So if our ego was damaged beyond repair, then it was mission failure for Jesus Christ. I'm not saying I actually believe the animals skins to be representative of anything beyond animal skins. Thinking outside the box is not the problem, its the logical fallacies people get from it that's the...

There is a whole lot of mental gymnastics one would have to go through for this to even begin to make any sense. A reversal of the order of spirit, soul and body means he already had a "body". If they just became "body" dominate, then why would God need to give them something they already had to...

:D

Yep, we all speak English, Spanish, etc. When you "speak in tongues", you are speaking in a "tongue" that is other than your native tongue, or language, and that's really all that's meant by the term "speaking in tongues". The Bible demystifies it, but as is always the case with the 'I know God...

I have peace alright......in knowing with absolute certainty that God isn't one to be trifled. His finger was on my experience....perhaps by taking his finger off me. The day of the Lord would be considered a "dramatic encounter", but it won't be accompanied by "peace" for the world, but of...

:confused: No I'm sure he is trying to say that the disciples were referring to themselves in the third person as Christian when it clearly suggests otherwise. They never preached to anyone else but the Jews after all.

Its possible it was an attack, something I'm not necessarily a stranger to experiencing. I believe I had one before (of which I sent packing in the name and authority of Jesus), it just wasn't nearly as vivid as this recent one. I'm not totally ruling it out as a sign from God either however...

Jesus is God......so yes, that he put away sin on the cross. The pagans in Antioch gave us the term Christian. The disciples never referred to themselves as "Christians" before it was imposed on them by the worldly in Antioch. Jesus himself never called himself "Christian". If you wish to refer...

:) There is a paltry sum of edification here I see every once in a while amongst all the barking the dogs do at the slightest provocation against their own personal beliefs (not the Bible), sure. But that's not really why I'm still here. I'm here because I consider all the dog fighting here a...

I've always been a believer, a Christian on the otherhand, not so much. Its not a term a believer who knows the word of God should even use to describe himself anyway. Nothing has really "changed" or increased except more of a fear of the Lord, that thing that is the beginning of...

If scaring King Belshazzar to death wasn't his intention, then he sure as hell did regardless. I'm sure you know the story, but if not, then you can always give God the glory for Google. :)

Not sure this would fit the classic description of a 'testimony', but I am totally convinced that it was a supernatural experience nonetheless. I wasn't even sure what I should name this thread. The moderators can move this thread to wherever it may belong if not here, this will be relatively...

:rolleyes:.......Good Lord, no wonder our parents taught us to never talk to strangers growing up....well....I was at least. That's why I have decided to mostly retire myself from here. I have found just sitting back watching all the in-fighting from the shadows to be quite entertaining, nothing...

Your recent "confusion" thread basically nailed the exact reason why I don't waste my time participating on this forum anymore. I don't see myself ever coming back. When something is plainly stated in scripture and the so called "believer" will instead blatantly contradict what is stated, then...

A lot of the times discerning what is and is not meant to be taken literal, or whether or not a scripture is meant to be taken as both literal and allegory boils down to common sense. If people used it more often, understanding the Bible would make it a tad bit easier, and that's not counting...

:rolleyes:.....The scripture defines his omnipresence, not me, and he is everywhere present by his holy spirit, his "eyes" as the prophet Zechariah plainly stated. It is by his "eyes", the third part of his being that he see's all, knows all, and is everywhere present. :rolleyes:.....I find...

What first needs to be understood about the book of Timothy is what they are all about, which is summed up as follows: Some men's sins are so blatantly open for all to see that it shouldn't take any further examination of his character for the pastor to not decide to place him in a position of...

Why are the seven seals loosed? The world is in need of a smackdown, and the seven seals are meant to provide just that. Jesus Christ is the only one that overcame the world, so that's why he is the only one worthy to judge it. Not even his Father, or "he that sat on the throne" could or would...

Well, arbitrarily on account of their faith in him, and not necessarily in Jesus since the transfiguration occured well before his sacrifice. Since Jesus is technically God being "the word", one can say that they technically already knew him, before he became flesh. The Bible doesn't...

:) Where did I say I didn't love dogs and vipers? Of course I express love for them to a degree, they are creations of God afterall. Its just that with my love there is a line that is not to be crossed. If that line is crossed, you better be ready to catch these hands, and a bullet square in the...
