While this scripture is surely true, receiving the things OF the Spirit of God is totally different than JUST receiving God. Paul was saying that the FURTHER teachings, (things of the Spirit of God), of God's apostles, teachers, preachers, will not be accepted by those who are not converted YET...

It would be a noteworthy possibility, for a Christian preacher or evangelist.

Sinners don't have clear consciences. Thankfully though, God has the grace to allow any sinner to turn from his sin and walk thereafter in the light. He had enough for me, not allowing me to die in my wantonness. And I thank Him everyday. Why do you feel that dissemination of the very idea of...

I have no idea why you would ask such a question, but here goes... Laz' made his choice during his life, by obedience to God, and loving his neighbor as himself. The same choices we make today...if we want to be raised from the dead and be eternally with the Lord.

I don't know what you are talking about here. They have already made their choice while they were alive.

They probably cared more about obediently serving God and spreading the gospel, than they did about life. How many times did Paul "get out of town" ahead of more persecution before he was finally trapped? I wish there had been scribes travelling with the other apostles.

Why not run away before you are trapped on all sides?

Send me money !

You will need to elaborate on how my words of freedom from slavery can cause despair.

(And drink Mexican beer!)

What name have I called anyone? I don't agree. If you are letting me make up your mind on a subject..."send me money". Again, I disagree. Again, I disagree. I am not about to back-track into wickedness now that I have been set free of it.

What, in your opinion, is the "basic plot" of the NT? In my opinion, it is freedom: from the Law, from the devil, and from sin.

Do Christians obey Christ? Why not all the time?

Makes me recall the names Jesus called the hypocritical Pharisees. But His "name calling" was warranted. Do you really think that calling someone a name will sway anybody over to your POV? Got any other tactics? Show me the wisdom of staying in a war zone...for any reason.

I've never claimed God also made me perfect in my spelling or reading the minds of, say, other posters. Do you really feel it is a sin to misidentify a person? You aren't a Pharisee are you? LOL Does that have something to do with the conversation? If you were aware of my scriptural reason for...

OK, thanks. Is it really loving to allow someone to enter into a dangerous situation? They made their choice, but all I can do now is hope things work out for them.

I seems more like staying in their homes was their main priority, or they would have left while it was safe.

Perhaps if you rephrase your question?

Move...quickly.

I'm glad you found one redeeming quality for the way of governing the USA.
