    Re: overcoming the carnal world

    Hi there, So I have come to the point, where I have control of my desire, again. I had a relationship with someone in the world, and was lured to disregard my crown (which the Lord gave me). The person I was with, wanted to make it (the crown) something I did not respect. But I learned through...

    Eden was established, by a pattern of Creation and Destruction. Thoughts?

    Hi there, So I have arrived at the idea, that God established Eden as He said, Creating and Calling "Good", then allowing Change and Restarting. What I wanted to point out, is that this is a pattern. It is a pattern on the basis of the idea, that God kept moving through the Creation of Days...

    Assuming "Others are right, for their own reasons" is a blessed moral stance. Discuss.

    Hi there, So in addition to what I call the Silver Line that as a rule "partially right, most of the time" is moral, the Diamond Point, is that assuming "Others are right, for their own reasons" is a blessed moral stance. The effectiveness of it, comes down to interpreting good and bad, from...

    The Holy Spirit can cover you, extend your righteousness, limit judgment of you.

    Hi there! So I have been growing in faith, as I continue to commit to the good life, for God's sake and I have learnt to interpret the work of the Holy Spirit as strength, understanding and meaning (all of which I want to share). The lessons I have learned are very important, because they add...

    When the Devil doesn't know, which way you'll go: you become the first enemy (selah). Discuss.

    Hi there, So this is a simple bit of wisdom, that I just want to tease apart a little, and see what it means: The Lord struggled with this, always telling people not to talk about Him, asking His Disciples to wait for His resurrection before they told people about what they had seen (from...

    Don't just crucify your sin, crucify your faith!

    Hi there, So yes I have been dwelling on how to increase my faith, what to believe, how to believe it: what I have come up with, is that taking up the cross, is about more than just sin and the confession of it. What I have come up with, is that faith itself, needs to face the cross. Jesus went...

    The Devil will be tempted, with the mark (of the anti-Christ) - but if we resist him, he will not receive it

    Hi there, So this is just a short message about the power of resisting the Devil: though he is tempted with the mark (of the anti-Christ), yet if we resist him (to the end) he will not take it. This is why it is important that those who are chosen, take a stand against the mark (of the...

    A mature Christian, makes work a priority (selah). Discuss.

    Hi there, So there is a simple point here, that I think people have tried to nail for some time, but which is expressly easier to interpret with the help of the Holy Spirit. We are not saved by works, but once maturity is reached, the decision to make "works" a 'priority' is foreknown...

    Is it possible that we ask God, for dreams that help save the lives of people we meet?

    Hi there, So I am a strong believer in the idea that God can give dreams to people. In faith, what I would like to ask, is that God give dreams that help save the lives of people we meet - and by faith I mean, that even the dreams of others could have the power to save. The idea is that you a)...

    If Philosophy gave an a priori roadmap, to scientific discovery: would Science heed it?

    Hi there, So it has dawned on me, that maybe there is something that Philosophy has to offer "Science". Science defines a method of falsifiability (according to Karl Popper), whereby hypothesis are entertained, tested and verified. The point I would make, is that if you know what manner of...

    As a rule, "partially right, most of the time" is moral.

    Hi there, So I wanted to present a model for morality that is different from utilitarianism and deontology. That model is simply: Gottservant said: Essentially, it builds on an experience of trying to be moral. It does not need specific instructions or specific consequences, but adapts...

    Bible Students and Seventh Day Adventist, Part 4

    We continue with our comparisons of the Seventh Day Adventist beliefs and the Bible Students. We were discussing their belief in The Trinity, first with respects to The Father and presently with regards to The Son. We continue. They continue: “John, the disciple, says, “In the beginning was...

    Spirit's Work BEFORE Faith

    Here is a simple question: Do we need the work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts before we have faith? I would say yes, absolutely. This is where my belief comes from. There are a few questions that need looked at from Scriptures before we can make a Biblical determination: 1.) How bad is man...

    The Spirit of God, Part 3

    Let us now take a look at 1 Cor 2:9-14 Verse 9 “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man (the natural man), the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” Verse 10 “But God hath revealed [them] to us (The New Creation) by his Spirit; for the...

    The Spirit of God, Part 2

    "Grieve not the holy spirit of God whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption." (Eph 4:30) So then if the holy spirit is only an influence per say, how can (it) be grieved and/ or insulted? "Quench not the spirit." (1 Thess 5:19.) To quench signifies to extinguish, as to extinguish a...

    The Spirit of God, Part 1

    The Spirit of God, Part 1 "Grieve not the holy spirit of God whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption." (Eph 4:30) “This scripture is cited to prove that the Holy Spirit is a person, the argument being that only a person can be “grieved”. It is significant, we believe, that...

    Got your ears on?

    Much of the New Testament was not meant for all people, but only for “He who has an ear” to hear “what the Spirit says to the churches.” In other words, even that which is written was not to be heard or understood by everyone who reads it. But rather, that we have entered that time foretold of...

    "Another" Helper

    When you read of Christ sending "another" Helper...what comes to mind? "Another", in addition to whom? Most would automatically think Jesus meant another Helper in addition to Himself. After all...isn't Jesus an absolutely great helper? Well, of course! But He was not sent to "help" the world...

    Quench not the Spirit

    “But His word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, And I could not.” Jer 20:9 “When a fire is kept shut off from a draft for some length of time, it will become extinguished. This is as true in the realm of moral and spiritual forces as in...
