Of I don't. But I go by Philippians 4:6-7. "Be not anxious for anything, but by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God, and the peace of God that passes all understanding will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." But when I am praying for someone, I...

I know what's up! The sky, clouds. an airplane going overhead.... And at 10am, I'm up!! :D

The truth is that every genuinely converted person has the Holy Spirit and has the potential to manifest any of the gifts of the Spirit as the Holy Spirit directs. We have to remember that the gifts of the Spirit belong to the Spirit Himself, and they are available to build up and strengthen...

That's a good one. I love it! A man with a sense of humour! :p:p:p

I should have said that the office of priest as a human mediator between man and God is not found in the New Testament, but is an invention of the RCC and was carried over to the Church of England when it broke away and became Reformed. But when the Church of Scotland (Presbyterian) broke away...

Great!

One must grow a sense of humour to distinguish when I am being serious and when I am not.

That could be true.

That's not it at all. I just can't be bothered debating with people who don't believe 1 Corinthians 14, and would rather not have it in their Bible, and who have been brainwashed by their Cessationist mentors and therefore read the chapter the way they want to rather than just accepting what is...

I don't think she is saying she is sinlessly perfect at all. But I think, if I am not mistaken, she tends toward the Arminian side of things, probably the Wesleyan flavour of it, such as the Nazarene Church teaches it - that a person can be entirely sanctified by faith, which as sinless...

I hate to split hairs... Jesus did say to the disciples that He had a body of flesh and bones and not flesh and blood, and so saying "not of God's Word" isn't strictly right if one takes the literal text as it reads. But unless any of the disciples actually took His pulse, we don't know for...

The Holy Spirit does say to us at times, "Hey, wait a minute! Look more closely at the wording of the verse."

:) It just took it from what Jesus literally said about His resurrected body, where He said that he had a body of flesh and bones. Usually we would say that we are flesh and blood. But I could be wrong of course, and your thinking is logical and fair enough.

That is called irony! :cool:

I know that I can be quite opinionated at times which promotes some spirited responses and some acrimonious ones too. But I try to form my opinions on what I saw in the literal text of the Bible. I really appreciate your kind comment and it encourages me no end.

There is a big wall in heaven separating the group who have not sinned since they received Christ, from the rest of us sinners when we get to heaven, because the group who are behind the wall will think they are the only ones there!

I reckon that not many forum member will get the virus, because we tend to isolate ourselves in front of our computers for lengthy periods and have minimal contact with others, and as long as other sticky fingers don't use our keyboards, we are safe!

The function of a priest is not found anywhere in the New Testament. Every genuine believer has God, in the Person of the Holy Spirit, living right inside of him, so why in thunder would we need a human priest? Is the human priest better than the Holy Spirit whom Jesus said would teach us all...

Our developmental sanctification involves being progressively transformed into the image of Christ which will finally be completed when we see the Lord face to face and are changed from mortality into immortality.

Now that is interesting, because Hebrews 9:12 says that "by His blood He entered in once into the holy place", and not with His blood. This shows that the teaching that Jesus took His blood into the heavenly holy of holies is an error made through a misreading of the Hebrews Scripture and a...
