Charity is described in these verses: "Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the...

Yes, that is simply another Bible translation. Love in the one is called Charity in another

"Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away." I Cor 13:8 As goes the tongues, so also goes the knowledge and so also goes the prophecies, so if tongues are gone and the...

Thanks.

Probably some of these pastors and ministers swing back and forth in their service between the right hand and the left hand of God. They may be deluded in a measure but whose fault is that? If one loves the truth always, will God not always bring him into the proper place?

I would say the person was dead [spiritually dead to God] when he entered the funeral home [a very dead church group dealing in dead doctrines & such] and instead of helping him to find and receive the Life which Jesus offered to whosoever will, they bound him up in their own doctrines of death...

Thank you for your kindly answer. Since we do not know more it could be just as you say with regard to Timothy. The two incidents are both mentioned in scripture and could help us see the necessity of growth to according to God's plan.

OK

Of course not many details are available, but it does appear that Paul did effectively the same thing in this instance that he accused Peter of doing in Gal 2: 11-21.

Your excerpt was good, because without the rest of it many people including some who called themselves Christians would easily have jumped on the bandwagon with him and Mr. Hitler. Actually, when he was not trimming his own statements many people did follow the Nazi lead because they did not...

If you don't mind me asking: Just who exactly is satan? People throw the word around regularly without explanations. Who is he [if that is the correct pronoun] and where did he come from?

Mr Goebbels understood a bit about people even if he did not understand about God. What he said could easily be applied to nearly any existing church group including yours or mine if we were to look only at the words of those speaking in support of them without seeing anything of their hearts.

Precisely old friend. Who says who exactly is quenching the Spirit? It is my words against your words. Actually as I said in my post #311 to @bbyrd009 there is a problem of witnesses. Who was Jesus witness? Who is mine? Who is yours? This is why God doesn't pay attention to the words of any...

Yes, it is, but as you know, not all witnesses are good ones. Consider the false witnesses who Jezebel used to have Naboth stoned to death so that Ahab could get the piece of land he wanted [I Kings 21]. They used the written law to accomplish what would to have beenan abomination to God. Today...

Don't be adding to what I said, twinc. I believe I am right as you believe that you are right. Who is right on any point is God's decision, not yours or mine. Anyone who loves God hears from God. The problem is that we also hear other voices inherent to our own flesh and/or a devil. The Apostle...

You won't give up even when there is no reason to pursue anything. Likely our understandings would be similar if not for the definitions. But... only God gives the increase. Hey, I also am only living by faith until God finishes the work in me.

You misunderstand the verses you cite and as to your experience, even if very bad, the errors of some people are not the errors of all. This is why judgment belongs not to us, but to God.

And you still don't understand what charity is nor how unimportant knowledge is in comparison. The verses I quoted are also in the Catholic Bibles So then what do these words written by Solomon mean? "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise." Prov 11:30

@BreadOfLife How many souls do you suppose you won today with your charity and your unmatched knowledge? "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand...

And that one word my friend does not mean all that you have wanted it to mean. The scripture provided here by myself and others [for example @ScottA ]have shown that. To throw those aside you use your definitions and those of your church as if they were also inspired by God. They are not...
