Isaiah 11:6 A fitting verse for an evocative imagination.

Is that your way of saying that water baptism is not a compulsory forerunner to receiving the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. More of a ceremonial rite of passage, for lack of a better term?

I have to respectfully disagree. If your statement is factual, why did the Spirit give the order to Philip to join the Ethiopian's chariot, for the purpose of preaching the good news of Jesus, and carrying out water baptism? Acts 8:29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this...

Water baptism is about you, not the one willing to baptise you. I would advise against self-baptising, because if anyone was eligible to carry that through, Jesus would've been that man, but even He was baptised by John the Baptist. With His example always having preeminence, I would always...

I was a male trapped in a female body for a season, then my mother gave birth. That rules me out.

I dated a Swedish girl in my mid 20s (I wasn't Christian back then). Her English was faultless, but British humour was lost on her and her family, they just didn't understand it. The Dutch people I've met didn't just communicate well, they also instinctively understood the nuances (meaning) of...

You can't phase out an exhibition of free will just because you don't see eye to eye with all the contributions. Let the dust settle and laugh it off. You know I ain't fishing or trawling for your crabbiness! :)

I haven't read every post on this thread, but aside from the odd dismissive response, I've not seen anything indicative of trolling. Just some vehement discussion. Some people will argue their case to breaking point. Might not be for you, but I wouldn't take it personally.

Boundless free will would call for us to have the power to act without the constraint of fate. And none of us are free from reaping what we sow. If that were God's designation for free will, the birds of the air which neither reap or sow, would be less restrained than mankind. With that being...

The Dutch are the best non-native English speakers in Europe. Welcome, Dennie (y)

Your accuser won't accuse you in accordance with truth or fact, he's just out to discourage you from augmenting spiritual heart-to-hearts and head-to-heads with your to the purpose art. You have a distinctive way of emphasizing scripture quotes and verses, with relevancy and significance. And...

The Spirit spoke this to me one time: It's a contradiction for anyone to believe they're free from their adversary, the devil, while they fatefully go about making enemies of each other. Completely disarmed me in a heated moment, I've never forgotten it.

The married who seek sexual gratification elsewhere, do so because sex with a lawful spouse cannot satisfy their sin nature. Sin will always want what God does not permit or allow. Marriage can appease the libido, but it won't temper a man or woman's desire to sin. Only Christ can change that...

Personal suffering never seems pleasant at the time, but it's an auspicious opportunity for our brothers and sisters in Christ, to help bear our burdens and set their seal on the the royal law, which is love. Before I had the the comfort of knowing who I was in Christ, I was a closed shop. I...

Listen, Brasspen. You won't find a single guy who hasn't suffered the sting of a woman choosing some guy other than him. The most painful branches the Lord has selectively cut away in my own life have been female. Women, who I wanted to fight for and keep a hold of. When my loyalty has been...

The devil doesn't keep things real. Your enemy hates the truth, and will keep you in the dark about those who'll try to tell you the truth.

No worries, brother. Your love and affectionate concern for God's children is not in question. I already reasoned that your stern criticism of Brasspen must've been a last resort. He's negligent in attitude and action. Seeking validation, not correction. Proverbs 12:1 (ESV) Whoever loves...

Reaping what he sowed, and casting aspersions rather being repentant. Your displeasure is justified.
