Why did the toilet roll, roll down the hill? To get to the bottom.

One thing that I do feel strongly about is that there are going to be some very big surprises when it comes to heaven. There are going to be a lot of people not there who we thought would be and there are going to be a lot of people there who we thought would not be.

When you come to think of it, one of the biggest barriers to being a follower of Jesus is denominations. Generally speaking, you have to follow their precepts and ways of doing things to be accepted. Say something they don't like and you are on the outer. Here is a classic example for you...

Just some thoughts. No denominations are right because the scripture is clear that unity is the way to go so anyone or anything that divides is not from God. My relationship is with God first and foremost. I do not have a relationship with a denomination. It is God that meets all your needs...

I like it.

Romans 3:9 What then? Do we excel? Not at all! For we have charged both Jews and Greeks before, all with being under sin; Romans 5:12 Because of this, even as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death passed to all men, inasmuch as all sinned. 2Thess 2:3 Do...

I think you are reading into it what is not there. Disciples are people committed to the cause; the teaching; the experience. If you don't have that you are not a disciple.

Thank you for your comments. I would add for clarification that anyone receiving a directive from someone who believes that it is from the Holy Spirit always needs to have confirmation from another source. Here is an example for you from my own experience. I attended a men's meeting and someone...

Again you are projecting your interpretation onto what I am doing. This thread is about the NINE gifts of the Spirit in 1 Cor 12. if you want to write about the others be my guest...in another thread. The 10-14 in your lists relate to the government of the body of Christ, not the operation of...

The next gift I want to talk about in the list is tongues. The literal interpretation of this is "and to another, workings of powers, and to another, prophecy, and to another, discerning of spirits, and to another, kinds of languages, and to another, interpretation of languages." (1 Cor 12:10)...

For one simple reason. There are only nine gifts of the Spirit in the Corinthian passage I am teaching from. if you want to deal with all the others be my guest....in another thread. And I am glad I embarked upon this exercise as it is obvious from some replies that people are willfully...

And that relates to Matt. 28:19 how?

I stand by what I said.

Satan is the author of unbelief. Passions, desires, delusions bring about unbelief. I think I need to clear something up here. Too many people start halfway through the story and as a result, they are walking an incorrect path. Everything in life comes from one of two sources. God or Satan...

I think you will find that our calling is to go and make disciples. Matt 28:19

As they are not the subject of this thread, they will enhance nothing.

They are not gifts of the Spirit. They are fruits.

Can you tell me how this relates to the nine gifts of the spirit in 1 Cor 12?
