    The concept of "already but not yet", i.e., "I am" but not yet. Yeah right!

    This teaching was used on another thread as a way of rationalizing hearing the truth from God...but not seeing it (yet). Sorry folks, that is called blindness. When the scriptures come in present and past tense - that is what it means; and if you don't understand the timeless, eternal nature...

    ABOUT TIME

    If in ones ability to reason, knowing that time is not a part of the kingdom, but rather a part of the created world, what sense does it make to take up a worldly perspective? For example, if one were interested in learning a new language...would it make reasonable sense to hold fast to your old...

    We LOVE the CATHOLICS!

    This is a debate forum and things get said that could and often should be considered as harsh. But, for the record...most of us here LOVE THE CATHOLICS. Do we disagree on things? Yes, but we do so as parent and child. Allow me to explain: We are indeed the children of the fathers of the...

    Surely I'm a Wacko!

    So...I was just accused by a Mod on another forum of "new age" "mystic" "nonsense." To which I responded, saying, "You are not allowing or imagining what surely must have come across the same way when Jesus said "You must be born again" and "You must eat of My flesh and drink of My blood."...

    How is it that the Spirit of truth "will not speak on His own authority?"

    What would you say: How is it that the Spirit of truth "will not speak on His own authority?" John 16:13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you...

    Scripture is not the last word.

    We often hear that the test of any comment or doctrine is scripture, and certainly it is a good test. It's just not the last word, nor is it the best test. Nor should it be considered our last line of defense. To do so, is to admit that we do not understand where we are in God's master plan of...

    Can anybody really tell what time it is?

    Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Luke 13:32 And He said to them, “Go, tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.’ Revelation 1:19 Write the things which you have seen, and the...

    Stand with us.

    Stand with us. ...And that is where it all went wrong in the NFL (kneeling instead of standing). Instead of standing with and for the country that fought and died to end slavery, who championed the civil rights movement, rights to vote for minorities and women, who loved and elevated people of...

    Paradoxical Truth

    Much of what goes on in a Christian forum is not unlike what goes on in the church. One scripture is pit against another as if God was against himself, where seemingly contradictory scriptures become doctrine that divides. Is this not just like children? Indeed, it is. So, we need not be...

    Peter's cool - but what about revelations from our Father in Heaven?

    Apparently the Catholic a Protestant rift centers on "who" Jesus was referring to when he declared how he would build his church. But why take sides? In the passages below Jesus referred to "Peter", "Himself", and his "Father in heaven." Matthew 16:13-20 13 When Jesus came to the region of...

    The Bible is more a record of those who "know", than those who "believe."

    The term "believers" has become the common assumed position of those who come to, and follow, God and Christ. However, at the core of the believing community, are those who do not believe by faith at all, but "know" without a shadow of doubt, the truth of God and Christ because of "first hand"...

    ScottA here!

    I spent a lot of time on the old PROPHECY TALK forum..about 7000 posts.....I hear there are others. It's been months now since they went offline (not sure what happened), but I am out looking on the boards again. Guess I will dive in when I get the chance.
