God is speaking to the serpent, not Adam, when speaking of enmity and is effectively declaring war between the "forces of good and the forces of evil". God is telling the serpent that He will raise up a man (seed of the woman, who we now know is the Christ) to crush Satan's rule (crush his head)...

Even if we never sinned, we still would not be righteous by our own reckoning as our knowledge is limited. In order to know right from wrong we must rely upon the only One who is knowing all things and can declare to us what is right. This is why we are made righteous through faith because...

The sin nature is in the body, not the soul. Romans 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. It is how we can inherit sin because we get biological life from our parents but our human...

So you're all about serving yourself? Who pays for your Defence Force or Police Force? All your self justification does not excuse your responsibilities to your countrymen or your country. You get the government you vote for or fail to vote for.

Then I hope you're not utilising any of the infrastructure or services governments provide as they are not part of His Kingdom either. :) Matthew 22:21 “Caesar’s,” they replied. Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” Christians ought to be...

Do you know God's thoughts on such issues? Plus we need to be careful in the meaning of Acts 5:20 as Peter and crew weren't trying to jail the Sanhedrin or change national laws but rather were effectively saying "I must live my life as unto the Lord". I'm an Aussie so our political systems...

Look at the rest of what the scriptures say regarding prophets, as having dreams and visions are not the only thing that makes a prophet. Some here have had dreams and visions in which the Lord has spoken to us. We are not prophets, nor would dare call ourselves such.

That is because we are not judging whether you are a prophet on the basis of your experience, but on the word of God. You don't seem to understand that. :( Having prophetic dreams does not make one a prophet. We have shown you from the scriptures those who had prophetic dreams but were not...

Assume what you want, you have done so to date. You cannot tell the difference between prayer in a corporate worship situation and the intercessory prayer of an individual? Whether you realise it or not, (and you should realise if you worked in mental health), what you did was overtly...

Matthew 6:6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

I do not deny it. I have said repeatedly the apostles and the prophets laid the foundation for the Church. How could they do this if they did not exist in the early Church? Their role ended with the completion of scripture. God had said all He needed to say to us. The scriptures now form the...

Your experience is not what determines reality. The word of God is the only reality. Anything that doesn't line up with His word is false. If the word of God does not change your understanding of reality, no-one here can. Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed...

Don't you listen! Our argument is God no longer appoints prophets or apostles for that matter. Has nothing to do with what you may or may not say, dream or may not dream. There are no prophets today. You have not been called to be a prophet.

Can you expect anything less? Hezbollah started firing rockets into Israel before Israel even responded to the Gazan threat of October 7th. They have fired almost 10,000 missiles into Israel in the past year. I'm amazed at the patience Israel displays. You don't have to be a prophet to see the...

It isn't any prophecy he has made that is the problem, it is the assertion he claims that God has called him to be a prophet because he has had some prophetic dreams. Nebuchadnezzar had a prophetic dream, but no-one would say he is a prophet of God. It has been argued from scripture that God...

True, but I'm hearing the heart of an evangelist behind the words. Either way, it's between him and the Lord. :)

We're all special to the Lord. Some of us just need a little more attention than others. ;) On a serious note though .. The office of evangelist is specific and is held to a greater responsibility than the rest of us who are called to witness just as those who are called to be a pastor/teacher...

And how does the next part negate the purpose of a foundation which is to build upon and is built once at the bottom of the building? If anything, it reinforces what I'm saying. You wouldn't have Christ crucified over and over, but you want to continue laying foundations all the way up the...

And calling yourself something you're not is also a form of lying. Based on what I have seen so far, you are more likely an evangelist. The foundation has been laid, no more foundations needed. Rely on scripture, not your experiences. Ephesians 2:20 having been built on the foundation of the...
