The versions all say that the Spirit will tell you the listener what God wants you to hear.

May I suggest that you ask around, who else would commit to attending a mid week meeting at either a house or at the church? If there are enough people ask if a Bible study and prayer meeting could be set up for those interested. If there are other churches in town, try asking if some of them...

You appeared to be trumpeting about the virtue of being a solitary Christian, depending on the Spirit for teaching, fellowship etc and to be devaluing actually meeting physically with other Christians to worship etc.

Paul was writing part of the new testament inthe letter he sent Timothy. So he got a manuscript version, that was also an autographed version. If he as alive today with it,it would be worth millions.

I know that those who are the most heavenly minds, are of the most earthly use.

Then what are you worrying about, they will be save.

If one is a member of a church and it is starting to stray, teach false truths etc, then one raises this with the minister and anycouncil of elders. If they dismiss this, then you approach them again with company, if it is still discounted, raise it publicly at a church meeting. If it is still...

Paul has been giving instructions to Timothy, about leading the church, the assemble of God's people in that town. That assemble is the church, the Piller and ground of truth. It is a fancy way of saying see that they behave themselves.

If you can't stand Christians now how will you put up with Christians in heaven.

Then carry on doing that. If you have a gift you need to use it.

Agreed, but we still have to introduce Jesus to those who don't know him.

IAs I am an alien in this world with a cityzenship in heaven I don't know what world you are talking about.

Just what is a 'true believer' is it only those theologically educated who can discuss the finer points of predestination etc Or is it someone who lives for Jesus?

Finding new ways of crucifying Jesus, new ways of sinning. Paul talked of the trained Roman soldier in the battle line of having done everything to continue to stand. Of a solder doing his duty, fighting the enemy in front of him and of staying there standing firm in opposing the enemy. You no...

It changes nothing. We still seek to show our love for Jesus by the way we obey him, do good works, etc etc We know that we are sinners, that we will commit sins and need to seek forgiveness, but we still continue to try to be perfect.

k Actually everyone of us was taught about Jesus by somebody. Even Saul was told about Jesus by the Christians he imprisoned and later met and talked with the apostles. Today it is the same, God uses our febile efforts at evangelism to save people.

We can all always thank God for what he has done. It may be hard, we may not all like Job say " The Lord has given. The Lord has taken away Blessed be the name of the Lord." But we are told to present our requests with thanks giving to the Lord. A spiritual discipline learn and sing that old...

Sorry rather than open myself to what ever is the current car in religious circles I will stay with the dogmatic statement I find in the Bible. All have sinned, rather than today's idea ' that we are worth it' That Jesus is the only way to God rather than the ridiculous idea that all ways to God...

Even Jesus needed fellowship with his Father making time to be alone with him. Few of us have the spiritual stature of Jesus, few of us have even the spiritual stature of great Christians of the past and they found church attendance vital for there well being.

That you have churches staffed by insecure ministers must be deeply disappointing. It does not change what I said or the validity of what I said. May I make a suggestion. Contact the minister of the church whose teaching is the most biblical and ask him whether you could serve him in any way...
