It's getting the faith down to that mustard seed size...that the hard part! :):p

I posted this elsewhere but I thought to make a new thread for this topic....which is so important. The Holy Spirit is IN a person who is born again. It is Christ IN us. But it takes going to the throne of grace to get the FULL measure of grace. We need to further enter into someone who isn't...

If we would stop judging others...we would not be judged. If we would allow God to be God and stop limiting Him...and fear His name..we would not come under any condemnation. If we would receive His servants as we would Jesus Himself we would never be shamed. If we would humble ourselves we may...

Remember that his works are translated from French. Jean Calvin. Some things are lost in the translation. i think he is talking about the inner witness....as in...I know that I know...or something like that. Good luck.

..better to remain safe with a paper God...(bible only) than risk an encounter with the living God. o_O

Man-made control has led to a lack of connection to God...and a vacuum to be filled with other spirits.

You are disrespecting an ancient and biblical church doctrine. The real new age movement comes from the West and a lack of real connection with the living God. (theosis) So you are seeing this backwards.

Theosis is biblical and although rejected in the Western churches...it is a basic tenet in the Eastern orthodox churches. The Salvation Army is an exception ...as well as a few other denominations. These taught holiness and entire sanctification. But nothing like the Eastern churches. Paul was...

Actually Christians will be judged harder than non-believers. ALL that is not of faith is indeed sin. So then yes, a Christian is responsible for his sins. More so than the non-believers. Judgment begins at the house of the Lord. It is a fearful thing indeed. One would have to understand that...

Never look a gif horse in the mouth.

Or just your church conditioning. A doctrine can be of demons without the demons themselves speaking. The devil has many ministers. And these appeal to the desire for salvation in the outer man. So his ministers are HUGELY successful. They say a lie goes around the world twice while the truth...

You can't. You have a cardboard image of something you're projecting onto me. Admit it. You have no idea what I'm talking about. I can explain your position very easily. But you can't for a moment say what is in my mind.

Farouk, is it just me or have your posts been getting a lot better lately?! :D

You know I went through a phase where I always wore a Jesus t-shirt. I had my car painted with bible verses....and had a cross on my house with a verse on it. (Just in case anyone came near me and didn't realize I was a Christian) :) I stopped doing that sort of thing when a car pulled up to me...

You must consider who I am speaking to and trying to reach. I am trying to enter into your way of thinking being all things to all men. If you see arrogance then you are looking in the mirror. I talk to YOU this way because you ridicule what I say normally as gnostic. I normally ignore your...

What about letting the Holy Spirit give us a spontaneous inspiration...as it says to do in the bible??? The best defense of the truth of the bible is it's practice. Do you not agree?

It doesn't work out like that though...even though I agree with you. what I have found is that about half of believers don't recognize the truth as such without the quotations and exact wordings. These will say...that is unbiblical if you reverse the wording or throw in another verse that says...

I rewrite them so that you don't understand them. What you don't realize is that you don't understand the verses I am paraphrasing. You can read a verse like "we are seated in heavenly places in Christ"...and you agree because you recognize the verse...or you see the bible reference so you nod...

You didn't sound religious enough. You never even mentioned being saved or how grace allows you to sin or any other catchwords used in the religious brainwashing technique. :eek:

If I said that (without bible reference markers) people would call me deluded and gnostic. But because people get indoctrinated to bible verses even while being inoculated from their meaning, they can read the bible and think they understand what is being conveyed. Truly remarkable how people...
