When you have a conversation with God, listening is 90% of it.

No, only those who repent. Repentance has to do with the Holy Spirit. I was baptized THREE times, the last in 73, but in 77 I finally truly repented and received the Holy Spirit and He gave me many gifts, and one was hearing God's voice. It was then after I had been freed from sin that God spoke...

Bob, I went to church for 30 years BEFORE receiving the Holy Spirit inside me. Not everyone who calls themselves a Christian is Spirit-filled.

The apostles had the Holy Spirit literally inside of them in their mind and in their conscience. It makes us be able to hear God's voice and understand the truth. If you doubt they were holy, remember even their shadow healed people. I know when God speaks to me, but it is forthtelling, not...

None of the apostles tooted their own horn. John didn't either in his gospel. By the way, Bob, do you now see that part of the miracle of the Holy Spirit falling on the Day of Pentecost was also HEARING, and well as SPEAKING?

Yes, forbidding yourself from speaking in tongues is breaking a commandment of the Lord.

37 If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord. 38 But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant. 39 Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues...

I just said the same. Looks like great minds..... :waves:

And don't forget, Peter called Paul's writings Scripture. I think those were the letters to the congregations. So those letters were inspired, but even in them Paul says,, himself, as I showed you in 1 Cor. 7, that not all sections were. Paul knew what was inspired for the church and the New...

I think when he was writting to a congregations and instructing them, he listened. I know when I am writing even on these forums God will guide my thoughts and I'll learn something new as I'm writing. But not always, and the same with Paul. That is just part of the Office of Teacher. And He had...

When Paul was writing letters, did He know what was inspired, and what was not? Yes. He would tell us. But writing to his son in the faith, Timothy? You can tell what is bad culturally that Timothy should not allow. At the time ignorant women could not be asking their husbands questions and...

That is awful. I know it is bad. No one teaches freedom from sin. No one teaches Jesus destroyed the work of the devil in us. That means Satan cannot influence a born again Christian, and that is true. In fact I belong to three Christian forum sites, and one of them is owned by a Calvinist. If...

Don't forget who was in control in Jerusalem. The Romans. They were Gentiles, and the gospel was not being sent to them yet.

The devil is a liar. God tells the truth. Ever since I was filled with the Spirit 46 years ago I learned right away I could hear His voice, and He taught me to only pray His will. So I did and I have received 100% of my prayers. I just quote what He tells me to pray. And there are many miracles...

We will only have the righteous and holy humans and angels there with God. No more sin. Revelation 22:11 Jesus takes away all our sin out of our nature that Satan put there. 1 John 3:8-9 Jesus defeats the devil, and those born of God cannot sin. This is righteousness. Jesus prunes the fruit of...

Only things he says that I know are false. For instance in the Garden of Eden, they didn't know they were naked when Eve believed Satan. She didn't sin intentionally against God, but wanted to be like Him. She had never known what evil was, and Satan was committing the very first sin. Her sin...

Two Covenants. The Old Covenant, The Ten Commandments Exodus 34:28, (ministry of death) was for those in the flesh. IOW for those with a sin nature. The New Covenant is of the Spirit, (ministry of the Spirit) for those who are NOT in the flesh, but in the Spirit. We are NOT in the sin nature...

I mull it over and over and try to figure it out. The Day of Pentecost was one of them because I was writing my book on tongues. I couldn't figure out why 1 Corinthians 14:2 said that man could not understand tongues when the Jews on the Day of Pentecost could. So I prayed. (the first gift I...
