       The Gifts from God
       By: Colin Feener Date: April 8, 2015, 6:34 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       To Piper and all those who care about the gifts from God.  It
       has been said by Paul that every man receives at least one Gift
       from God. Most may disagree with me now but this I have been
       taught. What the Lord has given me in my Spiritual understanding
       is the gift of the Holy Spirit. That is great but also what he
       has given me, no man else can take it away and no man else will
       receive it. When God gives you a gift , it is for you and it is
       stored up in heaven and no man can take it. What he gives you,
       no man else will be given that and no man else can take it from
       you. I do not have what he has given Nancy or John or Helen or
       anyone else. Its like the blessing he Gave Jacob. Once it is
       given, no man can take it. What he has given me, no man can take
       it but I can teach it and you can receive it but you will not be
       able to teach, only repeat what I said. When Piper adds to my
       teaching , I cannot add, it is hers, her gift from God. It is
       the same with everyone. That is what Jesus meant when he said
       store up your riches in heaven where no man can steal them. A
       man can loose his teachings and then when they are lost they are
       lost forever until that man dies. When the devil steals your
       salvation he only confuses your understanding so you miss the
       spirit but he cannot take them from you, just mess up your
       understanding so you don't get it. So as we do the Spiritual
       teachings if you can add anything, please do. If any one of us
       close the door to our teachings , no man can open it and if we
       open no man can close it. If we forgive a man, no man can put
       him in bondage again, except himself and if they do the Lord
       will always send an angel to set you free from it. No man can
       change God's rules just try keep you from learning o you will
       not know.

       What Jesus gave to his disciples, when they dies they took
       them with them and the one who received from what Peter had was
       suppose to be the Pope and he is the one until he dies. Then
       things went wrong and the teachings were lost so they were
       available and they were given out and new denominations appeared
       with them. That is why each denomination has its own doctrine
       and each having a small portion of that which once belonged to
       the one only. Once they were lost, the loser of them and his
       church was spiritually dead but not even knowing it.

       [font=trebuchet ms]Colin, I agree, we each are given our own
       gifts.  Never let anyone steal your joy in the Lord.  God sees
       your heart, and hears your prayers and probably very few people
       have spent as much time as you have studying the bible and few
       love it the same way you do.  God sees every effort, all your
       work, and you are so very loved by the Lord.
       Be blessed, be happy! :)[/font]

       I also believe that even though a man may not have the gift of
       the Holy Spirit. By teaching the Holy Spirit we are baptizing a
       man into the teachings and he may not have eyes to see or dears
       to hear but by hearing from anyone who does, he can believe and
       be converted into the true Christianity and then be saved. Even
       belonging to a church, all are not eyes or ears so people who
       tread the earth are flesh eaters and they too can believe and be
       saved with the church. What I am saying is if the priest is
       saved , so is his congregation as long as they are taught their
       rights and they believe and that might be the last rights the
       priest gives at the death bed if he knows them.

       [font=trebuchet ms]If that is another way of saying 'Jesus
       Saves', then I agree. ;)
       I do believe a priest may teach what is right and good in the
       eyes of God, but whether the congregation also acknowledges the
       right and the good is between each man and God.[/font]
       [quote][center][font=andale mono] 2 Corinthians 5:10 (NIV)
       For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so
       that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done
       while in the body, whether good or bad.[/font][/center][/quote]

       I never expected the help you give me to be so good as it is.
       I am shocked at how much I like your help Piper. I don't know
       why I expected any less from you. I love you Piper my sister in
       Christ.
