Haha! Spreading the love, aren't you? :lol:

Yes. :) To know God, we must know him in Spirit. We fool ourselves into thinking that we can please him carnally. This is impossible!

Hey Hosanna! :) Glad to have you on here! God says we must 'love him with all our hearts, all our soul, all our mind, and all our strength'. I won't lie. I don't. I love the Lord, but I am a failure when it comes to giving everything... But I've also come to understand why! I am young and...

I see what you're saying. I would only switch 'false self' with 'old man', and 'true self' with 'new man'. The old nature is at war with the new. There is one point you made that I think is huge (because it is so neglected): We can use the Bible to puff ourselves up (the old man), and think...

Looks lik fun, Robbie! :) Bless you brother

Well, if the natural man can't understand the bible out of his own reasoning, it can actually do nothing without the work of the Spirit. The Bible is simply a tool for the Lord to teach us. We don't 'know' things by reading, we know them by the revelation of Jesus Christ. That's my...

You're asking some hard questions, aspen! I like it! ;) For 'belief' to save you, it has to be living faith. Living faith is to seek daily to walk in the life of Christ, both with zeal for the Lord, and a contrite heart towards him.

Hmmm... I would say that the simple answer is that as the world hated Christ, so they hated his messengers. These men were not afraid to show forth the offense of the cross and to shine the light on a dark world. But since the world hates the light, and loves to be in darkness, they hated those...

How come you're leaving, Groundzero? Anyways, may the Lord bless you and guide you :)

My point was this; our battle is in the Spirit, and it is by the power of Christ we defeat the enemy. The war is spiritual :)

We conquer by the Spirit, brother! Not formulas... And the words in your formula have no more power than Abra cada bra, bing ba da boum.... It's in faith! It's in the Spirit. Our battle is in the Spirit, and therefore by the Spirit. We battle powers and principalities, and battle with the...

Man cannot understand the things of the Spirit and the life available in Christ without revelation from the Spirit. Yes, the Spirit calls us to reality. ;)

Ah Aspen! No more of this calling you by your real name thing! ;) lol That is not from me actually. A brother helped me see that the other day. It's amazing how the world has turned Christianity into the exact opposite of what the Lord made it to be. The point is that we realize we are made...

Good point! Whenever we think that the end is somethint else then being conformed to Christ and the revelation that we receive of him, we miss the point! God is not trying to tell us how to figure it out carnally and save ourselves carnally! He's trying to get to us so that we realize that we...

Amen Robbie and Jake! :) Moral is the tree of Good and Evil... We then are the ones deciding what's good and what's bad. Christ calls us to an entirely different way. He tells us to choose the tree of life (which is actually Him!) We don't walk according to morals; there is freedom in the...

Hey brother! Good to have you a-board! ;) Lord bless ya

But who's authority is it? It has to be the power of the Lord in you, my brother, and by HIS authority we can defeat the enemy... Anything less is bordering on exorcism ;) Much love in our Lord :D

1 Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. Modern churchianity is not quite like the radical life that the first disciples...

You want to betaught of the spirit! Paul and Peter both worked in the Spirit, and the Spirit taught THROUGH them. That is the purpose. That's why it says we have ONE teacher. And yet there are teachers! Christ teaches and only him, but he also does it through others. (Paul says 'It is no...
