How many people who believe disagree with others who believe exactly the same thing in that regard? The final authority is NOT the written Bible, but God. God needs no one to interpret for Him when He speaks directly to us, but by even resorting to a written Bible we have already made an...

By those with "ears to hear". Then comes the question if not furnished with them from the start, where does a person get such ears?

If by that you are saying that the orthodox are the most correct you really need to consider Jesus. Likely he was the most unorthodox man who ever walked on planet Earth... at least as most men see him. I wish that I could always be as unorthodox as He was in all of the same places that He was...

Aren't you presuming that the ONLY source of information from God is the book we call the Bible? What do we suppose this verse means? "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...

Where we differ in our understanding is in what the Word of God is. It is rich and nothing has been stripped from it when it comes directly from the source to us... but the written Bible is not the source but only a vessel full of potential. The potential can become a reality only when quickened...

What Jesus said in Matt 5:6 is not just a verse to read or memorize but a promise to anyone who is sincerely seeking God and is sincerely seeking to be what God's want them to be. This would have been true when Abraham walked the land; or when Elijah was running away from Jezebel; or when one of...

Would you advise someone to go study and obey the law given Moses when Jesus is readily available to whosoever will? Would you prefer that people read the words on your arm rather than the Spirit manifested by the way you live? Which one is your testimony?

Did you not understand what I wrote? "And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?" Matt 15:16

But, it seems to me you are advising or suggesting it is better to walk around old Jerusalem telling people to make their sacrifices as per the law given to Moses instead of going to listen to the Master who is teaching to anyone that would listen in this very place. If our hearts are right...

The point of the verse cited [Matt 5:6] is that when someone has the proper hunger and thirst, God will fill him, whether He uses a Bible to do it, or someone like Philip when the Ethiopian eunuch was unable to understand what he read. We may miss a person's real need, but God will NOT...

In addition to all of this or in spite of it Paul warns us with this verse: "Quench not the Spirit." I Thess 5:19 Why...? Because if we do quench the Spirit of God within us there is no power to wield or hold in position any of the cited parts of the whole armour of God. That is the problem a...

But do you not believe that God is able to get His message across in just about any translation to a person whose heart is hungering and thirsting for the right things? "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." Matt 5:6

And also here? "From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?" James 4:1

Even so, and consider also the reaction of Peter when walking the water. He took his eyes off of Jesus and became fearful of the fearsome tempest all around him... "But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me." Matt 14:30 He called...

Amen and then again: "Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes." Song of Solomon 2:15

Welcome to the forum and... Give God the glory!

@DoveSpirit05 Just keep on at it with God and He will use you whether your music is included or not. God gave us all the talents we have. We need to work at using them all as He directs us... but don't be too disappointed if all people don't approve. Jesus never missed a beat but his enemies...

An odd religion consisting of peculiar people admittedly and I would guess also purposely: "[our Savior Jesus Christ] Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works."Titus 2:14 "But ye are a chosen...

Many times I have read about and posted posts about the three levels of the ark built by Noah and wondering, at least to myself, how one could manage to move from one level to the next higher one. Perhaps when we have reached a "perfection" at the level where we are, God may place a new obstacle...

Joining forces is, or should be, what the Body of Christ is doing as we all join with one another and subject ourselves to the Head, really letting Him be the Head. Then again who are the parts of the Body? Is everyone claiming to be really a part or will they all be a part? This may be part of...
