You seem very sure of yourself. The thing is...if we live as Jesus asked us to live. The life of abiding in The Vine. There will be no such thing as any Christian being "left behind". It may make good preaching but that doesn't make it true!! I will live as close to the Lord as He has...

Thank you...very good opening post. Thanks for sharing. Like most people here I am sure we have all had many 'Sovereignty' discussions in our time. :) God cannot be "total sovereign " in our lives , because He has chosen to "give us" freedom to choose!! We can chose Him, or chose our own...

Until now I have stayed out of this, as Stranger had it. :) But, I must say now...Just go and read ALL of Matthew chapter 5 chapter 6 and chapter seven for starters... there is not one parable in any... and Jesus spoke every of these chapters. 111 verses, not one in parables. Not one parable...

Amen. Totally agree. I see it as having been written firstly spiritually, from God to His people...and wider, to all of humanity and to anyone who wishes God to open their understand so He can hear Him speak to them...but we know not many respond to this (ie His) invitation. This morning...

I have just read this post again. Very interesting. I don't relate to every "husband" ...but I am very familiar with #3 and #4 Spiritual Tradition, and Religiosity... I knew those 'husbands very well'.. sometimes #3 tries to creep back into my house , but praise God for the Holy Spirit who...

I think I may even take that a bit further... there is the scripture which says:- John 14:26 "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." Is...

Totally....I guess that was my whole point. That is the delema I have with a couple of people. Their relationship with the bible itself seems to have been elevated to the level of their relationship to the Lord !!! Our ' love affair ' with our bible shouldn't be equal to our love affair with God.

It was lovely to read your testimony on post #68 Those experiences last us a life time. KBCid .....Very interesting thread. :)

True, but lets remember, that is to do with our initial salvation only. If not it becomes a licence to the flesh. God expects to see good fruit also as we abide in the vine.

Excellent...loved it! But much like FHII I am off to bed now...I am marking this with " Watch this Thread". Back at a later date... :)

Totally, I have to agree with that as I said similar things myself on page #1 :D As I read the scriptures ( especially Pauls books) it shows that we have two things going on. #1 our spiritual position in Jesus Christ, but also #2 which is our daily walking experience in Christ. Maybe...

Thanks for response. All I can say is, I am ( like many of us probably) also on a different Site...two people on that site test my patience somedays. They don't much talk about the Lords dealing with them ( inwardly) or how the Lord enriches their life...but if you know what I mean,( but...

:D Ahh...but maybe I chose to believe that he was saying it that way! No biggie... I have a small brain, and not much into "heavy" discussions :)

My two cents is that once we get in one camp or the other, we hit a problem. It is not a case of either v or, but both!! It's not Grace OR Works...it is both. God has done the saving, but we must do the responding. Only at lunch today someone was going on about Grace...I stopped him and...

Very good post. I enjoyed the interaction. I liked all of it, but only quoted this small part here. It says "which are able to make thee wise." It doesn't say that it will make us wise..it is able to..if we yield to it. Like I said in the OP " maybe you can get me to change my opinion...I...

Yes Agree ...Jesus did not "always" speak in parables, far from it. He used them, but not always. Again, I don't see the issue as "a beach to die upon." I believe what I believe , and others are free not to agree....and that does not make either side of the argument 'right.' I never...

Not quite sure why this is so hard to grasp. The Angel of the Lord wrestled with Jacob. Three angels appeared to Abraham " as strangers" then went to Sodom to lead Lot out. An Angel appeared to Samsons parents and 'ate'what they prepared. We think too small when we limit the unsearchable...

Amen...God for it Sword...do it!! It may well be good for us all to see just how much we still live and move in the flesh over the Spirit!! It is if we can all be honest :)

I agree with this. He is unlimited..His body can walk through walls..He can be where He likes...He is both Spirit and a spiritual glorified flesh. But that is not limiting as He .... "the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty...

Sword started a thread about the common ground of things that we all can agree upon. Which has got me thinking about the things that we don’t seem to agree upon! :) If we are honest with each other and ourselves, many things that we “hold as to what we each believe , or don’t believe…is...
