    Divine Hiddenness

    That's a blatant lie. A person is lost because they are lost...not because they hate. The hate is from yourself.

    That's religious hyperbole.

    Upping the ante

    Which brings us to the title of the OP....God has upped the ante. How? Here is an example of grace strengthening our weakness.... It would being given the task of digging a hole and making this a law. Upping the ante is like a person who is too weak to dig a (lawful) hole with a shovel by his...

    Upping the ante

    This is good...it's going the right way. As it says in Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 7 says... 7 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath...

    Upping the ante

    Hey brother Scott. :) The age of the law has not passed as long as mankind lives in this present age. Remember that the verse in question (Gal. 2:19) says...THROUGH the law I am dead to the law so that I might live to God. So then if we abolish the law then we can't enter into Christ...as I...

    Divine Hiddenness

    By paying attention. Can a person learn anything by paying attention?

    Divine Hiddenness

    My sheep know My voice. Are you a loving kind of person? Can recognize pure love?

    Divine Hiddenness

    You could pray and then expect an answer...but in an unexpected way. A way you will have to be watching for. Watch and pray.

    Divine Hiddenness

    The word that goes to your heart. The living word. The word that comes to you from God. Man shall not live by bread alone but by everything that comes from the mouth of God.

    Divine Hiddenness

    Faith comes by hearing...the truth just sinks deeply into your soul so that you recognize your Creator.

    Get to know our neighbor

    Doesn't belonging to Christ make you part of His church? When people ask my of my affiliation I say ...heaven. When people ask me how many people are in our church I say millions. We aren't to measure things by the way they appear to mortal eyes.

    Divine Hiddenness

    Are you judging God? Can the created one complain about the One who created Him? Would God honour such a person with His presence?

    Can a Christian have a demon?

    I have found, in ministry (no name Jesus ministry), that it the truth that overcomes the lies that bring people into bondage. The ones who keep getting entangled in bondage are the ones who haven't yet grasped the truth....and the life in God it is describing. Some people are unbalanced or...

    Divine Hiddenness

    But an atheist can still spot a religious bigot. That's something a religious person can't understand...otherwise they would be loving type of people.

    Can a Christian have a demon?

    Hi Helen! :) When I think of a deliverance ministry I think of UPS, or Purolater. The problem with these buzzwords is that they become a world unto themselves and others seek to emulate what has originally been of the Lord and pump it up into the religious culture. We see this in many 'winds" of...

    Upping the ante

    Who understands this passage?.... Gal. 2:19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. Through what law? (Paul is quite confusing with all his references to law without being specific about what he's talking about) And what does this have to do with....the soul...

    Divine Hiddenness

    Please pardon the religious condescension displayed here. Some people have been misguided in their self-importance.

    Divine Hiddenness

    But you are looking for an encounter with God correct not just a generic belief in a Creator? But God decides these things. Blessed is he who believes and yet has not seen...or encountered. For most people they must meet God through His people. As in...inasmuch as you did it to the least of...

    Getting Grace Right

    Sure. But some people are just naturally more humble than others....because they don't take themselves so seriously. Unfortunately, most believers get quickly indoctrinated into thinking they are God's special emissary to earth...so they get puffed up in their carnal minds. It makes for a lot of...

    Can a Christian have a demon?

    The battlefield is the mind. If we believe a lie...it gives ground to the devil to use us in his way. The truth always sets us free....because the truth so so difficult and heavy that it puts the mind below it. A lie puffs up the mind.
