I have been given gift by the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and it is the Spirit of wisdom and understanding which was given to me by the Lord. I do not proclaim this gift as my own wisdom, but what it is, it is of the Lord. It is given me to edify the Body of Christ, but people have rejected it. And even saying I have received this gift from the Lord will cause me to be ridiculed and mocked. But I know that the Lord is with me, as was the Father with Jesus when he was mocked and ridiculed by those who understood not. :)
Needless to say, I have been given the gift of prophesy, this prophesy has shown me discernment for which Ill not believe or agree with what you say. For this above post shows pride. All your I and mes.

Amen to that..to me his brag and boast of being enlightened, of the Lord, anointed etc. are all proofs that he is not of God.....many will come boasting of their special anointing....they are not of Jesus....

Well hate to burst your bubble again but the Apostle Paul says it is only wrong to boast about things done by self, not boasting of things done by Christ in and through a person by the Holy Spirit. For even the Apostle Paul boasted about Christ working through Him;

2 Corinthians 10:17

“Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

If asking questions that point people to truth, to get them to ask questions they need to ask, instead of simply swallowing the lies and blasphemies of others is "a trap," then I am guilty. But you, my friend, are the one trapped, with the nonsense ISIT and his buddies ensnare you with.

Why don't you read that last post I made to him, and use the Holy Spirit's guidance to see if what he said made sense, or if what I said made sense? Don't be swept up in emotion. Seek the truth!
He is anointed and she is his disciple......it is impossible for the truth to get through......!

Do whatever you wish, but just because you believe you are more righteous then others and will never admit when you are wrong shows your character. I pray to God you will see and acknowledge your short comings !!!

For it is better to be peaceful, friendly, and respectful toward others as we are commanded to be, then to constantly belittle, demean, making sarcastic remarks, and even go as far as making condemning remarks toward others that you and a few others have done on this site..............Then you make a public insincere apology as it shows by your continuing to treat them the same way, and refuse to make a sincere personal apology !!!!

I tried to remind everybody of this with my thread "Which wisdom?", but it has apparently fallen upon many deaf ears so far.

First of all where did I claim to be more righteous than others.....so your lie and accusation here is of the devil....you just lost your salvation by your own doctrine.....I have no problem in acknowledging my short comings and your judgment of my open apology is also judgmental and accusatory and judges motive....more sin on your part.....good luck...your lost by your own dogma....

Parallel verse to John 14:26
Actually, it's not "parallel" at all to John 14:26

2My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.6But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
It is, however, a parallel to Philippians 4:13, which we were discussing on the other thread, but like that one, you've alsolifted this out of context and robbed it of its meaning. And it teaches that God "gives," not that God "empowers."

Rejoice in what? Power? No! Trials! Why? Because they build faith that produces endurance -- or as your version says, "patience." There is nothing about supernatural power being passed from God to man here, and what's more, you will never find such a thing outside of the major prophets of the Old Testament, at the time of Moses and Joshua, and then again with Elijah and Elisha, until you see it among the apostles. Signs, wonders, and miracles simply are not the consistent economy of God. They ae the exception, and we do not live in times of the exception.

And don't any dare to claim, by that statement, I deny the power of the Holy Spirit! What I deny is that you have His power. You don't.

Apostle Paul constantly boasted about what the Lord has done in and through Him, and it was not considered as pride, so why do some of you consider it that way when others now days speak just as Paul did ?

Apostle Paul says we are to mimic him as he also mimics Christ, meaning we are all to act and walk the same in one accord.
That way is by love, mercy, and forgiving of others...................Not putting them down, being sarcastic, and evening condemning toward them as others have done on here...

Yes they are parallel because God shows no personal favoritism.........

What the original Apostles were given by the Holy Spirit we also are given those same things, as James says clearly that God by the Holy Spirit gives all believers the truth in His word. Not just the Apostles, so if that is what you believe then you believe as the Catholic church that only the Apostles can teach the word.

That is completely false as all believers are given the knowledge of God by the Holy Spirit when they pray to God for the understanding.

I have not the robbed the meaning of it one bit, it is those of you who claim the Holy Spirit will not guide you in all truth when you ask God. Nice try but the Holy Spirit does do what the bible says He does, rather you want to say He doesn't or not.

I trust in the scriptures of God and not your twist of them to make us exempt from the workings of the Holy Spirit...........

You cant know anything, given I am even accused of believing things through your side of things that I have never ever professed, which are lies, I just never answered to them when accused of the same, and watched how these things spread throughout the forums (where someone could be easiliy quoted if true. I watched the biggest perpetuators of those same lies and all the persons who would jump on board with them willing to believe a lie and run off to repeat the lie in agreement with those who bear false witness about others) and do so without ever quoting words from me on those very things. And just to see how a flock of vultures sets itself up to swoop down on someone as their prey and to see how bad it could get (as they flap their lips on every thread) while I say nothing but at some point in time to ask them (finally) to go fetch all these accusations (out of my own lips) and not out of someone elses.

I have watched this be done to other posters here, and since it seems to be LET those that are LET must have "other support" for their evil to continue on in the way they do.

Its no different from junior high (here) with a bunch of folks (considering their age) would be beyond their loyalty to their little clicks (verses Christ their Lord) in paying forward their abuse and false accusations and excusing themselves in these lpack attacks. What cowards, that it takes a brood of you jump on a man. Everyone gets it you hate the guy and yet you can excuse yourselves from loving him while holding him accountable for somehow not speaking "gentle words" (while he is quoting the scriptures ) but they hate on him with their own.

