Amen. What the church lacks today is godly judgment...or in Greek...Krisis. The reasoning is...if we can't discern what is of the Spirit and what isn't let us eliminate anything spiritual. This is the process I call "pastorisation" whereby the pastor stops anything spiritual thus being safe...

You must then suppose yourself to be an agnostic in this area. You can't prove anything either way. So then humility would say..."I have not yet experienced this myself." There is no reason to disbelieve the biblical accounts are for us today...based on a lack of personal experience.

Your premise here is flawed. In the bible, the Holy Spirit speaks to people outwardly as well as inwardly. He still does that. what people lack today is spiritual experience, spiritual understanding and spiritual life. The bible testifies to these...not replaces them. So then it behooves those...

It is important to see that the truth...and all things eternal concerning us, are happening in 2 places at once. Jesus died in this world...but he also offered Himself as a sacrifice in heaven. Both of these things took place at the same time. Hebrews 9:12 He did not enter by means of the blood...

We have to believe TO Jesus to have eternal life. How do you know you have believed To Jesus? Well the fire comes down...you are translated into the kingdom by grace.

There is more than one kind of error in the above statement. 1. The righteousness of faith is NOT the same as the righteousness of God. 2. Imputing means to attribute. God can attribute righteousness to us by our faith....but it is OUR faith and OUR righteousness we are talking about here...

Most people will speak of being directed by the Spirit...like hearing a still small voice from within. This is quite common. This is being led by the Spirit...whereby we check in with God from time to time. What is far less common is to actually walk in the dimension of the Spirit where one...

There is a moment by moment walk in the keeping power of God.

Yes to all! :)

I am against any kind of organized religion in the name of Jesus. I believe in a close relational friendship with God and His people. Keep it simple and real... :) No need for titles and religious shows. Episkopos: At that time I was doing a major study about oversight in the church...

Say...the immaculate conception of Mary. Infant baptism. Transubstantiation. Statues. Sacraments. Hierarchies. Also bringing in the roman pontiff teaching which is pagan (there were always pontiffs to the gods in ancient Rome). Also the primacy of Rome. Praying to (and for ) the dead. Praying to...

The name Palestine was given to the land by the British...in a way to antagonize the Jews...since they were allied to the Arab nations. The name comes from Philistia...or the land of the Philistines. This is unacceptable to the Jews for obvious reasons. But the name "Judea" I think would be...

This bizarre statement is so indicative of an indoctrination in a man-made framework like Dispensationalism. The gospel of Christ is for all people. It is quite amazing to think that a good percentage of Western Christians don't see that. And they have opened themselves up for damnation in...

Here is a fine example of revival in Israel in the last book of the Hebrew bible...leading up to the arrival of Jesus on the scene. 2 Chr.15 And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded: 2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin...

I think I did respond to your thread and how they are quite different from each other. They are "Chata-ah", "Pesha" and "Avon". Of the 3 it is the sin of iniquity which we must be most aware of. This is the sin of religious hypocrites.

We need the law to be able to isolate the causes of sin. This kind of law is like a light to the truth. It is by the word. Without the law we wouldn't know that sin exists in the world. But the law of sin has entered into mankind through the chain reaction of Adam 's sin followed by an...

The RCC has always played to the innocence of people. It wanted to keep people sheltered from evil. It is the church of a simplistic notion that keeps everything simple and simplistic. It's great for kids. But the world "grew up" so to speak. And in more ways than one. The Devil knows his time...

From your perspective that's all you can possibly think. But to be a good teacher one must first be a good student. A person who is unteachable ....is never a good teacher. I have to assume here that you are not a student of the bible. Col. 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching...

Have you heard of the 2nd Vatican council? The RCC was only catching up with the competition proposed by the reformation...where people could read the bible for themselves. That was in the 1960's. The printing press was perfected in 1440. So there was a clerical memo error in the RCC for 500...

You live in a tree? I hope you have stored enough chestnuts for winter. :)
