    What is the importance of this prophecy

    He doesn't have to prove anything. It is you who is prosecuting the Mariology stuff, and therefore you have to prove it. All you have done so far is to insert your addition to the Scripture. When Mary said that her soul exults in God, nothing is said about her soul being immaculate. That is...

    250 Rockets fired into Israel 5-11-2021

    If you look into the history of the region, it was never originally called Palestine. The name was given by the occupying powers. It was always Israel, and the land that God gave to the children of Israel was partitioned by the British who agreed that the Jews could return to the land, but...

    250 Rockets fired into Israel 5-11-2021

    All Hamas has to do is to stop firing the rockets and it would all stop. Hamas doesn't care about their on innocent civilians who are just wanted to get on with life just like everyone else. Hamas' hatred for Israel overrules care for innocent civilians. They started it by firing the rockets...

    Does anyone here post on ChristianForums.Net?

    I've been active on there, and found no problems with it. Yes, it does seem slow at times because there are not a lot of people active at one time. Then I am in a different time zone than most in the US, so that could be a reason. But I tend to be controversial in my posts and that seems to...

    I think the article clarifies what you are saying. You will see that it says that "some critics of Mormonism..."etc. The reality is that because we can only see many things about the nature of God through the wrong end of the telescope, we can only make educated guesses about the nature of...

    Did Charismatic movement injure Church?

    Here is a bit of useful information from Wikipedia: "Tritheism (from Greek τριθεΐα, "three divinity"[1]) is a nontrinitarian Christian heresy in which the unity of the Trinity and thus monotheism are denied. It represents more a "possible deviation" than any actual school of thought positing...

    I had a bit of a chuckle with the Lord after that. Just shows how memory can play tricks.

    OK. I'm probably crossing my wires with the JWs.

    Did Charismatic movement injure Church?

    It pains me...:D But I might have to concede. "For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God [proclaiming the Father’s own message]; for God gives the [gift of the] Spirit without measure [generously and boundlessly]!" (John3:34). I have incorrectly assumed that it is Jesus who received the...

    Did Charismatic movement injure Church?

    The sense of the Philippians reference is that although Jesus became human, He remained God. The Scripture says that He was God in the flesh. He did not stop being God, but for our sakes, He laid aside the privileges of His divinity and became as a man. The Scripture says that He received...

    So you are in unity with the Mormons who believe the same heresy.

    Did Charismatic movement injure Church?

    That is because God knew that your heart was right with Him and that you were observing the Lord's death from your heart. It would be just the same for a genuine believer taking part in the Eucharist in a Catholic Mass.

    Did Charismatic movement injure Church?

    That's reasonable. The problem is how it appeared to many and how they interpreted the action. I have three issues with it though: 1. They gave the appearance of evil. 2. They used the technique of naming and claiming. 3. They used a loud repetitious incantation, in spite of Jesus...

    Did Charismatic movement injure Church?

    What you have described is the old heresy of Nestorianism which separated the humanity of Jesus from the divine. It also is similar to Deism which believes that Jesus was merely a man and not God. Both of these heresies were rejected by the established Christian church.

    Did Charismatic movement injure Church?

    Often an utterance in tongues in church is an intercession for the prophetic word to be released. The interpretation is the fulfillment of the intercession. Also, it can also release a series of prophetic words that can have a dynamic effect on the assembled group of believers. I have seen...

    Did Charismatic movement injure Church?

    Praying over a sick person is not the same as claiming healing for him. You prayed for the man and he got healed. That's not fake. It was Jesus showing compassion as the result of your prayer. It is an example of "the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much". I have...

    Did Charismatic movement injure Church?

    If you are correct, then quote Johnson where he preaches the Gospel of Christ that concentrates on faith in the finished work of Christ on the Cross. Paul's definition of an apostle is one who preaches the Gospel of Christ and who validates the preaching with signs and wonders following. It is...

    Did Charismatic movement injure Church?

    Oh come on! It was nothing like Moses' staff. It was a direct copy of Gandalf's and the pagan rant comes right out of the pages of Leo Tolstoy's book and from the mouth of a pagan character. It was exactly the type of useless repetition that Jesus spoke about when He said to avoid the...

    Here is the video clip: I have started to read Calvin's commentary on 1 Corinthians 14. He says something interesting about the first chapter. He says that although there were all sorts of things going wrong in the Corinthian church, Paul still speaks of the church in positive terms, because...
