@Starise Thanks for such a well thought out reply. We do, as a married couple have an approach to him specifically that always works for us.. This was just one of those instances where unusual circumstances were throwing it off... and I wasn't sure how to handle it properly. I'm not a...

Look, some people might be kept by God if they have a diminished capacity.. People with, for example, a diminished capacity need to consider the opinions and accept the suggestions of their parents or siblings, the people close to them as to what church to attend. I met a sick woman once who...

Ohh.. thanks for letting me know.

They're sexual preferences diverge from the norm. Our sexual functions, across species - just a bit of basic biology here - function the way they do in order to propagate the species. While our functioning is also built for enjoyment, that works in a particular way. If you don't do things in...

I don't know, what about this invasion of churches by those evil Calvinists? We could start there.

They don't. Why do you think people get mad when you accuse them of things that aren't even true! Because what you're accusing them of is a lie from the start.

People don't pick their neighborhood for the church they will attend. If that was the case and we demanded high quality churches instead of worrying about other things we'd be far better off societally.

"But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed" Galatians 1:8 If you don't know the Scriptures you don't know if you are hearing false doctrine.

If you don't read the written Scriptures how do you know? If you don't search the Scriptures and know what they say how do you know that is God you're learning from. You could have gone to some event, had some kind of nice emotional experience, some false teacher could have led you through a...

Oh I agree with you that a complete understanding of God is necessary... But knowing isn't letting your brain fall out. Knowing is a fullness of knowing, your intellect is as active as your spirit which rejoices. God gave us our intellect. And He gave us His Word. Anything that contracts His...

... What some people do, that I've noticed, is open up their minds to God and let their brains fall out, and then it gets filled up with the demonic.

Scripture, prayer, books, commentary, prayer, preaching, prayer, reading... You know. Learning stuff...

Do you hear the Holy Spirit? When I was first that's how I came to the doctrine I have. I was given the understanding that was basic yes? A basic doctrine. But it pointed to a specific doctrine, one I didn't yet fully understand. But that is where I began learning. Growing in...

There's a great example...

Yes, making certain all my actions line up with Scripture and I'm always using my mind as much as the Holy Spirit. Your either open to God or open to the demonic yes? We see the demonic all the time claiming to know God... So it's always about discernment I guess... Making sure in more...

Christian means follower of Christ. So you either are a follower of Christ or your not. Saying what you believe isn't Biblical isn't a good thing. Either you believe the Word of God or you believe something else.. And something else isn't good.

Let me ask you... Where do you place being mindful? You said you were placing it elsewhere.. well this is where I place it, probably where I stress it the most.

Lol it wasn't.. it was just different wording. :)

Your not Christian?

As Christians our spirit is alive with Christ, but prior to coming to faith we were dead in Spirit. Why dead? Because Christ is the life, Christ's Holy Spirit is the breath of life upon man. . We are not alive in spirit prior to that because we are born under the curse... We have a spirit, we...
