Tom, I stated that the Holy Spirit will not contradict what the Bible says. Therefore, if anyone who preaches something contradictory to the Bible, it isn't the Holy Spirit guiding them. Its a pretty solid answer. Whatever what if scenerio you throw at me... The answer is still the same...

Galatian 5 talks about walking in the spirit while 2 cor 5:7 talks about walking by faith not by sight. Question is whether they (walking by faith and walking by the spirit) are the same thing. Perhaps they aren't but when you walk by one, you at the same time walk by/in the other. In any...

Quick answer: live by the truth, for the Holy Spirit is the spirit of truth.

Now i attacked you? Whatever...

That is still a what if scenerio Tom. Call it whatever you like but it doesn't change what it is. Furthermore, you took portions of my statement and used those fragments in your own what if scenerio. That doesn't make it my words. Pretty low.... Third, i could answer your question easily...

I have no idea what you are even taljing about, Tom. What words did I use that even remotely resemble your comparing martin luther to whatever it was.... Where did i talk about baptism? I actually agreed with you in sayin the Holy Spirit can come to a Catholic Priest. I just also noted...

Those are what if scenerios. Usin the term "lets say.." is the same thing as what if. Don't care about martin luther either. Again, the bottom line is....

I'm not going to play the "what if" games. Bottom line: If you or your minister contradict the Bible, it isn't the Holy Spirit.

Cops are human. The profession is the same as any other... There are good ones and bad ones. But there is a bizarre mentality out there in our streets. It seems (I may be wrong) that people are committing crimes, being confronted by cops and all of a sudden its showtime: all the cell phone...

I'd like to backtrack to keep proper context. Someone asked who teaches the true gospel. H. Richard said the Holy Spirit and you responded as noted above. I absolutely agree that it comes by the Holy Spirit through men. Yes, in the Bible it has come directly to men (some of them were not...

Fair enough Richard. While I appreciate the vote of confidence, I don't consider myself an apostle. Not because of whether I am worthy or not; but because I haven't received that particular calling. In any sense, I am humbled and happy with where God has placed me now.

I can agree with your overall point (that they aren't above others in the eyes of God) and that goes right along with what 1 cor 12 is sayng. What I'm merely pointing out is that we all aren't apostles.

Of course Paul doesn't say that there is a class above other people. But this chapter does say that the body is one body of many members, and not all members are the same. The eye is not the nose, the hand is not the foot, etc... He also says that there are different administrations and...

Ok, I'll start. I would like your thoughts on these verses: 1 Corinthians 12:28 KJV And God hath SOME in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 1 Corinthians 12:29 KJV Are all...

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

H. Richard, I have no doubt you have a verse to back up your claim that Paul wasn't unique and that we all have the same revelation and gift he had. So let me know what that verse is. It seems to me that Paul said we don't all have the same gifts in 1 cor 12. Yes, the Holy Spirit does...

Tom55, I understand H. Richard's point and it is valid in an overall view. But I must agree with you. Paul spent alot of time in his writing outlining a very simple structure for Church leadership. In fact you paraphrased Paul from Eph 6 or 1 cor 12 (sounds closer to the latter). I will...

Kepha, That is a very interesting take on the scriptures. 1. Again, if you read the first 2 chapters of Galatians in its entirety you should realize that Paul was not complimenting Peter, James or anyone else. He said they had a reputation and seemed to be pillars. He also said it didn't...

I'd like to introduce something new to this topic. I looked through the thread, and couldn't find anyone bringing this up. In Acts 21-23 Paul is Jerusalem and is seized. Have a look at this verse: Acts 23:11 KJV And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul...

Are you addressing me? I said God talked politics.... Meaning the OT. Jesus addressed politics when asked about taxes (render unto Caesar.. ) and Jesus paid taxes.Told Peter to go fishing and get the coin.... Paul and maybe Peter addressed politics too. The said obey magistrates. Why? So...
