Actually with Adam it was a difficulty with his hearing...his hearing comprehension skills. He was told to not eat of the fruit of a certain tree. But since so few hear from God anymore it comes down to misunderstanding the bible...and even other people's posts. So then it is reading skills...

Why haven't you tarried in Jerusalem as Jesus told His followers to do? Follow the bible...as if you took it seriously. At least then you wouldn't be a hypocrite. Why haven't you sold all to follow Christ...the same Jesus as always? The truth is that you don't follow anything but your own...

Our daily bread... is a word from God for today. A daily manna. God can quicken to us a word or verse from the bible...or..He can speak directly to us...just as the bible records. The error is to limit God as Helen was saying...to a mute witness. Especially considering that we are to live from...

It might be the burning of people that disagreed with him at the stake. How many people do you know that burn people alive that are really very likeable? It tends to be like the elephant in the room...especially if you are being tied to a stake yourself. :eek:

Helen, like a fresh breeze is your visit to this thread! :)

Yes...shallow believers who are easily offended. No life there.

We take ground in our own souls the way Joshua took ground in Canaan (the promised land). In this way we win Christ..or are won over to Christ. But we have many kinds of ground in us...many areas to overcome in. So as we humble ourselves and patiently tackle the kinds of ground we read about in...

How can we grow from 30 to 60 to 100 fold if we are held to the limitations we start with? I wish you would learn something from your time on my threads. But you are not a seeker are you?

The third kind of ground that the seed fell among thorns. Luke 8:14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. Now we who are rich modern Westerners have...

Is Jesus a minister of sin? Of course not. We seek then to enter into Him as our salvation from sin. This is what Paul sought for...to win Christ. To cast off everything that He once thought had any value...to become as a fool...to suffer the loss of all things...to seek with all his heart and...

I am quoting what people have said...born again sinners...and bible followers. I don't talk about salvation...that is your indoctrination. I don't have any indoctrination...but you can't see that so you pin one on me...according to your lack of understanding. You think you are saved by reading...

All false. You are on ignore because you are self-willed and false...even as you try appearing as loving (with your signature) and fooling others ...that you have anything but a vain religious attitude.

I thought you believed in the authority of the bible? I am the one saying that the devil uses it...which you don't understand. ...and you have believed the satanic version...and your blindness is that you think you have the truth. So how do you get out of the hole you are in...unless you...

The bible says eh? So says you as interpreter. But the actual bible says "we" are dead to sin....meaning that sin has no power over us at all. We can enter into Christ at any time...by faith. But God must accept our sacrifice. The bible says that God says...You will FIND Me when you seek Me...

Do you see that you are making this an either or? A zero sum game. I normally don't answer people twice as all they have to do is re-read my post to get the answer. I find the reading comprehension skills very poor here on the forum. And these are expected to understand the bible? I don't...

It's always a zero sum game isn't it with people. I study the bible perhaps more than anyone on this forum....yet I esteem the Spirit more highly as He gives me actual life in Christ.Studying the bible is useful if one uses this not INSTEAD of walking in the power of God. So the very verses you...

Actually this thread is not about growth in Christ...but growth in the bible...which leads to many various doctrines...none of which leads to life.

How wise was it to say such a thing on a forum where so many are devoid of the Spirit and are looking to exalt a book while grieving the Holy Spirit? What led you to do that? The flesh always looks for a way to disregard the truth.

LOL You would reproduce other bible followers as you. But there is no life in it. The bible points us to Christ so we can follow Him...outside of the bible. We are not to grow in the bible...or bible knowledge for it's own sake. Knowledge puffs up but love edifies. (that's in the bible) So...

I see speaking to you really as generating strife because you have no idea what you're talking about. I have made clear (I think they are clear enough) posts...which you have taken pot-shots at...without addressing anything honestly from an idea or a biblical verse. What is there to take...
