There are many who don't believe God speaks to His people today or does anything that can be called miraculous. They are known as cessationists. They are judging by their own limited experience and often avoiding miraculous things out of fear of being deceived. Though I don't even think of...

Of course it is by faith.....hearing and recognizing His voice is by faith. I haven't read every post and don't know everything that Karl believes, but so far I haven't seen where he thinks we are lost if we don't hear God's voice audibly. So far what he is writing comes across to me as an...

Sometimes in everyday things when we are in a quandary the Lord is kind to help us out. Like we normally may not need to ask the Lord what to eat for dinner that night. Unless we're out of food altogether, as was the case with the Israelites. And me in recent times I sometimes just run out of...

Actually it happens that I heard from the Lord "audibly" the first time He spoke to me to give me an instruction and direction soon after believing. But not since then that I can remember, possibly one other time. And I think it was in my ear inwardly. I am not sure if anyone else had been...

That many people erroneously think they are hearing from God when they are not, is not a reason to throw out the concept of hearing from God. The devil is always working overtime trying to discredit the true things of God...and even we are tested this way by God to see whether we will believe...

We are sometimes like the Pharisees who diligently searched the scriptures to learn "about" God, but refuse to come TO Him. He is actually alive and not just words on a page. We can have a living relationship with Him! But I believe He may speak to different people in different...

Amen, and we can see how often the Lord spoke to Moses, for example. And notice how Moses said he wouldn't go without the Lord going before him - we might examine ourselves to see how often are we trying to serve the Lord independently of Him? The Lord will begin reproving His children when we...

"gods" refers to heavenly divine beings. Angels are also called gods and sons of god and I believe even were erroneously worshiped at times past in history. Believers are "gods" in the sense that we are sons of God through being born of His Spirit. And Jesus said we will be like the angels...

That means not only for the Jews who believe but for those who believe of the nations as well (Gentiles).

It's not extortion but a fair warning of the natural consequences of sin.....death. God is a consuming fire and ultimately cannot deny His nature....everything that is wicked and evil and not of Him (hidden and sheltered in the cleft of the Rock) will be destroyed at some point. He is...

All we have to do is open our eyes and see the awful suffering that happens in this world even now under His watch.....because the bible says this world is under wrath already. Sin comes with consequences and when God punishes and chastises mankind, He is being just. The Lord gives and the...

Brother, I completely agree that there is only one way to the Father. I think the OP is not rightly dividing that verse. Just that the OT in general is chock full of hints and foreshadowings of the gospel to come and I believe that verse is one such. When praying/interceding for a soul we...

In my opinion she was speaking truth, and it is a beautiful example of intercession that we can learn from.

Amen. And water baptism is a picture/parable word of that spiritual baptism. It speaks "without a word" but with a prophetic living picture. I think of it as Jesus has entered into covenant with us and having been awakened to it, we now need to give our consent to that. Only one signature on...

Well, what do the terms perish and destroy mean to you? Personally I consider the possibility that unbelieving souls will suffer and be in torment to the extent that is exactly just according to their individual sins/iniquity and then are destroyed. Why the smoke of their torment rises forever...

Yes, in the sense that He will cleanse and rid the earth of all the wicked: Mat 13:38-43 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the...

Haven't you read/heard that our God is a consuming fire? Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were...

Yes, the Lord is a refiner, but He refines His people, tearing down in order to rebuild.......but it is the people of the world who won't believe, that it turns out they are refined in vain.

God's word says we're "saved from wrath through Him."

It's a wonderful testimony brother. :) I also testify, of what the Lord has been gracious to give me in hopes it will encourage or inspire those who need to be baptized. When the eunuch said, look there is water, what doth hinder me from being baptized....this was written because there are...
