"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6 Regardless of denomination or church affiliation or the lack thereof, Jesus is the truth we are to love. Can we love him without knowing him perfectly? Should not our vision of Him...

We are to be growing. Growth means things are changing, which means we are becoming more like Jesus. God looks at what we have been given and what we have done with it. Not everyone has been given the same things and not everyone has used what they have been given in the same way. Jesus speaks...

They keep on asking for God help, as all of us should be doing daily, and keep on loving the truth, which is Jesus, even when we are still only seeing him as through a glass darkly.

See my post #37 which explains how I seek to avoid ever being deluded or to get out of any delusion. The delusions come because we do not love truth [ II Thess 2:10-11 ]. If we always love the truth, we will never be deluded. One thing is going to the "lowest room" regularly and another thing...

The answer is that a person who has the Holy Ghost within who is always listening to and following the lead of the Holy Ghost will always knows what he needs to know when he needs to know it.

I hope you will always get it right by following what you see as a general rule.

When people interpret the scriptures themselves instead of allowing the Holy Spirit to teach or interpret they make mistakes, mistakes that can cost them more than they want to pay. The problem of course is that almost everyone who has received the Holy Spirit too often quenches the Holy Spirit...

If we are walking with God when the situation is before us to deal with then God will tells us how to deal with it. You want a general rule which may work most of the time, but we may find ourselves in trouble when the general rule does not apply. "The steps of a good man are ordered by the...

Rather it is a dead carcass which needs to be brought to Life by the Holy Spirit in order to become the Word of God.

And/or many men move into and out of the Spirit instead of staying in it continuously. And then a real lack of charity between those who differ in points builds up an often impenetrable wall between them.

"He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30

Well as per the verse cited, His sheep do know his voice. When we know we are hearing from Him then it would follow that we are his sheep. The problem as you would point out is that some will decide that they are hearing Him when they really are not. They may be deluded or some may simply be...

Yes, I am here. I am not much on computer games, but perhaps this is a worth while idea. No skype here either. Perhaps rather than each person having one partner, once a list is established the person at the top makes up his/her message/prayer and passes it to the next one on the list. As new...

@quietthinker Hold on to the positive. You're in my prayers.

Don't put words in my mouth. God may have called many more men than women in the OT, but there is no doubt that He also called women for His reasons at His times. You seem to be familiar with the scriptures so I leave it to you... That is a comprehensive and negative statement which I...

What verse in the NT specifically forbids them? Are you dictating what God can and cannot do or are you drawing final conclusions from what you have seen as often being the practice? But then again as to the revelation in written scriptures, the Bible was written by men inspired by the Holy...

Anyone who claims to be part of the Church, but is not in submission to the Bridegroom even if he it is a physical male is missing the boat... is missing being a part of the whole Body of Christ. Yes, the physical married couple also should act properly toward each other, and if both do it will...

The fact that men make foolish choices doesn't change the fact that they do. God only placed one very simple restriction on Adam and Eve. Why did they disobey? The problem for them as for us is stated by the apostle Paul: "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I...

Many variables, but still only two choices: serve God or not.

Every person is free to choose God... or not. This is the only free will we really have. It is never lost before we have finished our course. With Adam and Eve it was a simple choice of eat [Not choosing God] or don't eat [choosing God]. Joshua expands a little but the essence of the two...
