And the sorcerers in Moses day copied what God did through Moses, but that did not invalidate what Moses did. What is a "solid" christian Brother? I have noticed that God guides a moving vessel, not a stationary one. A stationary one is going nowhere. I'm curious. Did the Holy Spirit tell...

I am not sure that anyone is consciously forsaking the gathering together with a spirit led gathering of God's people. As I said in my previous post, the word "church" (ekklesia) does not appear in this verse. It refers to a gathering or collection of people so it is obvious it refers to...

How do you know. Were you there or are you making an assessment on the basis of what you have been told? I do not find your argument convincing as it seems to be "I am of the opinion" rather than the "word of God says this." I usually shy away from "It is my opinion" to build a case for...

Sorry about the delay in replying. It happened about 15 years ago. I was praying specifically about abortion. God was talking to me about having to forgive the women who had their baby aborted. I got through that and said that I understood his thinking about it but I didn't have to love the...

Once again, you are making the scriptures say what you want it to say to reinforce modern day denominational dictates. There are 25 verses in the New Testament that speaks about the leadership of the church. They all say the same and there is no deviation. The leadership was in the hands of...

Not one of the verses that you quoted refer to as you so quaintly put it "going to church." The concept of "going to church" was non existent in the New Testament church. Even Hebrews 10:25 in the original Greek says that it a gathering or collecting together. The word "church" (Greek ecclesia)...

In all honesty, we need to know what church we are talking about. New Testament or today's man made religious observance. There are a large number of churches out there who are just flogging a dead horse. Are you saying that we should be committing ourselves to an organisation that has no life...

Justin, can I take up this comment of yours. How many church leaderships would be game to sit down and ask themselves the question "those things that we do, how much of it actually focuses people's attention on developing their relationship with the Lord or enable them to meet with the Lord"...

Rex, as a matter of interest, how did John throw baptism? And how did God throw Moses?

James, you have got it in one.

Your opinion duly noted Rex and may I be as bold to say ignored as I have evidence to the contrary but I realise that you will never understand that as the dead letter of the law is more important to you than the living word of faith. I say that not as criticism because I used to think exactly...

Actually you are proving my point as what you say is based on one video clip. This claim means that nearly every church service is to be treated with suspicion as most of them do the same thing week in and week out without variation some of them for 500 years.

Actually in my bible it is as it is talking about a person succeeding in business. if your business is making leather products, you have no produce to give. One thing is sure. it is definitely not about the church meeting on Sunday morning.

Totally agree.

How do you know? Were you there?

It is a common tactic when you have no support for what you say, you avoid the question with 'don't bother me with the need to defend myself." Thanks for confirming that in fact, the scripture does not show that the five ministries of Ephesians 4:11 are no longer needed. Of course you can...

Thankyou Rex for making it clear that it is your opinion. Duly noted. I am aware that there are whole churches out there who are committed to denying the fact of the gifts of the Spirit being a part of everyday life for the believer to use as led by the Holy Spirit. In one of our local...

It is beyond my comprehension how Christians have the temerity to rubbish what they don't understand by saying "I know someone" and then suggest that that one person's experience is the basis for everything to do with that subject. In my 58 years as a Christian I have seen good and bad in...

The literal translation of this is "And on the first of the Sabbaths the disciples having been assembled to break bread, being about to depart on the morrow, Paul reasoned to them. And he continued his speech until midnight. NOTE: The word is Sabbath, not first. And another note is that Paul...

Whatever God tells me to and the word is prophesy, not prophecy. Did I say you didn't? I certainly experience God in prayer but I know a lot don't as it is just a ritual to be performed because that is what the denomination requires. I have no interest in changing your mind because it looks...
