What is a prophet? What is prophecy? It is a message from God, which may or may not be a prediction of future events. The prophet would be the one God gave the message to deliver. He is the delivery boy. Saul at the very start did OK, being meek and shy when he was first chosen to be king. Not...

But consider two examples which should make us stop and look more closely. Saul the first king of Israel received the same anointing by the same prophet [Samuel] as did David... What was the difference? The second example is Judas Iscariot chosen by Jesus along with the eleven others as his...

@Episkopos Good to see you here old friend! I won't try to comment on your post as my mind won't take hold of it at all at the moment. Perhaps later I will read it again. Your input here has truly been missed!

@Holy999 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13

Joining in prayer here!

Outside of Christianity, because the stories were sometimes not Bible stories? No, if you mean by Christianity the group of people who are striving to follow Christ, none of them are outside of Christianity even though many times they are in sin instead of in the Spirit of God. Being in...

Praying also!

One good thing is that on this forum unlike some others, there is no time limit on making appropriate corrections to a post.

Jesus did not condemn traditions. Rather he spoke against practicing traditions which make void the commandment or Word of God: "Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the...

@TLHKAJ No offense taken! Are you presuming? If they are shadows, so what then is the Reality for people living for God today? What should the Reality be for people living for God? Unbelievers live in their own fictional settings in the temporal or fictional world. Fictional or temporal that...

@Lapidem What does any parent do to their children when they put them into any public school? What kind of brain washing goes on there? When my own children were young they went to Christian schools or we home schooled them. That was to help them become like me and their mother and hopefully...

When a baby is 3 months old, how much of those wider perspectives of which you speak would he be able to understand? When he is 6 years old? When he is 11 years old? And so forth? You call it censoring but you are presuming that the wider perspectives the world of men offers might be better...

Certainly! You seem to have things hidden between the lines here. I will leave those parts alone. Give God the glory!

Younger or less experienced people in the Lord do need help from men, but the help should come from men/women who know the Lord and who walk with and in Him so it is not them who are stifling the Spirit. God did give us ministers for this purpose as per: "And he gave some, apostles; and some...

No, just use your white cane!

Yes, sister, we cannot remain clean and empty and expect to stay right with God...The thinking on the right things is filling up that empty space properly. Jesus is speaking of this here: "When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth...

Does this add up to being 75% correct? It could just be referring to a six that is sick...[6ail = an ailing six]. If it is too sick with head bent way down or upside down then would or could it possibly be a 9? In any case, do you win a prize?

How far away from correct is a person allowed to be?

@Stumpmaster You alone or I alone or anyone alone cannot make it happen to everyone that meets together has not followed a prescribed order of service as per men, either written out in advance for a leader to follow or done by default. Consider what Jesus said here: "For where two or three...

How God treated and/or judged people, OT and NT, is expressed here in the words of Jesus: "And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of...
