It is written: “Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." Matthew 7:6 I will be moving on then.

Yes. There is a reason many are called but few are chosen.

Exactly, and thus so do those with God in them, as God enables. In fact Jesus said: "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. ... I will ask the Father, and He will give you...

You clearly do not understand how spiritual gifts work since you just tried to contrast a gift that uses Holy Spirit with being in contact with God. You don't strike me as someone who is genuinely open to learning though, therefore it is up to you to study and seek God for yourself if and when...

It isn't my job to prove anything to you. Rather I'm offering what I think and know to you for you to vet for yourself with God. But no, there were no mirrors or anything like that involved. Don't you know that we are speaking of fallen angels, and God uses holy angels to protect us because...

There was Jesus in the beginning of Matthew 9, and Elisha in second Kings 4:27 off the top of my head. It's 1:30 in the morning, though, and if you really want to know you will search for yourself, anyway, so that's all I'm gonna give.

I didn't say it wasn't false; I said it was a means beyond what we can do physically. For example, I have heard of spiritually compromised church services where things were made to glitter like gold. It was not real gold, obviously, but it was still supernatural that it was made to look that way.

Don't be ridiculous. I spoke of actually truly reading somebody's soul, not lying to them. This was often done by prophets in the Bible. And I never called it 'cold reading,' that was your term apparently chosen to discredit the work of the Holy Spirit.

I wasn't speaking temporally. I was equating the appearance of two behaviors independent of order. What Moses did looked the same as the magicians because the magicians copied him. And I disagree on how the magicians did it. Yes there are many modern day magicians who use slight of hand - I...

People can use their talents with God or against Him.

It is strange to me that so many people like the smell of coffee because when I have a headache, I particularly can't bear it. Therefore I'm not to fond of it even when I'm well. Of course I am also repulsed by food coloring for basically the same reason. Until God healed me I got migraines...

Just an FYI, overcooked Brussels' sprouts become bitter and definitely belong on this list. That was my first experience of them when someone brought them to Thanksgiving as a kid. But properly prepared they can actually be quite good. The ones at a nearby restaurant are one of the few...

Definitively coconut water. At least whatever that brand was that we bought at Costco because it was cheaper. Lemons I can eat, but I can't help having an extremely distorted face when sipping the stuff. I once heard a Hispanic woman say that when she moved to Canada, the first time she ate a...

I am slightly amused by your reply (there wasn't a perfect emoji for that, though, so I did my best). I am disappointed that you would dismiss prophetic words that have been in several cases life-altering truths for me and others, but I appreciate both that you think for yourself and that you...

Actually I once asked God the difference between what His people do and witchcraft - I mean some of those things Elijah did sure look like it and Moses looked to do the same as Pharaoh's magicians except that Moses' snake staff ate the others, and He gave me a lesson by letting me accidentally...

Qualifies as an empath. A real empath is someone who can literally feel your emotions - you know possessing actual empathy, not just someone who can read your body and make an educated guess about what you are feeling. The latter is the way a spiritually blind and ignorant world tries to...

Oh? You take issue with God? How do you figure? I can't help but wonder if number 2 might apply here.

Short passages God has shared with my fellowship: Perfection is the goal; failure is the means. Simpletons think God is simple. Shoulds are sh*t. Fighting deception is deception. Truth without action is pointless. Action without truth is evil. God doesn't condemn you for falling. He...

Body movements? I know empath is the world's word for it but if it isn't the spirit being read I don't think the person qualifies.

You seem to be presuming things that were never said or intended. I never said anything about amazing grace or reward. Rather I only spoke of the gifts of the Spirit. Salvation, which is what I think you mean by 'amazing grace,' is a separate though not entirely unrelated issue. God frequently...
