I've been called worse here on CC. I don't mind. It just seemed like there was so few of me on this forum, or those who at least believed similar to what I saw in scripture. It truly amazes me to see how many "intellectuals" are not able to see the simplest things in scripture, written in such...

No problem.

And that is exactly what they have done by using their experiences and that of others, in an attempt to give validity to their claims.

I hate to admit it, but I use this simple basic scriptural truth to judge a person, whether they are of God or not. The bible says the children of the devil CANNOT receive the truth of God's word, and this is not the meat of God's word, where the baby Christians can't handle it, but it is basic...

I don't see it, would you elaborate for me please?

The Parable of the Weeds Mat 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: Mat 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. Mat 13:26 But when the blade...

PREACH IT GIRL!!! Case and point. Very well said, and that is exact what we need to do, because God watches over and hastens to perform HIS WORD spoken in faith, NOT OURS, as His word IS THE POWER OF GOD.

No, you did the opposite of what I said many do. What you did was use scripture to explain reality. That is right and good, and exactly what we should be doing, NOT THE REVERSE. Many use reality to form a doctrine from their failures, and not from the bible. In fact, they reject or ignore many...

No, word of faith is word of faith, and prosperity is prosperity. Yes, you can use words of faith to obtain prosperity, but you can also use it to curse yourself, family, and others, as well. To put it another way, you HAD TO use WOF to get saved when you received Christ in your heart. Without...

Sorry, but I don't know anything about that, other than what you just wrote. Not sure how that fits in with the subject though.

Revivalist movement? What is that about?

Again, you have failed to prove the doctrine itself as being false. You are only pointing to HOW it is being used and the MOTIVE behind it. The scripture is still there, saying the same thing, untouched. You continue to dance around the heart of the doctrine, without actually confronting it head...

Precisely. I was going to bring that scripture up at some point, so, thank you. Scripture teaches, as you just pointed out, the word of God is a more sure word than our experiences.

That is, IF one does not quit. To them who do quit, the situation will most likely remains the same or it might get worse. But to them who hold fast till they have done the will of God, they are the ones who will see how God made them stronger and wiser, and will have something to rejoice over...

You are a perfect example of an ignoramus, arguing about a subject you know little to nothing about. Would you care to enlighten us, concerning, let's say Romans 10:8-10, that we may bask in your wealth of superior knowledge? You are the bad guy, and you're welcome. Well, don't take my word for...

No, I think what you brought up is, right on target. Aside from many believers saying their hoping, wishing, and wondering, was faith or that they were really believing, most just QUIT expecting, shortly after they praying. Also, most don't know what faith is or how it works. They don't know...

I think that is exactly what happens most of the time. I mean, you're left there scratching your head wondering, 'what went wrong?', when nothing happens or the situation gets worse. And at that moment, a whole slew of thoughts come at you, along with the pastor and other church goers telling...

Word of faith, WOF, name it claim it, blab it grab it. That doctrine.

I have had the same happen to me as well, but what happens when your experiences disagree with what is written? For example, there have been times when I prayed for my deliverance and healing from a cold, and nothing happened. Should I then tell others, "God doesn't want me to get well", or...

Agreed, but should we use our experiences as truths from the bible and teach such, even when the bible plainly teaches contrary to the facts? For example, many teach against WOF, in part, because of how it has been used, and yet, it is one of the very things Paul taught, even explaining how it...
