There remains NO benefit from not circumcising.

There are better and more important need to know than half truths and trip questions. There remains NO benefit from not tithing.

A Jehovah's Witness will not hesitate showering you with Awake,Watchtower and even a copy of the New World Translation. That's spiritual food served at the right time from the 'faithful servant' Watchtower Society. They would never touch Rhapsodies with a ten foot pole....that's apostate literature. Ask paulgrundy. Sit under him and learn a thing or two about indoctrination

Reversed roles here
Gombs:
Bro, tithe in it self means a tenth. Malachi was directed to 22% ers? Really? grin



Dear Lord Jesus! undecided



A pastor, your shepherd.


No time for frivolities bro.



Your opinion is noted.



No thanks! smiley



Trustman, you have sought my attention and it's becoming worrisome. Ok, let's demonstrate humility here, was circumcision as you said for ISRAEL AND ISRAEL only? Was that notion correct? If yes, how? If no, were you humble enough to admit?

If answering is reading your mind, am sorry am not psychic. I have answers your questions. Let me repeat them lest one of the things I accused you of recurr(ed)

Question: If Melchisedek received tithe 'without commandment', what hinders others?
Answer: They are not Deity nor are they High Priests so they are not entitled to 'without commandment' privilleges Melchizedek enjoyed

You still managed not to answer the questions, how did that happen? Even Mark the original recipient has been very shy.
If Melchisedek received tithe 'without commandment', what hinders others?
Are we under commandment (the law).?

Actually,is there ANY Chrisitan experience/doctrine that is totally unique to Christianity? They are very few if at all.
What do I do if I run into pagans praying? Should I desist from prayer?
The point is this line of argument of comparing Charismatic/Pentecostal acts to non-Christian acts and dismissing the Pentecostal as demonic, is weak.

Long before Solomon Temple was constructed, pagans had temples. Did Solomon borrow from pagans?

The preacher says



It's like saying that because an armed robber looked a certain way, anyone who has such looks is an armed robber

Christianity Etc › Re: John Macarthur's 2013 Strange Fire Conference by vooks: 2:00pm On Nov 27, 2014
I’ll start believing that the truth prevails in the charismatic movement when I see the leaders who are the people most exposed to its principles looking more like Jesus Christ. I can see that they really are partakers of the divine nature.


Mbewe reckons that Truth can be discerned from the character of leaders in the Charismatic movement.
What about the non-Charismatic wing? Do they ALL look like Jesus?
You are not going to get partkers of divine nature on either of the divide. What do I do when I turn non-Charismatics and not find leaders who are not divine partakers either?

WinsomeX:
I agree with shdemidemi that if anyone disagrees with any conclusion by any of the presenters of the conference, they should simply provide scriptural counters to them. When people have provided specific statements on issues in theology it always right to provide specific statements if we want to counter their position.
Christianity Etc › Re: John Macarthur's 2013 Strange Fire Conference by vooks: 12:23pm On Nov 27, 2014
You are a grown up I presume? In that case there is no need reminding you that this is a public forum. I will respond to ANY post I like. And Me being particularly allergic to garbage, you are advised to keep that to yourself because I won't hesitate debunking it with the contempt it deserves

Thanks
shdemidemi:
If you read thoroughly enough, you will not only realise the reason for the conference, you will also realise how these men have meticulously put all your extral spiritual activities and beliefs to the tip.


Don't be surprised if I ignore you from hereforth, you have nothing to add to me but to waste my time on 'old wives' like bickering.
Christianity Etc › Re: John Macarthur's 2013 Strange Fire Conference by vooks: 11:51am On Nov 27, 2014
You haven't stated from scriptures why you agree or BELIEVE and here you are demanding for scriptures. You are smart bloviating generalities here and you can't possibly explain what you are saying
shdemidemi:
All you want to do is argue(blindly). I urge you to put that energy to studying the OP and come up with rebuttals if need be. I agree with the Op, do you? If no, state reasons why through scriptures. I [b]believe [/b]that is a better route to arrive at biblical truth.
Christianity Etc › Re: The Midas Touch- A Balanced Approach To Biblical Prosperity - Kenneth Hagin by vooks: 11:47am On Nov 27, 2014
Gombs:
Care to explain why tithinhy is unscriptural and dishonest?
Start with why you do 10% while the Jew did 22%. Wait, yours is Abrahamic? Why then do you resort to Malachi which is directed at 22%-ers?

