    The Wonders of the kingdom of God.

    Thank you Amadeus for bringing back an encouraging word that is without fears of devils. I'm hoping this thread won't be taken over by negativity and people with too much demonic experience and fears. Perfect love casts out all fears. And love believes the best...that all things are possible in...

    The Wonders of the kingdom of God.

    This is just fear and ignorance on your part. You should say that this is not the experience of modern believers...who are mainly the product of the modern churches who teach modern doctrine. Where is the faith that enters into the Spirit? Are you afraid of the word..."Spirit." ??? Do you have...

    I have no wrath

    What is actual nonsense is what you are trying to "teach". You take a verse out of context and then write in all your ideas into it...that have no bearing on anything except what is religiously comforting to you. When corrected you just obfuscate and continue down the same road.

    The Wonders of the kingdom of God.

    ...or comparing religious things with religious things??? What is taught in modern churches is that you only enter into the kingdom after you die. Believing that means very few will seek the Lord in order to walk as they did in the early church. But one has always had to be a kind of...

    I have no wrath

    Nice try..I suppose. You think you found a key "positive" sounding verse that eliminates all other verses in the bible that make you uncomfortable? But you are missing the point...again. Wrath is not in God...God puts on His wrath like a garment the way a man of war puts on his sword. After the...

    How to Break Free From Sin and Be Cleansed?

    Yet without the overcoming law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. In a day where airplanes routinely fly across the sky one wonders how the early believers could believe into a power that let them "fly" as eagles OVER the power of sin in this world and in these bodies...and yet we don't...

    The Wonders of the kingdom of God.

    There is a perceivable danger when going from a theory about God into the actual experience of God in reality. People who are used to human beliefs rather than a supernatural faith tend towards the fear of the unknown. But Jesus Christ has overcome the world. Luke 12:31 Fear not, little...

    How to Break Free From Sin and Be Cleansed?

    All that to say that mankind is no better off now than before Jesus came to earth..o_O

    To encourage towards Christ

    Actually you are speaking backwards. First...you thinking you are somehow special will get you into a lot of trouble. Didn't the Pharisees think they were special too? More special than the ones Jesus was ministering to? But Jesus didn't think so. By doing so you are forsaking humility and the...

    To encourage towards Christ

    How many things do you want to get wrong? ;) Your attitude is not one that is conducive to learn anything beyond the human interpretation arguments you seem to think important. You would have to be instructed methodically away from what you have learned through that kind of reasoning. The bible...

    Purpose Of Jude

    Yes. One then needs to just be sure that the authority is by anointing of the Spirit and not just the selection of men. But there are many who will not submit to anyone....thinking of themselves as the equal of any or all men. This goes against the admonition to esteem others as higher than...

    Religious Facade Christianity

    Why just 5? ;) What I see is that we aren't listening to the teachings of Jesus. We are trying to build on shaky ground...rather than on obedience to God. So then 1. We don't honour obedience to God enough 2. We have exchanged a biblical supernatural faith with a human belief system. 3. We...

    To encourage towards Christ

    This is an interpretation that is really just saying...whatever you think you have...you have! A name it and claim it mentality. A peace and safety mentality. But in truth we must be vetted by God to go deeper into His promises. God has standards that must be met in righteousness and truth...

    Religious Facade Christianity

    Yes, There was no divine nature in anyone in the OT. That's why Jesus said that even the least in the kingdom of God was greater than the greatest among the sons of men...ie ..John the Baptist. But people have reduced what is means to be born again and walk in divine power and love. So many...

    Purpose Of Jude

    Jude devotes his entire letter to the presence of they whom the Lord will reject and who are perfectly happy within the church setting at this present time. As in..not all who say Lord, Lord. They rejoice in the Lord as the other brethren do. So we ought to not be high minded but fear. Let us...

    The Wonders of the kingdom of God.

    All the ways of God are to us as a double edged sword. It cuts both ways. The truth is like a wheel within a wheel. What seems to be on the outside is not the same on the inside. Like the roots and branches of a tree. Hence the contradictory messages in the bible. It is about knowing where to...

    The Wonders of the kingdom of God.

    Meaning that God is present everywhere. No need to belong to a specific group. Hence God remains the initiator of relationship.

    The Wonders of the kingdom of God.

    Yes...and even Saul prophesied so that people said...is Saul also among the prophets?"

    The Wonders of the kingdom of God.

    How much grace/faith does it take to be translated into God's heavenly place in Zion so as to be in the light as He is in the light? What is the amount of consecration (of course always 100% surrender) and seeking that affords a walk in the spiritual realm of the kingdom? Only God knows. He...

    Any thoughts on this??

    I think a lot of emphasis is put on a physical rapture...an "easy out" (hence it's popularity) away from the problems of this world...and a way out of the coming tribulation. But the bible speaks of rapture as more than just a physical translating away. It is mainly a spiritual reference. A...
