Have bound and loosed often

with GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT confirming with signs following.

You were saying about your edifice?

[Mad Dawg]

Seriously. What do you all make of the "Diversities of gifts" passage. From here it LOOKS like each of you claims all the important, high ranking, gifts for himself, the headline getting, order-giving gifts. The behind the scenes order obeying gifts receive little publicity. While, as far as I know, every EO or RC in this conversation, none being clerics, is asserting that others have nobler gifts than we and that we are sometimes called to obey people we don't necessarily like or agree with.

YOU all appear to be arguing for the right to do as you please. It's a position I'd be uncomfortable to occupy.

[Marysecretary]

Me, too. I bind spirits I recognize in other people and even in my own illnesses. And I loose truth and the power of God onto people when necessary. Jesus said greater things than HE did will His disciples (us) do.
