Your understanding is the key to unlock the scriptures. The Lord uses what you understand about scripture to open to you the scriptures. It is His way of keeping the believer interested and hungering after the thing's of God. Never understood estimate your understanding, for one it is God given...

Your understanding, spiritual understanding is something that has come about as the Lord has led you. Sometimes we feel as though we have just paced along and had moments where the HolySpirit has had His leading in our life at times. He uses teachers, preachers, our time of study and such. But...

There is three main issues in life believers will have to deal with, the world, the flesh and, the devil. Those are the three main things that will buffet you all the days of your life. Just about the time you get your life straightened out and things are going your way, one if not all these...

Enjoyed your message. The first verse quoted sums up the matter. God does not speak to us by Adam, or Abraham, or Isaac, or Jacob, or even one of the prophets. He spoke at one time by these, but now He has spoken to us by His Son. The Son that finished the Father's work on the cross, and He...

The world was created by God for God, and the only thing that fits the human beings creation is Christ. The Christ life in the born again is the only life the was ever intended to fit the human being. Those words need to reverberate around inside of the believer until it is indelible written in...

I made a very brief but important statement in part one of the OP. It was that Christian's need to see through everything that goes on in life, to the Christ that is in them. Believers need to have the understanding that nothing in their life goes on without your Father allowing it to take...

The world is fixed in their ways! What is the meaning of that? It means the world is not going to change, the world cannot change. The old adage is; a Zebra cannot change it's strips. Have you heard the term, it fits the world because the strips of the world or the people we should say that are...

The ultimate goal in Christianity is oneness in mind with the Christ in you. The moment you believed you were joined to the Lord in oneness of spirit but the mind has to follow the fact. Paul use's wording like; let this mind be in you, that was also in Christ Jesus. The greatest verses we have...

Yes that is my understanding as well! We were crucified with Christ on the cross. As far as sins of the flesh seems most on going believers will go through the kenosis of self emptying of: selfishness, self gratification, self esteem and so on. That is my understanding anyway and most of that...

I have yet to find a verse that says we are to crucify yourselves. A popular saying at one time, if not still, was; we must die to some particular sin that beset us. As often as quoted I never found any verse that said we were to do such. Just wondering your thoughts and have you found anything...

I wanted to post something so I picked out this to quote! Christians sin but sinners are non believers, not to split hairs. Good article defining Christianity enjoyed :-)

Ephesians 4:12-13 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ...

I enjoyed your story, it's a wonderful thing to have experiences with God.

Thank God for His word, its a light, a lamp for life. We get our ideas, I know I do and then the word of God so gently brings in the reality by being very point blank and easy to read and understand as it is written. Scriptures such as; John 1:1,14 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word...

What is truth? Truth to some is what they believe, with all the scriptural backing. Religion has their certain amount of truth scriptures to prove their point and their religion right. Truth to some is how they think and act out their truth! such as keeping certain days holy, looking religious...

Yea true and I agree but you know we have the same teacher (the HolySpirit) as paul did, so I just have to wonder what is going on in Christianity.

Smack the other cheek! wait turn the other cheek :-) be yourself and hope for the best. That flesh battle will be ever present, sometimes we handle it like a champ, other times the making of a son is in full bloom.

I understand what you are saying when you talk about the Christian life, I wonder why that is? Have any thoughts

When do you suppose it happens?
