Evidence that trying to get the blessings of God by other means doesn't work.

Actually, this inspired me to check it out more, and finding that on the phone version there is a link specifically for showing the new life-bits, I tried it a few times and the notification finally went away. I have not confirmed this on my laptop, though.

It isn't going to be a refresh issue because I have the same issue and I use two different browsers on my laptop plus my phone and they all show the permanent life-bit notifications.

I am happy to consider that, but be careful about presuming that things are mutually exclusive - Cancer can be BOTH from a lack of spiritual health AND something that God will reveal his glory in. And realize that what I said isn't about moral judgment on you or anyone else for being sick. The...

You just don't understand, Friend. Often when it is the guidance of the Spirit, it feels a distinct way unlike anything else, and more significantly, it's always grounded in love, truth, and righteousness - Something only possible with the discernment that comes from years of experience walking...

What does visual have to do with gifts of the Spirit??? The verse that even warns us about looking at outward appearance even says that the Lord looks at the heart (1 Sam. 16:7), and we now can have God's Spirit in our very soul to enable us to do that. How else would Ananias have known it was...

What does the world's lack of discernment have to do with understanding that is guided by the Spirit? And what of the verses I posted? Did you even read them? Here is one more passage to add to them: 1 Corinthians 2:14-16 NASB1995 "But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of...

As the saying goes - the two best days of a boater's life are the day he buys the boat and the day he sells it.

Some sins are pretty evident without having to know someone (1 Tim. 5:24, 1 Cor. 5:1-3). Also, what of spiritual discernment? My roommate in particular has a gift for knowing things about people she has never met. I do too to some extent. If a person has Holy Spirit, there is a good chance they...

Have I already shared this one from my uncle who stopped at the scene of a bridge collapse? Apparently a lady stopped suddenly on the freeway because the bridge was out. A guy pulled around her, flipped her the bird and drove right into the river. He survived without serious injury, though I...

Be sure to always pay your exorcist or you might get repossessed.

My favorite was probably Someday Came. My brother bought a boat with the name Red Sky which I like because of the Bible verse about "Red sky at night, sailor's delight..."

If you really want to understand why ask me and not God? His understanding is far above mine, I am sure.

I feel like you have an agenda rather than honest questions. I was laying out a missing piece for those who want it. If you feel that I have something that you personally need to understand for your own spiritual paradigm, you can ask and I may answer to the best of my ability though I don’t owe...

Why are you trying to be divisive? You aren't even representing what I said honestly.

As God called John the Baptist to do.

I tend to think they get sold more on self-righteous arrogance myself. Money is too obvious a motivator when looking in the mirror. Self-righteousness is more self-deceptive, especially when it is group self-righteousness.

Huh? I don't follow your logic on any of that. And no, I don't have it backwards. No one comes to Jesus unless the Father draw him. God sends his Spirit to convict you of your fallen nature, invite you in, etc. Then, if you receive it, you repent of what you are and get cleansed in baptism, then...

Yes sir, but before salvation Holy Spirit is working with you externally. After you repent and are baptized you can receive Holy Spirit internally as the missing piece in your soul.
