I do, and I refer to the written word often. But to remain in the written word is comparable to remaining in the flesh...it is not how we are to "follow" Jesus. The correct Way, is "first the natural, and then the spiritual." After having been born again of the Spirit, we are not suppose to...

The Pharisees are not what we are talking about here...they were just an example of what not to do. But you make a good point. That is exactly the circumstance here and now: Some are acting as if the scriptures do not give all the evidence needed to know that the plan of God headed by Jesus has...

So, what are you saying...that the bible/scriptures are not limited in their written form and have no need of being discerned spiritually?

The Pharisees are a better example of not hearing what the Spirit says to the churches, rather than just relying on the scriptures. They are just one example of how not to do things, there were also the religious leaders and lawyers. The point is, that He who inspired the scriptures has now...

Okay, so you missed the comparison of them believing in what was written instead of believing in Him who inspired what was written, as many here also now do...apparently, including yourself. Thanks for standing up and being counted with those who find greater value in what is seen, than in what...

Okay, my mistake, so you are deaf too. My apologies. But why do you contradict yourself to say the Holy Spirit wrote the scriptures, and then deny that they are more than the words on paper and cannot be contained in the world, and therefore must be discerned spiritually?

More psycho' projections from the blind in spirit. Meanwhile, I glorify the Spirit, and you tear down "what the spirit says to the churches."

No, the Pharisees' error was they believed "the scriptures is all you need to be a complete servant of God", instead of believing in the Spirit that inspired the scriptures. And here we go again.

Continued... So, I agree, and if I could fix it in all the world or even in my own home, I would. And certainly, we should stand against such evils day to day and try to see the world go another direction. But then again...take your pick: what is written is a "falling away", "great apostasy"...

Those are all symptoms, not the cause. I will come back and comment further. But it would be good to shift your attention to the root of the problem, and also to why God has allowed it.

All truth is from God, and he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

I quote the scriptures and it sounds like opinion to you. Cool.

I lift up the Spirit, and you tear down and then say you don't.

Indeed, God does know your heart.

The best example we have is that of Peter being overcome and called "Satan" by Jesus. But that was before he had been born again of the spirit of God or received the Holy Spirit. Some will say that Peter had been washed clean by Jesus and therefore had the Holy Spirit...and yet the Holy Spirit...

Your words are words of religious men, hypocrites who preach against the Spirit, as it is so painfully obvious here within these many pages. And this you do in unholy psychological projections while accusing others of doing the very counterfeiting you yourselves are guilty of. But you have not...

No...not two gospels, but "my two witnesses."

Folks...are you getting the irony here? That those who are speaking against the Spirit (meaning against God) and yet call themselves "Christian", are speaking out against those who honor and recognize the Spirit to be God and that He is alive and active in the lives of real Christians? Such is...

No, that is totally false. By considering that all spiritual activity is "spiritual wickedness", you have adjusted your beliefs to silence God and aid the devil. The "light in you is darkness", of which He gave warning. God is spirit, and you have decided to turn a deaf ear to Him. You have...

I mean that all biblical events have there place on the calendar of the created world, but not the things of God's eternity. Therefore, certain points of scripture cannot even be written without stating the correct time as actually being before time (before the foundation of the world), and...
