At the same time we are to avoid those who teach contrary to God’s Word, even though their “miracles” appear to be genuine.Deut. 13:1-4: If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he http://a-study-of-christian-doctrine.blogspot.com/2011/11/how-can-we-avoid-being-deceived.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Roberto) <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/GsO6XInbkZ2HECtfUB0skyRQMhE/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/GsO6XInbkZ2HECtfUB0skyRQMhE/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/GsO6XInbkZ2HECtfUB0skyRQMhE/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/GsO6XInbkZ2HECtfUB0skyRQMhE/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875560611007547256.post-7742622933284497835Wed, 09 Nov 2011 07:00:00 +00002011-11-09T09:00:05.148+02:00The Gifts of GraceFalse and deceptive miracles can be so well masked and can occur in the guise of such outward piety, that detecting their false character can be overwhelmingly difficult.Matt. 24: 4,24: Take heed that no man deceive you...

Especially during the last times there are many of them. Through false and deceptive miracles and wonders, the devil tries to lead God’s children astray.Matt. 7:22-23: Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name? and in Thy name have cast out devils? and in Thy name done many wonderful works?

For example, when an unbeliever is converted, or when someone who had become the victim of false doctrine, comes to a knowledge of the truth, or when God’s Word in its truth and purity is preserved even among a small group of Christians.Joh. 14:12: Verily, verily I say unto you: He that believeth on me, the http://a-study-of-christian-doctrine.blogspot.com/2011/11/what-are-greatest-of-all-miracles.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Roberto) <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/JPcOC6Rn5o0Vq6fsP4rTF74oTZ8/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/JPcOC6Rn5o0Vq6fsP4rTF74oTZ8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/JPcOC6Rn5o0Vq6fsP4rTF74oTZ8/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/JPcOC6Rn5o0Vq6fsP4rTF74oTZ8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875560611007547256.post-7032641671860271989Sun, 06 Nov 2011 07:00:00 +00002011-11-06T09:00:00.537+02:00The Gifts of GraceNo, we may not. We must rather with gratitude use all the help, which God gives us through natural means.
