    What is Mystery Babylon?

    You deny the Holy Spirit and the authority of God to try pushing a human agenda based on a misreading...or a non-reading ...of the bible. A common scheme to deny the faith. (You can google that) People need to avoid the unbelief that you espouse. The Headship of Christ is testified to in the...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Why do you post such nonsense? “Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.” Jer. 6:16 Is this about tea? Are you not being described...

    Pressing into the Kingdom

    Again, more projecting unto me what you are doing yourself. Working out your own salvation is not...working out "for yourself" your own salvation. You have left off the need of faith. You have left off the need to seek God's face for the full measure of grace. You have left off selling all to...

    Pressing into the Kingdom

    I appreciate that... :) That's some compliment...to think I came up with a divine plan to include both the holy and the righteous into a new age of peace and joy in the Lord. I must have come up with the two testaments...the two main laws...the lower of which is called the "royal law". But...

    Pressing into the Kingdom

    Thank you for your honesty. It's a rare thing these days. People would rather hide their unbelief behind religiousities and speculative ideologies that deflect their need for an actual faith in God. Of course faith is hard...We've seen too much of this world and not enough of the next...

    Are there prophets today?

    There's that spirit of fear again.

    What is your notion of Christian exclusivity?

    That's because the paths are eternal. Olam. Netivot olam "eternal paths". God has always been holy. And He has always been righteous. We, for the most part have been neither of these. That's why we need to discover God and His ways.

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    A yes...the spirit of fear. Why be afraid of people? We are to fear the Lord and only Him. Afraid of false teachers lurking behind every rock....around every corner. Afraid to trust God, afraid of being afraid. Selling the gospel for no price. Freely I received and I freely give.

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    It's me! That's my name. During Covid I was constrained to write a book...which I never thought I would do...since, how do you know when there is enough on any given point. But the Lord directed me and helped me to get through the endeavour. (I think I burned out twice from the effort ;)) But...

    Pressing into the Kingdom

    "To behold the beauty of the Lord" We are to seek the Lord for His presence and strength...because we have learned to love His ways and the depth of His love around us. "One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    How do we know we are in a carnal vanity loop in our minds? How do we know the bible is speaking about us when it rebukes the vanity we settle for? By what is absent... Humility, the fear of the Lord, a repentant heart. As long as we think we can benefit from God's goodness, we are bound to...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Hey Nancy. Yes, The truth can sound strange to our ears now. The Old Paths seem to be novel once again. Blessings sister. :)

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    This remind me of when Peter experienced the mount of transfiguration his first impulse was to build some tabernacles to go along with it. The rebuke of God was immediate. We are to hear the Lord not try building something for Him. It's too bad that being so not in touch with God's ways, we have...

    What Does Christian Maturity Look Like? - "... solid food is for the mature..." - Heb. 5:14

    Great thread...and so important. 1) What is the measure of maturity? Selfless love. Disinterested benevolence. Willingness to suffer and be hated for the sake of the truth. Constant joy and peace no matter the trial. Maintaining the fruit of the Spirit through tribulation. 2) What are the...

    What is your notion of Christian exclusivity?

    Hey...I suppose the ancient paths can appear to be fresh in a renewed way. The truth is dynamic...and cannot be boiled down to a creed like a box to be checked off. The holy walk was there in the garden of Eden. Adam before the fall. And the righteous walk began with Abel. But the ancient paths...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    I'm adding this comment from a contributor on another site. House Church Concerns In recent years I have become almost as concerned with the "House Church Movement" as I have with the Institutional Church. There is this prevalent belief, misconception, that simply moving meetings from a...

    What is your notion of Christian exclusivity?

    Greetings O'Darby, welcome here! :) People will generally take one aspect of the truth in order to cancel all others out. (That's how we get all the "isms' that champion one truth over another). There is an aspect of exclusivity...in holiness. That's what the New Covenant is about...holiness...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Rather than pursue a spiritual fellowship among brethren (see episode #26 - "the Fellowship of the Mystery") we have largely opted for an artificial religious order based on creeds and algorithms in a bid for conformity rather than true unity. God has resisted this scheme by giving us over to...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    "For the time will come (And now is) when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." 2 Tim 4:3,4

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    While you offer me your bottle for the perceived "dire need" to drink milk...I'm more concerned with the condition of your diaper. :ummm:
