• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What 'Miracles' will we see in the Last Days?

Pete, i started it, im as guilty of forcing my thoughts as he is. But just as we tell people about jesus so that they may come to him. Im trying to tell people that God wants to do miracles through them and speak to them, and why he hasnt, so they will know to what God has called them, and go to God and spend time with him, and find him through Jesus Christ.
Why are you trying to interpose yourself into the relationship between an individual and his God? If God wants to do miracles with anyone is that not His prerogative rather than the individual's.

No, it is speaking from our spirits, not our mind.
1 Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth but my understanding is unfruitful.

There is always purpose in what God does, so if it is to allow one to speak in other languages of man that a person cannot understand, I can accept that but its best to do it for themselves. Not speak out in church to no use...

I come from the islands and know what evil can do and make one say when it takes possession over a man, and it is not a 'miracle' from the divine in any sense of the word....

Im not trying to interpose that of my own self, but show the individual how God has put forth to bless him. Like telling a jew that God sent Jesus for him. Im telling you that God's provided tongues as a gateway to the fruits and manifestations of the spirit that are listed in the bible.

Tongues is not soul, it is spirit, and our opinions and tastes are of no consequence, for
John 4:24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."

If God wants to do miracles with anyone is that not His prerogative rather than the individual's.
He already wants to. He longs to bless one so greatly, not with carnal blessings, but with spiritual ones and an upright character. God longs to be with us more than any desire we can comprehend, such is his heart.

Yes i agree.

O k, and paul in the the bible says he would like everyone to speak in tongues (no man understands, uttering mysteries). It is not demonic.

What do you think God called you to? When you ate at your fathers house did he only give you barely enough to survive? No, you stuffed your face at your fathers table.

Do you not want to hear God's voice? It is a good thing to desire the miracles of God, and we can come humbly in Jesus Christ and wait on him and in time he will work.

Collosians 3:1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

Maybe prophecy in one, words of knowledge in another, healing in one. However God wills to work, but his will is to speak to us and guide us.

1 Corinthians 12:7-10 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit. To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit. To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

You seem to forget, that there are also spirits of evil that can speak from those they control...

Luke 4:41
And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.


1 John 4:1
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Yes i know.
If tongues was demonic, why would paul thank God for speaking thousands of unintelligible words in it?

Just because their are counterfeit dollars, do we stop using the dollar?

Yes, yes

Luke 11: 11-13"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

God doesnt give us a demon if we ask for the Holy Spirit.

Just because you are in church doesnt mean that evil cant come in with the person under its power......

Well we have something in common. I was born in the US and have observed firsthand the evil people do when they act for the self-interest of the few, and not the good of humankind. And the small print at the bottom – "no satan required."

All 'evil' comes from the same place, no matter how it is 'packaged'.....:)
