Right in the middle of a raging war. This sodomite shindig might be a prime target for Iranian missiles and drones.

You are pardoned. You do indeed repeat much of the teaching of Watchman Née whose organization was called the Local Church. The word “church” in the New Testament refers generally to the totality of all called-out saved believers, and not one isolated local assembly in a specific location...

Your diligence in dealing with malicious trolls is appreciated. You are making this forum a safer and less stressful place to be. It amazes me what certain individuals try to get away with on Christian forums. They think they can bash and trash talk as hatefully as they want.

You seem to be aligned with Watchman Nee. Watchman Nee defined the local church as the unique, practical expression of the total Body of Christ, limited strictly to the geographical boundary of a city or town. Based on New Testament, he taught there should be only one church per...

No, my post #37 was contrasting a fake psychological event (slaying in the spirit) with a real supernatural event (slaying by the Spirit due to lying to the church leaders, and ending up physically dead).

You can display much shorter links. For example, I copied the first link in your post, up to but excluding ” /ref= “ and the rest of it, which is just unnecessary code indicating things internal to Amazon tracking. https://www.amazon.com/Dispensationalism-Charles-C-Ryrie/dp/080242189X/ Your...

The point is that if the Spirit actually slays you, your life will be over. Being Slain in The Spirit, or pneumamortation, as practiced in some dubious churches, is not a blessing recorded in the Bible. And in none of the occurrences in the Bible does someone who “falls down” in the presence of...

It is being reported that Trump will read; 2 Chronicles 7:11-22 King James Version 11 Thus Solomon finished the house of the Lord, and the king's house: and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, he prosperously effected. 12 And the Lord...

Scripture seems to support the idea that we have an angel assigned to our welfare. But there is no indication that we can talk to them, worship angels, or command them to do our bidding. Psalm 34:7 The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them. Hebrews 1:14...

You deny the scripture I quoted? Acts 5:1-11. They were slain in the spirit, literally. They died.

1Corinthians 1:17 “for Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.”

With the primitive space technology we had in 1968, we accomplished a lot more on the moon than we did with super advanced space technology in 2026. Think about it. It’s ridiculous.

Yes, God the Father created all things by speaking them into existence via the Word or Logos who is Jesus Christ.

It is poor debating when a person is obviously angry at a theology or feels smarter than those who hold it, and asks gotcha questions that betray a lack of understanding of it. Like thinking that all dispensationalists make predictions about when Christ will return or all continuationists...

I understand it as God the Father spoke the universe into existence and that speaking was the Logos, the Word, through whom all things came into being. And the Holy Spirit hovered over the face of the deep. So all three persons worked together in creation. It is truly mysterious.
