Do you have any Scripture to support these ideas? Again, what Scripture supports these claims?

Since you feel strongly about this issue, it is your calling to do something about it. Don't dump your responsibility on others, and don't throw shade on others because they don't happen to think exactly as you do. As for your "thesis", I hold that worshiping God is more important than...

You seem to have a chip on your shoulder... And you seem to be itching for a fight.

Nor do you. Approximately, yes.

In a healthy congregation of that size, the pastors *should* have no knowledge of who gives what, but usually even where they don't know specifics, they have a pretty good idea who gives more and who gives less.

The first people were garden dwellers, not cave dwellers. If you believe the evolutionary timeline for human development, you aren't believing the Bible

I don't disagree with what you've posted here... but too often I see people limiting God's communication to Scripture, or reminders about Scripture. The truth is that while Scripture is complete and "all that we need" with regard to knowing God and becoming saved and mature, it is not all the...

Again, I can see that God would call someone out of a worldly situation or an unhealthy congregation (or denomination) but that is very different than "God" calling someone out of all local church involvement.

Bluntly, you are the false teacher here. You have misinterpreted the passage and denied the power of the Holy Spirit. You have misunderstood both prophecy and exposition. I have never heard anyone (other than recognized cultists) claim "new revelation" but that is not what modern prophecy...

I hope we're not talking past each other. I mean that since the Scripture clearly tells people not to give up gathering together, people who think they have been "called out of the church" probably aren't hearing the Lord. It's one thing to be released from a specific congregation because it is...

I'm trying to understand what you mean here: All who are sincere (about anything) are chosen to know God or All who sincerely seek to know God are chosen (for something not specified in your post) ?

Crazy only in that they ignore Scripture (Hebrews 10:25). ;)

I strongly disagree. While trust is being restored, an unfaithful partner needs a godly confidant of the same gender. It is a burden to receive someone's confession and to hold them accountable, and the partner does not need the constant reminder of the sin. Demanding that of the "victim"...

I've seen this handled both well and poorly. In the former cases, the "prophet" (role, not title) delivers the word humbly and without a lot of packaging. The recipient feels edified, even if the message is challenging. In the latter cases, the "prophet" demands a certain response, often on the...

As I don't normally use the Amplified version and never have used it regularly, the accusation that I "don't seem to know Scripture very well" is asinine. The translations that I do know (along with the KJV) are: The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever...

One thing I constantly see overlooked in this passage is that Lazarus had been dead four days when Jesus arrived at Bethany. Before that, when He heard that Lazarus was very sick, Jesus delayed two days before going. Even if Jesus had left immediately, He still would have arrived after Lazarus...

I'm not missing anything here. Firstly, God does not say, "Give and I will look after your return." That's not in Scripture anywhere. Secondly, I don't give for the purpose of receiving any kind of return; I give because God says to give. I trust in God to provide, and I recognize my...

I have to wonder what point the troll sees in continuing to plagiarize and continuing to post dumb memes. He ain't convincing anyone.

I don't know about "claiming" it, but you may certainly look in the mirror and read it over yourself. It sounds a bit corny, but it really is no different than praying it for someone else. If you feel uncomfortable, add the word "May" at the start of each statement... that's the gist of it...

"Thanks so much for the free gifts of life and righteousness, God. To show my heartfelt appreciation for your mercy, I'm going to trample the sacrifice of your Son in the dirt by continuing to be a slave to the Law from which He died to save me."
