Don't forget... If it is Jesus that is working through the people, then "greater works" are certainly possible. Love in Jesus, Kelby

Thats the first time I've heard the idea of the two witnesses acting on their own will. It's an interesting concept that I will likely ponder. As for what constitutes greater works, I'll ask this... If you've ever asked God something and he's answered you... Have you actually ASKED God what a...

I feel my point is slightly different than what your post addresses. To me, it's not about a need to outperform anyone... It's about "What is available?" and "Am I actually trying to achieve it?". Jesus seems to be setting the bar of possibility really high. Doctrines that I hear from...

Hi Blik. At first I thought you were saying that works don't count...but then I reread what you said. Truly in Matthew 21:28-32 the ACTIONS of the sons told the true story. The words and "claimed beliefs" of sons are proven or disproven by their actions. Love in Jesus, Kelby

I really like your reply. This might sound unpleasant to some, but I think most of the "Christian" world falls under the description of the son that says but doesn't DO. Most go so far as to claim that anyone who actually DOES is relying on works. <---That statement deserves further...

Hi Sophie. In some ways THAT is the correct question. And based on our past conversations I'm going to guess you might not appreciate the wisdom of my answer as much as I appreciate the wisdom of your question. My answer (at this point, to you) is that I'm not going to rob you of getting...

Luke 18:1-8 KJV: "And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; [2] Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: [3] And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine...

I didn't quite grasp the rest of what you wrote, but the quoted question is easy enough to answer. Answer= Nope, ALL things are still possible in Christ Jesus. But people must learn HOW to get these things to function if they wish to see the results. God showed me that learning how to get...

I'll comment on your post first because so far you seem to be the only one who actually believes Jesus meant what he said. It especially pleases me that you mention the two witnesses. Smith Wigglesworth and some others have done some great things but I do want to ask... Do you know of anything...

Thanks for the reply, Deuteronomy. There is friendliness in your answer and I hope to answer likewise. I was rather "fed up" when I made that post because I've learned that God will talk, work, answer, heal, do miracles, etc. But most churches don't seem to have a clue as to how that...

John 14:12 KJV says: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." Why, seeing we have this statement from Jesus (and both the old and new testaments), and all the teachings...

What a wonderful opportunity you have to ask God and trust him to reveal a mystery to you. (honest, not smug) Meanwhile, I'll say this: I've wondered that for years, and can only share a relationship of TWO things that stood out recently. First, Paul was trying to get them to understand...

I don't use a modern definition of "cult". I use the first one I found, probably in some old dictionary. It said a cult is "any religious group that has doctrines and traditions without an entity to support them" (or something to that effect). So, whether it be some tribe in Africa or some...

No argument there. And there is still none other name through which deliverance (salvation) such as what was done to the lame man, can be accomplished. That name is the only one recorded as being used by any of the apostles when it comes to baptism as well. They UNDERSTOOD who it is they...

It DOES matter which name is used: Acts 4:10,12 KJV "Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. ... [12] Neither is there...

As you can see there are differing views which is why there is a command to "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling"... Also it is your eternal existence that you're wanting to secure, so you have a vested interest in getting it right. AKA the stakes are high. Ask God to make it...

Yep, there are some groups who serve God for the fishes and loaves. Jesus corrected them in his day and we ought to do the same in our day. John 6:26-27 KJV Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the...

Would you be willing to explain what you mean about treating God like a sugar daddy? Thanks, Kelby

I love this line. :) LOL

That's a good outlook. God himself said "Prove me" and other things saying it's OK to test him, his spirit and his word to see the truth (rather than just blindly believe something to be true but NOT test to see if your understanding is full and accurate, well-placed, etc.) 1 Thessalonians...
