As long as we're submitted to God in our treasure hunting. And that our heart motives are pure. Otherwise our table can turn into a snare. Hence the need to give God the fear that is due Him in all that we do. It's HIS truth after all....HOLY!.....and not our plaything to entertain ourselves...

Sister, can you not just receive a caution without getting hot under the collar? Don't you know there are many dangers, toils and snares on this journey? Just be careful. I can't make enough head or tail of your posts to be conclusive, but I seem to sometimes discern a potential danger, at...

Well, I know I find this tougher to digest than other things. :) I don't know all the answers, but I believe what the Lord is after is for our flesh and will to finally "cry uncle" and surrender to the Lord. We are referred in the parable as a king with a smaller army than the King coming to...

Confusion. Meanwhile the actual intended point of those scriptures gets lost in the shuffle.

And blatant bigotry and hatred for American Christians gets a pass from you, for some reason.

I know it's not an easy thing to hear.....it is for sure some of the strong meat that is necessary for going on to perfection/maturity. There are quite a few scriptures that talk about the potential of losing what we were given. It's no wonder Paul wrote, "Knowing therefore the terror of the...

Sister, it was a caution to not to think beyond or above what is written (as the scripture says).....because to do so is perilous. It's certainly possible that we can dig ourselves in so deep that we miss the mark by going beyond it. It's not for no reason that we are to test the spirits, as...

Amen, though the Lord has given us warnings and instructions for our good, that we need to take to heart.

Please do test this. It confirms the idea of a second blessing (so to speak) - it agrees with the idea of the extra oil of the one parable and the concept of doubling one's initial measure in the other parable. It is strong meat for sure, and a warning that we need to take seriously. I pray...

Yes, true. There is a sense in which the extra oil will come from our initial deposit like the parable of the talents...they gained more by investing along the way, so to speak, their initial measure of grace and faith in order to receive more (twice as much). I notice that all ten of those...

Amen. Psa 11:1-7 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain? For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do...

Apples and oranges sister. I used an illustration to make a point for your sake, to try and help you see the point, and only added the "lol" to soften it for your sake, for the very reason that I DIDN'T want you to receive it as an insult or accusation. Epi INTENDED to accuse and insult -and...

What does you accusing a brother falsely have to do with my outer man? There is nothing faux about how your comments and accusations are affecting me. The only thing that is faux is you trying to re-characterize these deplorable and false things you have said as a joke.

What about the extra oil in the parable of ten virgins?

Extra oil comes to mind with this, maybe. I believe our measure of grace and faith is not just for spiritual gifts only, but also to have grace and faith to simply follow and obey the Lord, His will and personal leading in our lives. (Thinking of those who were saying, Lord, Lord...and Jesus...

Highly inappropriate and most definitely not holy.

What is funny about falsely accusing people? Aren't you a grown-up?

Unbelievable. This kind of low-blow nastiness and insult is pure flesh...it is not of God. And you call yourself a Christian.....and holy at that. Your other accusation against this brother is also not of God, it's just obvious lashing out, out of vitriol.....it isn't even how the Lord would...

It's far from the first time he has accused people falsely......no discernment, and he must be listening to lying spirits. AKA false prophet.

I gather that Andrew Murray stops short of teaching the second blessing as a doctrine, but as a reality and experience that some believers will go on to experience. This is like a testimony of someone I know on another forum, who has testified of something similar, but who doesn't teach it as a...
