Yes how true, thank you for that observation.
I guess it depends upon what His meaning of "graven image" is. It is alluded to and called out, at least to limited my understanding:
"I am thirsty for adoration, but behold, what have you become and what have you done! O era! you have stopped adoring Me and you have, instead, multiplied your false gods;"Close enough for me to get the idea, but that's me."you preferred to cut off the navel-string that unites us and makes us one, to make out your own law and call yourself: godless;
taken by Vanity you want to consider yourself equal to Me; you are now saying: "I am equal to God and I am sitting on His Throne,"
"you are serving the dragon instead of your Holy One;"
"My child; they go out to teach all nations to worship the image of mortal man,4 a worthless imitation, instead of My Eternal Glory ..."
If that's your "Stop/Go" test and you say "Stop!", then that's what it is for you.
Acts 2:17 and Joel 2:28, I think, are two references that would support the idea of the messages if the time is right, as well as what T&R has reported back, and at this time these times sure do have an impending feel to them.
Also, I think most of us are like Elisha's servant, who must have been from Missouri, and not like Elisha.
We are the Doubting Thomases who say "Show me" but, unlike Elisha's servant, usually won't believe even then. Curious.
With that thought in mind, here's a fun read you might enjoy, too:
The Prophet Elisha, Chariots of Fire, and Angels all Around Us
I’ve been wondering who people thought the looker was in that post!
(According to Isaiah, it sure isn’t the Jesus we know.)
Thanks, GBA.
Your linked article sent me in search of a very special vid for you about angels during Israel’s Six-Day War. A short version that won’t take up much of your time.
I’m still looking for it...
(Perhaps I’ll have a miracle of my own and find it within 6 days.)
The Bible teaches me that one must be born from above to receive eternal life.
The Bible teaches me that Believing/faithing on Jesus as my Savior and Lord has birthed me from above ... I am born again.
The Bible teaches me that being born from above I now have eternal life in me, for it is Christ Who is in me both to will and to do of His good pleasure. As many as are lead by the Spirit, they are the sons of God.
The Bible teaches me and you to not mess with familiar spirits, and you've told us that you do that.
The Bible tells me to disassociate from one who messes with familiar spirits.
Do you believe the vision of Fatima was from God. or Mary?
It seems it was posted to depict Jesus in a way that is completely against His nature.
It’s a way to “shame” those that don’t follow their belief system.
Just more “Protestant” bashing.
Those that don’t exhibit with their posts that they know Jesus will use Him in the most blasphemous ways to try to make their erroneous points in a “cute” way.
I prefer reasoned debate relying on the gospel messages from the Bible. Always showing respect for Jesus and His mighty Sword of The Spirit.
The poster is all about ‘winning something’, not the gospel or the Lord’s message.
“The Bible teaches me and you not to mess with familiar spirits, and you’ve told us that you do that.”
And quite freely, earlier in the thread. Repeatedly confronted over it the language became more orthodox, and thus more subtle. There really is no way any believing church could overlook such a person’s teaching once it became known. Being clearly outside the realm of sound doctrine it could not stand unopposed.
Such reproof is in no way Pharisaical, but absolutely Biblical. There is no hidden realm behind Scripture just waiting to be revealed to the one who “goes inside”. Truth deepens and unfolds as we “give ear” to the Lord but this is not what New Agers mean by Light. They end up in spiritism and mediumship, with a false humility and a lot of “love” talk.
Meaningless, as It’s all twisted and the godly definitions have been subverted and switched.
Amen and amen, Syncro. Blasphemy that I pray is done in ignorance.
It has always raised more than just a little ire in me that people who dare attempt this always depict Jesus as an extremely handsome man which contradicts Isaiah 53:3:
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
It’s hard to understand that people could dare do this. He was not handsome at all as worldly standards would measure, but with such inner beauty that our minds cannot possibly comprehend.
(Please forgive any typos, Syncro. My mind is tired and my eyes are shot!)
Blessings to you.
“...the godly definitions have been subverted and switched”
Have you met the 3rd-eye opening people? Now, those people really scare me.
“The pineal gland. You know, ‘cause, like, Jacob met God face to face and called the place Piniel.”
Yes many are like that.
I just keep reminding them of the simple gospel message that leads to Eternal Life with Jesus.
“Do you believe the vision of Fatima was from God. or Mary?”
