What I've read so far of Jeanne Guyon's own writing doesn't seem new age to me. @Laurina, @Episkopos, @amigo de christo, @Dan Clarkston. When we hear accusations of others we need to keep in mind that people (especially religious) often will criticize, apply labels, and falsely accuse and...

Do we think there is no value in there being witnesses then? The bible doesn't seem to agree, as we are all to be witnesses of the truth and of God's grace and our living experience of Him, whether in writing or verbally. And the body of Christ is to build itself up in love...there's no reason...

It is the job of governments to do justice in the sense that you are speaking of, as per Rom 13.....not the church's. God is not pleased with those who don't distinguish/discern/separate between the holy and the profane/common.

No twisting....that is simply what it says. But the spiritually blind can't see/hear what is plainly written. Sure am NOT going to look to the Crusades as an example for me to follow as a believer. Again you need ears to hear what the Spirit is saying regarding the "weightier matters". Law...

I hear what doctrox is saying on the one hand, but I also believe God's wisdom in some situations is the scripture that says we may use the things of this world, as long as that is not what we are placing our reliance/trust in. Healthcare used to be a ministry of care to the sick and injured...

My how the carnal mind likes to twist things. We need ears to hear what the Spirit is saying - which can only come from the Spirit if one has the Spirit. It is saying to expel those from your congregation who are claiming Christ while living a sinful lifestyle. It is not talking about...

1Co 5:9-13 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any...

Amen, I believe so too.....the Lord has foreseen everything and planned ahead for it all. And then alongside that, if so be, there is the "Goshen" in our hearts we can escape to and take refuge in.....He will not abandon His people in time of need.

It certainly means condemnation for those who are outside of Christ, sadly.

That is why one must be IN Christ to be resurrected to life as He was.

Nobody should be looking down their noses at those outside the church, but have compassion for them. We were once as they were, lost and in darkness. I know that some do though and they are in the wrong and immature to have that attitude. But what I think I'm actually "hearing" with your...

Where are Sodom and Edom today? Gone....forever. Destroyed....forever. The hyperbole was in the idea that those places would keep burning forever, but really it was a poetic picture to drive home the point that their destruction would last forever, with no coming back from it.

Scripture holds out no hope of there being further opportunity to be saved in the "next life". When once the Master has arisen and shut to the door there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth of those who are thrust out of the kingdom.....and it says elsewhere that it is appointed unto man but...

Jesus showed us what the restoration will look like at His return – it will be the Lord (His angels) gathering OUT of all creation all who sin and defile it and destroying them with fire (our God is a consuming fire) until only what is pure and holy and undefiled and heavenly remains (everything...

This world is not moving in a good direction and transgression is ripening to the full in order for God to finally judge it. A lot of things that are happening I regard as being His judgment as it is, whether man has a hand in it or not, on a society that has turned away from Him and walked out...

Ah, so you are an evangelist.....that's why your focus is on the starting point.....the milk of the word. Except you need to stop throwing the baby out with the bathwater......because after being established in the first principles of the faith, new believers need to begin to become disciplined...

I think there is a danger of calling the entire new testament of instruction, exhortation and warnings legalistic. Yes, we begin our walk of faith...........but having laid the foundation we are to go on to perfection. So apparently there is a sense in which we aren't "perfect" yet when we...

I look at it that it is our new man that has been made free from sin.............but we are still contending with the old man until it is entirely put under our/Christ's feet. That is the reason for the chastisements of those who God loves as sons...ultimately that we may partake of His...

Yes, there is a time for war....except that our weapons are not carnal....but mighty IN GOD. But don't you worry, there are always plenty of worldly governments and people to make war of the carnal kind.....because the Way to life is narrow and only a few find it.

Forced "conversions" and torture too, from what I understand. That is not the way of Christ. No can come to Jesus by force, it is an act of the Holy Spirit in a soul that is willing.
