We know that in the last days there will be mockers, who ask, "Where is the promise of His coming?"

Seems we have those mockers right here.

Nah. I know he's coming. His word (scripture) tells me he is coming. I have faith he will keep his word. I do not need a modern day prophet to tell me this. God already did.

I will tell you a truth that you will not understand or believe.

Scripture does not tell you anything. It is the One who is the inspiration for and of scripture who will tell you something. Inspiration is continois, not a once upon a time thing.

That song which says that "Jesus loves me, this I know, because the bible tells me so," is so wrong. If that is the only way that we know His love, because we read some words, then we are to be pittied above all men.

The fruit of the Holy Spirit is love.

And you know that only because you have read it in the bible?

How sad.
how condescending and misleading and judgmental. :(

Does the Bible teach people how to live godly lives?

does the Holy Spirit enable people to do it?

what fault do you find in my statements?

Not "only" VW. She knows in her heart that it is true because she has believed and trusted in Jesus Christ......and learned of Him thru God's Word by His Spirit.

shhh you might hurt his feelings and its not that the Bible isn't "necessary" it is that "experiences" and "feelings" are more important to some. he likes to refer to it as "behind the veil" or "having a personal relationship with God" where you get to go around telling everyone else they are not as special as you because you somehow have a more personal pipeline to God then everyone else and can go "behind the veil"

you know the normal annointing of the Holy Spirit is not enough we got to seek that double portion. :(

sorry its been a rough day. I'm going to go read my Bible and pray. I'll talk to you guys tomorrow. nit. :(

Well, I mean as long as he doesn't read the bible then he can't "know" what he is doing is considered unscriptual. Ignorance is bliss, yo!

Why do I get the feeling that people only know about God, and have never actually come to know Him.

God chose us from the beginning of creation that we be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. Well, it seems to me that Jesus knew the Father.

I want to be like Jesus, and know the Father personally, and be able to hear Him and say what I hear Him saying, and to see Him and do as I see Him doing in heaven. Then I will know, beyond any doubt that I am doing His work, and speaking His words, and pleasing Him.

But some would rather take the bible and read and understand and with their own wisdom, and then run willy nilly, every which way, but don't let them hear from God, because they already know what He will say.

How do you know that I don't read the bible?

Oddly enough, I quote scripture almost all the time.

What you are doing is not scriptural. It is written that everyone who is led by the Holy Spirit is a child of God. Notice that it is not written that everyone who is led by the bible is a child of God.
