    I was not talking about any group of men of flesh as a whole or what any such group be they labeled as Christian or Catholic or Islamic or Mormon or JW or other. No one person can join God and His Son by going through any group's rituals or prescribed pathway and never connecting directly with...

    I believe that I do, at least in part, twinc. Understanding what you mean, of course, does not mean agreeing with you on each point, does it?

    Being able to mouth the words, does not imply that a person also has understanding: "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts." Prov 21:2 "O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps" Jerem 10:23...

    @BreadOfLife I cannot judge who is wrong. That seems to a job to which you have appointed yourself. I will only say that God is always right. When you or I are on His side then at that point you or I are right. When you or I are NOT on His side, then at that point you or I are wrong. Give...

    "And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that...

    You really don't understand what a Christian really should be, do you? You don't understand what Christ is. The man who has the right heart for God is the follower of Christ, without regard to the label that men or church has assigned to him.

    And if you were to receive from God a seemingly contradictory message as Hosea did where would parroting your leaders get you? In a lot of trouble with God. "And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?" Luke 6:39 If it is your...

    Following Jesus is a whole Way of life. The fact that some may lose their way or never properly find it does not mean that the Way is wrong. It means that they have erred. Men do that including Christians, Muslims and others. "Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto...

    Praying in the Spirit

    Jesus was tempted as a man. Because he was the Word of God he had the answer to every temptation. [So do we with Holy Ghost and the Word in us.] I do not believe that he sinned by asking for relief from what he already knew were the contents of the cup: suffering of extreme pain and death. He...

    Unless a person just jumps on your band wagon with both feet you have no charity, but from what I have seen your wagon travels with no passengers... Would even even Jesus be allowed to ride if he failed to kowtow?

    Are Beliefs and Faith the Same?

    Sometimes I just want to kick myself for trying. Reading and trying to understand the other person's viewpoint would at least make it a discussion... even if no one changed on a single point.

    It really is a very reasonable conclusion based on what is written in scripture. Since you cannot prove the wrong of it, why not leave it lay? Is agreement on this point necessary to the discussion of being born again?

    Nothing wrong with those words. They also come from the scripture. Of course people differ on interpretations and even on who may give an interpretation.

    Aye that phrase about not being able to serve two masters also came to my mind. Yes, to share all that we possess with everyone equally without question is a difficult one. While I could cite verses showing that we are only stewards and not owners or heirs yet. My wallet rarely has much in it...

    So then be helpful here and point out to me what I said that Jesus said which according to you he did not say.

    Praying in the Spirit

    What is it that we want? What is it that God's wants? When our answer to the two questions is exactly the same then are we not in the Spirit of God with that answer? So then are there not many questions which could and/or should be and are asked by each of us and God will respond favorably...

    Why do you doubt it? It is in the scripture. I use the KJV Bible, but you could find it also in your own preferred version.

    He may hate you for what you are manifesting on the one hand, but he is loving what you have accomplished on the other hand. This is a major difference between working for men and working for God. Why would you say that that is the case?
