    Myles Monroe, can explain it much better than I. If you were to take just a few minutes and listen too it?

    You want Doctrine. Prayer takes on a whole new meaning (for me).

    You can't post a video you found on bing (your tablet's search engine). It won't play.

    That makes absolutely no sense. You're comparing apples and oranges. Please rephrase.

    Oops. Look up: Myles Monroe, why God didn't stop Eve.


    The link I posted earlier works fine.

    His last name is Munroe, not Monroe.

    I have never listened to a more inaccurate, confused and confusing lecture in my life!

    Your first video says in print on a black screen, "Sorry, this video is no longer available." Plus, it too is from a bing search.

    Earlier post...earlier than the one you hit.

    It wasn't meant for you...allegory Girl.
    I don't like the way he presented it but he had some good points on prayer and Kingdom concept, along with authority.

    Why do people in a position of power lie?
    Because Authority has been given to them. They have given themselves over to lies.
    There will come a time (if not now) where they will believe the lies they speak.
    They might have been given the authority, but they have no power.

    The power comes from God's Law...the Christ.

    Walter, here's the deal. If you believe something to be true, then you should be able to say, "It says so here and here and here." Pointing to an admittedly disjointed video is not a good strategy. Do you know WHY you believe WHAT you believe? You will note that it is that very question that is at the core of most of my exchanges here.

    "You believe so and so? Oh? Why do you believe that?" It strikes me as the best question you can ask. I have been asked here why I believe in a coming judgment and hell. I reply with dozens of clear testimonies from the Bible including many from Jesus Himself. That is not always received here well, but there is no plea other than silliness such as "cherry picking", or a claim to be able to know the AUTHENTIC message of Jesus with, strangely enough, no description at all of how that person came to identify that message. I feel very safe when I can surround myself with the many testimonies of scripture.

    We are a living Testimony. Surround yourself with as many testimonies as you can find...is not going to keep you from appearing before the judgment seat of Christ.

    Are the things you trust real and true – or just dim reflections of something bigger?

    LOL - this is too good to pass up. You have NEVER said WHY you believe. You have IN EVERY CASE said "Scripture says so".

    There you go again! Ah, this is FAR too good to see in his own words why he NEVER explains his belief, yet criticizes others for the very thing he does.

    Uhm..."Scripture says so" is the explanation for my beliefs. Most people catch on to that fairly quickly. It is an appeal to the authority of the Bible.

    It's obvious what people "catch on to" - that you have no explanation except "the Bible told me so". Intelligent discussion demands more than that - like WHY you believe scripture says so. Yeah, yeah, we know - God wrote the Bible.

    I find it much preferable to your own explanation of, "Athos says so".

    First you claim I never say why I believe, and then you admit that I do appeal to the teaching of the Bible. You need to make your mind up.

    I give reasons for what I post unless they are so self-evident that the reasons are obvious. I also employ rationality (logic) whenever appropriate. Internet references - you notably refuse to look there (unless, of course, you are the one posting).

    Give it up. You know EXACTLY what is meant. EXACTLY! Drop the word games - you're transparent when you do that.

    You still have failed to answer - WHY do you believe scripture says so?

    Except, of course, that you cannot explain your own gaffe. Too bad. And putting "EXACTLY" in all caps does not prove anything other than an utter lack of ideas and self-control. I oftentimes wonder why you become so angry. Maybe WG can give you some counseling on that.

    Like I said, "Because Athos says so."

    Now you are clearly welcome to that defense, but it's like I've told you many times in the past. If it comes down to accepting what Jesus said versus accepting what Athos believes, then the choice for me is obvious. You've never been raised from the dead, or even had to courage to state your own belief about the resurrection.

    Your comments have been done to death. They have been rebutted again and again and AGAIN!

    Please continue to your heart's content.

    Meanwhile, we're waiting for you to explain why you believe scripture says so. Try to stick to the point. I understand that it's a tough question to answer. But not answering doesn't improve your position.

    You mean in the same manner you have done in answering if you believe in the resurrection? Like that? Is that what you mean?

    That's true as long as "again and again" works out to none at all.
