I was just thinking the same thing...that Phil and Coonskiner must be shocked to see me posting on "their" side of the fence.

Merry Christmas to ya Lady and Mrs CS...hope the ice storm didn't get ya to bad down there in KS.

The end time must surely be upon us.

Merry Christmas to you too, friend, and unfortunately, the storm wiped us out...our house has been without power for almost a week, and may be for another two weeks.

Rural water is also out as of yesterday.

We are staying in town where there is electricity.

Three of us just declared we seek for it daily, four if we include you.

The gift of wisdom is in operation in our churches.

Some may choose to operate the "gift" of ignorance on occasion but that does not negate the fact that God is at work among Apostolics.

Do you actually think post 84 is a wise answer? I am not accusing any one of being specifically ignorant. Ignorant is not bad, it just attributes to the need for more education.

Defensiveness refuses to accept responsibility, therefore negating the need to change.

You answered, you seek for it daily, and I am asking you, do you feel it empower you as a gift from above. As a part of H.G. as in faith, healing, miracles, etc. Does wisdom come to you for a specific situation from God?

Wisdom would have made sure you had a generator, propane. Next time be prepared, Sorry for your dilemma though. Been there done that. We had an ice storm that destroyed everything too for about 2 weeks.

36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

46And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.



Luke 10:8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
9And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
No, social assistance is very much a part of the Gospel. This is why we as Apostolics don't have hospitals, professional schools, doctors, orphanages, because nobody cares about what Jesus cared about. Unbelievable.



MAYBE YOU NEED TO READ THE GOOD SAMARITAN, SO HERE IT IS: Luke 10

27And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

28And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

29But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

30And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

33But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

34And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

36Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

37And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

I know its not Acts 2;38 but it happens to be the words of our Lord.

We give to and help the poor.

So did the Apostles.

Did they build hospitals?

I did not say these were not good things; I said they were not as high a priority as the salvation of souls.

Sharpy, I have a question for you:

Do you believe it takes Acts 2:38 to be saved?

Please don't squirm around, just tell me yea or nay.

Oh that's Bad
you people that live where you have all these ice storms every year - I don't understand any of it.Last year it was a couple of months before they got power back to most residence. we've had a cold front hovering over the west coast all week. when this thing moves out your way look out. It's been COLD here(no ice though). Our citrus crops are in danger of being ruined again(2yrs in a row).

You first...do iyou feel it empower you as a supernatural gift. How do you personally "operate" in the gift of wisdom.

The post #84 is not how I would have responded to you. I don't agree with some of it's content. That in and of itself has nothing to do with me or CS's gifting of wisdom.

Me and the Coon may have some differences in our learning..in our knowledge that we have gained thru our many years of searching God's word.

He and I and even you if given the same scripture to discern it's meanning may come to different conclusions.....tell me Staysharp, what that has to do with the GIFT of wisdom?

Hmmmm. Must be that global WARMING thing Gore was talking about.

Hope things get better weather wise for the both of you.

I believe all scriptures together form our salvational doctrines, not just one specifically. Without getting into a doctrinal war of words, suffice it to say, I baptize in Jesus name and preach the H.G. as a separate gift from God.

I do not tell anyone who has faith in Christ and loves him, they are not saved. I am not their judge and have not been given the right to dictate any one's personal salvation. I did not die for them, and have not right scripturally to question anothers faith.

Thanks, for your input, sorry for your dilemma. Time to get up and be productive. God bless and have a great weekend.
