Eph 4:11 11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;​

​

1 Cor 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. 28 And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But earnestly desire the [i]best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.​

I disagree the foundation of the church is complete, so there is no apostles now.

Explaining an experience with GOD is not the same as being prideful there buddy. I fully give the credit to The Father since the anointing come from Him like it did for Jesus.

Maybe you should back up and regroup there marine, because what you're trying to teach and preach here has no relevance with scripture.

You are the one who is back peddling and regrouping, giving glory after the fact.
My name is not Buddy, and I am not an elf.
When the Apostolic Doctrine has no relevance, neither do you to me. Later, lone ranger.

No, a brother's discarded paramour and the nephew's actual mother.

I don't know if it's true, but people are saying that she was a DACA recipient who had a kid with Leavitt's brother who subsequently came into a windfall (lottery or something), found a new woman but wanted full custody so then called ICE on his son's mother. Reported here for salaciousness. Sounds plausible, we'll see.

Not sure what Acts 14:4 you are using but.

Now it happened in Iconium that they went together to the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks believed. But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brethren. Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

But the multitude of the city was divided: part sided with the Jews, and part with the apostles. And when a violent attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to abuse and stone them, they became aware of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region. And they were preaching the gospel there.

Whoa! Get rid of more poor brown people.

This is the solution in America.

Do you remember when this was supposed to be just about getting rid of the "criminals and rapists and drug dealers"?

What will it take to see that it is more than that I wonder....

No it is not. There are no lone wolves in the world today. That is vanity. The Anointing described throughout the Apostolic Doctrine, and in the OP which you were too self-confident to receive from, is experienced in the Fellowship of the Body of Christ. This is the Anointing John speaks of in his first epistle, and Paul elaborates on in detail in First Corinthians. This is the meaning of the expression "in Christ".
Ephesians 4:
1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

Lovely!

Anyone Seen Trump's post?

I get really bothered that Godwin's Law exist because, let's be real here....come on. AS IF this couldn't be hidden underneath handkerchief with a big hakenkreuz.


Dude is truly unhinged. I have far worse labels but it is disgusting to me that a Christian could read this and think "Yeah. This guy has his head screwed on right".

By the time you got to the end, you'd have forgotten it was a THANKSGIVING POST.

He posts this and his supporter STILL have the gall to say that "all we see are his negatives".

Matthew 5:17-18
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. / For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

Because I'm not interested in arguing over exegetical questions since genuine exegesis is too involved to do properly in a forum format such as this.

Building theology off of single passages is bad form, particularly when reading the passages out of context. As for your last passage, it seems you're skirting the rules of the forum implicitly.

Certainly not in full, regardless of the traditions of men.
Malachi 4:
4 “Remember the Law of Moses, My servant,
Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel,
With the statutes and judgments.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
6 And he will turn
The hearts of the fathers to the children,
And the hearts of the children to their fathers,
Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.
