Dreams and visions are only part of what God has given us. He has also given us these 'gifts' of certain ones so that we might be perfected: "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of...

Until it is 'mapped out' in the heart of a believer by the Holy Spirit, what does the believer understand of it?

Indeed, grew up in the things of God and away from the foolish ways of men.

You are citing the preaching former blind man rather than Jesus: "Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth." John 9:31 As @Helen has already pointed out, God certainly does hear sinners since every man was certainly a...

Give God the glory! Praise His name!

@Jennifer "But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against...

@Episkopos Do you recall these verses? "And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Matt 4:19 And then when Jesus first told them to cast their net into the sea: "And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing...

Hmmm... perhaps small to fit through the strait and narrow way [Matt 7:13-14]

And should we suppose that that verse relates to this one? "And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins." Lev 26:27-28

Truth be told the number is one I read on the Internet somewhere. How could I know better? You are seeing it probably from another angle. One way might be that nearly each and every believer is on his own in this but [nearly?] always with some views/beliefs which overlap those of others...

Is it now 40-50,000 denominations? When this is happening it is certainly is a movement from bad to worse. Probably not many, if any, qualify as good at the beginning of this kind of motion. Individuals may do better than the church as a group... but it could be a very lonely road. Jesus...

@Addison Butcher All of us are undeserving of what God provides.

@Addison Butcher Praying for you now!

Also joining in prayer here for all of those affected!

I guess our friend @shnarkle still has me on "ignore" since he has not responded my post about his OP. I wouldn't mind so much if I knew why.

Why are you saying this to me? I have never said that Jesus is not God here on this thread or anywhere else.

Scriptures unread in the Book make no decisions. Men make decisions and God makes decisions. Men's decisions made in their own old spirit are at best temporal. A heretic should be one who knowing what God requires, chooses to go his own way.

God would indeed be grieved if a person made it too much of an issue for the wrong reasons and insisted that others agree with him. Hopefully no one here ever does that! But... unfortunately I believe that some do it at least at times.

Heresy? What is this and who decides that someone is a heretic? Who decides what should be done with one determined to be a heretic?

The Golden Rule, "Do onto others as you would have them do onto you" is a step up from where most of us begin. Jesus did not abrogate the Golden Rule. His example and his words show rather that He showed us a higher place when and if we are able to see it and also to do it. "And as ye would...
