The whole Bible is the Word of God in that contained in its pages is everything that God wants mankind to know about Himself, His ways, and His instructions to us that leads to our salvation. Some people define the Word of God as God's direct instructions to us, so they take a verse out of the...

Sound exegesis of Scripture involves the cultural and environmental background, who wrote it, when and why he wrote it, and who were the ones the Scripture was directed to. There are Scriptures that were written for us, and others that were written to us. Sound exegesis helps us determine...

The Scripture says that by their fruit we will know them. Therefore, a person who is called to be a teacher in the body of Christ will show fruit that is consistent with the calling. A bad tree will bear bad fruit and a good tree will bear good fruit. Therefore a false teacher will bear...

As a point of information, the children of Israel were not content with the manna that was provided and begged for meat. God gave them the meat in the form of a great flock of quail, on which the people gorged. But along with the quail, there came a disease which wiped a lot of the people out...

I get a twinge of sadness when I look at her picture. She was a lovely cat and the only one I really grieved over when we found her deceased.

He was the last of the original real traditional Pentecostals who knew the power of the Holy Spirit first hand. He knew Smith Wigglesworth and Howard Carter personally. When we view his meetings, we never see the falling down, jerking, and other uncontrolled fleshly stuff in his meetings. We...

I am currently watching Lester Sumrall's video set on the gifts of the Spirit. Very challenging and heart warming!

Kenny Copeland, the walking, talking joke, does it out of his mouth every time he preaches!

I know we disagree on some points. That's what making our discussions fun. :-) Being rich isn't sinful, but putting the quest for wealth before Christ is. There are many churches that are blessed by the wealthy people in it and their generosity is always appreciated. Being rich and a good...

Dreams are fun, but I never try to interpret them to get some sort of message from God. I do cover myself with the blood of Jesus against nightmares that are claustaphobic and have me crying out and struggling to wake up. Some recurring dreams: Driving a car when the brakes don't work, or...

Peter was a successful fisherman, as well as James, John and their father. They wouldn't have been short of a few shekels. Matthew was a tax collector, he, like Zacchaeus would have had a good income. Mary, Martha and Lazarus were not poor. They provided accommodation on many occasions for...

Interesting! The plot thickens...

Our dearly departed 17-1/2 year old Daisy. I have her face on a coffee mug with a caption: "Keep your paws off my mug!"

I have vivid dreams at times - just like really being there. Sometimes a dream will involve someone I know, and that prompts me to pray for them. Others, when I wake up I say to the Lord, "That was a weird one! I wonder what that was all about?" But then I watch a lot of videos, movies, and...

Not correct. It is talking of the physical human body which will be dissolved and we will be given a new glorified body. The reason why Jesus told the rich young ruler was not because he was rich, but his heart was in his riches and was a barrier to being able to follow Jesus. Jesus had a...

There is quite a difference between hooking out random verses of Scripture to prove a point, and making comments consistent with what Scripture actually says about a doctrinal issue.

Reminds me of my youngest brother playing chess. When it seemed like he was going to lose he had an "accident" and upset the table and chessboard! :-)

Exactly. I think the same is in the U.S., but here in New Zealand, each ballot paper has a serial number which is issued when the name of the person is checked off the Electoral Roll for the particular electorate (or maybe county in your case). We get postal ballots for local body elections...

I doubt that there would be any point. You seem to be so infused with the prosperity doctrine that any Scripture I quote will be contested. So keep listening to Kenny, Creflo, Joel and Joyce and be happy!

The Early church in the first century AD was at it most powerful of all time. Our present church has not been able to get back to that level of power. Even the great revivals were temporary and fell short of the mighty power of the Holy Spirit that was evident in the Christianising of the...
