    Tongues ( 'sign' gifts ) did/did not cease?

    Thats cool. I dont really care all that much though. Talking to God like he is my Father in and through Christ living to love God and love others is the main thing over all things even self. And i cant take people super seriously on here for the most part… No desire to do that, as that will...

    Tongues ( 'sign' gifts ) did/did not cease?

    Hello Bob, That tends to do alot with Human pride; even the simply having knowledge of the Bible, can make one feel as though they are superior to others. There have been alot of my thoughts and opinions that have been shared people may not like; but im not here to judge people based off what...

    Tongues ( 'sign' gifts ) did/did not cease?

    I dont think anything which was said limits God; it limits humans; who were never told yo go heal the blind, deaf, sick, lame (except the disciples). Fruit deals with your spiritual relationship with God. Which brings forth love. That would be defined by 1 Corinthians 13; and also Galatians 5...

    Can a Christian Be Possessed?

    Can a Christian be Possessed? Fully by the flesh I suppose. By demons? Dont believe so anymore. By the devil? Dont believe so anymore. Thoughts in your head? That keep you in the same state or place that could be dark, even in temptation? Yes. Influence of spirits of the world? Spirit of...

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    Hello, The Wrath of God is and was only for the nation of Israel. When God divorced them, in 70AD. People have the choice to walk and live a holy life that pure and full of life, and some people may not be so close to God but they have faith and they live the way they choose. God is just and...

    Why did he write a second letter then? He did in the second letter request for them to go and show love to the person who had sex and boasted about it to everyone about with mother-in-law, or am I mistaken? Maybe it was just to clear everything out with them in the second one, some things are...

    Hello Didnt Paul have to also write a second letter to the people of Corinthians to correct some of the mistakes in the first one?

    Tongues ( 'sign' gifts ) did/did not cease?

    Yes. But i dont know “everything” a “preterist” who may study “pretristism” may believe. My choice is to believe that Jesus wasnt lying; or making a double prophecy, and the choice to love others who may see differently and allow them the freedom to choose for themselves. Sometimes my mind can...

    Hello Walter, and Debbie. Respect to you. Whats Gods plan though, what is it you mean that he is working out?

    ...

    Gods pouring of wrath was only one time, it was what destroyed Jerusalem in 70Ad for having turned from God and judgement of divorce was made; and then you have all those who come out of the tribulation, and those who come out from hell and judged and those who are judged at the white throne...

    Israel's Faithlessness And God's Patience

    He also was gonna destroy them which was done with plagues,and an Army for worshipping Idols and killing the son of God; it happened according to revelation.

    Meaning of This Generation Will Not Pass Away Until All These Things Take Place

    The reason he is talking about that generation is because it was foretold of the destruction that would insue once God divorced whore isreal for worshipping idols, and having the Son of God killed, @CadyandZoe. Thats what I understand about the narrative. Jesus came only for the lost sheep of...

    Meaning of This Generation Will Not Pass Away Until All These Things Take Place

    I take it as 40 years is a biblically defined generation, and Jesus was serious, and John the baptist who also gave warning of the Wrath that would come, and Malachi 400 years before them.

    Preterism misrepresents Scripture

    I have never been on to really care much about ‘ism’ and there is a scale board of where ‘isms’ may fall to the extremism which brings forth the basic setup. “Even to consider evidence of such matters is stupid”, Like Pretrism (there are many ways looked in by the logic of; “looking in the...

    What is disappointing is the message from someone else is that God saved me, but you are doomed to eternal hell forever... A very unfortunate mindset.

    Tongues ( 'sign' gifts ) did/did not cease?

    1stCenturyLady, people do. And when it comes to talking about subjective beliefs with you, it doesn't really do anything much for me. As people believe what they will, like Hell still being around, or Jesus Christ coming back. I believe Hell is done away with and Jesus did come back. I don't...

    “Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation. By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can...

    I dont know how God feels friend. Faith pleases God that is all I know. People believe what they want and that is fine with me too. You take care.
