Your error is to see a church structure and organization in the temporal world as something spiritual and eternal. Superstitions abound. And the carnal mind cannot comprehend spiritual things.

The Holy Spirit BRINGS the Most High to us AND takes us to be with Him...WHERE He dwells....in Zion. The Father and Son are distinct Persons...sitting on thrones. 2 thrones not three. The 7 Spirits of God are BEFORE the throne...serving God. Trying to force a "trinitarian" view on the...

Very few understand the purpose of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God is a gateway to the Father. For those who like Star Trek, there is a teleporter on the show that allows people to be scrambled from one place to the next. That teleporter works both ways... you can go FROM the mothership and...

Is a denomination a theological issue or an issue of a carnal religious outer man looking for a favourite scheme for salvation? Is the faith of the apostles a fringe theology? Things to ponder.

A little criticism here. Don't start a thread with a title you are not willing to lay out. It's dishonest to post a title as a solicitation of a self-help publication. To me that is very worldly. I tend to not think much of teachings that need and use a worldly approach towards other believers...

God hears the prayers of the penitent sinner because being repentant IS to be humanly righteous. God only hears the righteous. Repentance is a condition of salvation. Repentance is an act of righteousness. Look at the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican. The Publican was justified as being...

And more nonsense. God doesn't have blood. You are tripping yourself up in trying to support Jesus being divine so much you are denying Jesus' humanity. Jesus IS BOTH fully God And fully man. You obviously can't reconcile this duality...as VERY FEW are honest enough to consider. Any sense of...

God listens to fervent prayers and those who are persistent and have a just cause. He hears the prayers of the righteous. "The LORD is far from the wicked: but he hears the prayer of the righteous." Prov. 15:29 "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be...

You are not on the scent. :) My position is that there are TWO distinct persons in the GodHead...whereas your attempts to label what I'm saying only make God have one person. Be careful when falsely representing someone. I don't know at this point if you are being dishonest ...or is it just a...

You are forgetting that you are not the Lord...nor do you speak for Him. You rail against anyone that crosses your religious outer man and the opinions held by that part of you. Religious fanaticism does not speak the truth in love. I see neither truth nor love in your posturings as I'm sure...

People like binary arguments...because it is easy to pick one side and ignore the other. The Bible is full of "both-ands" which puts the carnal mind at a severe disadvantage. The carnal mind gravitates to one pole in any given polarity. That's how we know what is carnal and what is coming from...

Or maybe surrendering one's carnal nature to be dealt with by the cross...dogmatic beliefs notwithstanding?

Which one is the Most High? Which is greater and which is lesser? What does the Bible say? Many people also believe that there is no ranking among people in the kingdom. But it is very clear that there are those who are great in the kingdom and those who are least. Everything in the universe...

I consider myself to be a spiritual Christian...unaffected by man-made doctrinal statements that boil down mysteries to something that is easy to memorize and repeat. As such I see the Trinity theory to be man-made...a way of trying to understand something spiritual in layman terms. I think it...

This could work if God wasn't Himself a Spirit. Go IS Spirit. God is not just outside of this world...He is present in His Spirit. We each have our own spirit...which is part of us...not a separate person. God also has a Spirit...called the Spirit of God. For your scheme to work there would have...

Do people believe in the greatness of the Father or not? Is God the Father not omnipresent and all-powerful by Himself...and not in need of a separate Holy Spirit to help Him in His deficiencies? God IS Spirit. He places His Spirit within those who are His. And the "not by might nor by power"...

"But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against." Acts 28:22 T.S.E.S.A. There is nothing that is more unpopular than the truth.

Not created...but begotten. Ps. 2:7 "I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee." Heb. 5:5 "So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee." The...

T.S.E.S.A. (This sect that is everywhere spoken against.) IOW Christ-followers.

The understanding you lack is how grace works. "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." Heb. 4:16 If there are some who require oil for their lamps...where are they going to go? They need to go to the throne of...
