Actually I meant...the natural man gets in the way of the inner man BECOMING spiritual in Christ. Did James not say...out of the same mouth blessings AND cursings...this ought not to be? People are a jumble of inward and outward motivations...till they get sorted out. How many people are...

IOW in your world Christ is only someone that is talked about in the bible. This is a very sad testimony. Too many modern "believers" have no testimony of Christ. It would be better to say...I have no experience of Christ as compared with the testimony in the bible. If Jesus had not called me...

Word.

The natural man is the greatest enemy we will ever face. Why and how is that? The devil can't get to us through the inner man directly. We are with Christ in the inner man (if we are truly the Lord's). But we can be fooled into putting some level of confidence in the outward man. If we don't...

It is a common ploy to divide up the biblical text when people don't like what they read. Either we take all the gifts and functions as being of the same Spirit and purpose....the spiritual edification of the church.... ...or .....we must reject all the gifts and functions together as the...

There were 15 steps that led into the temple in Jerusalem. There were also 15 psalms (Ps. 120-134) called "the psalms of ascent" and these would be ascended one by one to the singing of the appropriate psalm. This was to symbolize the steps to maturity of a saint. If we look at the content...

Grace is the power to keep the law without human effort. It is the power of a new life in Christ whereby we do things from the love of God...because we desire this more than anything. It is a change of nature. The irony of it all is that when we focus on the law...we fail at both the...

Shem means name... The Gentiles also add to the number of Shem....as God seeks for a people of all nations to bear His "name". Acts 15:14 Simeon has related how God first visited to take out of the Gentiles a people for His name.

This is not Israel you are referring to. Abraham means "father of many nations." Not just one nation. This is before Israel was born. We trace the history of the physical representation of that covenant through a physical circumcision. But there is far more to God's eternal covenant than what...

People come in different ethnicities. I believe that God created people with different characteristics and this from the beginning. The southern people were dark skinned. The northern people were light skinned. The eastern people were yellow tinged...with the Asian features we know of today. The...

There are false prophets to be sure. But you are relegating all prophets to evil? Jesus was a prophet....as were many of His followers. Why be negative to the things of God?

Angels can take human form. Some have visited us at times. Abraham entertained angels...as did Lot. They are more powerful than we are. The corruption of the earth came about by angels infiltrating on earth "illegally." The sin of Adam opened the door to this "invasion" of rebellious...

Adam was first indeed. But there were people in the earth apart from Eden.

Jesus said..where 2 or 3 are gathered IN My Name there I am in their midst. IN His name means in His place and authority. So this is referring to prophets who are living in the Spirit. So then it could say...Where 2 or 3 prophets are gathered....there I am. If we want God's presence in the...

It is a sin to marry one's sibling. That theory doesn't work. No...there were other people on earth...God created humans BOTH male and female. When God was looking for a suitable mate for Adam in the earth...He was not looking for plants or animals. God was looking for a suitable woman for...

Again I used to think this. But read Genesis 6 carefully. The angels who rebelled brought down their dominion over humanity...and in all phases of life. If you see sexuality in the rebellion against God...then demons must have infiltrated there too. There is no outward human thought or deed that...

The bible does not replace spiritual life...it promotes it. There were many prophets spoken of in the NT...as they were very common in those days. There was Agabus...but also the elders in Antioch who were "prophets and teachers." Paul traveled with prophets. Silas was a prophet. And it was...

I believe we need prophets more than ever. Never has there been so many errors (the isms) in the church that need correcting. There is such a lack of spiritual life....and a prophet calls people INTO THAT LIFE. It is no wonder that so many churches do not abide prophets and their difficult...

Knowing God Himself is much better than knowing things about Him.

I have come to see that the "sons" of God are indeed angels. A son in Hebrew is not always someone in the family. It can be a follower. For example...B'nai b'rith...Means... "sons of the covenant". B'nai chorin...means free men...sons of freedom. So then "sons of God" can mean followers...
