    GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT

    When I think of apostles in the modern sense I think of this statement by Jesus... Mat. 9:38 Beseech the Lord of the harvest, therefore, that He might send out workmen into His harvest." Now it doesn't say...that people might send out missionaries....no....it is God being beseeched for "sent...

    The false gospel of grace

    This is religious nonsense and doublespeak that causes God's ways to be mocked. Just sayin...

    So how are we seeing right now?

    Faith sees. That is what faith does. I'm not the only one that has seen by the Spirit...but it is very rare since nobody is talking about it. And the resistance to real faith is very pronounced in this time of lawlessness. There is more to eternal life than just reading about it in the bible.

    Convince me of Annihilationism

    Well the bible doesn't say...the soul that sins it shall be tormented forever and ever. The second death kills the soul. Rev. 14: 9-11 is the only reference I have come across in the bible that suggest an eternal torment for people...and it is for they who worship the beast and have taken his...

    So how are we seeing right now?

    Hey John...here is another angle. Jesus called the Laodicean church bishop blind....and that he needed to purchase eye salve from Him so that he might see. Rev. 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and...

    So how are we seeing right now?

    The devil quotes scripture. You have a far too high opinion of your own opinions.

    So how are we seeing right now?

    You are an offensive person who I don't consider a brother. I find all your words to be exactly backwards. You project your own falsehoods on me. I'm so done with the likes of you.

    So how are we seeing right now?

    That's the difference between us...I am giving you testimony. It used to be where Christians had a testimony of Jesus Christ and His kingdom. But no longer...it's all just theories and opinions. That's the level you play on. And you refuse any other level....than the basest possible. That's why...

    So how are we seeing right now?

    Like a blind man giving his opinion about the meaning of the colour blue which he has never seen. You are not being called to give an opinion and an theoretical explanation...but to enter the kingdom by faith. Your opinion has no value at all.

    So how are we seeing right now?

    I think we tend to see Paul like a Greek philosopher rather than someone who was describing simply what he was experiencing. The Jews are the most realistic and practical of people. Definitely not philosophical. That domain is for the Greeks. Too often we read Paul as if he was issuing...

    Waste

    People so often resist God's work, not trusting that He can build better than before. Self-love and self-preservation keep us away from the cross of Christ that brings a death...but a more abundantly life as well. :)

    Waste

    Have you ever noticed how the prophetic ministry of Jeremiah...the prophet of the nations...was tilted in favour of destruction after which comes the building back up? Jer. 1:10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy...

    Crucified with Christ

    Following after Christ is not just about salvation....it is about ruling with Him in the next age. Jesus' followers argued over who would be seated next to Him....not that they were just saved. But the standard for following Christ is very high. Too high for most people. One should NEVER seek...

    The false gospel of grace

    Ask yourself...."where is this attitude coming from in me? What nature do I live in and feed?"

    The false gospel of grace

    And what is worse still is the religious imposters who don't sin outwardly...but inwardly. These have a form of godliness...and very good sounding doctrines. But they have no love in them. They are hard bitten...bible thumping, self-righteous and fully radical in their defense of the truisms...

    Morality

    There is no such thing as subjective morality. It is like saying...there is absolutely no absolutes! It is an oxymoron. Actually morality differs from place to place....such is it's subjectivity. Morality is a human way of thinking and is influenced by the society of that time and place. There...

    The false gospel of grace

    Amen sister! This is a proper and humble attitude to have. God indeed gives grace to the humble. :) Too often people believe only in what they want the bible to say. But what wisdom is there in twisting the words that are there to save us? We are only hurting ourselves (and those who hear us)...

    The false gospel of grace

    Grace takes us to a higher level where we become more responsible for sins...not less. God's ways are equal. Since grace is so powerful in a good way...it can also be powerful in a bad way when we misuse it. It's like nuclear power. You don't mess with it. One must be very careful when handling...

    The false gospel of grace

    Are you saying cleansed as in washed away so that the power of sin is destroyed...or just whitewashed? I think I already know your position...but it is a false gospel that serves man...not God. It justifies "believers" IN their sins. So there is actually no real cleansing taking place...just an...

    Self-Awareness

    o_O:oops: This is so telling... We can only get to where we are going by walking away from where we've been.
