It has been said that for every mile of road there are 2 miles of ditch (one ditch on either side of the road) But in truth those ditches are more like vast fields. The road is the elevated road of holiness. Isaiah 35:8-9 8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The...

Or just other members who are connected to the Spirit....of course under the oversight of the overseer. :)

The church should encourage body life in connection with God. What needs to be nurtured is that we are members one of another. There is no ministry that can replace one's own connection to God. Jesus is the only Mediator. The head of every man is Christ. This is not to confuse the truth that...

In fact a lot of believers fall into traps meant to train God's people. God allows this since nothing can stop the true faithful ones in any regard. But unless one remains humble and in the fear of the Lord...that trap could become a permanent thing in the believer's life. Going from life in...

A New Testament prophet is not quite like an OT one. There is no exclusivity for one thing. Many people receive revelation from God...so then church should be open to allow freedom of expression in the assembly. Since there is no exclusivity...other members who also received revelation can...

Both vengeance and justice are of the Lord. The difference is that at times justice (which can bring about either a good or bad result) brings a reward from the Lord...but vengeance not so much.

The bible speaks with both a literal imagery (so we can apply our potential for an elevated sense of reason to it) AND a prophetic or spiritual dimension (so that God may enlighten our reasoning capacity)...otherwise the bible is just one more history book written with a slant towards those who...

Luke 4:12 But Jesus declared, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

What I see is a dismissal of verses that contradict a person's position. Look at how often the fear of the Lord is cited as crucial for salvation...yet who takes any notice? It's not as if the evidence isn't there. It's the indoctrination that makes the bible a book that one can pick and...

How can I but bear witness to the eternal truth that is witnessed both in the words of the bible and in the life of Jesus that comes from His resurrection life by the Spirit? Those are my witnesses...and also they to whom is revealed the power of the gospel. God reveals Himself to those who seek...

The words sound the same but they have opposite meanings. It's like the same words but in a different order...the dog wags his tail...or the tail wags the dog.....sort of thing. H. Richard says that overcoming sin by the Spirit is an effort of the flesh...but NOT overcoming sin in the flesh is...

The result of walking according to the flesh is that you will sin. It is when you walk according to the Spirit that you have victory over sin. Paul says we are to put to death the deeds of the flesh by the Spirit...if we want to live. Rom. 8:13 For if you live according to the flesh you will...

Nobody has the power to never sin within ourselves. But within Christ ALL things are possible...especially the victory over sin. So your argument is a smokescreen that is trying to cover up a lack of faith in Christ. It is only as we abide in Jesus that we take on His victorious walk...the...

Jesus destroyed the power of sin in Himself by taking it to the cross with Him....so that we can partake of His victory by abiding in Him. In Him is no sin.

Please take no offense when I say that I used to believe that this was true. I used to think that God wanted intimacy with me more than anything in the world and I was convinced that the most important thing for me was intimacy with Him. I believed it with all my heart. While God does look for...

Is a woman who is pregnant outwardly, inwardly responsible for the child she is carrying? Or... is she not responsible for the well-being of the child in her womb? I would think that we both agree that she is responsible. Can we agree that we are indeed responsible for our actions in the body...

Sometimes it's the little dogs with their keen senses that can sniff out what others can't yet discern. (and no I'm still not calling anyone a dog) ;)

The truth only hurts the part of people that resists the truth. If the purpose of truth is meant to set us free then we must see bondage as something that no longer brings us comfort.

When trying to save a drowning man you must wait until they stop trying to save their own lives. They will try to bring you down with them. When they stop kicking and struggling THEN you can help them and bring them safely to shore. So then a person who tries to help someone out of error will...

There you are! :) Thanks for the honesty at last. I prefer your insults to your fake love. That attitude you are displaying now (with your contrived false accusations) was always there...hiding in plain sight...at least to me. Before this you hid your real impulses with the fluff I was trying...
