I think #4 isn't understood as much as the others. For instance. manipulation is something prominent in the modern church. Shepherds manipulating the flock to steer them the way to follow his/her agendas. I heard a state leader brag that he talks about things to his congregation to make them...

He needs to know that, if a christian, The Lord Himself thru trials & tribulations will teach him many life lessons. Tell him every one will be important & necessary to learn.

I always thought (my opinion) that, yes Jesus underwent much travail in the garden, but the angel came & strenghtened Him to go to the cross. Who could withstand a mock trial of unbelieving priests, endure 39 stripes, then be nailed to the cross? Besides this, Jesus had to endure receiving upon...

Romans 14: 4Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. 10Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand...

Well, if most I've read gave their "defense of the faith" publically like they do it on here, they'd be sitting in jail somewhere, jus' saying;)

Gee, PBJ, It's reported that John wrote Revelation about 92AD. What are you going to do with that? Then there's other Jewish converts that followed the Apostles teaching, 2000 Jews saved on the day of Pentecost alone, with Luke stating even more were added to the church in Acts 2. Most of the...

I have seen many trained ministers walk in the flesh because they were trained only by men & not by God. If memory serves me right, the only exorcists mentioned in scripture were beaten up & stripped by a demon. The demon knew Jesus & Paul, but he didn't know them.:) The only "trained"...

"according to" means in a nutshell, "the way he does it" You're right ...it can be a fine line to walk.:)

Didn't Paul boast in the flesh that he was an authentic Jew? Phil 3:2 Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. 3For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of Godb and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh—...

Does anyone know the problem with polarized arguments? Sure, there may be a technically "right " side vs a technically "wrong" side. But when we get flustered at our opponent, our attitude, though we be right, shows us to be wrong. The old saying goes "two wrongs doesn't make a right". We make...

That's one of the problems with the modern church, they think they need "professionals". School taught people with degrees to prove who they are. "Knowledge puffeth up", & many(not all) are puffed up in their "training". Whatever happened to the phrase "they shall be taught of God"? The Holy...

You need to know the difference between being possessed(sinners), and being oppressed(saints) BIG difference.

Eph 2:11Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— 12remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the...

1Cor 14:13Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret. 14For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful. 15What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing with my...

It seems gone are the days when it was preached that true christians are to be sold out to Jesus. *sigh*

I don't see how since everyone seems to have their own "version" of what it means. If no one agrees at all, usually there's no symbolism there at all.

6He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. 7That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” 9When they got out on land, they saw a...

I have an answer for this dilemma: 153 fish means 153 fish, period. Doesn't anyone believe in literal interpretation anymore?

It could give better answers than what I've heard so far.:LOL:

Aaaand you didn't witness to him? The message & the plan of salvation is free, and you didn't give it to him? Perhaps you are broke. Spiritually broke. Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. You may need to repent of sin...
