no, that is what you and your little voice in your head do. I take God's word as it is written, I dont put the little voice in my head ahead of God's written word. God teaches me the scriptures and I am always learning. Who teaches you? The scriptures are of course correct if interpreted properly.

no, I have the utmost faith in the Holy Spirit, that is why I trust His written word. It was the Holy Spirit that led the men to write the books of the bible. it is your lack of faith in the Holy Spirit that causes you to discount and disparage the Written Word of God. If you were to spend a little more time studying the written Word you would know that the Holy Spirit tells us we can be tricked by Satan. You make the sciptures say what you want them to say and then say this is what God says.

you are still dancing the dance What should two Christians do when both think they are listening to God and what they are hearing is at odds with each other? is there any other option you can think of out there other than that inner voice you are so taken with. is it possible that satan can confuse people by being the inner voice? You seem to have a problem with a lack of faith in the Holy Ghost. Please understand the Holy Ghost is real and is the most permanent stable entity of the universe. Trust Him!

This is very understandable. We all experience this. There are many reasons for this. One is that God is training you. He is guiding you further into His plan for you. Your prayers may still be answered but just not in your time it will be according to God's time and when your prayers are answered you have been brought by God to the place where you fulfill His plan.

"How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?" To me this phrase alone tells me that there is a possibility that even after one is saved they have a possibility of falling. Why would James 5:16 tell us to confess our faults one to another if we no longer sin? I mean if you can't fall from grace then you are perfect and cannot sin anymore right? So why confess one's faults? Very good post Scare Bear. You are absolutely right.

Yes, but how do you tell? (Oh, you aren't the one I asked the initial question to . . . but even still, what is your criteria or whatever?) I listen to God, but don't believe me, maybe I don't. Why take my word? Why take anyone's word? What is important for you is that you listen to God. He is always true. Man is often false. You are not alone. God's Spirit is always directing you. You follow it and then you are in God's will and can "see" what teachings are true and what teachings are false.

Then you must come across 'Herald' the Sabbatarian who by his own admission copies and pastes onto over 100 different sites. We hound him off our UK site (or at least I do) on the grounds that he doesn't come in order to fellowship in that he never posts to any thread except his own. Don't get like that my friend and brother. (I haven't been through the member's list.... maybe he's here and reading this ) Mike. PS (yeah....he's here alright....under 'herald2') I will certainly be posting to other threads. No fun in just doing one's own!

Don't get like that my friend and brother. I agree that we shouldn't spread ourselves too thin. It can have the affect of watering down the message as not enough time can be given to inquiries. You are so right, I have to be careful not to spread too thin.

I am trying to see it? What?? You mean you can't see the Emperor's clothes? Mike. Still looking........

Jesus is the Word! He is Light and the Life! He was made flesh and walked among man.

Good Post Mike!! Praise the Lord!!!

I am all for listening to the Holy Spirit. However, by what standard do you determine which though, insight, vision, whatever is actually from the Holy Spirit? How many cults and false teaching have been and are around based on what people believe they heard from the Holy Spirit? (And yes, several genuinely do believe it was the Holy Spirit.) What you write here is very very true. Lots of cults and false teachings come from people claiming to be from God or that the teaching is of the Lord. How do you tell? It is very important that you be able to tell. You must listen to God yourself. You must draw close to His Spirit in you. From there He will guide you as to what is correct and what is false.

How odd - this very same post was posted on a site called CARM.org - did you post it there? Yes I post on several sites
