Even contemplating the subject is...preposterous. I mean come now Watson, it isn't Adam and STEVE, is it? Going into absurd discussions with Scripture bending idiots trying to approve of virtually any sin by warped meanings and ridiculous assertions is a complete waste of time....see, I wasted...

Praise God you have this desire. I don't know what denomination you are, but if I had to do it all over again, I would have gone into MASTER's COMMISSION. This is a 2 year discipleship program where you live Scripture. Often the graduates of Master's Commission become Pastors, or Evangelists...

By your own admission, you don't know the Holy Spirit. How can you say, you loved Jesus? You never knew Him.

And they say our logic is circular.

Do you doubt, seebs, there will be many who profess Christ that do not have the Holy Spirit?

David's wife doubted David, even despised his worship of God. Being a "Pastor's wife" doesn't punch your ticket. In my church, there is a Pastor who I love and respect. Years ago, his wife left him for another man. In a Protestant church I went to in Aurora, the head Pastor ran off with...

Often, the enemy's deceptions are binding, especially when coupled with chronic sin. Did you repent of your sins--that is, did you, make every effort to turn from sin, including not so obvious inward sins (like lust, pride, etc.). Frankly, I'm not really trying to pry into your life, hoping...

Yes, I have one friend I met here, losthope who says that he spake in tongues and still has no faith. I don't necessarily discount this as we are primarily spiritual beings. But I tell you this now, I suspect you are like the seed that was snatched by the bird in the parable of the seed and...

My father in law is a Baptist minister. Of course, they don't believe in (or generally experience the Baptism of the Holy Spirit). This is a huge doctrinal error and spiritually limiting belief. Now I don't want WWIII over stating a denominational error in GA but hey, I think it could make a...

Then you didn't have any faith to begin with (its like a seed, see mustard seed parable).

Here's a hint; God doesn't go back on his promises. Either you're saved or your not, yes only God knows. Faith doesn't come and go like the wind. Each is given a different measure, true, but it doesn't come one day, gone the next. Whims and beliefs, yes, but faith, and grace are gifts of God.

...and what of sin? I like you, had pursued the Holy Spirit, but I hadn't renounced my chronic sins, nor put away my worship of false idols (like gambling, and inappropriate contentography, and smoking) Until I did that, the Holy Spirit would have nothing to do with me. Are you putting away your chronic sin...

It is true that we are all called to share the gospel. However, like pastor, and apostle, the office of evangelist is a spiritual gift.

I didn't. If the Holy Spirit convicts your heart, then so be it. John is straightforward; he says that you must live as Jesus did, else you aren't following Christ but living a lie. And Paul explained it pretty clearly, didn't he in Hebrews 12. You're either sons and daughters or...

I love this, Seebs! Somehow, I quote the Bible; exactly what it says, then I get "You're not God." Where did I say I'm God? But here's what gets under you're skin; we are sons/daughters of God--all that believe and turn from sin to follow Jesus. It bothers you and others here that you...

Must have struck a nerve, yes? All this bob and weave; just to avoid the Truth: that Jesus Christ is Lord!

If you just preach love, and heaven that's all roses, strawberries, peaches, and cream, but it isn't Christ's message. From the sermon on the mount: "Enter through the narrow gate. for wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is...

Just further bolsters Christian speculation that the Mark of the Beast is soon to arrive through the guise of implanted microchips.

But He so clearly showed us that the seed Word sometimes fails to find good soil. The parable of the seed and the sower is there so that we can comprehend that just because the Word is planted, doesn't mean a person is saved. We need to keep planting; and to recognize the signs of a healthy...

What do you think Paul meant by "*******s" or "illegitimate children"?