So, tithing is now a doctrine?
What is it? A high school subject?
Do you have a pastor? As in, do you have a spiritual father? By spiritual father, I don't mean God.
Who/what is a spiritual father?
Outta discuss. This scripture is not relevant here.
Focus on the examine and the faith bit. I did and dug up lies I had suppressed for years
Why haven't you studied the ones youve been given, not in defense mode, but to seek the truth out of them?
I probably tithed first when you were still in your diapers. Been there,done that. You on the other hand know only CE truth
I can also give you web links too...alot of them too
Please take time and go through them in your own time. Of course it is embarassing to admit to your fellow CE guys here that you have a crisis of conscience. It definetly helps to parade your solidarity with Oyaks to your pals. I understand that perfectly cheesy
Christianity Etc › Re: John Macarthur's 2013 Strange Fire Conference by vooks: 11:36am On Nov 27, 2014
You can't possibly substantiate the highlighted even if your life depended on it.

When you put several cessasionists in a room and charge them to brainstorm on a problem, they will most likely arrive at a solution closely mirroring their beliefs. So expecting nothing but bashing spiritual gifts and manifestations and ascribing EVERYTHING that is wrong in church to them

shdemidemi:
GREAT THREAD....

I am in complete agreement with the cessationist view point as it presents the scripture from a more objective perspective.

Winsomex,
Are you a Cessationist or Continuist?
WinsomeX:
Thank you Bidam for this question and it has been well answered by vooks, although the answer will be further taught by the 18 presentations in the conference.

Let me state clearly from the start that the presenters at this conference call themselves CESSATIONIST. Cessationism is a veiw of scriptures that considers the offices of an apostles and a prophet, along with the gifts that the operated to have ceased after the canon of scriptures was completed. This views comes a doctrine that teaches The Sufficiency of Scriptures. They argue that to have apostles and prophets, whose messages can be validated with signs and wonders is to consider the bible insufficient. That is, we are saying the bible is not complete and God is saying things, new things, outside the things he had already said in the bible. They believe that such is the root of all errors in the body of Christ today, and the best way to guard against this is to hold a cessationist biblical view. Gifts of the Spirit cessationist believe no longer exist today are tongues, prophecy, hearing words from God, signs and wonders. Cessationists however believe that God can work a miracle today for his purpose and in his sovereignity but they insist miracles are not being wrought at the large scale that the apostles did. The whole conference was their views on these.

The cessationist criticised all charismatic groups including Catholics, Pentecostals, white garment and a group they call CONTINUTIONISTS. These group of evangelicals believe basically the same doctrine with cessationist, they are however careful not to insist certain gift have ceased. They believe Charismatics should be given some hearing. So the cessationist came dosn heavy on some continuitionists like John Piper and Grudem.

I am presenting these views here for our perusal, learning and discussions.

I am not sure the merit of creating a thread over your preparedness. Be armed and fight. The enemies who rise to eat your flesh let them stumble and fall in Jesus name

You are preaching ignorance and guessing game. You are preaching self-righteousness, that ONLY you know the truth and others are decieved

Are you a university student? Your thoughts are far from coherent.
You don't know God's name and you are bashing others who don't
You can't construct a single sentence in Hebrews yet you claim it is the sacred language
You have no proof that the name of Jesus is ineffective.
You have sown doubts in New Testament by saying that Lucifer inspired it

You are hopelessly confused

He should have taught us His name then instead of leaving it to incoherent people like you to unravel YHWV
He left it thus because it is not important

What have you done for Christ apart from spewing garbage about spiritual names you know nothing about?

From wikipedia
Baal=, also rendered Baʿal (Biblical Hebrew
בַּעַל, pronounced [ˈbaʕal]), is a North-West
Semitic title and honorific meaning
"master" or "lord"[1] that is used for various
gods who were patrons of cities in the
Levant and Asia Minor, cognate to Akkadian
Bēlu. A Baalist or Baalite means a
worshipper of Baal.
Baal =The lord

The most accurate way is to retain the tetragrammaton YHVW instead of guessing. What if the guesses are wrong? WHat makes the guesses better?

Supposing a man's name is tetragrammaton MBMK.
Try inserting vowels
MBaMaKa
MBaMeKa
MBaMeKe

There are tens of names you can get from that. None is better than the other. Why are you guessing th proper name and then imaginng that yours is accurate?

