Well, just like with your example with you and your husband, you are aware that for some reason you saw it and he didn't. In your fellowship you can at times see this on a larger scale. Many may not see something you do in someone or some teaching. They see all that is presented on the...

Do you read Christian biographies? I remember one I read many years ago. It was the auto-biography of Madame Guyon. I googled it and it is still available. Stranger

I don't know what state you live in. If you live in the North, I'm not sure the Fire Ants can survive the winters. I believe they got here on a ship from South America in the 70's or 80's. Most city dwellers here would disagree with me as they hate the fire ants. But they don't remember...

But you can find some early 'Christians' who claimed a lot of other books were inspired. In fact, that was one of the reasons a true Canon of Scripture had to be determined. Many were making their own canon. Do you consider all of those Scripture also? If not, why not? How do you...

I know you're not. I am asking why not? If abortion and infanticide are the reasons you want to include the book of Barnabas as inspired and consider it Scripture, why shouldn't you reject the portions of Scripture that show God as responsible for the same? You have made yourself the one who...

Ill take the fire ants any day. Just like with your experience with the ticks, years ago I was doing some construction work and went and laid a bunch of tools underneath a porch that jutted out over a hill. I came back a few minutes later and I thought I laid them in an ant bed. You could't...

Yes, prior to the fall, and even after the fall there was no meat eating. God changed man's diet several times. In the garden it was of the fruit of the trees. (Gen. 1:29) After the fall, added to that was the herb of the field. (Gen. 3:18) It wasn't till after the flood that man was given...

Ticks used to be terrible here. Praise God for the fire ants. They just about eradicated them. Stranger

I have never had one stomp at me. When they are startled or sense danger they will make a type of snort that sounds more like a wheeze. You may have heard it before in the woods and not known what it was. I think it also serves the purpose of warning other deer that man is in the woods...

Yes I recall Paul's conversion. Good to hear of your conversion at 25. Good verses you gave in (1 Tim. 4:1-2) But what has any of this to do with what I asked? Stranger

All I can say is His ways are not our ways. And it is His ways that will be done. And His ways at present is to let evil have it's day. We don't have to like it, but we must come to grips with it. We must get an 'eternal eyesight'. Don't just see the immediate, look beyond it to the...

If your fellowship does not hold to the gifts of the Spirit, then it will be difficult for you to find out, but not impossible. They will still be prone to give credence to what it is God is doing through you though they may be unwilling to call it a gift. I will say this, it will be...

Corruption in our governmental and legal systems are hard to bear. But, the less our country is Christian, which is the direction it is going, the more you will see and experience it. It will eventually culminate in physical persecution and death. satan knows the power he can exercise...

All believers have a certain discernment due to their having the Holy Spirit. But others are given that special gift of discernment of spirits. I cannot tell which you have, as I said earlier, it would be necessary for your fellowship to observe and make that decision. But, make no mistake...

Yes, I agree. And the 'gift' of discernment of spirits is necessary because demonic activity doesn't always come into your fellowship preaching wrong doctrine. He may well come in preaching what is true and accepted. (Acts 16:16-18) It is an important gift. The one who has it probably is...

That's 'right'. And I will own those words. I certainly don't want to be an 'accomplice' with your words. Who told you that you had the gift of discernment of spirits? Stranger

I didn't say anything about 'rights'. I said the post was not to you and you went out of your way to be rude using Scripture to support your rudeness. Of course you have a 'right' to comment on any post. And you have a 'right' to be rude. Which you exercised. Says you? Do you think any...

Yes, you always will grow in suffering. Comparison is the worst thing a Christian can ever do. Either with other Christians or non-believers. We don't compare because we are individually important to God and Christ. Your walk, your suffering, your salvation is meaningful to Him in a way...

She wasn't talking to you. Yet you go out of your way to be rude and use Scripture to support it. And who are you to discern who has 'spiritual discernment'? Stranger
