This remind me of when Peter experienced the mount of transfiguration his first impulse was to build some tabernacles to go along with it. The rebuke of God was immediate. We are to hear the Lord not try building something for Him. It's too bad that being so not in touch with God's ways, we have...

Great thread...and so important. 1) What is the measure of maturity? Selfless love. Disinterested benevolence. Willingness to suffer and be hated for the sake of the truth. Constant joy and peace no matter the trial. Maintaining the fruit of the Spirit through tribulation. 2) What are the...

Hey...I suppose the ancient paths can appear to be fresh in a renewed way. The truth is dynamic...and cannot be boiled down to a creed like a box to be checked off. The holy walk was there in the garden of Eden. Adam before the fall. And the righteous walk began with Abel. But the ancient paths...

I'm adding this comment from a contributor on another site. House Church Concerns In recent years I have become almost as concerned with the "House Church Movement" as I have with the Institutional Church. There is this prevalent belief, misconception, that simply moving meetings from a...

Greetings O'Darby, welcome here! :) People will generally take one aspect of the truth in order to cancel all others out. (That's how we get all the "isms' that champion one truth over another). There is an aspect of exclusivity...in holiness. That's what the New Covenant is about...holiness...

Rather than pursue a spiritual fellowship among brethren (see episode #26 - "the Fellowship of the Mystery") we have largely opted for an artificial religious order based on creeds and algorithms in a bid for conformity rather than true unity. God has resisted this scheme by giving us over to...

"For the time will come (And now is) when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." 2 Tim 4:3,4

While you offer me your bottle for the perceived "dire need" to drink milk...I'm more concerned with the condition of your diaper. :ummm:

Which sentence from the bible have you read?

Repent from your religious posturing. Have you read the bible yet?

More brilliance here :( o_O So then dogmatically, we can add to your beliefs. "Catholics bad. Protestants good." A lot of discernment there. But you don't realize that by judging others with that dogmatic mind...you condemn yourself. :ummm::rolleyes::ummm:

You have been a beginner for so long, you think the only growth possible in a believer must be cancer. So then you are missing the whole purpose of being a Christian. God is NOT dogmatic...people are. The Pharisees were like that. You are like that. Judging from yourself and a lack of depth...a...

AI? Disingenuous? The irony doesn't stop. Speaking of Ai...the limit of understanding shown by some could be programmed into a very simple program...AI not even required. All you would have to write in are two requirements...human religious ideology 101. It would read as... 1. Believe in...

We get into trouble when we try relating deeper spiritual things to things we already know and understand. So then we can think we understand the biblical text...whereby we limit what is written to our own experiences. But the bible is not as shallow as we are...neither is it limited to what we...

Hello and greetings. :) Do you mean we need to want a different world...the kingdom realm of the Spirit? Don't mind the nursery antics on the thread. Some people do want to grow beyond the baby stage despite what some posters insist on. ;) "The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet...

There is indeed a dire need for babies to be breast-fed. Maybe more milk is needed for babies to stop crying?

We are preserved by hope. This is not to be confused with wishful thinking. A biblical hope is a living hope...not a dead presumption. Biblical faith knows God...it isn't a human belief based on a religious opinion that lines up perfectly with a self-preservation. But this is beyond the ability...

This is a strawman. Hope is for a future inheritance. Faith is what we live by now. We enter into the kingdom realm by faith not by hope. We inherit by hope. Without FAITH it is impossible to please God. It doesn't say without hope. But people don't enter in because they lack faith. Unbelief...

O, the irony.

How can you seek for something that you have no access to now? You have to think this through. God wants us to seek for His kingdom right NOW so we can bear an eternal fruit...right now. To make the kingdom a future only event is to MISS THE GOSPEL. Do we follow Christ only after we die? Do we...
