A terrible thing, wisdom, isn't it? "The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here." Matt 12:42 Ah yes, but who is...

And this is the stuff of new denominations. Apparently the number (of denominations) continues to increase. This is not what the Baptist meant here: "He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30

I only know what God has shown me! You want to focus on the words I said about Catholics. The problem is NOT a specifically Catholic one. It is a people following their own flesh problem and always has been since Adam and Eve disobeyed God. You want to draw a line between Catholics and others...

Although supposedly a reader and a teacher still you do not understand what I wrote? The thousands of churches with disagreeing doctrines you mention exist due to people not really willing to pay the price to get "in His name" and stay there. The problem is not in the Catholic Church alone. It...

And if God is in our hearts? "He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live." Prov 4:4 "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:" Col 1:27...

I do understand what you are saying. I know you meant only good with what you posted and I do appreciate it. There have been too many times when I needed to hear some kind supportive words and received only admonitions or curses. Presently I have no home church. By following God, I found myself...

I don't get to decide and I did not say that I did. I speak from my own experience.. whether or not you or anyone else accept it. As to Catholics I tried vin all my years as an active Catholic to stay on the Lord's side as best I could. I failed miserably at times, but regularly went to the...

If I were charging the whole group I would have stopped bothering with you as soon as I understood you were with them. I've been in some bad places myself and understand that every individual is not necessarily a willing and ready partaker of any and every evil thing that may be stated in some...

If this is so, I apologize for putting on you something that was not yours. I was going according to posted words. I don't know all of the answers to every thing nor all of the background information on which everyone's answers are based. LOL, sometimes I forget myself where I first received...

No, I have not to my knowledge been given power to forgive sins. I believe He would have let me know on this point. He has not. Jesus, as a man, had that power as expressed in the gospels. He gave that power to some of His followers as also expressed in the gospels. If we, as men, should need...

I read through those books as you do and indeed God speaks to me as I read. To that point I am with you. From my own experience, what I have been shown in those same books as well as through the testimony of others, I have seen that God also does speak to us as He did to them in the times of...

If one person were to bend the right Way or one reader were to have his blindness healed? Perhaps it won't happen, but I have learned through Jeremiah and Jonah that our job is to speak what God says to speak. With Jeremiah, God told him that no one would hear him. With Jonah they did hear, but...

I have never said that I was. God knows for each of us, but in spite of what people say, I believe it to be a rare person who knows he is before he reaches the end of his course. Consider the words of Apostle Paul: "But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so...

Were you not? Consider the post to which you were responding. It mentions me by name and certainly twists the truth. If you were not referring to me, should you have connected yourself in that way? I might believe that you had no wrong intent, but I am not the only one reading here. In this...

I know that people sometime twist things changing the facts enough to make themselves look good even if the result is a lie about someone else. I have had worse lies told about me, but the fact that you accepted them as truth does make you at least a partaker. You supposedly have been reading...

Well I suspect it was several months ago and would difficult to locate among hundreds of posts. Here however is a post to another person which discusses that verse which you say I gloss over. I know over the years on this forum and I others I have discussed this very verse, II Tim 2:15, many...

Actually I explained that verse in detail to you not long ago.

I am attempting no such thing! What is, is! I was simply sharing my understanding, which like every incomplete man, I believe, falls short of all that God has for man. This last, of course, you do not believe. To your mind you have apparently moved beyond belief to knowledge.

I was asking some questions. Now you have at least partially answered them. We have different definitions for the Word of God. To simplify for you where I am, I believe these things: The Bible does not contain the Holy Spirit. The Bible is not the Holy Spirit, nor is it Jesus. Jesus is the Word...

Yes, I am denying that scripture alone is sufficient to our needs according to God. I believe that the Holy Spirit is necessary to bring the scriptures to Life within us. If they never come to Life, they never are the Word of God which is Alive. Without Life in us in the end we have nothing at...
