So wait….
Irresponsible biblical interpretations are now considered “modern prophecy”?

I love seeing sacred cows get tipped.
They’re diseased, moldy, and infected. Take it to the slaughterhouse, chop up the meat, get all the good stuff, and chow down! That is….if anything is salvageable.
The Mind Cannot Create Things It Has No Prior...
Like…
Heavenly colors,
The immensity of God,
The eternality of God,
The infiniteness of God,
Intricate details of the lives of strangers including pains, pasts, desires, longings and such,
and fluent speech in foreign languages.
Oh, and bones don’t just naturally reform instantaneously, muscles aren’t naturally recreated, and “genetic” and chronic diseases...

The Wrong Side of God?
You can’t be on the “wrong side” of God. You simply can’t. He doesn’t have one! He is perfectly, infinitely good. Oh, but “God’s ways aren’t our’s!”
Indeed they are not!
Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. (Isaiah 55:1,...
The Message of Grace
Honestly, I was not prepared for it. I was opposed to it mentally, but not spiritually. When I finally opened my mind and became willing to receive something contrary to the status quo, things changed all for the better.
Some may ask, “Do you really believe all these great teachers and theologians have been wrong for hundreds, even thousands, or years?! How selfish.”
My response to...

Sometimes we’re so focused on the opposition that we forget who our ally is.
To Him, all opposition is the same. Whether great or small in our eyes, He draws no distinction. His victory for our lives is released in measures equivalent to our faith.

Let's Get One Thing Straight
God never gave up on His original plan or declared it a failure. Maybe reconciliation is the fulfillment of that plan. “It is finished”. All creation is reconciled to God, by God. It has been made clear and evident—our communion with God never depended on anything but faith, which propels us into the Love relationship with Love Himself.
Maybe we just need to stop living in a...

morganspins asked: you are such an inspiration and definitely a refreshing piece of blog on my dash. Thank you so much and never stop what you're doing!
elleeeetea asked: I just wanted to say that I think your blog is amazing. You are very insightful and you definately always make me think. I've been struggling with my faith a little recently, and discovering your blog has been an absolute blessing. I was just wondering, what's your favourite verse?
Pointing out sin is easy.
Forgiving it takes guts and an unconquerable affection.
Saving the faithful and righteous is easy.
Redeeming the broken and lost takes relentlessness and daring.
Condemning evil people is easy.
Forgiving them and guiding them to the righteousness that was theirs all along takes unimaginable faith and immeasurable grace.
Hating Satan is easy.

If you want unbelievers to love you, preach the Gospel. If you want Christians to label you a heretic, preach the Gospel.
Oh, the irony.
Love Is My Commandment: Few Are History Makers →
loveismycommandment:
Many crucify their flesh daily. Few know they died with Him. Many strive for holiness. Few live sanctified. Many beg God to ‘show up’ or ‘come.’ Few know He never left. Many cry out for God to send revival. Few live revived. Many tell God they are hungry. Few eat the Bread of Life.
Anonymous asked: What are your views on homosexuality and do you believe homosexuals can also be Christians? A few of my friends are gay and it's something I'm aware is a touchy subject within religion. I want to support them in any way I can, but what else can I do other than pray? I'm sorry if you've answered this before. I am relatively new to following your blog.
Speck vs. Log
Why do we ask “what’s wrong with you?” its such an easy and obvious answer. Our brothers and sisters are blinded by sin and lies that tell them they can’t be redeemed. The real question should be, “what is withholding Truth from being manifested?” but before we can ask this for others, we must ask it for ourselves.
What is holding us back from seeing and...
loveismycommandment asked: Hey, anon talking about the friend with the STD. If you come off anon and send either me or Tom a message (we'll answer it privately), we would actually love to talk to you more and pray for your friend either over facebook chat or by phone.
Anonymous asked: I have a friend who just got diagnosed with an uncurable STD. She has since turned given her life to God but still feels as if she ruined her chance to get a Christian man that will love her. We have been trying to find stuff on the internet about how God feels about STDs but we can't find anything. I tell her all the time that God has forgiven you and He will bless you with a understanding...

Satan got mad that I forgave him at MY trial.

God bless you too. Good points. Take it easy, bro!
Thank you for your loving correction! :) God bless you :)
thebeeble replied to your post: God Loves Satan: Addendum
Lucifer is the Latin word for “morning star”, not a specific name. The Isaiah passage is referring to the Babylonian King who would be humbled, though the passage is tongue-in-cheek. The real morning star is Jesus, who would never be cast down.
Very true, but as far as my understanding goes, Hebrew names were often actual words in the...
Food for thought.
This is not dogmatic.
But does anyone else find it intriguing that Jesus and the apostles never spoke about funerals?
As if they didn’t expect people to die… O.o
God Loves Satan: Addendum
Before you read this, please read the original post of which this is an extension: http://pressingheaven.tumblr.com/post/18148934323/god-loves-satan
I think it is also important to recognize two things: Jesus’s mercy on demons (Mark 5:9, Luke 8:30) and that God may call Satan Satan, but He sees him as Lucifer—his original created nature.
The latter is largely dealt with in the...
comeupfromthewilderness replied to your post: God loves Satan.
Hey, Tom. I agree with this mostly, other than this part ” God created Satan. He does not regret or dread His creations….” because before He sends the flood, God actually says that He was sorry He made creation
Thats why i question the interpretation of God’s voice vs Satan’s. I have never known God, in my own walk or in...
God loves Satan.
Let me start with a disclaimer: Satan has made himself an enemy of God. God does not condone the works of Satan; He hates the works of Satan. God is not “in cahoots” with Satan.
Despite all these things, God loves Satan, even though he is against His Creator (which reminds me of many humans, quite frankly). God created Satan. He does not regret or dread His creations (which is...
My Thoughts On Lent...

I am going to be transparent with y’all for a sec.
Please don’t crucify me…
This is the first year that I’m not participating in Lent.
The journey that I been having has been leading me to question and leave behind a lot of stuff that I used to be into.
I believe Jesus fasted so I could feast on Him.

Anonymous asked: What are your views or opinions on sex before marriage?
Marriage and dating?
Marriage and dating are not supposed to be legalistic. Sure, there are guidelines, but the matter of the fact is that both should manifest out of mutual love. Not for evangelism, not for personal gain. Out of pure-hearted, unadulterated love.
