Exactly! We must speak from the Spirit as the oracle of God. I think the willingness is to be surrendered to God

I realize that many are sceptical about experiences with God seeing we now have the canon contained in the bible. But I see the words from God inviting us into the experience of the saints of old! :)

Rather than broaden our thinking on the subject it would seem wiser to focus on the words of the King of kings. Mat_5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is...

Faith comes by hearing...or reading! Yes! :) But where there is a lack of vision the people are brought to nothing. We should take the words of Paul very seriously that say...always learning but never coming to the knowledge of the truth. We can seem to be constantly advancing...but to where...

A great problem arises when someone does start out in the Spirit. The lack of maturity in that person is often difficult to deal with owing to the lack of spiritual experience in those that are trying to point out that fact. There is no cookie cutter way to approach discipleship. The...

A person who damns will be condemned himself. One must be in the Spirit and speak IN Christ when rebuking, or damning. This would be very rare undeed. LIke when Peter damned Ananias and Sapphira...and they dropped dead. Anybody can be self-righteous and declare themselves as holier than...

For For us holiness is a location....being in Christ. Holiness is a scary word for many if not most believers. I'd say most want to be saved WITHOUT being holy. Holiness implies being always in God's presence and remaining there. Sounds like a death to human freedom. Men can't handle...

All the gifts should not only be submitted to God but to the brethren as well. I think too many ministries are created through a self-seeking desire for recognition and individualist vainglory. Prophecy, healing gifts and teaching especially. But these gifts are to be administered in the context...

I see it the other way around. The bible indeed gets us searching. But we don't know what we are really searching for. God shows us the completed picture through a revelation ....then we are left to take the steps in that direction...through His direction.

The law is in effect...not the ceremonial parts which are fulfilled in Christ...for the sake of righteousness. Those who are actually in Christ are fulfilling the law through the Spirit. Those who are not in Christ will be judged by the law.

...speaking out your testimony and thanksgiving to God are good for anyone to share. Putting yourself in the judges chair and looking down on others who don't have the same problems as you...is pride. There is a difference between humbly sharing what God has done and putting yourself forward as...

2Ti_1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Job was afflicted in his body not his mind. Teach anything? How about teach everything! A person with a mental illness is not qualified to teach everything.

OK who are we here to gossip about?! ;)

Anyone who uses a human reasoning to teach the word will be a hypocrite. We are to have the mind of Christ.

Greetings and welcome!!!! :)

Are you suggesting that someone with a mental illness is fit to teach others?

It is dudette not dude! When we abide in Christ we marvel at the instruction of God. Not the law. The Hebrew word is Torah...which means instruction. God's training is hard but those who submit to it love the discipline and truth that God brings. That is the context of David's exclamation...

What I'm saying is that a person who suffers from an illness that can cloud judgment should refrain from trying to teach anyone until God gives that person soundness of mind. We are not to be many teachers as these will receive the harder judgment.

Jesus said divorce for adultery was ok for the man...not the woman. You will not find that remarriage pertaining to women is condoned at all.
