I don't think so, amadeus, unless I'm reading this passage all wrong. Heb 4:12-13 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the...

Ok. mjr. I'll cut you some slack and admit that the OT Prophets and Jesus Himself were vocal and expressive about the degeneracy of Israel, the writers of the NT sought to correct numerous errors and warned about false brethren, deception, and apostacy, and Christianity still offers the same...

That's cleared that up. If in doubt check their profile.

Don't be absurd. Mat 16:18 And I say also unto you, That you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Sorry, what's your problem, mjr?

Aha. So you're in Kansas. Thought you could hide forever...

Cool vibe you have running there, April. Well done! It's been 2021 for nearly 16 hours where I am communicating from. Last night my wife cooked the most delicious roast lamb dinner we have ever tasted, and the small portion of pavlova, cream, fruit yoghurt, and 2 little Ernest Adams Christmas...

Hi Amos Ministries, As you have it, the purpose of the gifts of the Spirit in their manifestation is not to prove something about ourselves as individuals but to be helpful in promoting the spiritual growth of the whole body of Christ. Spiritual Gifts …6There are different ways of working, but...

Hi Matt, I notice you do not provide Scriptural support for your view. As mentioned in Ezekiel 28:15, Lucifer wasn't created evil, so I would rephrase the sentence "the creation of Lucifer was a necessary evil" to "the entrance of evil into Creation was inevitable". Strange that anyone would...

Hi K9Buck, Fruit There are a number of guidelines we should follow when applying Scripture. The context of a verse or passage is always something to be given close attention to. In the verse you quote the context is being aware of false prophets, who of course are not really prophets at all...

But not everyone accepts.

I'm choosing not to repent of my belief that some people choose not to repent when given the opportunity.

Whenever people try to pass off the woman in Revelation 12 as the ekklesia or body of Christ they do so recklessly and mangle the Scriptures in the process. Prior to its metaphorical marriage to the Lamb, the body of Christ is described as a virginal bride, and it is absurd to suggest the bride...

Hi Barney, As you may be aware, this cross-reference to Israel in her origins is unmistakable. Gen 37:9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. (plus...

Hi WaterSong, It is not Lucifer as such who is cast down by Michael and his angels in Rev 12. As the divine lightbearer, Lucifer had a legitimate place in the Divine Heaven until he acted in rebellion against God and became Satan, the Adversary, the Opposer referred to as the Devil, the Dragon...

Hi April Rose. There is a branch of Biblical Theology known as Satanology, which simply means the study of Satan. As you may know the name Satan means "adversary" which is defined as a person, group, or force that opposes. Firstly, God always knows everything that is knowable so He has always...

If that were the case, Christophany, no-one would come to faith in Christ, and there would be no difference between the natural man and the spiritual man. 1 Cor 2:14 But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them...

Hi Christophany. For your attention by way of refutation: 1Co 2:9-16 But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him. (10) But God has revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the...

Hi again Heart2Soul, Sorry for the delay in responding to you but I've only just had time to return to this thread. Yes, I have done quite a bit of research on this subject. I should have indicated it was original but unless the material is my own I always state my sources. Some folk are not...

Illogical to say the least. Turning away from sin is implicit if turning to God is the action. Keep up the good work, justbyfaith.
