    Praying Upwards and Commanding Downwards

    You say, Well. let's see -- I don't think these things are taught "exactly" anywhere in Scripture... Is that a problem with you? Doesn't bother me in the least. KingdomScribe P.S. Personally, I don't believe your understanding and interpretation of GOD'S Word is an acceptable...

    Want a new subtopic for Dreams and Visions?

    Swifteagle is right. IMO, many threads disintegrate under the weight of a contentious spirit. If a thread becomes a contentious debate, those who otherwise would share things both personal and precious, will be run off. Maybe the OP can specifically exclude debate about dreams & visions...

    Leaving Our Flesh Behind

    Your point about the flesh is right and VERY important, but first... You can SAY we're not "born" sinners -- but it's NOT HARD to get that implication from Paul: Enough of that...Now, about the "sinful flesh"... (a much more important issue...) It is VITAL that we understand that the...

    Tithing:

    probinson [Pete?] I've been following this senseless thread and have to say your tenacity for the Truth is encouraging to me. This isn't to say I need encouragement as to tithing... No way... Too much real life experience coupled with clear Scripture!!! (Oh my gosh...HECK...I just can't HELP...

    Greeters Annex - fellowship for greeters and newbies (2)

    Hey! I got up this morning, and you were on my PM list... [Just in case you haven't got the jargon yet, "PM" means "Private Message" --- any time you "buddy" with someone, the CF (Christian Forums) system automatically sends a PM to that person.] In the blue bands at the top of many pages...

    I still crave the world.

    Lpe04 quoted Gal 5.22-23, but I like the whole paragraph. Quite a list. Not everything will apply. But if something here or there in the list does apply... (Well, like I said -- "Wow! Pretty harsh!") Love the Bible -- love the Word... KingdomScribe P.S. Jesus said, "If you love Me...

    I still crave the world.

    All of the posts are great, and so is the OP as well. Sorry -- the "craving" for destructive things of our life before Jesus Christ will never cease. They can get less intense -- but they'll always show up when you least expect or want them to. So you're goal isn't to "lose" the...

    Scared

    I wouldn't be happy to have to take such a class either. I have better things to think about. But it won't hurt to "look through another man's eyes" -- like Susana says, it'll help you "learn to discern the difference between the wisdom of God and the wisdom of man." That, BTW, is a useful...

    Eateth and drinketh damnation?

    As far as what is most important, oscarr nailed it -- ministering condemnation through that particular interpretation. Thanks oscarr, for reminding us that knowledge "puffs up" but love edifies! But Mr. Saint and "Lovings" hit the nail on the head by observing the context I appreciate that and...

    Matthew 25.31-46

    Playing games? YOU said, The "game" is when I asked if you meant that anyone who "contended" with you was carnal or spiritually dead... ...you went on to claim that you were not saying people would be in trouble if they "contended" with "you", but that anyone who disagrees with "this"...

    Matthew 25.31-46

    Let's try a simple "yes" or "no" question: When you said, "Ergo, anyone who contends with this, after all that has been said, does so because of the flesh..." ...does the pronoun "this" refer to your original remarks? KingdomScribe

    Matthew 25.31-46

    I said that maybe I misread what you meant -- so tell me... Contends with WHAT? What is the "this" that should not be contended with? (May I ever so humbly inquire if the "this" that should not be "contended with" is the "argument" or "proof" you printed in the OP?) KingdomScribe...

    Matthew 25.31-46

    You know when you get that unpleasant sense that something smells... well...like checking your shoes? I think it's that line, there, Power -- "Ergo, anyone who contends with this, after all that has been said, does so because of the flesh. Whether that is unregeneration or a carnal Christian...

    Are Men And Women Equal?

    Upon_This_Rock? I think you need to look at this a little more carefully. Number 1 -- there is no and never has been a "benevolent slave society", though almost every slave society has tried to present itself as "benevolent" in one fashion or another. There is NO scholar or historian of...
