I receive the HS through the word.
Is the war within each person won already? I would say, NOT. Some will say they have already won, but some have not yet begun to fight and some only just begun. While there is time there is war, and for whom among us is there no more time? My parents have completely their fight and are gone, but I still fight battles, perhaps daily. Why does Paul write, I die daily, if the flesh and the ways of the flesh are already finally and completely dead for anyone who is NOT already an overcomer like Jesus? When is this verse true for any one person?
"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 there should be time no longer:" Rev 10:6
Is it not for each one when his/her allotted time in finished without regard to any possible end of mankind as a whole?
No Spirit directly working on the subject.
And no there are no more spiritual gifts to help edify the church.
actually imo nothing could be much further from the truth, and the way we are had on that one is to turn "proclaim" into what we understand as "preach" now, that ego-building device that puts wolves between you and Christ, see. Just Like Taken's "declare," and whatever, even "proclaim" turned into "profess," none of these terms are strickly wrong imo, however they have been warped out of all valid meaning, we testify of ourselves now, see, we declare ourselves wise and we say that we know, and then go and also make "proclamations" when we are not aware that we are doing that, later, that completely invalidate our earlier "professions."The command to preach to all the world was given right before the crucifixion.
They were aware that they were supposed to preach to Jew and Gentile alike.
sigh, so please Quote this if you would, ty, bc no they did not either ok, no offense meantThe apostles understood it.
They sent out 60 disciples to assist in the work.
now yur just totally making crap up I guess, i'm in rapture right now! well, I was yesterday anyway.Prophecy said the gospel would be preach to the whole world before the rapture.
dont even get me started on missions lol, Jesus what a bunch of smug pantywaistsSo it seems pretty clear from the resurrection on the mission was to preach to everyone.
well as a general statement, that no one can really dispute or do much of anything with except subjectify, I cant disagree ok, yes.The good news of human redemption through Jesus Christ.
but again wadr that is so subjective as to be useless? See ya just anthropomorphize "HS" and then lose sight of what "Word" means, change that around a little, and next thing you know you are getting a literal Visit by Some Angelic Guy via Reading the Bible, and we are not gonna rest until by God we even have some Visual Evidence of this that we can All See with our Two Eyes rightI receive the HS through the word.
so then receive the Spirit by the Word, amen!I receive the HS through the word.
Word, ty, which is imo why all of the instances of Have Faith in Scripture are being turned into believe;Ps 119:172 all thy commandments are righteousness.
Acts 17:30. Command all men everywhere to repent
Acts 10:13. Whosoever shall call in the name of the lord shall be saved.
Etc...
It takes more than belief to work righteousness
man, imo you have found a big thing, if you found all writing is given for instruction, correction, etc, amenYes Paul also said that what was written aforetime was written for our learning.
Word, ty, which is imo why all of the instances of Have Faith in Scripture are being turned into believe;

well, Judas was, too right. Was Paul an Apostle? Not a "12 Apostle," right?What is a “12 apostle”.
well maybe, but that is kind of evading the fact that you cannot really Quote too much of that, or that Judas was "all" guided into all truth, too, i guess; Judas sinned, Judas confessed, Judas took his own life rather than rebound, cursed bc he hung from a tree, gave up his life for his friends the wrong way maybe, spilled his guts, but hereiam agreeing with you i guess? Judas spilled his guts meaning he made it obvious that his agenda was what we would call Zionist now, a literal king on a literal throne of David wearing a literal crown, right, just what Christians mostly all want right now today!I believe they were all guided into all truth.
bc the first one we can do with our mouths, but the second one we have to do with our handsCould you expound on this? Maybe define what you think is the diff between believe and have faith?
pick up your cross and follow MeThe word was made flesh.

hmm. Walk out that door, no cash or spares, goto another town, stay in one house, and eat what they feed you imo, and you are either going to get hip or die, starve to death prolly. Now are you going to struggle along the way? As in 'try to drive, keep tryna drive, keep tryna lead, preach, profess, testify, lecture?' Maybe not, maybe you are not codependent like me, maybe you are smarter than me, I wouldn't doubt it. IRL is where the war is already won, as above, so below, even you have yet to sweat any blood in your struggle ends up meaning more like a tongue-in-cheek kind of interp, in the context of our washing the outside of the cup, wherein we rend each other for "sins" that are not sins at all! Go and marry a whore already lol, and unclench on the appearance of sin imo. Do what you want and reap what you sow, and then stop sinning if some action causes harm, that's great imo. But to like stop smoking, or some other "bad" thing, bc of how other ppl perceive it? Suicide, imoI only say that the "war is already won meaning spiritually and in God's view. Not IRL.
ah, it's an older ipad with no hours that sat in a closet for ten years, generally acts ok I guess, but does get weird. "isn't" instead of "is" a lot, autocorrects when you don't want but also prints words that are not words, just weird to me. Really an awesome device though I guess, i'm just too old to be (complaining about free amazing electronics) lolDid ya get an Apple or a lemon? (I-Pad)
Rom 8:9 says that the Spirit of God dwells in you and that the Spirit of Christ dwells in you. It does not say how. You read that and say it is literally the Spirit dwells in you. There are more passages that say Christ and the father dwell in you. But you know Christ does not literally dwell in you. The Spirit dwells in you when you allow his word to be the guide for your life.Correct! But it's NOT about YOUR righteousness by the Law!!
It's about His Righteousness, as a Gift through the vehicle of His Holy Spirit.
.
That's why it's so important to understand Rom. 8:9.
Will you comment on that scripture?
Probably not! You haven't replied to my post about KJV- Mat. 5:19-20 either.
Yes Paul was an apostle.well, Judas was, too right. Was Paul an Apostle? Not a "12 Apostle," right?
well maybe, but that is kind of evading the fact that you cannot really Quote too much of that, or that Judas was "all" guided into all truth, too, i guess; Judas sinned, Judas confessed, Judas took his own life rather than rebound, cursed bc he hung from a tree, gave up his life for his friends the wrong way maybe, spilled his guts, but hereiam agreeing with you i guess?

Of course that is occluded, a little bit, not much, but imo see what happens there, in our telling, too; anyone in Judas' place, witnessing the miracles, would obviously not be blind to Christ's powers. Ergo a scenario in which Judas might fully expect Jesus to use those powers if He was backed into a corner, say, becomes apparent?
And if you just play with the phrasing a little, the truth becomes obvious imo, "Judas took money to force Jesus onto a literal throne, fully believing that that is what would happen, and ended up funding a field of blood, a graveyard for the destitute" or whatever. i have a pitcher of a certain neighborhood corner in Flint with a "church" on every corner, one of them brand new, all closed when the money ran out, wanna see it? Bc it's coming to a theater near you i guess, prolly already has?
