1 Corinthians 5:5 Hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord. If people falling over dead was counted as spiritual development I don't suppose Christianity would win many converts.

If someone pointing to the cross all day is a problem for you that is revealing. Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad

God's foreknowledge allows him to know all things, even before they happen. Isaiah 46:10 Matthew 6:8

All of human history could be divided as being before or after Pentecost. Which is the moment delineating when people could be born of the Spirit. This is when people could become sons or daughters of God. As for John the Baptist I number him with the old testament saints. Jesus did go to...

I believe Jesus was speaking of John from the context of the present moment before Pentecost. It may also be that by qualifying with "born of women" Jesus was already considering those born of the Spirit when he said this.

Back to the subject. Jesus said no one born of women was greater than John the Baptist, but the least in the Kingdom of heaven is greater than he. If we are looking at relationships with God I would have to say John the Baptist qualified as a friend of God or more back then. Even though he...

If the present delusion is 5.0 what were the previous versions?

The Law was given that those with a carnal mind could know they sin without themselves having the mind of God. Having the Spirit of God to conform us to the mind of God we should be able to avoid sinning without even knowing the Law.

Assuming that you know the Kingdom of Heaven is within. Because by the Spirit of God we are made brothers and Sisters.

I would need to see more data, to know if all these deaths can be attributed to known causes. Such as COVID, and it's so called vaccines, or the lockdowns and drug abuse. Not that there is any source reliable enough to get or study that correlation. But assuming we could tell the full impact...

Unnatural affection comes from a reprobate mind. God hands us over to it when we forget about him and worship the creation over the creator. Let us think of this from a higher position than ground level. What I see behind this is a spirit that is mocking God. Saying to God look at your...

Gal 5:19-21 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy,[a] drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those...

To be clear I have not seen spirits with my eyes. My belief in the nature of this gift is mainly from what I've heard about it from others. The gift is commonly used in deliverance ministries to determine what demon is affecting someone, if any. In order to prevent it from coming back...

IMO Spiritual discernment more specifically refers to the ability to see spirits, be they angels or demons. While this subject may have more to do with wisdom, but is perhaps influenced by spiritual discernment to some degree. Especially if we are recalling how they manifested. Yes, it does...

I'm glad IXL learning has clarified that one for the ages. But there are differences in practice and I've little respect for secular definitions. The way I understand it a pastor is like a shepherd who leads a flock. It is a hands on ministry. The preacher role is more general and does not...

As a Christian expect to be the target of irrational hatred. John 15:17-19 17This is My command to you: Love one another. 18If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. 19If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of...

I am interested in the motivations behind Proselytism, or seeking converts to your religion or belief. And I am not only speaking in the positive sense, but also the negative. Such as in Matthew 23:15. Let's put the cart before the horse and speak to the proper motivations, instead of actual...

The UK has universal healthcare, and the NHS is the name for that service, funded by taxpayers. NHS Foundation Trusts are issued provider licenses. These require NHS trusts to comply with conditions set by the NHS. If the hospital doesn't want to lose government funding they must comply...

Good question, should we consider government entities like a town? Brushing off the feet is a testament against the town. Or maybe the individuals of it who by a majority rejected you. I tend to think more poorly of groups than of individuals. Because the synergy of evil between evil...

Well, if it were an individual I would agree. But it is a government entity with no soul to win, or conscience to sear with guilt.
