I question the idea of God giving offices to women generally, since we are not to usurp authority over men. Gifts, yes, but not offices. Women (as well as men) can have gifts of teaching or prophecy or pastoring even in counselling and caring for souls, without having an official status...

Once again with feeling......."What do we have that we didn't RECEIVE"? And "Let he who glories (boasts), glory in the LORD." (not in themselves.) That is why whoever has received a crown will be laying it at the feet of Jesus.

I was trying to point out that the gift of seer is the gift of prophet, not of seeing auras that the woman at your church spoke of....so that does not appear to be based in truth....and what that might mean. I was not not judging you, but I do sometimes wonder at what people consider to be...

I'm still waiting for him to explain how the strong delusion he tells us we are under for believing in foundational doctrines, is associated with the son of perdition being revealed and consumed with Christ's coming. Will he acknowledge the problem there with his belief?

And now curiously, today Episkopos wants to show an atheist mysteries of God........as if anyone can grasp mysteries of God without first receiving Christ and the Holy Spirit..?? It's hard enough for born again believers to receive revelation and begin understanding mysteries of God. Can't run...

False accuser of the brethren, you are incorrigible. You will have to give account for every false word. Have you no fear of God? And just to say what God taught Peter was that the Gentiles could be saved..........through the gospel I might add, not by their own righteousness. They first had...

Christ IN us is the righteousness of God. Christ in us is perfect and holy........our new man is perfect and holy. It is a matter of He being unveiled/revealed/manifested in us. Or expressed another way, that we put on Christ and the new man. We already HAVE him, but need to live through Him...

"For what do we have that we didn't receive (from Him)?" All the glory is to Him, not to us. That is why we will lay our crowns at His feet.

Sister, I don't know about your Christian life and walk, but I found out that a seer in scripture is simply a prophet. It appears that "seer" is a term that was used before the term "prophet" came into useage. So I would be careful of that aura thing. I do agree in general that the devil...

Motives matter. Our motives often need to be purified.....I think pride was/is at the root of the fall, like Lucifer. But yes, deceived by the serpent for sure, and it is the mercy and grace of God that we can learn from our mistakes. I believe Eve was under Adam's covering/protection to some...

I was just pointing out that there are two ditches on either side of the right road....leaven of the Pharisees as well leaven of licentious Herod. I don't know if you agree, but God's word is a spiritual word and needs to be understood in spirit..... "comparing spiritual with spiritual". I...

The Law was "added because of transgression".....because they were sinful and sinning, it was meant to train and discipline the Israelites, to show them what sin is, and to teach them that sin comes with dire consequences, that it leads to death........in order that they would then know their...

Amen. Yes, the pendulum swung too far in the opposite direction....it started out as a kind of overreaction to religious legalism I think and grew worse from there. I don't belong to the greasy grace camp, and nor do I belong in a grace-less camp. I believe the truth lies somewhere in between...

That name is familiar, but I can't remember in connection with what.

I already know what you believe the strong delusion is. I am asking you to square your idea of the strong delusion with the context of where it is spoken of in 2 Thess 2....square it with the son of perdition and return of Christ to judge him.

Why don't you first respond to my post #178 on page 9 of this thread disputing your assertion that a belief in imputed righteousness etc is the strong delusion spoken of in 2 Thess. 2. Are you going to continue asserting that those precious foundations of the gospel are the strong delusion?

All of which proves we need the Lord to give us light/understanding. But I have heard of a few bright people who in trying to disprove Christianity, came to the opposite conclusion....why not read some of their testimonies and reasoning? ( I can't remember any of their names unfortunately, but...

Just want to add that righteousness is imputed to us by default as it were.......because our sins are not being imputed to us, ie, they have been forgiven and forgotten because of our faith in Christ. And that we are seated in heavenly places is a very real thing....it is via our new man...

Praise God for what he did in your life, sister.....His strength made perfect in weakness. And I agree with holiness (in principle at least - different people seem to have different takes and details on it, and I don't feel I understand it entirely yet). But how do we account for the fact that...

I'm not superimposing anything............scripture clearly indicates that this time of longsuffering will come to an end on the day of the Lord when He judges the world and individual souls.
