    Mature Spiritual Christians No Longer Need the Written Word?

    Why is it you always speak from a presumed place of knowledge but never share that purported knowledge with those of us you accuse of ignorance? Also you make a habit of misquoting or otherwise misstating what someone else has said. "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall...

    The human part also did not want to suffer and die as we see when he prays in the garden of Gethsemene three times for His Father to remove the "cup" that would be his to drink.

    Mature Spiritual Christians No Longer Need the Written Word?

    Very simply you did not read carefully or correctly understand what I wrote. I never admitted nor confirmed ignorance. I was asking some questions which is not the same thing at all. No one has attempted to answer my questions.

    I agree that you misunderstand what he means.

    This presumes that you speak God's truth without error to point your finger like this. It would appear to me rather that you do not understand what you think you understand.

    Yes, perhaps representing what a true believer in God should be doing... loving God seemingly without the presence of God as a witness. Everyone wants the advertised rewards without being willing to give or even to be the necessary sacrifice. "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies...

    Am I? What is the measure of a heretical believer? Who applies the yardstick? If the Bible is to be the yardstick, should we call on a Catholic, a Methodist, a Presbyterian, a Southern Baptist, a Pentecostal or Mormon, a Jehovah Witness or a Quaker... or some other un associated believer to take...

    But where the word came from and what people use it for now are hardly the same, are they? To be in a cult now is according to the way many bearing the name "Christian" use it is an evil place to be. Of course, when we consider how many bearing the name "Christian" manifest themselves [in...

    Mature Spiritual Christians No Longer Need the Written Word?

    Who was it that said the "written Word" was no longer needed? Can you show us a single quote from anyone who said that specifically? I don't think you are able to post a single quote to that effect by anyone who has posted on this thread as of this date. You started off with a presumption in...

    Again even in this you are not interested in really discussing your own question... only in declaring its correctness. You have decided you are right [which is OK for we all may be guilty of this], but you have no real interest in even reading much less considering what anyone honestly opposing...

    Could it be that the flesh of the man, Jesus, really felt deserted? I know already the counter arguments that some will make here, but the ones that most insist on scripture will probably be hard put to support their ideas with scriptures. Rather simply more of this kind of response: "Believe...

    This is also part and parcel of your topic if you are able to see it. I am not psychoanalyzing anyone. I expressed what I see from what has been written on this thread as well as by God in the scriptures. As long as people are more interested in patting each other on the back than really...

    What it will take is God. Only He gives any real increase to anyone. Anyone who is really hungry and thirsty for His righteousness will certainly be filled [Matt 5:6]

    If you don't understand then either I am wrong or you have missed the boat or even both. I have pronounced no judgment. Rather I have expressed what I received from your responses here. Let us pray that God will lead us both along His pathway without regard to who else is or is not walking on it...

    Faith or sin

    If I haven't missed the whole question consider this: Look at it also in the beginning of Saul and David as kings of Israel. Both were anointed by the same prophet [Samuel] with the same Spirit to be kings of Israel, but what did each do with what he was given? When each one made mistakes how...

    Spiritual Growth

    "Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit." II Cor 5:5 This means that there is more to come if we move forward with Him. The "earnest" money in a home purchase situation puts on hold on the home and the home will be...

    Sometimes it appears to me you have done well in staying on God's side, but then at other times it seems you rather quickly jump on the bandwagon of the party to which you want to belong. The Book of James especially comes to mind.

    No, while you may indeed have a vivid imagination that dream was not something you cooked up, but God's message to you and to us...! Give God the glory!

    "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." John 15:5 Exactly so! Without Jesus we have chosen nothingness which is where everyone without Jesus and God will remain, which means no where. This...
