Yes. But what is your point? Stranger

I never said it would make you special. But it does show that you and the Psalmist are not in agreement with the Word of God. Stranger

Who is saying the Holy Spirit is not active when you read the Bible? No one. Who says you learn knowledge of the Bible without the Holy Spirit? No one I know. Yes, the Holy Spirit has moved upon your heart to confirm in your soul, the things God has said in the Bible. Both are required...

You are there enough to have a correct view of Scripture. I do not take care when an incorrect view of Scripture is presented. I am comfortable in my relationship to God to say that. Have you ever read (Ps. 119)? Stranger

My parents were required to sign my report card. Why? They were in authority over me. No such signature was required by Christ of the Roman Church. Why? Because they had no authority over the individual churches. Like they wished they had. Like they stole. Stanger

If you come to the single mindedness that Jesus lived you would have His view of Scripture, which you and others appear not to have. (Matt. 4:4,7,10) (Matt. 5:18) Stranger

One slight correction. Jesus is the 'last Adam'. Never the '2nd Adam'. It is a common error but needs to be corrected. Stranger

Well, I am not wrong about the dog. Dogs don't think. They react. And an abused dog or conditioned dog will act accordingly. Dogs don't make a choice, they react as they are programmed. We as humans made in the image of God are a higher order of beings. But we are not immune to our...

Hey, if the pope or the Roman church doesn't need to be mentioned, then they don't need to be mentioned. And the individual churches don't need to mention them or recognize them. Bottom line...Rome has no authority except over it's own local Roman church. The risen Christ didn't recognize...

Jesus knew the Scriptures and used the Scriptures and chastised those who did not know them. Studying and understanding the written Word does not take away from ones desire to know God. It enhances it. We can know God only to the degree in which He reveals Himself. If one wants to know God...

I may well have been sarcastic concerning that. As there are those who believe that studying the Bible is akin to being a Pharisee. And they do see themselves as 'spiritual' as opposed to the others who study the Scriptures as 'Pharisees'. I am saying that is wrong. Just because the...

Why double minded? Recognizing the importance of both the Spirit and the written Word is not being double minded. Both are equally important through every stage of the believers growth. Stranger

I am not aware of the misunderstandings you speak of. Stranger

I am on the forum for the same reason you are. To talk, debate, discuss, argue about things in the Christian life. Stranger

My point is that because the Risen Jesus Christ addressed the churches individually show that the only authority over them is God and Jesus Christ. Not Rome and not the pope. You will note that in (Acts 13:1-4) God was already working through the chain of command and protocol. "As they...

Do you mean if I need to believe in the resurrection to be saved? When one comes to Christ he has probably heard of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. And that is all part of the package. But, let's say one didn't hear about the resurrection. He only heard of Christ's...

A Christian is one who recognizes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and Saviour and he comes to Him as his Lord and Saviour. He is then born-again by the Spirit of God. Stranger

And pleasure speaking with you. I don't believe you were ever an enemy of God. Lost, yes. Enemy, probably not. I appreciate your words and will take them to heart. Stranger

I was too young to know why the dog, 'shorty' was tied. Probably because he was mean from the beginning. Being tied also probably made him meaner. But, true story again: Years ago I was looking for a house in the country. My wife and first born was with me in the Ozarks. We went to...
