Yes and one more time it is to Nehushtan so many rush with outstretched arms!

Living for God hard is easy, but living for God easy is hard! We were never promised a bed of roses without thorns in this natural life of the flesh. "Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if...

When we do perform those works of the flesh after having encountered and entered into the better Way, what was out expectation? Did we expect God to accept our repentance one more time? If we did were we not tempting God? While so tempting God, if we were to run out of time, would we reached the...

How many of them, I wonder, would have a clear and sincere testimony of God calling them to the ministry?

I have never gone around asking the questions you apparently were asking but I visited many and usually had a better response from the small or "hole in the wall" church groups than from larger "better" organized groups. [This period of visiting ended for me more than 15 years ago.] In the past...

What does it means to live by faith in God rather than by faith in men and what men can provide in the way of tithes or offerings or salaries? Do any of them really strive to live according to this? "... It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of...

I am glad you put 'their "church"' in quotation marks. Should you also have raised a question about what a pastor is these days? Is it the same as a shepherd of sheep? How many shepherd preach to their flock? How many of them are more concerned about keeping "their flock" for themselves than...

And then thank God for the exceptions? That is those who refuse to be indoctrinated [brainwashed?]!

@bbyrd009 Perhaps first someone might clarify just what it means to ordain a person and what man, if any, is qualified to ordain another?

I am not certain we are disagreeing. Going off alone and immersing ourselves then in the life of hermit and not partaking in much of anything of the material things around us is NOT where we [perhaps with exceptions?] should be. God made everything very good and He made man so that man could...

Most church groups [assemblies] in my experience do not allow the Spirit to lead. They set up their own hierarchies and rules and prescribed programs; and then within those boundaries they may say they allow the Spirit to lead, but from I have seen being led by the Spirit is a rare thing in such...

Indeed, what makes an apostle and apostle? By scripture alone how difficult is it to write an accurate definition?

It should be, but as we know, people will differ sharply in what they call "biblical" doctrine and/or what they call apostolic.

Some of the Oneness Jesus Only churches use the word, Apostolic, as a part of their title. I belonged to two different ones that did that in my own history. One of them consisted primarily of black members and the other one consisted primarily of Hispanic members. However the largest of the...

That which is usually "not dead yet" is the flesh and the ways of the flesh in a man. One who has only the flesh and the ways of the flesh will have nothing at all remaining when his flesh returns to the dust. On the other hand one who has Life [the Life which Jesus is] should be working on...

"If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true." John 5:31-32

Yes, His sheep are empowered but if they fail to properly use that God given power, then they are to blame for their own loss.

God certainly has the power and whatever power we have that can get the job done right has been provided by Him. Alone we can do nothing, but with God in us, all things are possible. God does expect us to do all that we can and being then on His side, He will supply whatever is necessary...

@marks Listen to the lady, my friend! She often speaks with wisdom from God... although some will also attack her!

For me I see no physical place apart from us. Heaven is three fold and all three are within us or for us no where at all. There is apparently a physical for the man of flesh, but again for me it is the fictional that man is able to perceive through his five senses and contemplate with the brain...
