1 | What is "slain in the spirit"? | 1 Thess 5:21 | humbledbyhisgrace | 158340 | ||
Your correct, I do not believe "slain in the spirit" is from God. I do believe the verse you reference is from God. But your conclusion as to it's meaning is not from God. Sorry but there is no evidence in scripture to backup the claim. Interesting that you came to the conclusion on your own what the verse means if you were not taught this from man. Can you give any reasoning for this based on scripture? My guess is no. My guess is also that you have been taught this from man. I base this on your whole argument. It's classical teaching from the type of church you evidently participate in. Your next statement is more proof of that. You say "The reason that these types of manifestations only occur in some churches is that only some churches have enough faith over unbelief in this area. See Matthew 13:58". Proof of my statement is in your patent response. Here is the problem with your statement taught to you by man. It attributes God's abilities to the belief and disbelief of man. God is not limited by our belief or disbelief. We have no affect on His power or abilities in any way. He is God, with us or without us. As a matter of fact, God himself gives each of us the ability to believe. He Himself gives us our faith. Romans 12:3 "For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith". As you can see, you have been taught wrong. You have been taught to pull scripture out of context to create a man made belief and practice. Satan used scripture also when tempting Jesus. But it was used out of context and used improperly and was unacceptable to Christ as it should be to mankind when used improperly. The same principle applies to Gods word in regards to needing mans help as it does to God needing mans help (or belief) to perform His miracles. He does not need nor require our help in any way to be God! You have not explained anything. You have only stated something as fact with no evidence to back it up. Why should someone accept it? Pointing to scripture and making a claim about it that completely contradicts it's teaching does not make it so. To be of God it must be what God's word said not something created from mankind's imagination. So yes, I completely reject your teaching because it is not scriptural. It's not of God and therefore unacceptable as His teaching. You do not honor your Father by playing games with His word. As I've said before, remember who's word it is your talking about. Do not take it upon yourself to use as you see fit. This does not bring Him honor. Remember this, "For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil". Ecclesiastes 12:14 I have no intentions of dishonoring you. You dishonor yourself and the Father. I only disagree with your interpretation of the scripture. Holy Laughter is as real as slain in the spirit. It's real to those that chose to practice things other then what God has directed through His word. Again, you dishonor the Father by your own words. |

2 | What is "slain in the spirit"? | 1 Thess 5:21 | Mark7 | 158347 | ||
I did not receive this from man. I did not refer to God's abilities, only His actions. I did not claim that God needs our help. Where has God in His Word directed not to practice "holy laughter"? |

"I did not receive this from man." - Yes you did. Proof is in your patent answers and explanations of scripture. Your answers are not scripture, their scripted. I did not refer to God's abilities, only His actions." - Sure you did, read your own statement. Again, proof that your words are taught and they are scripted. You know not what you say, but only repeat what you are taught. "I did not claim that God needs our help." - Sure you did, read your own statement. Again, proof that your words are taught and they are scripted. You know not what you say, but only repeat what you are taught. "Where has God in His Word directed not to practice "holy laughter"? - See answer below! Galatians 1:6-9 6 I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; 7 which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! 9 As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed! Your holy laughter comes from Rodney Morgan Howard-Browne, a charismatic preacher from South Africa, born June 12, 1961 in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, not from scripture. |
