@marks Scripture does Not teach us: "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." John 14:26 " [God] Who also hath made us able ministers of the...

The Bible is a vessel full of seed which needs to be brought to Life as with the seed of a plant. If you never plant the seed of the plant, nourishing it and watering it, it will never explode into life with leaves to soak up the sun, and blossoms and see and smell, and finally good fruit to...

No, that is not what I meant. Every believer has to have a vision as per Prov 29:18. The vision early on is very dim, but it is Light when compared to the absolute darkness where unbelievers dwell, but are not supposed to be comparing ourselves among ourselves. "For we dare not make ourselves...

No, the Bible contains truth, but without the quickening of the Spirit, what is written is dormant awaiting the bringing to Life. It is like Jesus dead on the cross prior to the resurrection. A Bible on my mother's coffee table remained unread by any one all of the years I lived in her home...

Thank you! I guess I could have searched for such an answer myself, but knowing the meaning of the term won't change what is. I have for as long as I can remember favored equal pay for equal work and really equal opportunity. These may be good things, but more important is the heart of a person...

You are wanting me to try justify myself. I won't do that. What I always try to do is follow the lead of the Holy Spirit. Within the answers to the four questions, I believe, are your answers, but it is to you like Jonah to the accusers of Jesus. You have latched onto answers that the CC has...

You wish to follow the CC. I seek rather to be led by the Spirit of God: "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." Rom 8:4

My decisions which I make are mine, right or wrong. This the free will that God has given to each of us to choose God or mammon. That is all that I am saying. All of those questions and any answers I might make would dependent on what each of us mean by unless we agreed the Church is. We do not!

Apology? What is your definition of condescending? When you state definitely that the CC is God's church and being anyplace else constitutes error.... is there no condescending involved in that? Is heavy sarcasm and openly impolite criticism of my beliefs and the beliefs of others a better form...

Yes, favoritism is subjective. All of us have certainly been guilty of it and I guess in a measure continue to be. Only God is always able to be absolutely fair [objective?] because He alone is able to understand every detail of every issue and judge accordingly. Some things we cannot even...

You are new here. I have been here for several years as has my friend @bbyrd009 . I don't defend everything that he posts, and even when I definitely agree with him I don't always say anything one way or the other. I take things one at the time as they come... and this includes people. A lot of...

@Enow I could cite another scripture here for you, but I won't. Rather, I will warn you to be careful for yourself when you stand in judgment against anyone else. What made you decide that that was your job? Simply because I did not agree with you? "Every way of a man is right in his own...

To continuously eat [partake of the Word] and drink [partaking of the Holy Spirit] is not done to save ourselves. It is done so that we grow becoming always more mature and more like Him. It is so that we may work better in the day as we move in our vision of Him from through a "glass darkly" to...

Not knowing what you call, evangelical stuff, I will leave that alone. I will say that precisely followed rituals, even if God prescribed them, as He did with the natural children of Jacob/Israel will also not accomplish His ultimate purpose in a heart that is not hungry and thirsty for His...

Is it all subjective? Too much of it is. When we are "in the Spirit" and we speak, it is not subjective. Subjective is how man is in the flesh and at times when someone with Spirit moves in and out of the Spirit. When you or I or anyone is always "in the Spirit" we will never be subjective in...

"He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30

He is there for that purpose in anyone who has received Him, but if a person continuously, repeatedly quenches the Spirit in him as practiced and even taught by many church groups, He is no longer directing. Then our Light starts to dim. A good continuous connection to the Source must be...

Our brightness is ever increasing? It should be, but if we refuse to let the Him always lead and we fail to regularly partake of what He offers, how can our brightness increase? "From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him." John 6:66 Nevertheless I have...

And what if it is through others that God is seeking to give you more Light than you already have? What if you refuse to open the door when He is knocking? "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he...

We will never hunger and never thirst if we partake of His flesh and His blood daily. When we have the opportunity, we all partake daily of meat and potatoes and H2O so as to keep our physical body [the vessel of the old man] alive and healthy. Should we do less for the new spiritual man?
