    Why did I become a Christian? and witness of holy spirit

    We are not under obligation to keep any laws Debp, but know that there are consequences both good or bad resulting from our decisions. Re laws:- If you cheat you can be certain it's going to be hard to find friends; if you put drugs into your body long enough good health and longevity will be...

    Money Matters

    Do we conclude that Jesus was concerned with these things below? No doubt his disciples were in their early years with Jesus. Where are we getting our next meal? How will we pay for the roof over our head? How will we pay the doctor's bill? How will we live when we are too old to work? I...

    WOMEN AREN'T TO SPEAK IN TONGUES IN THE CHURCH

    WOMEN AREN'T TO SPEAK IN TONGUES IN THE CHURCH If you're a babbler, then cut it. If you can't or don't want to, then at least shut up in the meeting of God's people.

    Why did I become a Christian? and witness of holy spirit

    I guess we are free to do whatever we choose. The question is, what is it that we choose? Don't you think God gave those dietary laws in Leviticus 11 for the purpose of maximising the people's ability to have healthy bodies and sharper minds? You no doubt have heard the saying, 'you are what...

    Trump has abandoned America First

    The protracted mentioning of his own name in this blurb ....even in jest, does reveal his entrenched narcissism....and the continued practice of lying.....which he thinks is funny.

    The Bliss of Religious Homeostasis - Don't Rock the Boat

    Being put out takes different forms. It can be extreme like overt shunning practised in different circles or it can be more subtle like not being notified when new posts appear on a subject commented on. Yes, yes, I know there are lots of excuses, however observation across the spectrum over...

    Why the great chain?

    It's a metaphor for movement being restricted to a desolate earth where there are no nations to deceive because all inhabitants are dead .

    The Bliss of Religious Homeostasis - Don't Rock the Boat

    If a person is prone to distance themselves because I ask questions, it is to their loss. I will know the score re their lack of curiosity, their unhealthy ego....and frankly, I leave them to their choices. If it gets that bad the tribe puts me out, I guess I pack my bags and go. If the boat...

    what happens when holy spirit comes upon you ?

    God meets us where we are. He meets us when our understanding of him is way off track. His Sprit will guide us to where he wants us to be. He will show you Jesus because Jesus is the full revelation of God. If we do not resist by insisting on our own way, he will open our understanding.

    what happens when holy spirit comes upon you ?

    The Holy Spirit lives in our consciousness (our mind). He directs us towards Jesus. John 16:13-14 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will...

    Trump has abandoned America First

    So, according to the above texts would you conclude God put Nero into power....and Hitler or other despots that plundered people and goods throughout history?

    It's unfortunate Reggie that you loose all your credibility with your constant labelling and name calling.

    Trump vying for Greenland and Canada

    I guess you'll never escape your 'good will' in dispossessing the indigenous of the country you have usurped while continuing to invade other countries, patting yourselves on the back in the process.

    Trump vying for Greenland and Canada

    The manifestation of mental illness is the focus and primary interest of the self. The idea of self sacrifice is not on the horizon

    Trump has abandoned America First

    Ohhh, I'm surprised you say this. Have I misunderstood your question?

    Trump has abandoned America First

    The question was, who puts people into power which Matthias believes God does, so I asked if that would apply to Nero as well. You then asked, what did God say so I gave you the scripture of Luke 4:5-7 to consider your conclusion.

    Trump has abandoned America First

    This is how Luke 4:5-7 reads; 'Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish...

    G'day Bill.....do it with jeans and tee shirt and drop the pastor (title) stuff.....otherwise you'll never get to the coal face.

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    I guess you've repented of your arrogance yet I see a continuance of it....so I would ask, do you see it as ignorance on your part or blindness on mine?
