctrine, and not against the 'person'.

    Doctrinolatry - tribalism and division in the Body of Christ

    Isn't the reason God created man, then introduced a way by which man would be tempted and fall into sin and bring death through sin to creation, because His plan to eternally save His people is ordained in heaven that He would provide Himself a Savior, the Lamb slain from before the foundation...

    Doctrinolatry - tribalism and division in the Body of Christ

    As we search throughout biblical history, we find that God has always used evil to test/try the hearts & minds of mankind, that He would use evil to accomplish His purpose of eternally saving many people. What man thinks to use for evil, God intends for GOOD!

    Doctrinolatry - tribalism and division in the Body of Christ

    If not for the purpose of trying human hearts and minds, and helping man to come to believe our need of The Savior, the serpent, the spirit being, we know as Satan, was created by God to be more cunning and crafty, ability to deceive the human heart & mind that we might come to know His Great...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    As I turn my heart to the Lord in prayer, this discussion is heavy on my mind. You, my Lord and God tell us that you keep your Covenant and show mercy to all who truly love you in thought word and deed, all those who keep your commandment to show love for one another as Christ shows love to...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Why are you trying to explain to me what you think is in the mind of TS? You seem to have an agenda! What might it be? Because I tried to reply thoughtfully to what I thought you wanted me to help you understand. But I now believe you are just trying to get me to agree that the doctrines...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    No, what I see here is a spirit of evil coming against a brother in Christ. Why? Because he speaks as one having spiritual discernment that some of you find offensive. Is he always right? Who is? When he shows spiritual discernment regarding spirit beings, does he use the Bible to support...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    I know, the question is, is what they believed and taught biblical, or does what they believed and taught cause contradiction and confusion?

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Do you find any Biblical contradiction or confusion caused by MOST of the early church fathers believing angels procreated with human? This is how much error has been passed down and perpetuated through the ages. When Christians are content to read what others taught without harmonizing what...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    According to promise from the foundation of the world. According to Biblical, physical evidence when Christ died or the cross. Revelation 13:8 (KJV) And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Is this what you imagine TS is doing? I can't help but wonder if you really understand that TS is bringing TRUTH! Does he have perfect understanding of the spiritual realm of God? Do any of us? To say or even imply he is a liar and deceiver comes not from the Spirit of God, but by believing...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    When the bottomless pit is opened by the One given the key, John gives a vivid description of what comes out of the pit. TS does NOT deny there are spirits, both for good and for evil in this world. This argument is made either by misrepresenting, or taking out of context what is said, or...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    How was Eve beguiled? Paul is saying she allowed her mind to be corrupted by receiving the message the serpent brought to her. In the spiritual sense her mind became of the same spirit nature that was able to deceive her. This is sure part of how she became deceived, by making her question...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    No I don't have creation falling before A&E disobeyed God. Do you deny that all that came to pass at creation was ordained in heaven before creation? Christ is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, and inheritance into the Kingdom of God was prepared from the foundation of the...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    The giants of Anak were human. The descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim! Though Noah was righteous before God, the wives of one of his sons may not have been, or even Noah's son Ham who seeing his father's nakedness brought a curse upon Cannan. However Lev 20:11 and Deut 27:20...
