    The Mystery of Iniquity

    It depends if you are seeing with natural eyes or by the Spirit. In the natural...the Jews, for example, always try to eliminate the prophetic word to something that is already past...not realizing that things happen over again and again as a pattern....a spiritual pattern. Unbelievers are...

    The Mystery of Iniquity

    What is important to understand is that the man of lawlessness cannot appear until the fullness of iniquity is reached in the church. There are spiritual forces at work...that have been building up momentum since the beginning of the heavenly rebellion.

    The Mystery of Iniquity

    1 Cor. 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, 8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear...

    The Mystery of Iniquity

    His books..."the Subversion of Christianity" and "the Presence of the Kingdom"...are classics. I think all spiritual believers should read these. He follows up his "presence" book..with "the FALSE presence of the kingdom." Very deep stuff...and very much in keeping with the OP. Some people...

    How does God lead?

    So this is your basis for ignoring the bible...even though you say it is the culmination of perfection....and replaces the work of the Spirit.

    The Mystery of Iniquity

    Good video. It describes the rise of Mammon...whereby all things can be bought and sold (including birthrights). Some very good points. Have you ever read Jacques Ellul? He gets in depth into how society usurped the ways of God and how the evil powers hide themselves in our way of life.

    How does God lead?

    No...haven't heard of them. All I know is that I was called of God the way described in the bible. I was baptized in light from Zion.

    How does God lead?

    But the revelation is a prophecy of the future. In a very strange understanding you are taking the New Testament is only good until John wrote the book of Revelation and not the actual fulfillment? Truly bizarre!

    How Are Sinners Made

    Not all posts are meant to be responded to. Some are just meant to make you think. :rolleyes:

    The Mystery of Iniquity

    Amen. So then iniquity is the flesh and it's power posing or acting like the Spirit...or instead of the Spirit. The natural man is an actor...doing what he thinks he needs to do in order to survive. Unless that man becomes a living sacrifice by the power of the cross...the flesh will try to...

    The Mystery of Iniquity

    ...which is an alternative to the life giving truth. The very fact that this is an easy option guarantees that many will be led astray in the mystery of what is evil in God's sight. It appeals to the carnal nature of men. The devil seems also to be able to short-circuit many believers who...

    How Are Sinners Made

    Sin entered into the world through Adam giving up his spiritual position to Satan by being tricked out of it through disobedience to God...and consequently many angels who also partook of this opportunity for conquest of God's new creation. The angels who came down to have dominion over...

    The Mystery of Iniquity

    This is an interesting angle to pursue. Why was Abraham sent away from Ur? Does it realte to God's call for His people to come out of Babylon? And what is Babylon (Babel)? It is when men come together religiously to make a name for themselves. So then it is the denominations...called...

    The Mystery of Iniquity

    The mystery of iniquity is closely related to the lack of real spiritual growth in the church over many years. Once the depth of the truth has been successfully suppressed for a long while....even the idea of sound doctrine seems strange. Iniquity is mixing spiritual things with carnal things...

    Hebrew has no Vowels?

    Hebrew is a world apart from other languages. By the 2 "H's" you are referring to the 2 "heys". The Hebrew Hey means "behold"...as in something that is presented. The Hebrew Youd means "hand" The Hebrew Vav means "nail" or tent peg. So then the formula for the name of God can be..."a hand...

    Dead In Christ

    The old you is dead with Christ for they who believe. This is but a first step (where many believers remain) But there remains the moment by moment walk whereby we carry the dying of Jesus in the outward natural man in order to let the life from the inner man come to the surface and be lived out.

    The Point Of Stephen's Speech?

    Stephen spoke by the Spirit to convict the elders of the Jews to repent from their rebelliousness. But they rather stiffened their necks...just as Stephen prophesied that they would.

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    You would have to understand what "means" means...to see the difference. Christianity is a "means".

    Personal Revelation

    perfect love casts out all fear. We are to know God and the power of His resurrection...in REAL experience. You need to go where the scriptures are pointing you...into the arms of God Himself.
