Good morning
I consider myself to be a Truthseeker as well. Very early in the learning though. Recently left a legalistic-based church. But I find it helps to connect to other members of the global Body of Christ. Hoping to search for Truth with others.
Alrighty then, I will reply the same way I did to Mikael:
Nice to meet you AD. I have been a truthseeker all of my life, especially after HS in 1967,
and I have a website <truthseekersfellowship.com> for the purpose of sharing what I have learned
as well as several threads that I have started on CC:
Apologetics: The Best Belief - begins philosophically and endeavors to answer questions atheists ask.
The Kerygma: The Christian Creed - delves more deeply into God's requirement for salvation.
The Teachings of Jesus - lists 205 distinct teachings.
The Teachings of Paul - lists 315 teachings, including in Hebrews and Peter's epistles.
Key OT Teachings - shares 147 teachings that are related to the NT.
The History of Beliefs - summarizes the history of the world with an emphasis on beliefs related to salvation.
Random Questions - relates various issues to biblical teachings.
Applying GW to Politics - sharing how Christian faith might be salt and light in this world.
Hermeneutics - attempting to harmonize Scripture using Paul's method in order to promote spiritual unity.
Systematic Scripture Study - attempts to understand proof-texts by examining context on issues such as election.
Mining Secular Music for Biblical Nuggets - sharing songs that may be viewed as para-Christ rather than anti-Christ.
The Didache - Doctrines That Build on the Creed - attempting to obey the urging of Hebrews 6:1-3 to learn GW beyond the Gospel.
How do angels jibe with the Holy Spirit - part of the website lesson regarding the HS.
These threads and lessons are works in progress that I amend frequently because of discussions on CC.
So, if you want to discuss something including me, please begin.
Jas 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Pro 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Act 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
I think all people can have the same understanding of the Bible if they apply themselves especially if the Spirit will guide the saints to the truth.
God wants all people to understand the Bible equally well.
Of course the masses will not understand not having the Spirit.
But everybody that is led of the Spirit can know equally as well.
God gives wisdom to all people liberally if they ask.
2Ti 3:4 lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
There are a lot of people who claim Christianity who deny the Spirit leading them and never come to the truth.
Ok, would you agree the most important thing is to be with JESUS when we die?
Foundation is the key.
Tell me what I have to do to be reborn.
Hi GWH, thanks for the link. Will have a look and a read
Good deal. Just don't expect a light devotional, read for entertainment!
It is seminary level information meant to be read and digested slowly with a Bible at hand.
LOOK AT HOW PUFFED UP YOU ARE!!!
WE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE HUMBLE.
"So, if you want to discuss something including me, please begin."
TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF.
And you don't even hide it!!!
Do you have the ability to become a servant like JESUS was?
John 13:6-21
King James Version
6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
"Those who know the Jewish people are very special and yet know the church goes around the wrong perspective with them "
I to wonder what do you mean by this. This is in His word. I watched OneforIsrael and oh I cried like a baby at all those that found Christ yet some started to say about Christians "they have my God" I started to get hurt and mad...what do I have then? The left overs? So I in my mind pictured a Jewish person sitting to my left and Christ before us. I have to say I can see "pictures" of so called Christ but in this case for the life of me I could not in anyway picture Him. I from my heart .. I really meant it "tell me you love me as much as you love him the Jewish person to my left".
This was before bed fully awake and what I pictured come to life. This hand with a small tree comes down but that tree.. I have never seen a tree in my life that had so many branches...oh it was so beautiful but ever branch was like in the shape of a "U" no clue at the time why. So places it between us and says "show me a branch that was not originally of the vine I am the vine you are the branches".
It took me.. maybe I am slower but what in the world did "originally of the vine" mean? After this I told my oldest about it and the shape of the branches. He said "sounds like the menorah. How in the world does he know that and not me. So go look up that word I did.. Yes that was what every branch ..so many many branches looked like. I still don't know why.
That's Him.. look how He told me He loved me just as much. It was right there always in front of me I read it so many times yet never saw. Today as Iaasc was we are the children of promise.
Can I ask with out offending why shorten God? YHWH? Yah anyway just wondering. I do.. I keep asking my self ..why call Him God when that does no even touch who what He is.. just me.

No one has taken me up on the invitation to critique the website paragraph by paragraph,
so I am going to assume it is essentially acceptable to y'all until that happens, except for those
who denigrate my beliefs on the thread created by Ouch for that purpose, which several including
those in the "Actser" denomination (that focuses on verses regarding WB and SIT in Acts 2:38 & 10:48
plus 1Cor. 14:18 & 39) have done, which is fine, because as a truthseeker I invite correction/reproof,
although I prefer that it be done without animosity and in a spirit of oneness based on agreement
regarding the Gospel kerygma. LIC, GW

Why would anyone critique your website if they can see what comes out of your mouth here?
So your saying since I have challanged you to back up your oppionn with GODS word and you failed, I'm the problem?
Do you want truth seekers or just ones that will follow your opinion?
Isn't it LOVE trying to share HIS word to keep people out of Hell?
Or is being silent lOVE, which leads them to Hell?
I see many poeple sharing HIS word with you, why will you not accept it.
If you're looking for truth seekers, you should be one yourself first.
Because that question comes out of YOUR mouth.
No, I say God has given your ilk to me as a thorn in the flesh to keep me humble.
I want TSers to critique my opinion in order to help it align or harmonize with GW.
Sharing GW is loving if it is shared in a loving manner instead of with animosity.
Many people also share GW with YOU, but those in your denomination reject it.
I have been a TSer all of my life, and I PTL for what I have learned!
What have I said that was untrue?
I've only shared HIS word.
Did GOD put me here to be a thorn or to show you HIS word?
If you were humble you would be able to accept HIS word.
What some people call animosity others call it the truth.
Is calling a liar and lair animosity or speaking the truth?
I don't debate denominations, just share HIS word denominations are man made which started this problem.
I love that you have been seeking HIM your whole life, but why will you not accept his word?
Pretty much everything you have said about me.
To be a thorn in order to make me amend the way I explain my belief regarding His Word on our website.
I do accept GW, which apparently acts as a goad that you kick against.
The loving way to express disagreement is to explain why you disagree
rather than resort to saying "Thou liar!" (Matt. 5:22)
I have only called you a liar, I don't recall anything else.
If I was wrong show me and I will repent to JESUS and ask both of you to forgive me.
If you did accept HIS word you would not say it says something it doesn't say.
thinking your word trumps HIS word, you are stabbing JESUS in the back.
Matthew 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
Are we brothers?
I'm in danger of Hell fire if I don't share HIS word, people who don't listen to HIS word are also in danger of Hell fire.
I do not see any explanation of why you disagree with my understanding of GW, and I will let God
show you why it is wrong to call a brother a liar because your understanding trumps his.
And we're off. Again. Stop playing the innocent in chief to people who do not know and have not experienced your duplicity. You jump on every new person here because anyone else here who has made your acquaintance and tried discussing with you, has been led down a garden path and into the maze of your own beliefs which are far from the gold standard in biblical truth.
