    The Holy Spirit

    "But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister...

    To church or not to church

    I do still attend regularly, but I am waiting for my pastor's end. When he is gone (presuming he will predecease me), I know of no place that I will be able to join, although likely I will visit different places at times.

    Do you pray in the spirit?

    Unfortunately there is too much of that. That is why there are not many places where a person can really be fed the flesh and blood of Jesus.

    Do you pray in the spirit?

    As someone else has already quoted here on this thread: "To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a...

    Do you pray in the spirit?

    Of course if it were really babble it might be better if you did not go that route especially if you had already moved up from milk to meat.

    Do you pray in the spirit?

    Yes, praying in tongues makes it possible to pray right in spite of seemingly unbelievable circumstances. If we knew what it was we were praying for we might get in our own way because we did not understand God's purpose. Consider Peter: Why was it that Peter rebuked Jesus when Jesus spoke of...

    Heaven ?

    Not the same place? Remembering that our God is a consuming fire look at these verses: "Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Therefore because the king's commandment was...

    It is not in the bible.....sola scripture

    Give God alone the glory my friend. Sometimes it takes a second touch from the Master for our eyes to open wide and see what He is showing us.

    ~ REAL CHRISTIANS ~

    Nothing silly about shedding tears. My dear old pastor is feeble in the flesh, but when he cries tears from behind the pulpit, which happens often, you know that he is in the Spirit. Like many good people here...we know how weak our Old Man is and how it rises up and blocks the true light of...

    ~ REAL CHRISTIANS ~

    I am back, dear sister in Christ. Within me still is that 'old man' spirit that keeps pressing to regain what it has lost in me: the dominion. Sometimes I have allowed the flesh to linger too long or I have failed to surrender anew as I should to Jesus as often as is needed. Always back to...

    Theory of Evolution

    Sometimes people already have an idea in their mind as to what you or me are or where we stand with God or what we believe. With those preconceived notions they may then move rapidly forward in their own misconceptions. This is from this kind of a situation perhaps that God gave Paul these words...

    I believe that you really believe that. I certainly do not.

    It is not in the bible.....sola scripture

    Sorry! I guess it is because I am not responding to a specific real problem. Hypothetically I could perhaps make a response, but if it is only me talking rather than God talking through me how likely am I to be right? God is never wrong.

    It is not in the bible.....sola scripture

    What did the early prophets read when they did not have a written Book? What was it that some of them wrote, which we now name as scripture?

    It is not in the bible.....sola scripture

    I apologize for my errors here. I simply am what I am and often that is not so good. The good thing is that God is in the low places as well as the high ones. Please keep me in prayer. I wonder how twinc is today.

    It is not in the bible.....sola scripture

    The important things should be found according to this verse, no? "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Matt 18:20 Then must come the explanation for any who do not understand what it means to be "in my [Jesus'] name"...

    The evidence, if there is evidence, is in the heart of the person who received it. Probably not admissible in any court of men, but that is the way that it is.

    It is not in the bible.....sola scripture

    None of the ones included in those listed in the yellow pages in any city. Rather the community of believers consisting of the ones so elected by God. How could I a mere human be more specific than that? I do not believe that each person can have their own interpretation of scripture and be...

    It is not in the bible.....sola scripture

    You had best read the book of Hosea and decide for yourself. While you are reading it and contemplating any answer you might consider also why is it God did not let David receive the punishment which he deserved for murdering Uriah and committing adultery with the man's wife?
