First of all...good post. Jesus doesn't go into great detail when He speaks to us...since we have His words written down already. When He speaks to us it is usually very briefly and only in the situation at hand. So then we need to both listen to the "still small voice" in our hearts AND study...

You are getting carried away here. It is ....the Lord (YHVH) said to my Lord (la-ADONI).

Ah...but that takes discernment. Many will say Lord Lord.....those who we think are teachers today..with famous names. But there is no understanding in them, or wisdom, or fear of the Lord. Many false prophets are the most famous Bible teachers. The depth lies in understand how they are wrong...

See, you don't understand the deeper level that indeed condemnation is from God....not men. Being condemned by men is a good thing. Blessed are you when men hate you for My name's sake. But you are missing an entire dimension of the truth. You are shutting down your ears so that the truth cannot...

You may actually be understanding the purpose of my thread. ;)

Your perceptions is what I was talking about...and your perceptions on a human scale seem to be lacking. Re-read what I actually said.

You think you understand what I'm talking about...ok...Explain how Christian teachers get the greater condemnation if there is no condemnation in Christ. Explain how that Christian teachers are not in Christ. And greater condemnation means that lesser Christians can also receive condemnation...

That is a human premise. You are judging from your own understanding. Jesus came in His Father's name. And we are sent out in the name of Christ. I am called after Christ yet Christ is greater than I am. Many people have God in their name yet they are not God. You have yet to understand eternal...

Amen. The Father sends the Son....Yahweh sends Yahweh. :) The Lord of Hosts (plural) sends the Son who comes in HIS NAME (YHVH). So Yahweh sends Yahweh. One (Jesus) YHVH is the friend of Moses who speaks face to face with him. The other cannot be seen unless death occurs. So then YHVH is a...

Examples... We are not to judge, as in, judge not lest you be judged.....yet we are to judge righteously. (righteous judgment) We are to love our wives.......and.....unless we hate our wives we cannot be disciples. The net as something that catches us into the kingdom....and the net of God...

How to understand the Bible. Well, to be honest one must take in the whole counsel of God. Here is an experiment. Take an extreme view based on one verse or two...now..refute that extreme by finding a verse that seems to contradict it. Do it again and again...until you you have a whole list of...

The term "Almighty" is reserved for the Father. Although "mighty God" can be attributed to Jesus Christ. The Father is the Most High God. Origen (the first Christian theologian) was criticized in later centuries because he saw the GodHead as a hierarchy. So was Eusebius (the first Church...

People tend to confuse being soulish with being spiritual. There us a soulish spirituality that is really not spiritual at all. And then there is a demonic spirituality...worshiping trees and such. Stone age stuff. No, the modern spirituality is soulish...feeling connected to nature, animals...

The devil deceives the whole world. "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth," Rev. 12:9 Jesus said "There goes the devil and he has nothing in Me." "I will no more speak much with you...

It means a life built in the eternal reality of the kingdom of God. We live in a temporal world that is actually only a simulation of reality. We are only here for a short time...to learn how to love and fit into an eternal realm. To abide in Christ means to be where He is...in Zion (in the...

Is the OP really about building a life on Jesus Christ or on the Bible?

Because it is a mystery. What the institutional establishment finally decided on was what gave them control over the assembly. Making the Holy Spirit to be in name only rather than in power contradicts the Bible as to the purpose of the Holy Spirit in the world. Paul preached not only in word...

My faith is apostolic in nature...not based on the traditions of men. I encountered the Lord personally...and was baptized in the Spirit in my bedroom. There is NO church organization that can claim dibs on a direct relationship with the Lord. :) The kingdom of God is not of this world..neither...

Man made religion hates the liberty that is available in Christ. "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." 2 Cor. 3:17

Some of our children (not all) also made a commitment to not kiss until their wedding day. Our youngest son is about to be married to a wonderful lady...and they have made that commitment. They have been engaged now for over a year and are to be married next month. They have known each other for...
