    What grieves the holy spirit?

    Jesus was testifying to reprove the notion that His disciples were to eat His body to receive eternal life. He was lifting their sights higher from the literal to the spiritual of what He was saying on how they would be saved, by believing in Him. Earlier, Jesus had told the Pharisees and...

    Gender-Neutral Restrooms

    Females cannot use urinals. Guys can use toilets for any occasion. So toilets are for everyone. You can't call something gender neutral if the facility within that restroom does not offer all of it as gender neutral. I did say all or go back to the way it was. I am sure she goes behind a...

    What grieves the holy spirit?

    The Holy Spirit intercedes for us INDIRECTLY because there is only One Mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:5 The Holy Spirt cannot utter His own intercessions. He has them, but He cannot give them to the Father and thus they are "unspeakable". This is why Jesus...

    What grieves the holy spirit?

    Yes. That is true, which is why He can be grieved for which we should be aware of and lean on our Good Shepherd in trusting Him to help us not to do.

    Only way?

    I believer God the Father knows Whom will receive Jesus from those that would not believe in Him. No man can come to the Son unless the Father draws him. John 6:44 It is the Father that gives us to the Son to be saved. John 6:37-40 The Father knows whom will prefer the evil deeds over...

    Gender-Neutral Restrooms

    Can females use them? No. So how is that a gender neutral restroom? Toilet stalls or go back to the way it was. I prefer the way it was since females will have a conniption over the men leaving the toilet seat up. This is where trying to be politically correct will cause trouble. It is...

    What grieves the holy spirit?

    I believe in the Holy Spirit and what God's actual gift of tongues is. We have scripture for our discernment where Jesus at that throne of grace can help us to test the spirits by His words and know what is not the Holy Spirit and what is not God's actual gift of tongue. So trust Jesus Christ...

    What grieves the holy spirit?

    Since the actual God's gift of tongues is manifested by the Holy Spirit, then it is really not dependent on the believer's eagerness to share the gift. Since the gifts are to profit the body withal, then it will come with interpretation OR the Holy Spirit would just manifest the gift of...

    Love the Lord, or go to hell

    I wasn't talking about the tree of life. As for those that will eat from it, that is for those coming out of the milleniel reign of Christ which God will permit them to take since they can "see" Jesus as the reigning God over them; so they can't really be saved by faith, now can they? That is...

    What grieves the holy spirit?

    Any sowing to the works of the flesh will grieve the Holy Spirit, but in these latter days, as many are falling away from the faith in giving heed to seducing spirits in thinking they are the Holy Spirit, I am sure that is grieving the Holy Spirit as well. The Holy Spirit can be grieved by...

    Love the Lord, or go to hell

    Which statement are you asking about? The title of your thread or the poll question, because they do not mean the same thing. If the title of the thread; then think of it as it is actually happening which is to call on the Lord to save you from your bondage to sin and to death or keep going...

    Being a Christian vs being Christ-like

    You may have missed the context when Paul goes back and forth between how we were before as sinners and then now as saved believers. Romans 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. That is the basis...

    Being a Christian vs being Christ-like

    May the Lord Jesus Christ encourage you through His words. Psalm 27:7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. 8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face,Lord, will I seek......13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the...

    Problems With the Nicene Creed of 381 A.D.

    Not really. Using the KJV, I find Matthew 6:1 talking about not giving in view of people. Matthew 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. As for creeds itself; there is a basis for speaking the same...

    Being a Christian vs being Christ-like

    You have Jesus, don't you? He is in you and is with you always. Trust Him to be your personal Good Shepherd to help you live as His.

    Problems With the Nicene Creed of 381 A.D.

    There are two outstanding problems that I have with the Nicene creed of 381 A.D., but before I start, it should be known that I believe in the Triune God; the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost are the three Persons or three Witnesses within the One God. Did you get that? I believe that...

    What to do if one of your Christian Children were homosexual?

    Here is where homosexuality comes from in according to the scripture. Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became...

    What to do if one of your Christian Children were homosexual?

    Have you ever come across a scripture in the N.T. that says that if any brother is a fornicator that he is not a brother then? All I see is the command to withdraw from fellowship with them to admonish them as brothers into repentance. 1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to...

    Being a Christian vs being Christ-like

    I'm right there with you by the grace of God and His help because I do not go to church either, but I thank Him for helping me to trust Him as my Good Shepherd in being my Friend in keeping me as His friend in following Him and abiding in Him & His words since keeping the faith is the good fight.

    What to do if one of your Christian Children were homosexual?

    Those who profess Him and yet live in sin are still to be treated as His and because they are His, you are to correct or rebuke them by the scripture, brother. And if they do not look to Jesus for help to deliver them from that sin, and refuse to repent, then you need to withdraw from...
