    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    The point is you contradict yourself, saying about a prophet "if their predictions didn't come true, they are just liars", but you believe Him anyway by faith, after I sighted 3 seemingly unfulfilled prophecies stated by Jesus. But that is just one thing. You are making similar mistakes on...

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    You are only digging deeper and deeper again: How then do your reconcile Jesus' claim of those standing with Him seeing "Him coming in the clouds"; or Him coming "soon"; or that all that He described "must shortly come to pass?"

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    Why should I answer you when you have already drawn your own conclusion. Since you are predetermined not to believe, I shall not answer you.

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    Not seeing, does not qualify you to make the claims you have made, nor justify your "beliefs."

    Best only speak for yourself.

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    Good test--for Israel--maybe. But no, not for Sodom (spiritually Jerusalem), for then it was too late. To the contrary, we are to test every spirit, and take warning--for in spite of all that is false, God has also included what is true--which was to continue as it began with Peter receiving...

    Spiritually called Sodom and Egypt?

    Those devils might just as well have sighted a contradiction of referring to Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God ("Is He then a lamb--a baby sheep?"). But no, God has rather revealed His hand, His method, or code of speaking in parables. Which the blind simply do not perceive.

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    Matthew, You are a nice guy, and I don't mean to judge or be overly repetitious, yet repetition is quite biblical, so I have asked you to clarify. The reason for doing so, is that you have--just in this one thread alone--done a whole lot of preaching based mostly on what you merely "believe."...

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    So...you believe there are no foreshadowings or prophecies of things to come in the scriptures--and it's all just a book of historical events pertaining only to those times?

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    So...does that mean you do NOT include yourself in "I have been crucified with Christ" (Galatians 2:20)?

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    You fight so, and only admit to a little. More of what I said and is written is also true--and right on topic. Why do you turn a blind eye to it? You might as well join the serpent in questioning, "Has God indeed said?" I am not "self-proclaimed", but I have given you more of what I am than you...

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    That is you preaching against the gifts of the Holy Spirit ("some prophets" etc), the foretold prophecies of "He who restrains" being taken out of the way, and the finish of the mystery of God when the seventh angel is about to sound. Not merely what I "believe", but what is written. There...

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    Why then do you take up the sword and wield it so? Is this not the very abuse of authority that this thread is about? Do you not know there will be consequences?
  14. ScottA

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    So, then...you believe that we are now living "on earth as it is in heaven" and "where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal?" Do you not realize that the hole you are digging...is getting deeper and deeper?

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    So, what, you do not believe what is written by Daniel that was sealed till the time of the end, or what John wrote regarding the sealed and unfinished mystery of God being revealed not until just before the end when the seventh angel is about to sound?

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    And what if there are scriptures that were written to us and even personally about us directly? Do you not believe that what God has done before He will do again, and that He never changes?
  17. ScottA

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    Yes, and yet the specific error I see here in this thread, is the assumption that if WE have been saved WE are also finished as Christ who finished His work on the cross. But indeed, if we still have breath and are of the body of Christ--if He is in us and we in Him, then He and WE together as...

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    The title of the thread is a question--which you did indeed ask ("you asked for it"). As for you seeing--you will.
  19. ScottA

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    You asked for this. You have made a case seemingly against perhaps any Christ-given authority since "it is finished"--which is true of the payment, but not of every generation. If YOU yourself are finished--fine. But there are babes born everyday that have yet to hear and know the good of what...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Thank you. The issue that I was responding to was of greater scope than the "all have been sent to do ministry stuff as the Lord leads"--which I only did to confront an attempt to school me in an area specifically given to me and not to the one attempting to school me.
