If the written scriptures Not brought to Life in a person by the Holy Spirit are Not the Word of God, as I believe, it certainly undercuts the idea that God only speaks through/according the scriptures.

Thanks for asking! Mine flu symptoms have diminished to a slight cough and a stuffy nose. Hers has taken a nose dive into a severe cough and respiratory problems. As per usual her asthma is very bad. We cancelled my dental surgery because the dentist dropped out of our insurance program...

What you mean is that God does not change His Word! Do you really believe that the devil quoting scripture to Jesus was speaking the Word of God? And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their...

Can a person not led by the Holy Spirit really preach the Word of God? Isn't it rather that he can call it the Word of God even though it is dead in his mouth?

How!!! "And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in...

I really don't know. I have never studied it myself. On this thread I asked someone else to tell me just exactly what the canon was, and who established it, and why was it apparently different for Catholics and non-Catholics. I did not receive answers to those questions. I presume that the...

Honesty? Do you speak and understand English so differently in South Africa? Or perhaps it is only you that misunderstand my purpose or meaning or...? I was simply stating my case. I don't see why you would question my honesty. Well I believe I was communicating with one person. While he and I...

He was studying the language as it was spoken. When he dealt with the young lady, he in effect pressured her to change her speech by learning some of his speech. It was still about communication. It is a constantly changing thing. For example when I went to work for the Social Security...

This is a very common thing, I believe, among men. The Bible itself, when we can understand it tells us about both the good and bad. One purpose of the Holy Spirit in us is to sort it all out separating the two so we know what to discard and what to follow. Even though you quoted it from the...

Just keep on plugging along with the Lord. On faith I guess you mean because comes through hearing the Word of God. However do not discount too much the important of seeing: "Where there is no vision, the people perish:..." Prov 29:18 And Jesus speaks both of hearing and seeing: "Therefore...

Of course, but where is faith different? You choice of course, but I would suggest that you talk to the Lord about it in any case. People standing firm in one position without a willingness to open their hearts and minds to any other possibilities can and do sometimes hinder or prevent their...

Jesus also died about 2,000 years ago, but He lives today! I guess you don't understand that you are working to prove that He is still dead! You did not see Him die and you did not see Him resurrect, therefore...? I see Him when I read my Bible, and when I talk to Him and He talks to me, but I...

Mike do you realize that by combining different verses like this you have actually made a statement which is a mixed statement, a mixture of the ways of the flesh and the Way of God? This is what is often seen in what men call Christianity or Christendom.

A safe position is, it? That is the same argument I have heard from BOL and Marymog on this very forum. You said earlier that you were not a Catholic, but you use the same argument they do. Doesn't make you stop and consider again? Do you live by faith or according to history and a position made...

OK, but I won't even ask the means you use to test the spirits. Oh, I know you use the Bible or you use the tests someone else already applied using the Bible. I also test the spirits, but daily surrender to the lead of the Holy Spirit and keep first things first. That may mean nothing to you...

And again you know that by revelation or did you read it in a book other than the Bible or hear it from some man?

They managed because some of them were taught by Jesus and all them who had any right in the eyes of God were led by the Holy Spirit... No matter what others here think, I believe that without the lead of the Holy Spirit the Bible itself will confuse people. Our seemingly innumerable number of...

Ok, that is where you are, but in spite of your assertions, without a revelation yourself from God, they are still only believed by faith, which the Bible describes as the "substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen". That is your faith, which differs from that of others...

That is not an explanation, but another word for me to look up in the dictionary. What are you saying?

I won't disagree with you about asking questions. I apologize for calling them foolish. As to Webster's Unabridged English Dictionary, it becomes outdated regularly as time goes by as people add new words to the vocabulary or change the meanings of old ones. I can remember when the word, gay...
