QUOTE (ami @ Mar 14 2009, 03:52 AM) My friend and I have been discussing and debating for the past three days on who the Holy Spirit is and if God live in people. My friend who is a Christian says the Holy Spirit is the breath of God, as it is mentioned in Genesis when God breathed in to Adam’s...

Gods wrath is reserved for the wicked, not the righteous.When we submit ourself to the will of God and his ordinances for righteous living we are not subject to carnal laws for we attain a higher calling. It is milk to obey simple ordinances of carnality when we operate out of the righteousness...

QUOTE QUOTE (followerofchrist @ Feb 17 2009, 08:17 PM) I have read much in scripture of God hardening the hearts of people and of some just having heardend hearts. The meaning here is quite clear. What use is a heardened heart? Does it feel, does it compassion, does it love as Christ loves...

QUOTE (For Life @ Feb 28 2009, 10:10 AM) How do you start doing it? How do you listen to the Spirit and become guided by the Spirit? Does God help with this or does it require me to do something first? How do I know it is the Spirit of the Lord that is directing me and not something else...

QUOTE QUOTE (shutin45 @ Feb 26 2009, 10:16 PM) Thanks for those Verses. I don't fornicate or have problems with such anymore, not since my teen years, but I do smoke.Went through a terrible bout of depression for years and ended up in despair wanting to die, and let my physical health go WAY...

QUOTE A couple of further thoughts and a question,First, my question, related to sins quenching the Spirit:Is not taking care of Gods Temple - our bodies - a sin? I think it is, but because this applies to me, I might be "blinded" or misled (both by evil - not blinded by God). I can't seem to...

QUOTE The fact that the spiritual forces of evil include rulers, authorities, and powers indicates that there is a demonic hierarchy or chain of command. But what do these rulers rule over? Disregarding the "hierarchy" for now, consider this condensed point.Satan is the father of lies. All the...

Not sure what point you are trying to make here. By this statement; QUOTE “People do not have to deserve or merit our love or gifts. It is our nature to give.” Where are you claiming our love originates from, certainly not from us naturally?QUOTE Ga 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love...

It is exhausting to read through the redundant debates between Spirit filled Christians and those that do not have the Spirit.1. Is the gift of tongues real?2. Are the gifts of the Spirit for us today?3. How do you know which interpretation to believe?4. How do you know you’re really saved?5...

The sun rises on a new morning and goes unseen by the anxiety of mans labors.A mans life is wasted by the work he assumes he must pursue and accomplish. He seeks to provide and maintain a mortal living for himself and his family, as though he can influence any positive results or gain for...

QUOTE (RichardBurger @ Feb 18 2009, 07:41 AM) What a joke! I have never denied scripturers. What I have said is that some are not written to the Gentile church. Since you believe the scriptrures have you sold youir house yet? FOOLISHNESS! Have you put a snake up on a pole yet? Where is the...

QUOTE (Copper25 @ Feb 16 2009, 01:13 PM) 1 Corinthians 3:19) For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.How often, how long has society and the world rejected the knowledge of God. Hosea 4:6) “My people are destroyed for...

My comment: If my teaching was from men the religious on this forum would love me. Dont confuse "correction" with "persecution."And persecution is "for Christs sake."

Do we still sin? As the “elect” we do not sin willfully as Paul stated;Ro 7:14 ¶ For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. Ro 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. Ro 7:16 If then I do that which I would...

Is that FDA approved seed? I see another strategy of the enemy in this modern age that would threaten to stagnate evangelism and bring us to a stalemate in teaching the truth to those who would find Christ. In today’s modern world education has become a common abundant commodity, available to...

I see it necessary to shed some light on this subject because of the way we have been "programmed" to understand it. It was sometime in the 70’s when the idea (of Spiritual warfare) really caught on in force with a multitude of denominations. However, it also gained a corrupted definition by...

QUOTE -No matter how you want to claim your thread is not about works it is obvious that it is. You are hear telling others that they must work to bear fruit and then you say that the children of God will do those works but it seems not unless persons, like you, tell them to. Bearing fruit is...

QUOTE (RichardBurger @ Feb 14 2009, 11:17 AM) First of all I don't have any problems.You said: "I would suggest you re-read my posts again and take notice that I claim no power or ability to do any good work by my own strength. It is only through the Spirit that we can do anything that...

QUOTE (followerofchrist @ Feb 14 2009, 11:00 AM) I recently tried reading the book of Ecclesiastes and I didn't get very far into chapter one before I was totally confused!! Could somebody please explain to me what is going on in this book because I must be missing something here. A basic...

QUOTE (RichardBurger @ Feb 14 2009, 09:48 AM) Your whole assumption is that a person has to, by their own will and effort, do good works. So tell me, how is that being lead by the Spirit to do good works?I have NEVER said that a child of God will not do good works but that is what some will...
