Wow. This man shouldn’t be anywhere near the leadership of a supposed Christian organization. Trivalizing the magnitude of the impact of sin is a grave offense for a “teacher”. Living in deliberate sin ceratinly has deathly implications....eternal death that is.

It kills souls.

"beloved creation, you are living in the End of Times (End of one epoch, not the end of the world),
I had warned you that in these times there are going to be people who sneer at religion, suppressing the Spirit of prophecy, ridiculing the visionaries, so that they can follow their own deceitful doctrines for wickedness;
their skills turned into perverted inventions leading them astray;
lovers of evil, they cannot retain any purity of mind;
like Folly they are drawn into devious ceremonies and black masses, worshipping Satan;
either that or they lead lives of great wickedness, for their ignorance is such that just by that alone they condemn their own lives;
since they have closed their ears and refuse to see the Truth, acknowledging Me their God, their sin has drawn them into depravity, and rottenness of their very soul;"

their skills turned into perverted inventions leading them astray

While this isn't scripture, it's a keen insight. Sin is, among other things, human capacity turned against what humans were created to be. The rebellion carries its own penalty. People complain about a God who'd send people to hell, but He is letting people craft their own hells, in which pleasures are cruelly fleeting however resources are amassed, and then stay there if they are adamant about it.

God is not unfair at all to us. We've been unfair to God, often worse than we now suspect.

She’s interesting. These are mostly bible paraphrases.

Yes, her experience and her sharing it are very interesting. I'm about half way through it after about a year of reading and study. I have some doubt occasionally, but at this point I am inclined to accept the book True Life In God and all its claims as presented.

As you note, it quotes and paraphrases the Bible, quoting from what I think might be a New Revised Standard? Not sure. As I've admitted before, I'm a curious lo-info non-denominational Christian and somewhat reformed prodigal son, looking for answers and finding understanding and more questions.

True Life In God has been a good read that's been very good for me on many levels and it's by that fruit, I'm getting to know it.

[HiTech RedNeck]

She seems sincere enough and keeps mostly on track with mainline Christian thought. She puts Christ first (as I attempt to do) and from that standpoint is able to make substantive appeals for the reunification of Christendom.

REVERSED!
