Slain in the spirit?

That's like when Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi said they are Catholics.

And we(including me) have visions of grandeur in this. But it's about loving your wife as Christ would. Loving your friends and enemies as Christ would. Raising your family as the Lord would. Solving everyday problems with His ways/doctrines.

Mental attitude(His mind) in all we do is key. The little ole house wife, whom we have never heard of, may be more influential in His kingdom than a world renowned preacher.

That, too.

Unless the Lord has chosen for one to remain single.

Seems to me he has much discernment over the topic.

It takes discernment to know who has discernment.
It takes the Holy Spirit's guidance to be true.

That is why we must test the spirits (with knowledge of sound doctrine) because there is more than one spirit
out there wanting to lead us. Too many are led by their emotions, and mistaking it for spirituality.

The fact that some will find it? Means it is real and humanly possible by grace

"Destruction" does not mean going to Hell.

It means there will be believers who end up being self-destructive becauyse of how and what they choose to believe.
They are mistakengly living for God as if God thinks like they do.




Their chosen voice to listen to is the one that agrees with how they see things...
That is why we are warned.....


But, they do it anyway!
For, they lean upon their own understanding.

Their own understanding?
The fact that some make it and 'find it', proves that God has laid it out his plan for mankind to follow.
In the mean while... He weeds out his garden by allowing for free will to reign and having them to self destruct.

Someday we are all going to realize how simple God made it for us.

17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

Some of the classified Church Fathers were Disciples of the Apostle John.

One would think if the Bible completed was the Perfect to Come that John's Disciples would have been instructed since John wrote the last Book...j/s

Yes! That had to take place in the pioneering days of clearing the way for the church to be established!
When Christianity first started? They did not even have NT Scriptures!

Did you realize that?

Who are you a disciple of?
So, you know everything known by the one whom ever is your mentor?

.......

Am I to understand that you go through the Bible and pick and choose what you want to keep and what you want to throw away?

I am beginning to think you make up your doctrine as it pleases you.

I am a Disciple of Yeshua.
Whatever He claimed I should do that's what I do.
Hence this Scripture reference.

No answer from IRS..... Only something that was made to appear to be one.

Go away.... You have NOTHING.

Classified?
Or, certified?
Top secret Church fathers?????

So, everyone who disagrees with your conclusion?

Who are we disciples of?

It's not difficult to know for yourself but then you will have to face the facts once you research.

Your posting history confirms who you serve.
But those who dissect the Bible typically serve themselves.

Let me use a middle/high/college school sport that I think describes hope in God.

All throughout the Torah we see where the people that Moses led into battle typically were outnumbered or were stronger even more skilled than the Hebrew people. But God always pulled them to victory when they were truly following God.

The sport of wrestling is similar. You can be dominated for the 5 minutes and 50 seconds, down in points by a great margin, but if you can some how get your opponent on their back to the place where both shoulder blades touch the mat in the final 10 seconds. You not only erase that big lead in points against you but securing a pin gives you automatically the win.

I see everything in the Bible as for my own life. I don't pick and choose which areas I like and dislike but I believe if God did it then He will do it for me because He claimed through the Holy Spirit of God that He is the SAME then, now, and forever.

SImple you're not "Given" anything. you'r simply EMPOWERED temporarily at the Holy Spirit's choosing, when the situation requires it. "Tongues" in the "Message in tongues" sense is completely "temporary", just like Prophesy, or interpretation. I have interpreted many times, but in and of myself I couldn't if you held a gun to my head. The HOLY SPIRIT has the "Gifts", and he empowers people to manifest them WHEN HE PLEASES.

I am not sure how long I was on the floor but yes my foot was healed and after that event God has been much more active with me I am in his presence more often and he has been giving me more dreams lately too since then he normally rarely gives me dreams but it has been more active lately some of them he allowed me to speak with my deceased grandpa
