    Why did God...

    Saul already needed a thorn to keep from becoming conceited due to the greatness of his revelations. How would he fare if he didn't consider himself the chief of sinners? Stephen being martyred was a great event, probably achieving more for the kingdom than had he continued living this life...

    Regarding the following 1. The Bible says in 2 Timothy 4:4 "They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths". The verse continues, "For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit...

    What makes a doctrine false?

    In this Jesus asked an evasive question that required more faith than the religious leader was willing to muster. Because that leader was not ready to say Jesus is God. Jesus was also not ready to declare his nature publicly so he allowed people to make their own assumptions. What was...

    The Only Way We Will Ever Agree

    These are my thoughts on the matter: An interpretation of the scriptures that is discerned by the Spirit of God is essential to knowing its true meeting. You can tell if someone is angrily pushing their interpretation that they are operating by the flesh and their interpretations worth nothing...

    The Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit

    People still perform miracles through the Holy Spirit. John 14:12 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. It's possible for the miracles to be ascribed to the devil. It...

    Does God answer by our casting lot?

    No problem, just wanted to clarify for anyone reading the quotes.

    Does God answer by our casting lot?

    I also don't subscribe to the use of the term paraclete. You don't see the NT authors referring to the Holy Spirit in this impersonal way. And also in a way that depends on a interpretation of a verse that could just as easily be referring to the spinal cord.

    Does God answer by our casting lot?

    Does God answer by our casting lot?

    You didn't quote me properly and made it imply that I said it is impossible to know the will of God from the Holy Spirit. That is not what I said. Though from my experience God doesn't entertain or interject into every idle thought. But you would be surprised by what and when he chooses to step in.

    Does God answer by our casting lot?

    Ever wonder why the process of selecting the Pope is a secret? Speculation aside, it is embarrassing when we can't divine the will of God despite having his spirit living inside us.

    Homosexuality: Wrong or Right?

    1. It contains universal law, but the entirety is not universal so the law of Moses was not for canaan. 2. If people followed their conscience it wouldn't have been a problem. But we don't, so the conscience is corrupted. Contributing to the downfall of nations that reject God. 3. Thanks for...
