Right on!!! :)

In the end God wants us to trust Him completely...like Abraham did with his only son. Of course we have a jolt of faith when we walk in the Spirit. But not everyone will ALWAYS be walking in the Spirit. So what do we do when someone (or ourselves) is not in a state of supernatural empowering? We...

Hi brother! If we exhibit the same faith as those who have had the experiences will we not also inherit the promises with them? Receive a prophet in the name of a prophet and receive a prophet's reward! :)

This parable is a reference to the 2nd (general) resurrection. We see the same resurrection being described with the sheep/goats judgment in Matt. 25.

Very good! Because of lawlessness the love of many will wax cold.

You are missing the point about authority. Spiritual authority is not like a game of tag.

Good works are like miracles...they FOLLOW the relationship we have with God. God is our portion. He can choose to continue to use us or discard us as He wishes. We are satisfied with Him when we no longer gauge our own usefulness to God. You seem to always be looking at yourself through this...

Kudos on this Aspen!!! (reps too!)

Great analogy! :)

I actually am implying that men can't claim to be God-pleasers without God Himself declaring it so. We have millions of confused Christians running around today claiming to be pleasing to God without God saying anything about it...yet! Still one must be careful of judging oneself to be...

We are not talking about law, but grace. People can do as they feel they should. Jesus is explaining something that only a few will ever do or realize. There are thousands of excuses why it should not be done. But the word remains there to judge people's motive's by. As per usual...everything...

It is funny that everyone trusts God for sustenance in the community in the heavenlies after death...just almost no one can so trust God in THIS life. Who will look after the children after you are gone? Will you forbid God from taking you away from your responsibilities? THIS is the...

Actually...should God wait for openings in our busy schedules before doing the work of the kingdom? Does not Jesus call us to forsake everything to follow Him? For most, this cost is too high. Complaining about this requirement is utter futility. You cannot change the word of God. Where is our...

We must be careful brother when speaking in absolutes. Has God given you the apostolic authority (like the early apostles) to deny that any other apostolic voice (after yours) is false?

We are totally free. It is just that few will be able to follow the narrow path. Luk_13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. It is like the invitation to the wedding feast...not everyone is capable of attending...

Amen! The first job of a Christian is to be a Christ bearer.

Exactly! Someone who has made himself comfortable does not need the Comforter sent to him.

Some people would say that if a man and woman live in separate countries they can't be married. ;)

Interesting points! We know that Judas is certainly not one of the 12 founding apostles of the church. Perhaps Paul replaces Judas. Perhaps not. There were more like 120 apostles at the beginning. Have you considered Barnabas?

We must be careful to not claim to be the elect before the time. Anyone can say...the victors win! But it is the folly of men to assume they are victors before they have finished the race. Let he not boast who puts on the sword as one who takes it off! In other words a man can think he will...
