Takes alot more than that to get me riled, thats why i stated i was not a rookie. Its hard to take it too personal when ya been around awhile eh?

hi Stan, I am not a rookie to christian forums so I am not surprised or dismayed that others are unclear as kneejerk reactions to things never said are common place in forums. My post is framed just fine if people actually read it properly, or if unsure the onus is on others to seek...

hi NC, Amen. "for if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself" 2 Tim 2:13. Henceforth i agree the Father did not, would not, nay could not forsake His Son and therefore also deny Himself. Neither will he forsake us.

Not so my friend, as a man thinketh in his heart (theology) so he is. I didnt intend to say that there were not lovely people in each group. What I was asking was Does your theology lead to true Christ-likeness? Please read the OP carefully folks, I was asking what is others observations of...

Yes i agree that its easy to speak christianeze if were not careful to be sincere, but i take the literal bible verses literally like a little child. We should also take the conditions set forth to obtain the promises and avoid the curses, for "without a cause the curse does not alight". The...

This is not intended as a mud slinging, point at the log in the others eye discussion/debate. The premise set here is that right theology proves itself by its fruit. Does belief in unshakeable eternal security from new birth till death produce good fruit, ie repentance from sin and faith...

Hi Angelina, are you agreeing with his statements and sentiments? I couldnt get past his first quip about Jer 29:11 not being for all believers. Strange that because i take all the promises in the bible as yes and amen.

The short version is that i had made a mess of my life, and at age 28 i cried out in anguish "God i dont want to live like this anymore"! I didnt believe God was real, but He heard my cry, and i was led to phone a number in the yellow pages. The guy invited me to meal and i ended up doing a 6...

There are conditions (atmosphere) that we can fulfill, that make it irresistible for God to not come down and wash us aflood with His power and glory. 2 Chron 7:14 KJV 1. If my people who are called by my Name - Born again believers 2. Will humble themselves - Admit helplessness and reliance...

Hi Marilyn, thanks for the link, i look forward to watching it. I do know of Andrew Strom (of course lol) and went to a meeting of his in Auckland once, He also read Finney and was impacted to push for revival. If we all push together the walls will come down. 2 Chron 7:14 is a promise for...

The customs given to Israel were to seperate them from other nations and therefore make plain that the God they served was distinct from all the so called gods. God used this to make them a light to other nations and point them to Himself, but the Jews became a shameful example and disgraced...

yep brown bread and milk heated over a boiling jug, placed on boil with patch of linen then bandaged. Next day big hole, no pus, no more boil. But i remember it was a little painful to start with, and mum always tested the heat on her chin. So one day after she was no longer with us and as an...

hi Marilyn, I first travelled to Zambia of all places. After reading of the revivals God did through Charles Finney and Father Nash (Nash was the unseen force and intercessor) i so longed to see a revival with real Christian fruits that i was willing to do anything and go anywhere. So when I...

yep some for me and some for the master, yummy but only earnt $60 for a long days work, packed in and took the train back to Melbourne. Really? you did Te Nikau bible school lol. I did 10 day summmer soul school about 1992. I live in Hamilton, born n raised 20kms out east of it, but i started...

hi Jaybird its good you believe Gods miracles actually happened. Some scriptures are hyperbole such as "born speaking lies", babies don`t speak when born, let alone tell lies eh? But all the acts of God are by His power, the same power that keeps the universe spinning in relative unison. The...

hi Marilyn and OZ, from your brother/cousin from NZ. Lol i threw a dart so to speak and took a train out to shepparton and did a day cherry picking. It was a run by a middle east middle man syndicate and not direct to the farmer, and alot of Euro backpackers seemed stranded, not making enough to...

Unless it be false that Adam was formed first and women from man, and the woman who was beguiled 1 Tim 2:12, then women should not have positions of authority over men. There are ample things women may do and ample female disciples to teach. I freely admit i do not know how i would feel if the...

Couldn`t agree more about voting, but prayer is more powerful. Have you read the book Rees Howells Intercessor, very interesting read, 3? x times they prayed when invasion was imminent, each time the miraculous occured. I can`t speak about Cruz as im not from your land and havnt looked into it.

I doubt that the Apostle would call "apostate" someone who was not truly a believer, for they have nothing to apostasy from, nor would God condemn them for they had not yet " received the knowledge of truth". Remember Christ said "blessed are you Simon Peter, for flesh and blood did not reveal...

Hi Stan, not sure where you get that from, Jesus said "when the groom is taken away his disciples will fast" Math 9:15. Can`t get much more NT than that can you?
