Actually, the topic here is about the ability to perceive the spirit realm, and how I think it work similar to the way some people are more talented in the Arts than others. I know, from the very beginning other people have MADE it about deception, but no, that's not really the topic here. lol...

We have no record of God saying, "There will come a time when I will no longer speak to my people, or give them dreams and visions. Because in the future I will only speak to them through the scriptures." All throughout the Bible God spoke to people, and led them through direct contact...

I think we're comparing apples with oranges. When people started calling a certain something "the anointing" it wasn't based upon a deep theological study of the scriptures. It was based upon working with the Holy Spirit, and needing a word to identify this certain thing. So, it started to...

God most certainly does call one person to do one thing, and another person to do something else. This is shown throughout the entire Bible. Obedience to God brings His approval, disobedience brings something else. It doesn't matter if we call it "the anointing" or not. The fact is, that it...

John 8:42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. 43 Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and the...

Ok, but what if the act of declaring your unwavering, undying faith in the Bible... isn't the answer to this problem? ;) The Pharisees seemed to believe in the Bible. Jesus taught the disciples differently though. He showed them the power of the Holy Spirit, and they learned to discern the...

During the showdown on Mount Carmel, the prophets of Baal danced around and cut themselves, but their god was unable to do anything for them. The God of Elijah rained down fire from Heaven. The name "Baal" simply means "Lord". These prophets were most probably Hebrew men, who thought that...

Lol!! :D Me too! And pray to God like I've never prayed before -- that they'd believe me!

Question: If you were hiding Jews in your basement, and the Nazis came knocking on your door asking if you've seen any lately, what would you do? Lie, and save their lives. Or tell the truth, and condemn them to death?

I don't think too many women back in those days had much of a choice about that. Either they were told that they were to marry some random guy that their dad knew, or they were forced into being a prostitute. (Would God hold that against her?) Ester was forced into having a one-night stand...

Hi guys, long time no see. :D So, the commandment is: "Thou shalt not bare false witness against your neighbour." I think what we know as lying is a little bit different. I grew up as a missionary kid, and learned not to lie from a very young age. I found though, that this is no...

Trust God. That's the only way. If He's the one leading you down this path, then He knows what He's doing. He can lead you to the right group of people, or He can just keep you to Himself and let the Holy Spirit be your guide. Over the years there has been some animosity between the...

Also I might point out, that when God speaks to you personally that is not *technically* considered prophecy. Usually prophecy is when He gives one person a message that He expects them to deliver word for word to another person. There are different variations on this gift (of hearing...

John 10: 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. It is the most natural thing in the world for God's children to hear His voice. Keep it up! :thumbsup:

From my observation the poor people in America are poor because they spend more money than they make. Why would anyone have bad credit? Because they spent unwisely, defaulted on their loans, and nobody in their right mind is going to trust them with large sums of money again! Compared to much...

Clearly some of you have no grasp whatsoever of what it means to suffer in hell for all eternity. But if it makes you feel better to judge me for wanting to take care of my own eternity first before considering the needs of others, then fine. :cool: In Christianity the first...

I would say that an extremely large portion of the Bible speaks of a God who does care about humanity, (or at least some of humanity), and has quite a few human-like characteristics Himself. The same Bible speaks very, very little about Omnipotence, Omniscience, and any of the other...

Deut 18:15 “The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear, 16 according to all you desired of the Lord your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, ‘Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, nor let me see...

I keep wondering if the scenario would have a different impact on me if I were a Gnostic or a Satanist. Where it's understood that the Creator God is basically evil, and that mankind really could benefit from the supernatural actions of one person empowered to do so. That might explain how...

Live a normal life and die. It's not my place to solve the world's problems. If God wants my help, then I should at the very least be thanked for my assistance, not tortured for all eternity. There is no logical scenario where that should/could/would be the case!
