If you are quoting scripture to debate a point against others quoting other scriptures, without reconciling the two scriptures -- you are quoting scripture just like Satan! If so, you are also documenting your own failure of the testing of every spirit (1 John 4:1), for God is not against...

Acts 1:11 "Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing...

2 Timothy 2:15 "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." I might just come right out and say what is meant, but perhaps we could hear what others say. What say you?

Church is not a verb. I guess that is the reason I have a dislike for "doing" it--I love it, but "doing" or "playing" church, just rubs me the wrong way. Sometimes, it's so boring! But today I have a new appreciation for it. We're starting a study in First Thessalonians and Paul is winding up...

Genesis 5:5 So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died. In Context | Full Chapter | Other Translations Genesis 5:8 So all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died. In Context | Full Chapter | Other Translations Genesis 5:11 So all the...

How absurd! Sorry if you have been mislead, but three "advents" by definition would be impossible. First the flesh, then the spirit--that's all. There is no third element or arrival.

And there you have it from the Catholics...or some...of whom are "led by fallen, fallible humans" instead of the Holy Spirit sent by Jesus according to His promise. And that is the rift. That is what the Spirit has led men of faith and good conscience to break away from throughout the history...

Can I get a witness? Is He in you? Is Jesus in anyone? ...And, if Yes...do you know what the next question is?

The point being... Why are so many during this day and age not on board with these spiritual times? Ephesians 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." Jesus was the Last of the...

In direct contrast to God spiritualizing everything, God first manifests (makes externally known) everything. As it is written: Isaiah 42:9 "Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them.” Matthew 20:16 "So the last will be...

God is spirit. He is in the process of spiritualizing everything. Why then, is "spiritualizing" a bad thing for so many would-be christians? (Rhetorical) ...But hey, go for it. Try to rationalize for us why one would go against the very makeup of God. Let's hear it. God already knows who you...

I suppose, no, scratch that. I am sure there are those who consider me a kook wearing the banner of Christian. But then again, even the people of God down through the ages thought the same of the legitimate prophets/messengers sent by God...and even killed them. So...as history has proven...

Much of the New Testament was not meant for all people, but only for “He who has an ear” to hear “what the Spirit says to the churches.” In other words, even that which is written was not to be heard or understood by everyone who reads it. But rather, that we have entered that time foretold of...

This passage comes up so often, and is so, so, misunderstood: Acts 1:9-11 NKJV Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in...

I guess this would be a "Buyer Beware!" message/discussion. Everyone has an opinion, everyone has the idea of equal access to information and all that is considered "fair" according to our modern society, and indeed these are the times of which it is written that God would pour out His spirit...

When you read of Christ sending "another" Helper...what comes to mind? "Another", in addition to whom? Most would automatically think Jesus meant another Helper in addition to Himself. After all...isn't Jesus an absolutely great helper? Well, of course! But He was not sent to "help" the world...

This teaching was used on another thread as a way of rationalizing hearing the truth from God...but not seeing it (yet). Sorry folks, that is called blindness. When the scriptures come in present and past tense - that is what it means; and if you don't understand the timeless, eternal nature...

If in ones ability to reason, knowing that time is not a part of the kingdom, but rather a part of the created world, what sense does it make to take up a worldly perspective? For example, if one were interested in learning a new language...would it make reasonable sense to hold fast to your old...

This is a debate forum and things get said that could and often should be considered as harsh. But, for the record...most of us here LOVE THE CATHOLICS. Do we disagree on things? Yes, but we do so as parent and child. Allow me to explain: We are indeed the children of the fathers of the...

So...I was just accused by a Mod on another forum of "new age" "mystic" "nonsense." To which I responded, saying, "You are not allowing or imagining what surely must have come across the same way when Jesus said "You must be born again" and "You must eat of My flesh and drink of My blood."...
