    Contending with the devil

    Well the context of Jude clears that up. In Jude 8, the phrase translated in the King James Version as "blaspheme dignities" comes from the Greek: Here's a breakdown of the Greek terms: Greek Word Analysis Greek Term Transliteration Meaning δόξας dóxas Glories, glorious ones...

    Did you want to discuss Spiritual Authority and its use and abuse?

    Contending with the devil

    Not Jude 7(see below) The context is Spiritual Authority : (Jud 1:8) Yet in the same way, these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings. (Jud 1:9) But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Moses...

    Don't Be Fooled ByTaoism

    A while back there was a member of this forum, and other Christian forums, who promoted Taoism. Polarity Doctrine teaches that in everything opposition is inherent, often leading to conflict. Biblical Polarity Doctrine teaches every opposition to God is brought into subjection to Him. 1Co...

    What happened to the 10 toes in Daniel 2?

    Hardly. The analogy in Daniel 2 looks forward to the crumbling of the Roman Empire, no ifs, ands, or buts.

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    How many hours have you sat in pews whilst all manner of things were orated, and wondered what it meant? I must confess that from the womb to this minute I have heard all manner of religious, ecclesiastical, evangelical, pentecostal, charismatic, holiness, and sadly, legalistic and heretical...

    What happened to the 10 toes in Daniel 2?

    Odd you should say Daniel is not a history book, and then cite history to validate your personal interpretation of it.

    What happened to the 10 toes in Daniel 2?

    It is best not to conflate the vision in Daniel 2 with other visions. (Dan 2:43) And as you saw iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mix themselves with the seed of men. But they shall not cling to one another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. Daniel 2:43 can be explained in terms of...

    The Holy People and the Treaty

    He can, and does accuse the brethren, just not before God in the sense of being victorious against the saints, who in Christ, have authority over him.

    An Unpopular Contemporary Epistle to the Church of the Orderly: Concerning the Spirit’s Displacement

    To the Church of the Orderly concerning the Spirit's displacement. Brethren, I write not to commend you, but to provoke you. For I hear that when you gather, there is decorum, but no disruption; reverence, but no revelation. You have built for the Spirit a sanctuary of schedules, and offered...

    Can a christian be a buddhist?

    Why don't you integrate into a Full Gospel Holiness Pentecostal Charismatic Spirit-filled Bible-believers Assembly, and minister as a member of the body of Christ and the priesthood of all believers.

    Can a christian be a buddhist?

    I've studied this in some depth. Buddhism’s approach to the divine is intriguingly non-theistic, which sets it apart from many other spiritual traditions. Here’s a deeper look at why Buddhism traditionally does not acknowledge the existence of a creator God: Core Philosophical Tenets Anatta...

    What is your take? Satan was the Religious Zealots of that time.

    Not my style, but using the Sword of the Spirit is 24/7

    What is your take? Satan was the Religious Zealots of that time.

    Notice I don't ignore Scriptural truth when I answer sea lions.

    What is your take? Satan was the Religious Zealots of that time.

    Some critics prefer the incontinence of extrabiblical alignments. That's on them. Of course there are unequally yoked marriages where one partner becomes a believer and the other doesn't, but the point that incompatibilities exist is well made.

    The happy thread

    That random person should stop picking on people just because they have isolated fruit preferences. I don't think they know how education works . . .

    What is your take? Satan was the Religious Zealots of that time.

    Hey, @MatthewG It's a matter of testing and aligning rather than confining. I've never considered the Scriptures to be a confining agent with regard to Christ and His Spirit. Quite the opposite. (Heb 4:12) For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword...
