The gospel I have in my heart is right on and you know it because it was given by grace through a pastor-teacher that God raised up for the church to teach the word and doctrine. Many of you scoff at that because you do not know the scriptures on it because you never have been taught specific categorical doctrine. How shall they hear without a preacher? You don't take that seriously in relationship to the gospel, the word and doctrine being taught and training up the believer for the work of the ministry and for the details of life in the plan of God. You think that you can learn everything on your own and you can't and I don't care how much of the Holy Spirit you think you have. We receive from God through humility and by submitting ourselves under the mighty hand of God, which means we are to be under a flesh and blood pastor-teacher that teaches the whole counsel of God through categorical doctrine. There is no humility without submission to those that are over us in the Lord and we are to submit and obey what they teach. mmm what about the verses about not calling anyone RABBI? this sounds like hindu guru worship instead of a proper relationship.... we do not obey EVERYTHING they teach unless it agrees with what GOD teaches and we determine this from the BIBLE and the guidance of the HOLY SPIRIT. I have sat under lots of pastors and one told me to leave any church that values the BIBLE and tells me that Jesus is the only way to God. He also believed that homosexuals were ok to be ordained and other things. He was a pastor and part of the demonination my adopted grandmother belonged too. I sat under him for four years and still thought he was wrong but thought at you did that we should subit and obey what they teach. It is false to obey the PASTOR over obeying GOD.

We learn from others that God places us under, who are over us in the Lord, so that we don't get off through an independent spirit and think we know everything because we don't and because the whole head is sick and the heart is deceitful. Zone, you don't want to put yourself under anyone, not the all knowing and all powerful Zone, the great conspirator. No sir, Zone has it all down and has done her homework and never put herself under a pastor-teacher and learned how to receive doctrine and grace through humility. If I was your teacher, and I AM NOT, I would tell you that you have been doing the wrong homework assignment and you get no credit for it, but I would not condemn you, just stir you up a little. Most of these other guys and gals on this site, that you consider your friends, have not either.

Some of them think they have knowledge and they are nothing more that pompous donkeys. You betray friendships when your mood changes or you don't like what they believe or have to say. A friend loves at all times and your not mature enough to know that kind of love with all your vast knowledge or to even be a friend that stick closer than a brother. You have no idea what that means because you don't have that kind of love in your heart to discern those kind of friends that overlook your moods and mental blocks that keep you from receiving grace from God through the body of Christ. There are only a hand full of people that would lay their life down for you. Are you going to betray them through your doctrine and settle for those that can only offer you like-minded doctrine through personality rapport? They don't know what intimate fellowship is. They just live in some abstract idea of what a Christian is suppose to be like and hope they can live up.
ok i get your comments now, Zone. before I read this post I was trying to figure out the implied meanings and tone but yeah....after reading this I get it...with the references of HW and credit and citing sources and all.....:rolleyes:

Ok Red do you know what true intimate fellowship really is? do you seek it in these forums?


I'm going to see what other post I might have missed....

Predestined, 1000 year reign hmm <stands up>

Looks to the left and looks to the right. Well i by no means can say 100% either way. I do believe that faith, hope and love abide. The greatest of these is love. <clears his throat>
Lamentations 2:14 HCSB "Your prophets saw visions for you that were empty and deceptive; they did not reveal your guilt and so restore your fortunes. They saw oracles for you that were empty and misleading."
Habakkuk 3:2 HCSB "Lord, I have heard the report about you; Lord, I stand in awe of Your deeds. Revive Your work in these years; make it known in these years. In Your wrath remember mercy!"
Mark 4:3-8 HCSB Jesus says "Listen! Consider the sower who went out to sow. As he(she) sowed this occured: Some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Other seed fell on rocky ground where it didn't have much soil, and it sprang up right away, since it didn't have deep soil, When the sun came up, it was scorched, and since it didn't have a root it withered. Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it didn't produce a crop. Still others fell on good ground and produced a crop that increased 30, 60, and 100 times what was sown."

What happens to an army when you remove the commander? It falls apart. It is not that they will not be able to do stuff. it is that their power will be limited greatly. Satan is their power. As Christ is ours. Remove Christ and we would be detroyed. Remove satan, and well you get the picture.
Satan is NOT their power. Satan is not all powerful and gets his power from his disciples which why he seeks to gain followers,
while in contrast GOD gives power to his disciples.

you see Satan has no power except lies and deception but he or his minions can pervert people who God has given power and duties to do his will instead of God's. His minions can work without him directing them. just as men can sin without anyone tell them to do evil.


Some of the fallen angels used to be in power over nations of the world but were removed when they had people worship THEM instead of GOD who created the universe.

What is a commander without his army if not just a mere man?

What is JESUS without us? HE is still LORD and Savior.

What is Satan without his army? a defeated Dragon.

What is the army without a commander? a bunch of armed men itching for a fight who most likely will become robbers with no self control or direction

What are believers of Jesus without the HOLY SPIRIT leading them? a bunch of people arguing about words and ideas and showing no love, light or understanding of God.

sorry I think I need to go pray are something.

hey EG can we continue this on a different thread?

we have vastly different readings of scriptures.

you mentioned you saw the danger on dispensional philosiphy could you list them?

