I don't just accept anything as an all done type of thing. For me it is to be a 24/7 surrender to Him. For me He is first and I still mess up, but each time that happens I look to Him again for my help. The work is not finished until my time is finished, which is not yet. Yes, let us all look...

I am sorry but we differ considerably in some places. I would have to write almost a book and to whom would it be edifying? Only God gives the increase!

Not every member of the Body of Christ is a hand or a finger or a foot or an ear. That which is your calling [@Keraz] is not necessarily the calling of every other member of the Body. The verse quoted [Matt 6:33] was for seemingly everyone... but... "For the body is not one member, but many."...

And when a man, or a devil or satan misuses scripture against God or a servant of God, is that scripture 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 hands they shall bear...

I believe that the Bible contains all the information we ultimately need, but until it is all understood the one who reads or studies it remains incomplete. Is this incomplete in knowledge only? Can a person please God and remain with Him always with incomplete knowledge? I do believe so but the...

The Word of God is alive, but the unopened unread Bible is dead. Even the Bible read by a person without the quickening of the Holy Spirit is dead. Consider the well studied atheist!

The horse you are riding is still dead.

Precisely! Strange that we agree on this and yet remain so far apart.

So then leave it in God's capable hands. If we follow Him, we will not go wrong, will we?

But the Word of God is NOT the dead Bible. That is the flesh of Jesus which we are to eat, but we must also drink his blood. If we do not, the flesh remains dead and we remain dead.

Even if they did exist only in scripture, as the verse I cited indicates, it is the spirit [Spirit] that quickens them. Otherwise they are like the unresurrected Jesus on the cross... a dead body. Jesus did resurrect and so may his body when we consume it and it is quickened within us...

Are you saying the verse I quoted is in error or that you do not understand it or that I do not understand it? I only quoted the verse. I provided not interpretation. I have read and studied the scriptures for many years [since 1976] and have been on online forums like this one for nearly 20...

The written words are dead until and if they are quickened in a person by the Holy Spirt. This is why there are so many contradictory doctrines put forth based sometimes on exactly the same written verses of scripture. Some or all person involved are at times quenching the Holy Spirit.

You certainly misunderstand according to what I see... "And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice" John 10:4 The "eyes to see" and the "ears to hear" come through the Holy Spirit in us. This is how we hear His voice. When...

No one can live for God by the Bible alone. If a person is really living for God the Holy Spirit has something to do with it. So my friend, it you are living for God in any measure you are being led in that measure by the Holy Spirit even if you do not recognize it

Even so my friend, it is not you nor is it I who decides where another should place his faith. Perhaps you can make it along the way you travel, but then you speak of the 'ravings' of others as if you had it all and they were missing something important. They may indeed may be missing something...

@prashanthd I am praying for you and for your country. Our God is able, but we must trust Him even when we cannot see all of the bumps in the road on which He leads us.

My friend it is ONLY by faith that anyone starts and continues his walk with God. When you teach and preach a lack of faith should you really be expecting to receive a blessing from God? "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not...

"Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Matt 6:34

And the Thread title question was: Who are the children of God? Yet in five pages of posts only 4 posts addressed that question directly. Those who addressed it were: @Phoneman777 [writer of op] @Taken @07-07-07 @tooldtocare First the children of God come into being where and how? And then...
