I agree. It's awesome when the Lord moves in power, but keep the focus on Jesus, the Healer! And remember, it's His kingdom, not ours.

As God directs. Not as a test or a school. That said, I know we do a terrible job of upholding our Prophets, which we are told is our best fighting tool as a body.

Be it according to your Faith. These signs shall follow them that believe.
Not sure how you connect the two. You can't circumvent God's way thru faith

God is the source of all supernatural ability. Neither devil nor man can do anything without the oversight of God.

God has always had supernatural abilities. God always will always possess supernatural abilities. He will always use them. He operates in the supernatural realm. Salvation itself is a supernatural thing.

it's just meant to say even though we read it in the Bible and obey it like it is commanded or written does not mean God has to honor it.
Oh boy :oops: :rolleyes:

Does that also apply to salvation? I'm not sure you thought through what you are saying there

i wonder if you read through the thread and know that this has been clarified? but like most Brothers and Sister's in Christ choose to make a spectacle out it.

Yes I did read through the thread and the other one that contains reference to this one. A sister in Christ was called deceiver in the other thread, not just a deceiver, but deceiver. That clarified more than just reading the thread. You can find my remarks in that thread...would be the one about false prophets for a pastor

ps...I do not hesitate to add that people saying what I referenced are creating the spectacle and you have no idea, obviously, of whether I am actually concerned, which I am, or just going for attention. God knows so I won't worry about it

I admit to knowing you are blowing your own trumpet and not the Lords

You have a good evening.

so getting caught trying to destroy a Brother in Christ character is now that Brother's fault.
what kind of Doctrine is that we read in the Bible?

Real watchmen of the Lord do not resort to ad hominin attacks.

real watchman call it like it is.

you admit to knowing it was clarified and then choose to boast it. what kind of watchman are you?
You have lost it. Nothing of the sort has happened. You simply are being silly because I questioned what you wrote. You are not a watchman. And best ignored.

A believer was called deceiver in a post and that was what my actual concern was. Which you KNOW.

You should stop while you think you are ahead.

first of all, i am not upset with you, just curious why you did it after admitting you knew it was corrected.
secondly, you are my family in Christ.
thirdly, you compounded a corrected error with another incorrect error.
don't sweat it you are forgiven.
i just wanted to know why you decided to do it after knowing it had been corrected already.

then ignore me because a real watchman of God, who knew the error was corrected, would have never mentioned it.

Nah. I'm not a part of your little club. No watchman here and never said I was.

Let God give the gifts perhaps and stop claiming you are something that you are not.

You are also not a moderator so you have no sway in what I do or do not say here. You do not tell others what to say or what not to say and you do not tell people who or what they are. None of that is up to you.

You are just one more person here, who thinks they have some kind of supernatural ability or power over others. It's nonsense.

does Jesus bring up a sin that has been forgiven?

does a follower of Christ bring up an error that has been corrected?
