    Regarding the Holy Spirit and His gifts I believe...

    Some people may certainly go by their feelings rather than following the Holy Ghost as they make their decisions about attending church and about God. However, do you presume that no one is really led by God today? Do you so easily put God in a box and limit the Holy One of Israel? Again, I...

    And so you decided that the best thing for you to do was to quench the Spirit of God and to teach others that it was always wrong for everyone to do it. Who elevated you to that calling?

    Perhaps the problem is in some of those denominations or individuals who do not speak in tongues... as you say spontaneously. You speaking of 'coaching', but does not the place you attend coach you not to surrender to the Spirit to stand and testify just because you feel the words burning down...

    Because you apparently saw some error in some people you chose to throw out the whole thing? Would you do that with the Bible because you encountered some discrepancies you could not explain? Do you understand all of the mind of God always? "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are...

    And what my friend is a cult? You speak of trusting in the scriptures, but how do you define a cult? Did you get your definition from the scriptures? Only God is invincible? Anyone who is not always on His side will stumble. The problem with people, believers, is that instead of always being in...

    I did base what I said on scripture. You simply disagreed with the interpretations although you usually did not even directly address the scriptures I cited. According to me I was led by the Holy Ghost. But, no one can prove anyone right or wrong except by the power of God in Him. Even when a...

    I do? Are you able to cite a scripture that says that? What happens if I am simply following as the Holy Ghost teaches me? "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, whatsoever I...

    To hell with me

    Not in the way you mean, I believe. Rather I am not a supporter of what is a belief held by many known as OSAS [Once Saved Always Saved]. I strive to live for God 24/7 and with a few stumblings along the way have been doing so since 1976.

    To hell with me

    But He will only consume those things which are combustible: Wood, hay and stubble. The gold, silver and precious stones will simply be purified or cleaned up. What is it we are? Are we or do we have any dead wood, hay and stubble? If those things are burned from us, will anything be left? Of...

    No my friend, you cannot prove anything to anyone who does not already agree with you. If they follow you instead of Jesus and you are wrong then will you not both fall in a ditch? "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing...

    What Apostle Paul wrote was this: "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Rom 10:17 "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." Matt 11:15 The "hearing" comes by the Word of God, but what is that? Is not the Word of God alive? Are all of the Bibles sitting on shelves...

    Regarding the Holy Spirit and His gifts I believe...

    Be careful what we believe? We must put things in the right order according to the priority Jesus gave us as per: "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt 6:33 If from the depths of our heart we are seeking first things...

    Regarding the Holy Spirit and His gifts I believe...

    You say "I can prove", but again we do not live for God by proof but by faith: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Heb 11:1 "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet...

    The Way my friend is Jesus. You are in effect condemning a lot of people because of your legalisms, not to mention limiting God. People do limit God, but it is an inadvisable practice. You had better re-read the verses I posted. Covet the earnestly best gifts. With God all things are possible...

    "And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." Mark 10:27 "Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret...

    Hers began in about 1989. She fought that battle to breathe for many years. She was on a daily dose of steroids [Prednizone] for more than 20 years and it permanently damaged her immune system. The asthma was effectively gone several years ago, but getting off the steroids was another thing. She...

    Can Satan create?

    The simple answer to the question of what or who is the Word of God, is Jesus. When a person says that Bible, the paper pages with inked words printed on them, is the Word of God, how correct are they? Is Jesus the book? Just what is Jesus? Just what is it we are to eat and drink? "Then Jesus...

    Can Satan create?

    Oh I do agree with you. "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." John 1:3 From the beginning of His creation, God had a complete plan which left out nothing. What we have, each real believer, is a vision of His plan, which is seen by us "as through...

    Kathy is doing pretty well at the moment. As for Nancy, she is overwhelmed continuously with Kevin, but she has at least resigned herself to it... if she is able to handle it. All things going well, we plan to visit them before winter hits us if only for a day. These old bodied cannot help her...
