In order to humble yourself to God you must know that God is God. How can any sinner humble themselves to God without knowing that God is God?
You are in effect saying God did not offer any hope for arrogant sinners, and that God none forgives pride. Iow pride is the unforgivable sin.
And...
Just as I said.
Why be picky?
(John 14:26) But the helper, the holy spirit, which the Father will send in my name, that one will teach you all things and bring back to your minds all the things I told you.
So, if you can, explain how the verse you pulled and quoted, supports your claim. It...
I believe it is not a stretch to view guidance as being more than what you wish it to be. Actually what basis do you have for constricting the term to mere personal leading?
John16:13 is not talking about giving the authors of the gospels, whoever they actually might have been, behind the scenes details of what happened when the disciples weren't there so they could fill in gaps in their narrative stories about Jesus! :) Reading it that way is in fact, total...
If you read the whole post and the scriptures that you are choosing to ignore you will see why your teachings are not biblical or supported in the bible. Gods Word does not teach lawlessness like you are promoting here. As posted earlier according to the scriptures, we are saved by Gods grace...
Your micro-quoting again and not reading the posts you are quoting from. According to the scriptures the the difference is that God only give His Spirit to those who believe and obey His Word (Acts 5:32; Acts 2:38). The test to know if someone knows God and is from God is if they keep His...
And what if someone believes they are doing just those things, and yet they walk away reading something differently from what you are reading from it? You shouldn't assume that they are sinning or hating or disobeying God, because they sincerely understand it differently from you, should you...
For me it is very easy. Read what the scripture context says word for word. Don't read into the scripture what the scriptures are not saying. The most important thing is to pray and ask God for His Spirit to be your personal guide and teacher. (see 2 Timothy 3:15-16; Matthew 4:4; John 14:26...
Yep I did not think you would respond to any of the scriptures and post content you are responding to. Please do not be dishonest dear friend. All your questions were answered which is why you do not quote them here. Re-posted here again for all to see....
You have repeated this question three...
Holy Banananas from the 600 pound gorrilla in the middle of the room! Yikes.
Let's try this again, and just keep them to simply yes or no answers, or short answers using your own words without barraging me with a 1000 bible references to hide yourself behind:
Are your interpretations of...
I treat you and everyone else here with respect but you judge me for sharing scripture which is Gods Word not my words that are in disagreement with you.
You have repeated this question three time now in this post and it has already been answered. As posted earlier Gods Words are not my words...
There is no truth in your words. I have indeed answered your questions with scripture which are Gods Words not my words but you do not believe them. According to the scriptures God gives His Spirit to guide and teach those who believe and obey him (Acts 5:29; 32). I believe that God is my guide...
Your words have no truth in them as you seek to deny Gods Words with your words in order to justify sin which is defined in the scriptures as breaking Gods law and not believing and following what Gods Word say (see 1 John 3:4; Romans 14:23). As posted in the post you are quoting from and the...
You still do not grasp what I am saying here. Even if Jesus himself stood in front of you in person and spoke using words and sentences and the normal structures of language, directly to your face, you would still have to interpret his words though the filters of your mind, your culture, your...
No that is not true at all. It is you who fails to understand that according to the scriptures, the bible is the inspired words of God to mankind that we are to believe and follow in order to receive Gods salvation (2 Timothy 3:16; John 8:31-36). Scripture makes us wise unto salvation (2 Timothy...
No that is what you have done. I prefer to read what is in the scriptures not read what is not in the scripture and pray for Gods guidance and help through His Spirit claiming His promises in John 7:17; John 14:26; John16:13; 1 John 2:27 which is a part of Gods new covenant promise in Hebrews...
Brian, I have only provided scripture for this OP. Yes I have prayerfully done my homework asking Jesus and seeking to know Him through His Words and claiming His promises to be my guide and teacher through His Spirit (see John 7:17; John 14:26; John16:13; 1 John 2:27 conditional to John...
Jesus wants to lead the rich young ruler to perfection, but I don't know if your assumption about the reason the 1st 4 commands are left out is true.
Well loving God and neighbour is a summary of all the law and prophets, not just the 10 Commandments.
Again, loving God and fellow man is a...
Yea I have studied these scriptures in detail for myself Brian asking for Gods guideline and claiming Gods promises. We have all been taught lies in Sunday school. Its best to study the bible for your self claiming Gods promises in John 14:26; John16:13; John 7:17; 1 John 2:27. God wants to be...
Jesus did not say he had finished his saving mission on earth and the world will 'temporarily' not see him.
Jesus said the world would not see him ever again.
John 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
John 17:11 And now I...
