It's this thing where they think quoting the bible is God speaking, that is the issue and puts the fundamentalists in a bad light, for its never been the God speaking through the bible and never will be.
In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son. Hebrews 1:1 Notice it does not say through the scriptures or by them.
To the bible fundamentalist, the bible is God's mouth piece and when you're convinced of that. Unfortunately there is no helping you until the veil over your mind is lifted, we might as well be speaking to the wall. The bible is not spirit. If it was Jesus would have said so, he didn't, he said my words are spirit and life. The bible fundamentalist believes Jesus said only my words are spirit and life(and now he's no longer here, it's his words in the gospels that are spirit and life). When we speak in the spirit we too are speaking spirit and life. The good man bringeth forth good things stored up in his King James, I mean heart.Yes scripture can become spirit and life in our lives when scripture is understood correctly and spoken in the spirit of Christ, which is never condemnation of those assumed to be sinners, but always in the spirit of love. Speak the truth in love.
Good stuff, pcamps.

And what characteristic of God did Jesus show when he responded to the woman who corrected him when she said, "Yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the table" with, "Woman, you have great faith" ?
Jimmie, what are the characteristics of God according to the scriptures ?. Why are you and all other bible fundamentalists unwilling to answer this ? Because you know what the scriptures says does not support your beliefs. This is what Jesus meant when he said men love darkness over light.
The characteristics of God include love, holiness, and sovereignty.

Another fundy who cannot describe the characteristics of the Holy Spirit. Anyone with half an ounce of common sense knows why you can't. You love your beliefs over the light of the scriptures. Well did Jesus say when he said men love darkness(their biases and prejudices).

You do realize how self defeating it is for anybody that attempts to discredit the Bible only to then be taken serious when quoting it as some gotcha point for their own self justification unbelief?
What it shows Pleroo is what you reject ... there is more than just one characteristic nature of God besides agape love.

Darkness is a spirit/root that bears fruit, the kind of fruit you're bearing. The fruit of our womb/soul is our reward, and it SHOULD look exactly like the fruit the apostles had, which they received from the risen Christ, because you should be birthing Christ. That you are not is evident, because you can only parrot one part of His Word, and despise the rest. HE IS the Word made flesh; ALL OF IT, which means He didn't despise His Father's words.
And just because you can describe an elephant, it doesn't make you one. That, like this, requires a BIRTH. Peace

And righteousness. One could compile a long list to describe the attributes of God.
When talking about people, there are acts of the flesh and fruits of the Spirit.
Acts of the flesh (we see plenty of hate and discord here):
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Of course we also see a lot of people insisting sexual immorality is a complete non-issue. The argument is that if there is no victim, then there is no sin. However if you look at the list above, most of it is about victimless sins. The victim is the sinner, as they will not inherit the kingdom of God
Fruits of the Spirit: (we see a lot of talk ABOUT these, but not so much practice of it)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Lol. You cannot describe the characteristics of the Holy Spirit that are clear in the bible never mind the witness in you and here you are coming out with this baloney.

That is what's awful to watch and listen too with such individuals who deny the scripture but then turn right around using it to throw it at you when they need it for their gotcha points, but in reality its all been done for an evil purpose !
Wow, a lot of ppl going to be weeping and feeling ashamed when they see how/when they've misused the word of God for their agenda with an evil motive and what the repercussion of behaving in such ways is going to cost them on the other side of this life !
There sure is a lot of that done here in this forum !
But of course when you don't believe in the scripture and think its nothing but contradictions there is this carelessness and believing a bunch of crazy barbaric men wrote their interpretations down what they think God said to them .
It is showing nothing but total disrespect for God and His word . BUT one day the truth will be revealed and I know they won't like what their going to hear !
Amen Cyber, everything that's done in the darkness will eventually be exposed in the Light. To me that's a comfort, all this lying and dishonouring God will be revealed for what it truly is.