All the sweet talk here is insincere, I have never seen such an epidemic of slandering all over threads while kissing each other with the same mouth they kiss their mother with. I figured just wait... and wait... and watch and see who joins in with them and then ask them to fetch these very things, and keyword searches and an open forum where you cannot edit things is very helpful in this matter.

This is a BIBLE discussion thread, if YOU like NEWS (as I know YOU do) have fun! If You love speaking YOUR MIND theres a thread set apart (even here) for just that purpose, You want to viciously attack a man over and over again as is done against Jason you are free to do so, You all just make yourselves evident as reprobates while believing others to be just that.

Me and InSpirit differ on some things (hate to dissapoint ya) I know how difficult it is to deal with folks who are not always in the same corner on everything, but you have to deal with it. The same with me and Jason (who, I actually had to look up and take note of because of all the unfair persecution against the man) by supposed brothers. And a man I had on ignore for some months prior. BUT there it is, the second someone supports anyone you people destest they become THE enemy too, thats what you people do.

I will gladly be considered an enemy to all the evil you people do to others here

You deserve one another.

Nice try at trying to reverse it on me as I have not been condemning toward you or any other on here as you have.....

Stating for you to take your own advice is not belittling but correcting your attitude toward others that you refuse to admit to. I have tried the friendly approach with you so long, and I really don't want to have to escalate to go to a harsh tough love with you that the Holy Spirit wants me to do......

I don't like using harsh words from the bible but I will if I must, but then again you might spin and or reject what they say as well.

For we are not to be condemning toward others but you have done this to others, and the Holy Spirit is speaking the words of James to me right now...........Learn to bridle your tongue !!!

Context, context, context ... Good grief!

No where in the context of that verse, the context stretching from v. 1 all the way through the chapter, does Paul claim to have done anything because Christ did it "in and through" him. This is a concept with roots in the charismatic movement, but it is biblically unsupportable. Paul says nothing was done by him or by anyone else, except the preaching of the Gospel, and what he warns of boasting about is the boasting the Corinthians did by claiming the work of other men for themselves.

With each effort you make, you prove more and more to those with discernment that you really are biblically illiterate, just as is ISIT. I wouldd think you would want to do something about that, other than continually proving how wrong you can be.

Firstly hon, I have been in Jesus Christ for 25 years, I met InSpirit a few years ago, I am no ones disciple

And I would never be yours either

But I would rather be his then yours, all you do is go around and bear false witness and rant and rave on others.

Totally irrelevant to what I said, and it doesn't even match up with what you claimed about John 14:26, so you talk in gibberish with no apparent connection from one post to the other.

What the original Apostles were given by the Holy Spirit we also are given those same things, as James says clearly that God by the Holy Spirit gives all believers the truth in His word. Not just the Apostles, so if that is what you believe then you believe as the Catholic church that only the Apostles can teach the word.
Ken, now I'm not even sure English is your first language, because there is nothing in what I said that would give any basis to your erroneous leap to a conclusion about what I said.

That is, "knowledge" and "remembrance" were relative to Christ's ministry, to which the apostles were the only witnesses who wrote down their experiences with Him, including Paul. For you to come out with the garbage you posted here tells me you can't follow a train of thought, or you deliberately twist and shred what someone says so as to create a straw man you can then knock down.

I have not the robbed the meaning of it one bit, it is those of you who claim the Holy Spirit will not guide you in all truth when you ask God.
See? You just accused me of that which I very carefully warned you not to accuse me. To you, my making the factual statement that we have no power, that only the Holy Spirit has power, is a denial of the Holy Spirit. That's deliberate denial of truth, or it is an intellectual incapability of following a line of thought, and I know you're not stupid.

So cut the crap and stop making baseless accusations. Denying signs, wonders, and miracles in today's world is not denial of the Holy Spirit. It is denial that men are supernaturally empowered, and you have yet to find me a valid biblical passage that teaches otherwise. You've managed only to twist, obfuscate, deny, or just plain lie, and I've had it up to here with your circular arguments and pointless diatribes that are nothing more than clanging gongs and clashing cymbals.

The Holy Spirit has power. He uses it in unlimited proportions to accomplish things for God, who uses us as His instruments. We can't do anything. We are powerless, a burnt-out light bulb. But Christ is the Light, and when He shines, we reflect His glory. That doesn't mean we have anything but the Holy Spirit within us, because we believe.

Nice try but the Holy Spirit does do what the bible says He does ...
I agree, but you don't really understand what it says about Him.

I trust in the scriptures of God ...
You don't even know what they say, and you make up explanations to fit your false doctrine.

I wonder, have you noticed? Your little buddy couldn't stand the heat, so he got out of the kitchen. Maybe its time for you to go, too.

I have to say that when I venture into the BDF, the verses which come to mind aren't those which speak of gentle, patient, non-striving servants of the Lord who are walking in the meekness of wisdom, but instead visions of ravening wolves immediately come to mind or the types of vultures which you just described. What is wrong with some people here? Seriously, I ask once again that everybody here check out the two different types of wisdom which James described in his epistle and honestly ask the Lord which category you fit into. Some people here seem to be so blinded by their hatred for others and their own pride that I wonder if there's any hope for them at all. At my end, I'm praying for everybody and that includes myself. They say that you don't get a second chance to make a first impression. If I wasn't already firmly rooted in the Lord when I came here, then I would have walked away, no, run away, fully believing that this was a site primarily inhabited by godless devils. For those on this forum who post civilly and respectfully, I commend you, but you seem to be in the minority here.
