[Linux4christians] Ex-Muslim's college speech disrupted by arson.

[Pastor David]

Your Bible reading, and thus the context in linear time, is 
incorrect.

Prior to the coming of the Holy Spirit things were different 
than they are now.

Contrast the teaching of 1 Cor 2:10 with the texts you shared.

BTW:  There is no Biblical popish hierarchy in the spiritual 
relationship between a believer and God - every believer has 
direct access to God and nothing relevant to salvation and 
righteous living is withheld.

Someone has discipled you very very poorly - I pray that you 
will be enlightened by this dicussion and a fresh reading of 
the Word - such was a challenge in the first century and 
continues until this day.

> Because they are not connected with the goal, are not fundamental to the 
> holy life. They do not lead to disenchantment, dispassion, cessation, 
> calming, direct knowledge, self-awakening, Unbinding. That's why they
