Why did Jesus teach all the truths He did (beyond the scriptures and the bibles) if their puny little minds couldn't receive it. Just after He left Jesus sent the Spirit who would lead us into, not just what Jesus taught, but all truth. Remember, we have the mind of Christ when we possess the...

Great to know hey. Glad you're enjoying Jesus's reign now. Many of us are looking forward to His future reign also.

That is awesome hey. Well, for those of us who have responded by faith in Christ's completed work on the cross.

A Again, thanks for your gentle response. Personally I have been asking Father to reveal Who the Holy Spirit is. I'm hoping to be open to His communication. I have many preconceived ideas of Who He is but like many beliefs I've taken on board they have been dispelled and some replaced with...

Thanks for that information. I appreciate it. I guess one documented statement may shed another light. Eph 4:30 grieve the Holy Spirit lupeō loo-peh'-o From G3077; to distress; reflexively or passively to be sad: - cause grief, grieve, be in heaviness, (be) sorrow (-ful), be (make) sorry. A...

After Father sent Jesus to carry out His will on earth, didn't He send His Holy Spirit to continue to carry out His will? And this Spirit goes around collecting new homes to purchase and live in. These are also known as members of the church, the body of Christ.

Yes, and the Head of the body went to heaven to sit on His throne at His Father's right. And from there He sent the Holy Spirit to be His body which includes those in whom He dwells. Isn't the essence of Christ's body His Spirit? Isn't the Holy Spirit like the central nervous system and we...

Just to clarify, when you use the word 'it' to identify Holy Spirit, is the Holy Spirit to you a thing 'it' or a Person 'He'? I noticed you used the word 'his' as well.

Yes, I too have been moved by the Holy Spirit to challenge others to get back to Him. That the Spirit of Christ Jesus has been closed out by the church. He is knocking at its door. As Jesus said, Behold I stand at the door of the church and knock. We have put the Spirit of Christ outside when we...

The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon? Someone may say, Does it really matter at the end of the day? Aren't they just varying quantities of the same substance originating from the same source, that is, the mouth of God? Every member has a different...

Of course the original bible King James commissioned people to compile had 80 books. For some reason some were removed and they ended up with 66.

makes sense. As Koran only is Koran teaching. When did God tell YOU this? Nowhere is this quoted in the bibles. Again, when did God tell YOU this? Nowhere is this quoted in the bibles. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction...

Ye Absolutely. The combination of faith in God and works done unto God = justification. As far as love is concerned, I love God in response to a revelation of His love for me and His creations. He opened the eyes of my understanding so I could see God's acts of love (works) and I acted on...

This is where the Spirit Himself communicates with the individual member of the church for their edification and for the building up of other members. The physical location of where this takes place is irrelevant as the Holy Spirit has made us His mobile home, communicating new revelations...

So when persecuted, and our life is threatened because of our confession of faith, we exercise our faith by our deeds or works. That is, we take the action (according to our existing faith) of confessing boldly our faith in Christ and face the consequences, even death? So God saves us from...

Ok. If we were to agree that God inspired the 66 books of the Canon, do we also agree that God has inspired (breathed out) His words through members of the church over the past 2000 years? That all these make up every word that proceeds from the mouth of God?

By the Spirit of course.

I guess this is where the scriptures and the bibles fail us. For it is God by His Spirit Who make things clear to people. It isn't the bible as it only has extremely limited content, a very small percentage of truths contained in its pages. We who have the Spirit of Truth in us have access to...

Just a quick side question. If the Holy Spirit told you something contrary to Paul's words, not God's words, in the bible, which one will you accept, which would you reject? But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with...
