Wow, such a wonderful world and I wish her all the best in school. It is often that way. I've met different people with high degrees in their countries who had to literally start from scratch in America. You guys are certainly welcome to call on Spheres and I when coming around to our part of town. We can exchange info via email or some more…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Mar. 26 2005,23:35)Hi Cubes, …I also saw those crazy manifestations of the so-called spirit. I saw some people acting or mimicking like animals and I know that the Holy Spirit would not make a man act like an animal.There too and in some of those manifestation, one either sees paganistic influences or demonic ones I think. And…[Read more]

Thank you, Nick.  Spheres of course believes that he is worshiping the true God and desires very much (as I do) for our daughter to be brought up in “the faith,” but of course we are now finding out that we have not the same faith as we don't worship the same God!  Otherwise we agree on most biblical things.  And now, I find myself in the si…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 27 2005,20:28)Hi cubes, Monty is 12. This place is not cold. It is a warm, dry,windy area which is famous for white wine, especially Sauvignon Blanc. We grow Gewurztraminer for Huia wines.There is also a big mussel industry and some apples and cropping. Quite a lively community in the middle of the country.The district is…[Read more]

Hi t8,Nice to hear you are married.  Does your spouse come on line sometimes? Hope to get to hear from her too. We travel quite a bit ourselves within the Eastern and Midwestern areas and plan to take our dog with us—of course it can be difficult with more than one pet and especially one the size that our dog is expected to get…average of 130…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 25 2005,20:46)Hi cubes and trettep, Where do you guys live?Here in beautiful NZ we have no snakes or dangerous animals. We live on a small vineyard on the edge of the Opawa River in Marlborough and so our Black lab, called Monty, lives in dog heaven. He can almost talk and has an eating disorder, a food addiction.Two…[Read more]

Quote (trettep @ Mar. 25 2005,18:00)Be very careful where you fellowship.  We are told to mark those that are contrary to the Gospel and to avoid them.If you realize that the Trinity is false then you do well.  The Trinity is false.  The Godhead is a Family which is why the members refer to each other by family names such as Son and Father.  I sug…[Read more]

Scruffy sounds like he's got his wits about him. That is so neat. Does he have a typical Schnauzer personality or more of the Rat terrier, and is he a “ratter” outdoors?I wish Mongo would be too, but I doubt it. We do plan to do just about everything with him, including hiking, swimming and perhaps some therapy at local nursing homes. What I'd…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 25 2005,16:49)Hi cubes, Are you blessed with the gift of tongues?No, I don't yet speak in tongues, Nick, though I don't doubt that others do.

Quote (trettep @ Mar. 25 2005,14:50)That is true Cubes.  That is the kinda fear we must have.  God desires to change us to conform to His Son Jesus Christ.Cubes, what church do you belong to right now and how to you find the Truth?My reason for asking is that I'm looking for my brethren which will believe as I do and as I do them and all in J…[Read more]

Quote (trettep @ Mar. 23 2005,22:32)The reason we need to know is because we will be Kings and Priests in a Royal Family.  This goes back to the Gospel message that through Jesus Christ we can be born into the Family of God.As members of that ruling Family we will be required to Judge and therefore its one of the requirements put before us to…[Read more]

Romans 8:26 (and/or the scripture where Elijah sat in a certain posture waiting for the rain clouds). Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession *for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the…[Read more]

Hi trettepDiscernment of Good and evil. Can you expound on that a little as relates to maturing in Christ? And I think you are a part of the forum too, so we are searching and having zeal together.

A lightbulb just came on for me: John 6:44-46: No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who * has heard and learned from the Father comes to me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except…[Read more]

Salvation is definitely a gift, and yet, if one fails to accept it, one can't receive it.  The Pearl of Great Price (Matt 13:45-46):  One must sell all he has in order to acquire it.  The gospel is preached, and if one fails to listen and take it to heart, nothing is gained.  John 6:44-46:  No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draw…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 22 2005,20:56)If you then want to change the country and it's idolatry then you have to attack the evil angelic spirit over the country and bind him in the Name of Jesus. He is behind the culture and it's blindness. You can do that but it is better done with the support of a group because you will suffer attack.Hi…[Read more]

Rom 10:17 So then faith by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Hello Poisson 1:I have prayed for your father-in-law and Poland, and will continue to do that upon remembrance from time to time. You bring a very important thing to light, particularly with regards to the Pope and how that may or may not have contributed to the problem. I am also thinking about Krakow and the Jewish Persecution in that area by…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Mar. 23 2005,10:29)I would have thought that all things that we do in obedience to God are works. Works are not bad, it's just that they are not the basis of our salvation. In fact we can have a lack of works and still be saved.Our works are tested on judgement day to see if they withstand the fire of judgement. If they burn down we…[Read more]

Besides, when one is baptised by water into Christ's death and resurrection, that in and of itself is not something God disapproves of and so cannot disqualify one's entry into the kingdom. Whereas one takes a gamble with your route, trettep, if one willfully avoids baptism into Christ.I say willfully because I see the thief on the cross next to…[Read more]
