I saw in the amplified bible that privileges was in the text. I found that interesting. For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. (Luk 1:15) I felt that was...

I was thinking that might be a problem. The problem of doubt. Especially after all that he had witnessed first hand. Kind of like the children of Israel doubting God after all the miracles they witnessed first hand. Many of them died in the wilderness.

What does Jesus mean by saying the 'least in the kingdom of God' being greater than John the Baptist? For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. Luke 7:28 KJV

And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. (Act 1:7) I got caught up in eschatology quite a bit in 1995. I kept seeing holes in each position. It was as if God was telling me I was wasting my time. I believe...

It looks like Jesus prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem withing the generation He was speaking too. So, it makes sense to me that maybe John the Revelator was writing Revelation before the destruction of Jerusalem. Audience relevance is important I would agree.

Is the pulpit and monologue that we have today faithful to what God intended? Or are we missing it a bit?

yep. Demonic attack. I used to have them all the time. I even wrote a book about it.

I keep hearing people say God loves unconditionally and i don't get it. There are conditions involved! Jesus is the ONLY way to the Father. That is a condition. Belief is a condition. If they don't believe they are condemned already. God pours out wrath on unbelievers! This sounds like a...

But this does exclude! those that don't believe! continue on for more. John 3:17-18 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (18) He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already...

The wisdom of men doesn't convert people. But the power of God does. I don't argue, i pray. 1Cor 2:4; And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:1Cor 2:5; That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of...

even devotions are leaven.

I've noticed that too. Scripture encourages us to study to show ourselves approved unto God (2 Tim 2:15) i.e. the reference to the good bereans (acts 17:11). Also we shall all stand before the Judgment seat of Christ for ourselves (2 Cor 5:10). So this encourages me to just simply...

I believe we ask the Father now... Joh 16:23-24 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. (24) Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

Maybe He is waiting on you. Are you clothing the naked, visiting the widows and orphans, feeding the hungry or making disciples etc..? I have found that when i simply work the field there is always something more down the road.

I am not going to say i "believe' preterism. But it does have some really compelling arguments if you exalt the text above your experience. Considering the destruction of the Temple in AD 70 and the nature of the resurrection in 1 Cor 15... also, if you look at the infallibility of scripture...

We were convicted by the Spirit to stop.

the passage i used shows that we have to keep forgiving our brethren. continually. This constant forgiveness leaves me to think that there is a lot of conversation taking place. Now on your point of abusive behavior. I am still looking for some scripture. There are some scriptures that...

This passage is the one I was thinking of.... Matthew 18:21-22 KJV Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? (22) Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

I was doing a search on forgiveness to see what people thought about it. One of the best things i have seen recently is a movie on youtube (which is free ) about how a pastor forgave the murderer of his mother. "Live to Forgive" It's a documentary. when i saw the "forgiveness is not...

Even the Sabbath?