Unibenstudent:
all this guess work are 100 % better than calling him THE LORD ,ThE LORD means baal

Don't regurgitate religious garbage young man.
You ar true to your sect, regurgitating EVERYTHING they tell you without thinking
Start thinking for once

If Satan tampered with the canonization of the New Testament, it means NT is unreliable. How do we even know that Jesus was crucified? What if it is all a hoax?
Unibenstudent:
Roman catholics and Constantine who inspired the compilation of bible all had a satanic agenda,,which I will discuss as time goes by,(hope u know dark ages sha) anyway satan is not a sleeping dog ,but a lion so he doesn't sleep!!so he inspired to corruption of the name yeshua to Jesus,,that's y today there is no respect for the name jesus,,when someone is cursing he will like " Jesus !!David are u mad ,or if he wants to sneeze ,he will say Jesus !,there is little or no regard for the name Jesus,even Satanists can call d name Jesus!! So my brother wake up from slumber because tthe next time to u profess Jesus ,u profess the anti Christ!!

Gombs:
vooks,folks who tithe were taught how to and why, this is a far cry fry what anti tither do. they want tithing to stop being taught.
My broda,
when the HOW and WHY are interrogated, they are found to be unscriptural and quite dishonest.

My own Empress is a faithful tither. I do not tithe, haven't done it all of this year. before that, I been tithing for the longest ever since I learnt about the doctrine. All I did was to reexamine the doctrine. I can tell you that all along I had some reservations about the way Malachi was overused. Slight reservations. I had always believed that tithing was practiced since Pentecost. Then I discovered that it started 500 years after. Not unlike Christmas. The next question was WHY. Why would such a doctrine with such immense consequences be missing from the church for hundreds of years?

I began to see systematic misuses of tithing verses. Then I made up my mind. No more tithing. One buddy of mine flew to Norway and he called me. Said he had seen me in a dream and I was giving him my tithes. THe dude is a great guy, a prophet, a man who stood with me in prayers and fasting. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. He is a missionary there but here was he aksing me to tithe to him and not my church. I waited for God to give me the same dream but of course he never did


2 Corinthians 13:5 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?


Long story but the point is, please over and above the terrible insults and pride that fly across both sides of the divide, examine your doctrine. It helps to look outside your spiritual authority. If you are CE and CE teach tithing, then all literature will be biased towards that. Independent sources help alot. I can share afew. Don't study them in defense mode, seek the truth out of them.

I don't want you to stop tithing, I want you to understand tithing and then like me you make up your mind whether that is for you or not

There was no J in Hebrew. You are right on that

But NOBODY knows the name. It is all guesswork, Jehovah,Yahweh,Yahowa,Yahuv......it is all guesswork.

Unibenstudent:
according to jospephus the famous Jewish historian who reigned in days of yeshua he says that the high priests wore the sacrad tetragrammation on their head and it was YHWH do u need wisdon to pronounce this? And its not Jehovah becuz letter j is a new letter in English!!
Christianity Etc › Re: Unibenstudent, On The Name Of Jesus by vooks(op): 9:28am On Nov 27, 2014
Criticism,beatings and killings does not mean you are right. Tibetan monks have been persecuted for years and they are Budhists.

If God wanted to reveal his name, He would have inspired the New Testament authors to tell us the vowels inside the Tetragrammaton YHWV. But He didn't

Emmanuel is a title so to speak. You never find anywhere Jesus called Emmanuel by anybody. They all called him Jesus

Unibenstudent:
when yeshua was on earth he was criticised and beating and killed,why will I be surprised at ur comments,so why is that u have so much evidence to prove that yeshua is d only name of Jesus but maybe immanuel is a better substitute as name not Jesus ,,pls !

Christianity Etc › Re: John Macarthur's 2013 Strange Fire Conference by vooks: 9:05am On Nov 27, 2014
My brother,
I agree with most of what you said. There is a thread I started about an interesting book, Skeptics Guide to Tongues and Prophecy
https://www.nairaland.com/2002518/skeptics-guide-tongues-prophecy

Spiritual gifts and manifestations are BOTH objective and subjective. That point really impressed me. The author says this is why we are called to judge a prophecy,tongue.....

I believe the best yardstick is the Word of God in testing these things
Bidam:
Ok, The truth is when the Holy Ghost presence is evidence in a meeting anything can happen, there is a big diff between magic and a miracle. I read a book on Kathryn kulman who confessed she can't do anything without the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit that helps us to preach the gospel. The problem arise when you try to manufacture the anointing with the mindset that the way He came yesterday should be the same way He is going to operate today and that way what Hagin tried correcting in his days. He said whenever the gifts of the Spirit is not in manifestation, he just teach the people the word of God. Ministers fall into error whenever they try to manufacture gifts and that's how familiar spirits come in.