No question it was from God. Oh by the way.... angels are also spirits... Under your guidelines, you better not communicate with them.
Incidently, St Teresa of Avila also talked to spirits. As did every one of the disciples.
I stand by everything I said. And if you in disbelief choose to suffer rather than accept any healing done through me by the Holy Spirit, that is fine with me as my identity does not come from whether someone is healed or not. I am totally a servant of God and whatever happens or does not happen is ok with me. It used to be upsetting to know that someone was going to die soon, especially when it was by aggression or accident rather than illness. Now I just give it to God. My prayers are not for specific results, but for God’s will to be done. Things that happen are only to give glory to God. I will never cease to be amazed things God does through the Holy spirit.
I do a lot of work with stage 4 cancer patients, guiding them to their own connection with God in prayer. Often, that connection allows them to keep a clear mind right up to death as they do not feel the pain of the cancer even without painkillers. (Surprisingly, that has been true with inoperable brain tumors as well.) I work with many Dr’s helping them with patients when medical science has no solution. I look at an X-ray or MRI and read it not with my eyes, but by what I feel in my body. We are all connected by Spirit, even if the other person is on the opposite side of the world.
Spirit working through me has helped children with learning disabilities resolve their obstacles to learning. It has helped adopted children overcome the wound in their soul from the fear of being rejected again. It has helped women who were in one violent physically abusive relationship after another to heal their souls and rid them of the attraction toward abusers. It has helped rape victims to forgive their attackers and lose the fear of it happening again so they could have a healthy relationship and live a life without constantly looking over their shoulder in fear. It has helped parents who have lost their children in accidents and illness to heal the grief and function in life again. It has helped a lot of people who were fearful of loving to open their hearts to both their spouses and their children. It has healed marriages. And, it has helped children who became violent as a result of blaming themselves for their parent’s divorce. I generally only see a person one time, and tell them to come back only if they need to. All thanks and gratitude go to God, not me. I do not charge for the work that I do as it is a pleasure participating in god’s work. Each time something like this happens it fills my heart with joy and brings me to tears.
I’ve seen many miracles happen and even more people find Jesus and God in the process. Nothing gives me greater joy than seeing someone grow in Christ. That alone is my reward.
If you bring me the MD’s, scientists, skeptics, agnostics, and even the atheists, Spirit working through me will lead them to accepting Jesus. I’ve done this many times in both church and university settings. The more highly educated the easier it is. I explain and demonstrate the neuroscience of how the physical body and the human soul communicate. I’ve taught workshops on the “Neuroscience of Prayer” in major divinity schools. When you perceive the human soul as a physical object and can see and feel its contents, all this is easy. Often I will reach out and touch a wound in someone’s soul from fifteen feet away and it will knock them off their feet, even though I say nothing, do not touch them in any way, and their eyes are closed. It’s easy to tell what a mother thought of the child’s father while the child was in their womb, just by reading the soul of the child even though it is 50+ years later. All memories are stored in the human soul from conception on, no matter how old you are.
If you recognize a tree by the fruit it bears, the Spirit working through me must be a good one. If you choose your path, that is fine with me. If you harm others by misleading them with your beliefs and create fear in them, I pray for you as I am sure that you would never knowingly do such a thing.
You may say these things are being done by satan, but I beg to differ as satan would not work against satan. I have had him come after me several times and want to kill me. In the words of a nasty demon working for him that was trying to kill me, “They hate me for the work I do.” “I ruin their plans.” Just as Paul had a personal demon that constantly watched for an opening to torment him, I bear the same problem. I thank that demon for reminding me to pray and stay focused on Jesus. Each time they approach me, I feel gratitude toward them for reminding me to pray. It is good to Love thy enemies. Besides,to them Love is like placing hot coals upon their heads and keeps them away from me.
If you do not believe a word I have written, that is ok. I send a prayer with this writing that Jesus guide you in His Love to be with you always.
15 But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother.
16 And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand.
17 And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.
AFTER they died?
Oh?
You've not prove that your Christ is the CORRECT one.
Matthew 24:24
For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders,
Oh?
You commune with DEAD folks; the bible says not to do so.
Who is in the wrong again?
HMMMmmm...
My Book reflects Christ
1 Corinthians 13:12
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part;
James 1:23-25
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.
...and then her head spun around...
I put up a good front.
Ya start by being the Devil’s Advocate; then ya move up the ladder.
