Thomas, what Bible translation do you use?

For serious study, I use only the King James Version.

As far as what I said about Ellen White--is there some reason I can't state this ??

Debbie

Depends on what I am trying to study. For this forum I usually use www.biblegateway.com . For personal use I have a swedish bible and use none of the english language ones. In this particular case I had a glance in my swedish one and did the rest in the webbible that I linked to in my last post.

Ofcource you can say it. I am just trying to figgure out what you are saying by it. It would have been perfectly clear if there had been or at appeared to have been a conflict between what Ellen wrote and what the bible says. But the reason to set Ellen against the bible on an issue where Ellen doesnt say anything... Maybe im just slow but I cant seem to figgure out why you would want to refer to Ellen in her silence.

Greetings everyone,

Here is what Debbie posted:

Thomas mentioned in the clapping section of several instances where the Holy Spirit was demonstrated in Churches.

Has anyone on here studied this subject out and would you be willing to share your Bible verses and SOP quotes to show the difference between having the right Spirit in our church services and the wrong spirit?

Matthew 21:13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
I have noted these two verses to help us understand how we are to stand before the Almighty, especially when coming together in the name of the Lord, and even more so when we are in His house of prayer.

The lifting up of hands seems to be the most solemn of ocassion. This requires holy hands. In order to be holy, we must have learned to die self so that Christ Jesus is dwelling in us. So that our minds are like Christ Jesus.

The best way to know what is counterfeit is to study what is good because when counterfeit comes along you will recognize it for what it is. Like a diamond cutter does not practice studying glass to know the diamond, he carefully study's the diamond in order that he will recognize it for what it is.

The wonderful lesson here is that we may die self, and that we may study what truth is. But not only this, we have the privilege of calling for the Holy Spirit to teach us all truth so that we might be blessed with His truth.

When truth abounds in the soul, there is a peace like none other living in us. When we taste and know He is God, we become faithful stewards willing to go where He goes. The desire to be noisey leaves, and a quietude comes on the soul so that we will hear the small still voice in our souls.

Christ is so right, we will know them by their fruits!
