It is on God to cause the increase since we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but... Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle...

Galatians 4:16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? Proverbs 27:5 Open rebuke is better than secret love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. I have to admit, when people are doing evil to me, I do not rebuke them for I...

Yeah.. when correcting one another in Christ's love, it should be private and if they do not listen, then 2 or 3 witnesses is required to confirm the word and if that erring brethren still is not listening, then before the whole congregation; and if still unrepentant, excommunication is...

And yet out of all of that, I saw no testimony how that glorified Jesus Christ at all. All I saw was how special those people are by having that phenomenon, thus alluding that saved believers are missing out on something, thus unwittingly, giving another calling, another Jesus, another baptism...

Paul gives an example of how some believers will err from the truth and have their faith overthrown, but he points out that nevertheless that foundation remains along with His seal for why believers should be calling former believers to repent by going to that throne of grace for help in...

I thank you for sharing your belief. Do you find this to be true? Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.

How do you embrace our ontological structure? Give an example.

Really? I'll forgive you for that. Sure it is not a simile or a metaphorical reference to being a descendent of Adam? Cause, as it is, I doubt any doctor will say when aborting an unborn child we are going to see clay. How easy would it be to put an end to anti abortion by showing a lump of...

Or anywhere else for that matter. In a theocracy like an Islamic countries, genocide happens here and there but the government shows no concern for those terroristic acts of cleansing. I still say the problem is man's fallen nature as sinners and the answer is Jesus Christ.

I can understand that. A word of advise though.. as most people do not like to read long posts even with scripture, it stands to reason to try to summarize your talking points into a short post if that is at all possible. I realize that at the opening post that may not be possible when you...

I am not sure why you would apply the scripture about clay and man being formed from clay when the clay has no limbs, no pumping blood and no umbilical cord attachment to someone living so they can live and grow. The clay once formed and given the breath of life starts the circulation as well...

I am sure at some point in your education that you have found others like yourself, had to put things in layman's terms for others to understand. Your attempt below is an example, so thank you for that. I admit I had to look up the word "efficacy". If I understood this last post of yours...

Thank you for your input. As iron sharpens iron, we leave it to God to cause the increase. Discernment is needed here to apply His words correctly since scripture cannot go against scripture. Matthew 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall...

I do wonder about the length of hair on this shroud as well as the image left on it as if this has been a person long deceased since hair and fingernails continue to grow after death and not sure how his body even suffered decay to such an extent to leave an impression like that on the shroud...

Thank you for your questions. A brother in India testified how he never believed that the Holy Spirit did those manifestations as He did back in the early days of the church any more. Then he went on to talking about that calendar day Pentecost Sunday where after his adult calls on the Holy...

Thank you for sharing again. 1 John 2:27 does reprove your notion that the Comforter was only for the apostles. Read it again. 27 "And as for you, the anointing which ye received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you concerning all...

What about how you apply this verse? John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And Paul described how it was for the O.T. saints that had not received the promise yet which was a Heavenly country living in the...

Thank you for sharing. I have searched the entire Bible for verses that teaches the practice of worshiping the Holy Spirit with the Father & the Son, and found none. That practice was introcuded by the modified Nicene creed in 381 A.D. and although there is a web site that gave a scriptural...

Thank you for sharing. Does what Jesus says to the hostile Jewish leaders cannot be applied to saved believers who do not honor the Son? If we take what Jesus said by itself as only directed at the hostile Jewish leaders, then why in that way? John 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to...

Thank you for sharing. If Jesus was "just" talking to His disciples of what the Holy Spirit will do, then that applies to all who receive the Comforter at their salvation too. One can read His words in the scripture and the Holy Spirit will bring into remembrance of His words to us at the...
