Who is it you listen to, is it the Holy Spirit, the voice of God, Jesus, or is it men. Do you spend money on christian videos, books, conferences, tapes, MP3's, or did you take 5 min and sit in a quiet place and listen for His still small voice, whos understanding is it you seek. is it your own, it it your pastors, or and evangelists. whos wisdom is it you wish to have, mens or Gods, if its Gods where did you expect to find it, ? amongst men?? Does not knowledge puff up. or would you rather you be filled with knowledge then the wisdom of God. Are you looking for God?, where do you expect to find Him, did you know He is not lost, did you know that He knows where you are, did you now know, that if you open your mouth and speak, that He can hear, HE is not blind He is not deaf, and His arms are long enough to reach you wherever you are. So what it you seek.? Ask God to open your eyes, then you will see, Ask Him to open your ears, then you will hear. There are many who listen and cannot hear, there are many who look and do not see. Did you know God was silent for 2 weeks in September, did you know He did a new thing, or did you miss it, because the church never told you. So again, who do you seek, God or men, are you going to be like the money changers, and buy videos, and tapes and books to support the harlot system. The choice is yours. In His Love

Before Christs resurrection all men , "went to sleep", there was no way to heaven. Remember His words to the thief, " today you will be with me in Paradise", something was changing. After Christs death He wen to hell for 3 days, and there He preached the gospel to those who where asleep. So one can assume that these where those who accepted the gospel and where raised up into the resurrection life , then to heaven. Could not have happened before that day. I guess it also throws a spanner in the works about accepting Christ before one dies ??? In His Love

Joh_8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Mat_23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Mar_2:17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Isnt it strange, That Jesus should eat with sinners and publicans and then be accused by the religious for having a devil. Yet all these where directed at the religious not the unbeliever. Jesus came to save the lost, but if you already believe you are saved then He cant help you. The pharisees thought that with all there religious laws and duties and scripture that they had it all, but Christ continually pointed out the fact that they had nothing. Saul was a perfect example of religions ways. Yet you claim to be persecuted, you do not understand, its the church that man calls church that will be persecuting the Lords church, the Bride, because like before the religious will believe they are doing God a favour. If you do not have the evidence of God in you, then why should they listen. Keep searching UF but as I said before, if you really desire to know that God is real. Then talk to Him, it is very hard to find the evidence in christians, In His Love

Love your enemies, forgive those who have hurt you, if you cannot do these things then you do not have the love of God, if you do these things, then you are well on your way to loving Him, In His Love For the greatest of these commandments is love, in this we fullfill all the others.

If its your church I want no part of it, if its Gods church then I would love to be there, if you are going to build the church, forget it, it will only fail, now if you let God build it, then I will come. Faith is what it takes but it is something we all seem to have so little of. In His lOve

The truth is , if you compare christianity as a religion , it is no different to any other religion, look at how many murders where commited in the name of God, look at the history of the C..... church, tortued people if they wouldnt convert, forced people to go to war, telling them they would be forgiven if they went, not much different to other extreme religions is it. Walking with Christ is a faith not a relgion, relgion is a man thing and in so is full of faults. In His Love

You must understand, there is the Lords church, the spiritual one that He is building made up of living stones, and theer is mans church, the one that you see when you walk down the street. There will never be unity in " mans " church, it has too much of man in it. In His Love

Two Streams There is a mountain, the mountain of God, from which all of Gods words for man flow, and from this mountain there is a stream. which carries these words to men. Somewhere down the mountain there is a fork in this stream, the stream splits in two, one side flows through the world, and as it does, it gets contaminated by, mens religon, mens wisdom, mens teachings, mens learning, mens understanding, and alongside it there are men and women, drinking from this stream, thinking this stream bring them life, but it does not, it is slowly killing them, the banks are muddied and they strugle to leave this sream as the mud sticks to them and weighs them down, and they ae heavily burdened, And the second stream, so vastly different from the first, it flows freely, unhindered, through valleys, of mountains and fields, where all along its banks is life. There are His sheep living along this bank, they are healthy. there fleece is white as snow, and as they drink of this stream , they grow in stature and in wisdom. They look across the valley to the other stream there, where they once where, but will never return, for here they have life in abundace. In His Love In His Love

I belong to Jesus and His church, sorry it doesnt have a name. Jesus is the head, the Holy Spirit our teacher. In His Love

Missed this part, didnt you Joh 5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. In His LOve The written Word leads us to The Living Word His Son Jesus Christ... We have the written Word and The Holy Spirit within to guide us through this life to Him! He waits and watches just as the time of Stephen's stoning. He stood from His normal theological position of setting on His throne at the witness of His first fruit who would rather testify of the truth that is in Christ than keep His life... I know all this by His Written Word and the Holy Spirit Whom makes it live in my heart.... it actually burns in my heart! Love Steven So then why is it that you are not sitting at His feet and learning from Him if you alrady know about Him, you have given up the best part for the lesser. In His Love

Missed this part, didnt you Joh 5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. In His LOve

And so it is, that most christians will never know God, for the God they know is the onethey have read about and being told about by others, and they have never sought to seek His face and to Know Him as He is. And so, they will continue to bicker and fight , to mock those who speak differently, for the only truth they know is the one that has come from their own understanding, for they have no faith in God and do not seek the Holy Spirit who bears witness to the truth In His LOve

Let me put this in perspective. Does it not say, " My sheep hear my voice and will follow no other" and " I am the way the truth and the Life". Say, Jesus or the Holy Spirit speak to you, do you believe them ?? Now if you say, " i am not sure it was Jesus so ill need to read the bible". then you are saying you are not His sheep and cant hear His voice Joh 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. Now if you say, yes I jnow its Him but I need to read the bible to see if it true, then you are calling Him A liar. So which is it, do you want to be like Saul, knowing the scriptures and running around persecuting christains, or do you wish to be like Paul ( the converted saul) who only longed to know Jesus and was taught by the Holy Spirit. The choice is yours In His Love

Well at least fertilizer makes things grow. In His Love

Not quiet sure how to take that post fresno.Joe. But anyhows, after a bit of pondering, it seems to me we have a serious dilema here. You see, God never made the bible a requirement for salvation, never did He make it a requirement for being a christian, nietehr did He make it a requiremant for knowing Christ, in fact it is said My sheep Hear My voice and will follow no other" Joh 5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. or Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Then there is Paul, afte climbinng high in the Pharsee stakes, by His knowledge of teh scriptures Php 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, Then the Holy SPirit finally makes an impact, Gal 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. Gal 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. Yet the bible has become a rock in the hearts of men, unchangeable, making those who follow it unteachable, it has become to them a law unto itself, denying Christ, for they say they believe yet wont accept anything He says unless it is in the bible and there fore calling Him a liar, and professing unbelief.
