What would be the point of someone discussing the teachings of Christ without putting them into practice?
If you're angry at Christianity and are just here to make fools of sincere, practicing Christians -- well, that kind of thing happens, but it's not necessarily laudable.
@medullah saidSame to you. Notice I never once showed any interest in yours.
Fair enough
That pretty much confirms a couple of things.
Please forgive me if you seriously thought that I was interested in your private life.
I am here to discuss spiritual things, and you made claim to what I understood to be spiritual goals/accomplishments such as attracting spiritually enlightened people. If how you interact with them is part of your private ...[text shortened]... lace, but it leaves more questions than answers, none of which I will be asking.
I wish you well.
@medullah saidThere is far more charity, brotherly love and acts demonstrating Christ's'love thy neighbour' commandment than there was 500 years ago,or even 2000 years ago. The world is becoming a better place and this is in keeping with what the Bible predicted. It may not be to your liking but I would rather live in this era of world history than in any other before.
This is exactly why I introduced the point.
Sadly, there is not enough love in the world.
I would have thought that somebody like you (judging by your posts) who were very keen on the commandments would be anti-war? I am, so its not a trick question.

@rajk999 saidWe see that is Jesus who baptizes with the Holy Spirit; the Holy Spirit isn't something we do to earn Him; it is a divine act of God.
Answer that yourself. I provided an example of how your opening statement is not necessarily correct.
Those who profess to have the Holy Spirit are not necessarily good and righteous.
Those who profess nothing are not necessarily evil.
Mark 1:8
I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
Acts 2:4
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Acts 2:38
And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Now you have suggested that both God and Satan can fill a man at the same time using this passage.
Acts 5:3
But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land?
Satan put it into Ananias' heart to lie to the Holy Spirit by misrepresenting something he was free to do or not do. He could have given the money and owed up to what part he kept back, it was his money to do with what he willed, but Ananias tried to make himself appear to be doing something other than what He did. Not grasping the Holy nature of God cost him his life.
Acts 5:32
And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
Those that don't know the Lord that have not given their lives to Christ don't get the Holy Spirit; only the redeemed, from then on, our sanctification begins with God's Spirit leading us.
@kellyjay saidWhen you cannot answer a question properly just keep quiet.
We see that is Jesus who baptizes with the Holy Spirit; the Holy Spirit isn't something we do to earn Him; it is a divine act of God.
Mark 1:8

@kellyjay saidit is you and your type that commit blasphemy. You promote the idea that these corrupt pirests and pastors have Gods Spirit etc and yet they continue with the most atrocious evil.
When you make statements that are utter blasphemy against God, you should rethink all of your doctrines.

@rajk999 saidWe clearly don’t see the world the same, but I thank you for response .