First of all this was my answer to zone, not you...I find you rude and obnoxious and wont answer anymore of your posts except this one. I never claimed to be pre-trib...dont put words in my mouth. The kingdom of God is within us YES. Because His kingdom connects all believers through the Holy Spirit who happens to work through us and in us. You ignore what I point out as far as sequence of events is concerned because you just want to put your own puzzle pieces together to fit your own picture that you are Stuck with now. None of your theory makes sense nor is it scriptural. Read Rev. 19 and 20-21 again and lay aside your unreasonable doctrine, which is false.
Huh? Not pre-trib?

Whats this then:

"She (the wife) is given fine linen. I believe this multitude is the raptured church that was secure during the judgment of the harlot.
Next: Heaven opens!! Christ returns to earth.
"

He is not bound....binding of satan comes after the return of Christ. Read Rev. 19-20-21 over and over until this sinks in. :) dont get caught up in false doctrine. Satan is very much alive and kicking he aint going nowhere until Jesus returns.
No one said satan is not alive and kicking. We said he's bound from deceiving the nations and bringing them to battle against the saints.

What? So if I go out and murder someone Satan made me do it? Then why am I Held accountbale if it is satans fault.
You are held accountable because you gave in to the TEMPTER.

Do you think Satan is omniscient dude? Because unless he is. He could not do what your trying to claim he does
Of course he's not. He's not God. He has an army.

Temptation comes from all placed. Stan can personally tempt us. His demonic army can tempt us. And our own flesh can tempt is with our with out satanic influence. But I have already provben this so it is a mute point/
You havnt proven that at all. You've found one verse that talks about sin but doesnt mention satan.

Ok. So ALL sin is caused by satan. Thanks (rolls eyes)

And you wonder why I could never come to your belief. This is just one of many reasons.
I will remember this the next time one of my kids says satan made me do it
Satan caused sin right from Adam and Eve. He is the evil of the world. If your kid says satan made me do it, then tell 'em not to give in to his TEMPTATION.

What one example? WHo is it? I assume it is satan or one of his demons. Satan can not temp me and you at the same time. He is not going to waste his time on an induvidual (except people like peter or Job. WHo can really damage his plans. He goes after groups of people. and organization (churches) who can harm his effort to keep the world away from Christ.
Still going for the same line?

Satan has his children to do his work for him.

You give him way to much credit.
You underestimate him.

Paul made it clear. His flesh causes him to sin. He can be tempted. But it is his flesh which must succumb to all temptation. whether the temptation be demonic or fleshly.
Who else is gonna tempt but the TEMPTER or his agents?

lol how do you know? (As you say all the time)

Many nations have done massive battle with the saints. The roman nation killed and jailed many in the name of god and called it the church. One of satans masterpieces. Even around the world today. Many nations have christians who must live in secrecy because of the armies arained against them called the state.
Ok....one more time.

Never in the history of the world has EVERY nation on earth been deceived into gathering their armies and making war against the CHURCH. Thats what satan is bound from doing.

You dont like the bibles definition of bound....so you make up your own.
We are lucky to be in a free nations. If we were like most nations. we would not be able to do what we are doing here for fear of death. And satan is bound?? Whatever :rolleyes:

You keep hurting your case dude. Your pushing me farther and farther from even contemplated your belief.
List of countries where Christians have to live in secret please?

You are your own person and you are troubled by a root of bitterness. You more than any other person have attacked God's people that have been used by God to edify the church, preach the gospel, teach the word and doctrine and win the lost to Christ. I couldn't care less about the claims you make, you are full of conspiracies and accusations against others and that is not a good thing. You need to be in the midst of an assembly of Spirit-filled believers that love God and each other and are fervent in the work of God and don't play head games with the word and doctrine, so that you can humble yourself in the presence of that love to rid yourself of that root of bitterness and lose your skepticism by totally trusting in the love, mercy and grace of God.

it doesn't say the Kingdom is WITHIN US, it says among us, meaning Christ, among THEM in that time.
He was speaking to the Pharisees.

as for doc...if you got to know him, you'd like him.
but he goes against your fav doctrines...so there will be conflict.
<raise's hand>
Wow Zone i never noticed that before.
Luke 17:21 HCSB "no one will say Look here! or There! For you see the kingdom of God is among you."

Luke 17:21 NWT "neither will people be saying, See here! or, There! For look! the kingdom of God is in YOUR midst."

Luke 17:21 NRSV "nor will they say, Look, here it is! or There it is! For, in fact, the kingdom of God is among you."

Luke 17:21 KJV "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold the kingdom of God is within you."

Wow, I had no idea this was like this. Guess I am gonna return to the KJV being my root. This is insane. Jesus says in his gospel I stand at the door and knock.

Wow, i have always feared God my whole life even when I was younger because I knew God the Father was watching me. I would let people hit me and beat me because I knew God would be mad at me if I hit them back. This is truly amazing.

