    Teachings on gifts from God.

    Ask and it shall be given unto you. Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door shall be opened unto you. For he that asks, receives. He that seeks, finds. To him that knocks, the door shall be opened. Something else I found out is that if you are in a situation ministering to other people...

    Jezebel Queen of False Prophets and the Jezebel Spirit

    While I wouldn't rule out that the Lord might show that someone had a 'Jezebel spirit' I would also like to point out that the verse you quoted does not mention a 'Jezebel spirit.' I avoid using terminology like 'Jezebel spirit' and 'religious spirit' if I am teaching or explaining something...

    Prophecy For The Now

    Can you show some examples of usage of the term in the Bible that illustrates that it means that. I think Peter gives us a good rule-of-thumb understanding of what the word means. Peter wrote that holy men of old spake as they were carried along by the Holy Ghost. That's generally what it...

    Is God outside of time?

    In math it's numbers that keep going up and up forever, or down and down forever.

    Is God outside of time?

    That is a finite number of __digits___ in our numbering system. How many 'digits' did the Romans have, i,v,x,m,c... what else did they have? It's a wonder they did what they did with their numeric system.

    Is God outside of time?

    From what I have studied, it seems like words translated 'eternal' or 'forever and ever' mean 'forever and ever' not this abstract meaning of 'eternal' which probably comes from theological/philosophical speculation more recent than the writing of the Bible. Reading that idea into verses would...

    Prophecy For The Now

    One can be stimulating, supporting, and motivating without prophesying. My understanding is that this is what prophesying does, not what prophesying is.... the function of prophesying, not the definition of it. Peter wrote of prophecies of old that holy men of old spoke as they were carried...

    Is God outside of time?

    I don't see any scripture that backs this idea up. I've wondered the same thing. I remember hearing Hugh Ross say he read the Bible and said that it taught that God was outside of time, which was something that may have contributed to his conversion. I was tempted to send him a question to...

    Could earth be the center of the universe?

    If all motion is relative, then the geocentric model works, too. The math to calculation positions of planets is just more complicated I suppose. (Calculating such things is not my thing.) I did see a documentary that said the galaxies in the universe appeared to be arranged along...

    Jehovah’s Witnesses

    He's got a mix of beliefs, many of which were previously held. For example, some of the Gnostics believed that Jesus did not rise bodily from the dead.

    What to do in church meetings Protestant Tradition v. Scripture

    No, it says each man is to set aside money on the first day of the week. You misrepresent what he passage says: 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in...

    Mattthew 28 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and...

    What to do in church meetings Protestant Tradition v. Scripture

    Where do you get that? Paul was an apostle, but he wasn't one of the Twelve... according to his own words in I Corinthians 15.

    What to do in church meetings Protestant Tradition v. Scripture

    Instead of making pronouncements, why don't you look up what you are talking about. The Athenian government called government delegates it sent out 'Apostles' back during their days of dominating other cities. The word had a meaning BEFORE it showed up in the New Testament. Apostle means...

    What to do in church meetings Protestant Tradition v. Scripture

    According to Acts 14:14, there were at least 14 apostles. Ironic isn't it. See also Acts 14:4. (Well, 15 at this point).

    The Error of KJV-Onlyism

    @Bible_Highlighter None of your comments about Westcott and Hort or your concerns expressed about the modern Bible movement are in any way evidence for the idea that the King James version is a perfect inspired translation.

    The Error of KJV-Onlyism

    This is not evidence for KJV Onlyism. It may be evidence that the early Baptist movement might have been just a bit wonky.
