It is important to also reiterate that the person given the gift of interpretation of tongues doesn't know himself all the languages he is given to interpret. If his natural language is English, then he "hears" the tongue in his mind in English to know the message. I knew of an interpretation...

Oh my! It is a quote of a Psalm from the Old Testament when sins were only covered and not yet taken away by Christ. Chapters 1 through 7 is Paul's extensive teaching about sin and the Old Testament LAW. Romans 6 and Romans 8 are about the difference in the New Covenant where we are dead to sin...

Unfortunately for them, they have never experienced the power of Jesus' Spirit through the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I have. So their itching ears accepts false doctrines that explain what they are experiencing - a lack of power over sin - and change the meaning of scripture to accommodate...

John is not the one in error. Misinterpreting him is the error, which false teachers started, and itching ears lap up. John used a style of contrasts, which westerners cannot understand and fall into gross error. And even when you are shown, you still prefer ignorance. Have it your way. It is...

Believe what you like. It is your life. But, for you to say "covering" instead of "take away" is a sure sign you believe the false teaching, even morphing God's clothing for a covering for Adam and Eve to be sufficient to cover their sin. Wrong. That is comparable only to the blood of bulls and...

Yes, WE must all test ourselves to see if we are of God. It is a teaching. Of course 1 John 1:8-10 is in the Bible, but so is 1 John 1:6 the key to unlocking the truth that 8 and 10 are before conversion. Verse 9 is how to become a Christian. Ever since Adam sinned, we are all born with a sin...

Me too. I do know though that we can't just search for a verse on our own to use against someone, or for healing; it must only be lead by God. The logos must become Rhema, as only then will faith rise to move the mountain. Romans 10:17. 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the...

It is interesting that since that first time God spoke to me through that verse, I've had other enemies, and God will bring that incident back to mind, and I will wonder if He means He will take care of the enemy and get him out of my life, and within a day, that person will be gone. So far...

Right. Nothing changes inside a covenant UNTIL the covenant, itself, ends. The New Covenant will not end anytime before the second coming of Christ. Yet, Cessationists do not believe this most basic of theology. We must be born again, which is being baptized in the Holy Spirit, to be able to...

Yes, that is Psalms 37 the Scripture I turned to when I cried out to God for a "word" (Rhema) from Him.

The Greek meaning of our words can sometimes have more than one meaning, and a different meaning than what we think it implies. For instance, John 15:7. This one will also help you understand 1 John 5:14-15. John 15:7 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you...

"Luck" had nothing to do with it. ;)

I was in a situation where I thought I might lose my job because of my boss. I went to bed and cried out to God and said I needed a Word from him. I opened my Bible to Psalms 37 and read the whole thing. It gave me peace. I went in the next day expecting to be fired, and my boss wasn't there. He...

So you believe it is 1 John 3:9 that must change. Interesting. But there is a simpler answer than corrupting the clear meaning, but you have to know who is writing this, and in this case it is a Jew - John. When you understand Semitic writing styles in advanced studies, you immediately recognize...

I'm curious if you read the rest of the paragraph?

Is the Christian in 1 John 3:9 a sinner? "Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God." Should he say he is a sinner even though he doesn't commit sins of lawlessness against God? God is light, does a Christian walk...

Everything is TO Christians, but not everything is ABOUT Christians. 1 John 1:6, 8 and 10 is actually about 1 John 4:1-3, the Gnostic teaching of the Nicolaitans. Context can be the whole book. 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you...

See, you just committed a trespass against me. But I forgive you. I am going to send you my testimony in two parts.

Sorry, we are still not on the same page, as you are actually describing the righteousness of a Scribe or Pharisee. They kept the letter of the law religiously, and stayed away from "Gentiles." The difference is NOT 1 John 1:9 every time we sin. 1 John 1:9 is how to become a Christian. Acts 2:38...

If you have been converted to where all your past sins have been cleansed, and then given the power of the Holy Spirit to commit no sins against God from then on, you won't be committing sins against God in the present or future. So if you ARE committing sins against God in the present, then you...
