    Visions, dreams, and prophecies a danger or a blessing?

    I visited a Pentecostal meeting for every Sunday over a year and six months. During that time I was prophesied over many times. Told I would be a minister and do great things for God. Told I was a little fly in a teacup looking out at the wide world. Told I was gifted with prophecy. Told I would...

    Christians Persecuting Christians

    It seems that presenting the facts ought to be the best way to teach. But if the facts do not support your doctrine then a bit of brow beating may help. If that will not suffice then one can try threats. That may fail so after that one is left only with attacks against persons and the church. I...

    Visions, dreams, and prophecies a danger or a blessing?

    It's very sly of them to say "I think the Lord is saying such and such" but it is hardly a recommendation to hear that from one who says he/she has a prophetic gift. "I think" is a sure sign that you;re about to hear an opinion rather than a word revealed by God. When God speaks the speaker of...

    Visions, dreams, and prophecies a danger or a blessing?

    The prophets in the old covenant received the Spirit who led them to prophesy and they spoke truth accurately in every word from God that they uttered. How can a Christian born of the Spirit speak untruth yet label it as the prophetic word of God to the people? Surely the New Covenant is much...

    Visions, dreams, and prophecies a danger or a blessing?

    In the holy scriptures a prophet's credibility was not measured by a few prophecies being true but rather by any being false. It was sufficient for one false prophecy to label a prophet as a false prophet.

    What is sin?

    If your comment applies to yourself alone then it has credibility as a personal testimony. If you think it applies to everybody then it has less credibility as a general statement of doctrine and truth. Clearly there are those in the holy scriptures who are commended by God for their...

    Visions, dreams, and prophecies a danger or a blessing?

    The vocabulary that uses "gifting" instead of "gift" and "gifts" is peculiar to me but it appears to be current in Charismatic and Pentecostal circles so I guess it must have some special meaning that differs from gift and gifts. There are people claiming revelatory gifts such as prophecy...

    Mortal Sins...

    Of course it does not change the content of the commandment when it is numbered differently. The numbering is entirely human in origin. It's a tradition of men and nothing more.

    Praying to the deceased - correlation with those who believe in ghosts?

    That is a relief. I can anticipate no more statements from you impugning me then?

    Mortal Sins...

    Catholics number it as three. CCT 2153 THE THIRD COMMANDMENT: "Remember that thou keep holy the sabbath day. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy works; but on the seventh day is the sabbath of the lord thy god; thou shalt do no work on it, neither thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor...

    Hear the scriptures - go to mass.

    God called saint Paul to be an apostle. Are you called to that role?

    Coming from your post I count that a sure sign that the path is the right one.

    Praying to the deceased - correlation with those who believe in ghosts?

    You express an unhealthy interest in my affairs. I am not inclined to cooperate with your unhealthy curiosity.

    Hear the scriptures - go to mass.

    Saints John and Paul were apostles who wrote inspired holy scripture. Jesus is God. You are neither an apostle nor God. Their example may have very little to do with you as far as formulating doctrine goes.

    Visions, dreams, and prophecies a danger or a blessing?

    Saint Paul was not shy about calling himself an apostle. Others were identified as prophets (Agabus, for example). Today the ones who call themselves apostles are schismatics who push doctrines that all others reject. The same appears to be true of the ones who self-identify as prophets.

    Visions, dreams, and prophecies a danger or a blessing?

    That is right. God has not put prophets in any denomination nor in any Church of today.

    No, your statement/question has no basis in anything I've written.

    Hear the scriptures - go to mass.

    I do not think that. I think that prayerful personal reading is a great grace given by God and listening to the Church which has read the prayed the holy scriptures for ages is another great grace given by God. Being alone is not what Christians are called to. Christians are called to communion...

    Oh Hell!!!

    It is not serious study that we see in this thread. It's propaganda and very selective citations.