When I was 22 years old I said the sinners prayer and invited Jesus Christ into my heart and He came in and healed me took away my desire to smoke cigarettes like that. Every time in my life that I would back-slide and get into doing things God didn't want me to do I would start smoking cigarettes again. Every time I would repent and turn back to Jesus for what ever I was doing wrong I would immediatly stop smoking cigerettes again.

Perhaps the reason for this is when I got saved and asked Christ Jesus into my heart I had a dream that night I saw Jesus (my interptation of what I thought he looked like) walking through an old timey village dressed in white, followed by others dressed in white. He walked upto me and offered me a pack of malboro light cigarettes i reached out to grab them and He Jesus dropped them and stepped on them. Then the dream changed and I was in a old timey bathtub rinsing myself in blood. Jesus's Holy Precious Blood.

Since then I have had other dreams with Jesus in them: I was walking and praiseing yeshua what I thought was the name of Jesus. Jesus was sitting on a rock i walked up and said Hi Jesus he said "Cameran why are you so selfish?" then i woke up.

Another time i was walking and Jesus walked upto me and I said Jesus how am I doing Jesus said "Well your not so selfish anymore."

Thanks Zone has been a eye opener.

how do I link to facebook my name is Cameran Bowles on facebook please invite as a friend or I can invite you.

The prayer i said was pretty simple: Lord Jesus i am a sinner and i ask that you, Jesus come into my heart and fix me. In the name of Jesus.

Hmm I see your point Yea I called out to God before I went to the carpentor's church.

Not sure is there a reason you shouldn't pray the sinner's prayer?

but Fencybud

KJV is the one with the error.
none of the translations are inspired, they have errors.
now that you know it's AMONG YOU, or IN YOUR MIDST, it shouldn't matter.
but do correct it when you hear it because its been used to say God is IN ALL MEN.

Ok Red do you know what true intimate fellowship really is? do you seek it in these forums?


I'm going to see what other post I might have missed....
I have, OVER and OVER and OVER, AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN when referring to a pastor-teacher have been emphatic that they are those who GOD HAS RAISED UP AND GIVEN TO THE CHURCH, not a self appointed pastor, not one that desires that office but was never called by God's grace, but those pastors that were promised to the church are after God's own heart and will feed you with knowledge and understanding (Jer 3:15). These pastor-teachers that God has called are the ones that have been given for the purpose stated in (Eph 4:11-16). They are the elders that rule well and labour in the word and doctrine and are worthy of DOUBLE honour (1Tim 5:17) and are to be obeyed (Heb 13:17).

These are the ones that look out for your soul and have to give an account of those that they have been placed over in the Lord (Heb 13:17). These are the pastor-teachers I am talking about and have always talked about. These pastor-teachers are given to the church and believers have to discern who they are, seek them out and put themselves under them through humility (1Pt 5:5,6). Through the word and the Holy Spirit in you, providing he has not been grieved, will witness as to those who have been raised up of God (Rom 8:16, 1Jn 5:6,8). They will teach the apostles' doctrine, though they be imperfect men and not women. Sorry ladies, but you will not be called or be given an office as a pastor-teacher for the church, that is for men only and the word and Spirit should also witness of that truth in you so that you don't usurp authority over a man.

If these men for any reason get off in what they teach or through personal sin, I have mentioned OVER and OVER how God will correct them and restore them in that placement they have been given for the church and how believers are to respond to their pastor-teacher in those situations. They do not betray or expose or accuse or slander or malign them at any time, even if they backslide. I point to what God thinks of those He raises up as He did with Moses and what happened to his sister Mariam when she was critical of him marrying the Ethiopian woman (Numbers 12). Don't some of you think it to be a bit unfair for Mariam to be given leprosy and sent outside the camp for (7) days and not Aaron also who had also spoke against Moses marrying the Ethiopian woman? Do any of you know why that might be? Look also at what the Lord said to Moses in (v.14)...

And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.

*footnote; this chapter is also a lesson of instruction to those who were prophets and those that God calls to be His servant.

Then we have the record of what God did to those that gave evil reports and who complained and murmured against Moses and Aaron, WHO GOD CALLED. The evil reports were those given that were not based on the promise of God. I often wonder how many of us, who profess to be redeemed by the blood of Christ, would have murmured and complained about the living conditions in the wilderness, their families not getting enough to eat, (especially the children) and always thinking that God was going to abandon them to die in the wilderness, even though they had been led by fire in the night and a cloud by day and had been given manna from heaven. However, they continued to murmur and complain in their situation and God blotted them from the book and destroyed them from entering into the promised land.

The only true intimate fellowship that we can have as believers comes from worshiping God in spirit and truth in the body of Christ. Anything else falls short and is not from above. Independent believers that live outside God's living organism, the body of Christ, can never have the kind of worship and fellowship that God's desires, nor can they be led or filled with the Spirit in their walk with God. They can have knowledge but it will be without grace and the love of God and will profit them nothing. Intimate fellowship is according to (Eph 3:9-21)...

9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: 10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, 11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: 12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. 13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. 14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named , 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. 20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think , according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
