God's ways are NOT our ways. We can agree with that statement and still miss the truth of it. We have actually fully ignored God's warnings and instructions to build the church the way we see fit. Our standards of success are NOT God's. What we esteem as good, God sees as abomination. Our ways...

Edification is to the inner man. The problem with the modern church is that it is focused, not on the inner man...but on the natural man. The inner man remains weak, naked and blind. The teachings of the modern church are meant to be understood by the natural man...at the expense of the inner...

Why has Christianity been so degenerated and subverted in our time? Progress. Humans have this need to progress, be successful, improve efficiency....in short men seek more and more. Men seek power. There is nothing more successful than a popular myth...a myth that makes no demands on...

We live in perilous times. The bible has never had more readers....yet with the explosion of bible sales...there has not been a corresponding explosion of faith in God. In fact, the trend is quite the other way. With more bibles has come less faith. What has taken root and increased instead is a...

We have arrived at the time where church people no longer receive sound doctrine. What I am teaching is exactly biblical...it is Christianity...just not what passes for Christianity these days....which has strayed away from it's apostolic foundations to cater to the carnal religious man. The...

We are expected to move into maturity bearing fruit. We don't measure ourselves....we grow and grow. Look at 2 Peter and what we are to add (by maturity) to what God has given us. We are still the ones bearing fruit or not. Otherwise, there would be no need of judgment from God. But we know...

See what I mean? You are doing the circle again. It was expected.

Practically speaking...how do you recognize and act upon Christ being the "head" in an assembly? No leadership? Allowing the Spirit to lead? How?

Very good comment Amadeus. OK Now we are talking about the tabernacle which is in heaven. I do think it corresponds to our own hearts in that we are called to abide in Christ AS WELL AS Christ abiding in us. This bears some thinking.... What causes a jar to float in the water? That it is...

I rebuke you as a false accuser Mat. 10:8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give. As a servant of the nefarious one...you would not want your house to be divided...

What is the difference between a human heart and that of an animal?

is there anyone to actually respond to the OP? :)

Do you call what you do discussion? It is accusation of the brethren...something only for the evil among us. Satan is the accuser of the brethren. You have no love...and you accuse. Some people can see who you are...but many are unable to see that far.

Jesus is not like a guru. Jesus commands us to raise the dead. (Of course not the fable of Jesus you espouse....but the real Jesus) To you the real Jesus is too hard to comprehend. Too miraculous. Too fantastic. So you limit your Jesus to your own imagination. You can do nothing...so you...

i prefer no devil's advocate on the thread. there's enough of this evil in the world. I ask you then to butt out. You have no knowledge to speak of but to add in silliness.

You are the one that defended a lack of apostolicity in our practice in the first place....using your type of circular reasoning. So then we have to start at the OP again... in a circle. What makes something apostolic?

Just say you can't see or don't understand instead of offering a pathetic opinion that does nothing. Don't be like an unbeliever that gets in the way of the advancement of others.

We are to raise the dead.

You would never worship a god who expected something from you. You would call that a "works" god. So you make up an easy god instead. But the truth is that you do find God hard...otherwise you wouldn't need to turn aside to fables.

There you go...can you lie? Like a sidewalk...
