I'm following the teachings of both Jesus and his chosen Apostles. You are not.

Good for you. Glad it’s working for you.

 

[vantexan]

Jesus no other.

He chose his Apostles for a reason.

Everyone is chosen by God for a reason.
Even you.

Never heard of the Great Commission? Matthew 28:18-20

Yes

 

[vantexan]

Yes

Let me ask you, do you believe it's Jesus's words recorded in the Bible? I'm at a loss as to how anyone claiming Christianity sees the Apostles as just a group of men.

Jesus himself is not attributed to have personally authored any of the selected religious texts known as the Bible.

Jesus was the only God/Man. Every other man was just ordinary men. You, me, previous religious people. Ordinary.

Did Jesus have an edge that gave him the ability not to sin?

I didn't say Jesus wrote any of the books. I asked if it was Jesus's words recorded in the Bible? Are you denying the Great Commission to his disciples after rising from the dead? Are you denying they received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost? And please don't tell me we all receive that baptism. And they were imbued with gifts that we don't have. Not ordinary men. Nowhere in the New Testament are we told they were just like everyone else in the Church.

Yes. Jesus was fully man and fully God.

 

[BrownFlush]

No. You are mistaken. I have never once said that I’ve heard an audible voice from God.

Uh-oh

1.What happens to your thoughts when God talks to you?
2.In your thoughts, when God answers or reaches you, how do you know?
3.How do you tell a difference between your thoughts and the thoughts of God?
4.Does God personally/literally inject a thought in your mind?

1. My best guess is I believe when thoughts are from God , this is God speaking and not myself thinking.

2.To test God’s thoughts I believe they must pass the four absolutes. Absolute honesty, purity, unselfishness, and love.

3. Pretty much the same as 2. only a little different.

4. Yes.

God literally talks to you?

In my spirit and in my thoughts, yes.

God does not literally talk to anyone today.

You are sadly mistaken. The Holy Spirit of God tells me that if you don’t have faith and believe that He is speaking to you, you won’t even recognize it when He does Maybe that is why to don’t recognize his voice.

 

[BrownFlush]

Yes. Jesus was fully man and fully God.

The Hebrew writer tells us in chapter 4 verse 15 that Jesus was tempted in all points LIKE us, yet without sin. If he had an advantage/edge not to sin as a man, he wouldn't be tempted LIKE me.
I think it would be a flawed example if the only way Jesus did not give into temptation and sin was because he used his divine side to keep from it. Amazing from every angle. All the power of God, because he was, and using that power to limit himself as a man.

He was full of the Spirit of God, one with the Spirit and one with the Father. The perfect image of the unseen God.

Uh-oh

Thank You for proving my point. Kind of like proof texts.

In the Bible individuals have written down what they claim Jesus said, yes.

No.

No.

We all don’t receive it but it is available to all who believe. You don’t so I believe you won’t, which is pretty obvious.

God gives spiritual gifts, then and now.

Keep worshiping and idolizing religious writings, glad it works for you.

l will pray for your unbelief of the presence and activity of the Holy Spirit in the body and life my brethren.

 

[Integrity]

Do you have faith?

Confidence in things unseen!

Hereafter in the drama of your life, let God Himself be your Director.

What point? That you lied?

When did he get the full measure of the HS?
