Basic Christianity.

Then you probably shouldn't be a Christian.
Christianity is hard and takes courage.

What a ridiculous statement. He wishes things were not as they are therefore he shouldn’t be a Christian? If you honestly think that, then you shouldn’t claim to be a Christian either.

As Christians we recognize that things are not wonderful, THEREFORE we long for our heavenly home.

… smh…

Yeah you called it. I'll take off the zzzz's. I'm just hungry for actual fellowhship on this forum. silly me

You know better than that . I'm highlighting the part of the salvation process where Gods word isn't yours to claim yet, and how we respond to make it so.

Thats a simple Vines dictionary definition. " a personal surrender to Him and a life inspired by such surrender. He accepts the surrendered life or not.

All the scripture in the world can't change that fact.

It's hard to have fellowship and quality discussions when anybody can walk in the door. The OP is a case in point. Just unending confusion

Maybe we should have sections called safe zones where one is only allowed in if they fit the description like say one for pentecost or one for reformed one for catgolic and one also for teachers like that man and other kinds as well but the point is if we had those we could likely have better discussions with each other

My POV on that, is that probably a good number, if not all, who put on the priestly robes without consulting the High Priest (Jesus) and come stomping in like gang busters, do not have a platform from which to brag, er 'teach' and so they puff up and let er rip here. Now he's got Blain's attention and Blain is sincere if nothing else. sigh

 

[Blain]

Can I get a confirmation from you on this post?

You do, understand that the correct response to the call of the Father is " a personal surrender to Him and a life inspired by such surrender "?

Yes surrender is key in fact that is how I became saved myself

 

[homwardbound]

Thats not true!
God doesn't impute anything for "sincerely believing" in what Jesus did.

The Father only imputes the Spirit of His Son to those who are faithing into Him. To those who personally surrender their lives to Him, and live a life inspired by such surrender.

Basi Christianity 101.

Okay, carry on, thanks

Honey, I have been to many churches and always been part of the leadership so I have seen more than many and too much in some cases. Oh I do have Vines in fact and a library of other books but in the end, it's all about Jesus. I really do very much like to study and learn but in the end, there is nothing like the fellowship with my Savior.

You have no idea about me yet you smack me across the mouth (spiritually speaking) so you your love is a cold love. Lots of it around.

You said what you said and it was ridiculous.

We've crossed paths many times and I know you well. Does my new avie throw you off? I'm not laughing. I do not hunger for your website.

Lol, Blain, your kind of blowing my mind here.

I know this will serve up an easy attack by others, but know one has stood with me on that in 38 years.

I've been thinking that my purpose in the body was to prove that we're in the state where "they will nolonger endure sound doctrine."

There's still hope!

Thats 3 bombs you've landed on me, I love it.

sigh

another one hiding in a cave and thinking they are all alone

watch out for flattery

You realize that opens up all kinds of other conversations we could have. I'm going to have to work on getting my PM privileges.

Since no one will really know
Might be best to be ready daily, in season and out of season. Be willing to be led in God's Spirit and Truth, the same as Jesus did, revealing to us all to be dependent of his Father, making Father our Father now as I read in John 20, when he said to Mary, "I go to my Father", now your Father. is it exclusive to Mary alone? I do not think so, yet we each decide
I see a love from God through Son that I need to have in any and all situations, good or bad that happen here. Seeing contentment in all things now, learning to respond in thanksgiving and praise, even if go through troubles anyways, thank you Father and Son as Won
Woe is me Isaiah 6:1-7

I think we're at the point of it's obviously the season and we are on the cusp of so many things that are prophecy and signs showing us that it's now crucial to be ready every day.

It says scripturally that man does not live by bread alone but by all of God's words. Because our spirit needs to eat. so we put ourselves in the presence of the Lord in His Word. This allows heart to heart communication with the Lord. It leaves a residue on you! Remember when Moses spent 40 days and nights with the Lord on the Mountain, and when he came down from the Mtn., he was glowing and scared the people so put on a veil. Remember?

That works into the Parable of the 10 Virgins. The 5 who had no oil asked to the 5 who did have oil, give us of your oil....but this oilish residue can not be given. They would have to be in the Lord's presence themselves.

Hey I guess you could say it's sort of like when we read the word, a drop of oil is dripped within our heart which affects us and purifies our heart over time. So the 5 virgins who had not could not receive oil from the other girls. You have to get it yourself. Build that relationship!

And eventually, He will out of the blue hit you with something weird. Something guaranteed you wont understand and will want to say no. But that's a trick question so just do whatever He asks you to do. Even if you have no clue or understanding of anything related. You just have to trust Him.

In fact it is a test. Do you say you trust Jesus even when it costs you? I mean, either someone has true faith in Jesus or faith in the world system? It could also be an Obedience exercise at the same time. If one is going to obey the Lord, then, obey immediately...

 

[Edward429451]

Ya, nobody knows. But if He came to fulfill the law, it seems right that He wouldn't break a feast day.

Yep. And I've seen some pretty big time preachers explaining how it has to be on a certain feast day. So if everybody is expecting Him on that day...!!! Jesus said I'll come when you Least expect it.

Brother, that's today! (It's cloudy out too!!)

My understanding as far as the feast days goes is that Jesus came and fulfilled some of them in his ministry and there are three others I believe it is three that he will fulfill but the feast of trumpets is generallt understood to be the day to watch for because of the last trump from the 200 shofar blasts and also because it is actually known as the day no man knows the hour because it relies on the new moon the first sighting of the new moon in a two day time frame is when it begins

This of course does not mean this is how it will go down but this is how many believe it to be so

You laughed at what I said in #54 and found what I posted in #67 to be boring.
If that is being hungry for fellowship then I guess you will starve.

 

[memberofthebride]

Do you honestly think that a person MUST believe this in order to be saved?

That means a person who hasn’t processed this information because the Lord is dealing with other issues in their life isn’t saved? A person who is focusing on other scriptural matters first isn’t saved? A person who has researched the matter and has come to an honest but different conclusion isn’t saved?

Consider carefully before responding.

I do not believe if a person is keeping easter, that person is not following Jesus Christ,

Our Father and Jesus Christ ARE TRUTH, I do not believe God calls a person with lies.

Comment:

Matthew 24: 36 - 39 is not describing the day Christ's set His foot on the mount of Olives.

Christ return is after 7 Trumpet plagues that utterly destroy earth - no one will be eating and drinking.

The day and the hour --- when sudden destruction comes upon the Nations of the House of Israel.

Perhaps you could restate that without the double negative, so your view is clear.
