Ideas and Concepts in the Principalities

[Man on Fire]

The Bible asserts Truth with a capitol T. Truth is objective.

There are ideas or concepts in the Spiritual or Principalities. Given a deception, these concepts or ideas may be out of tune with God and Truth. When tuned to God and Truth, these concepts work in common sense and towards man's best interests in the long term. When out of sync it makes bad music. Sing unto The Lord a new song.

OH I used to play Malaguena on the piano when I was really irritated. Everyone in the family knew to "leave me alone" until I began playing hymns

I agree. Biblical Truth is objective, it's true whether you feel it's true or not.

Today's warfare is in the heavenly's, not in the earthly's. It is Satan v God and you and I are serving one or the other.

The core of the battle is the truth. Today we are being fed all sorts of lies that masquerade as truth. A classic example is that you are born homosexual, put out by Satan to try and convince us that there is an alternative to God's creation of man and woman.

Because it is a lie, you only have to take the opposite view to know what the truth is, that you are not born homosexual.

The same with the idea that you can be a boy one day and a girl the next. That is a lie so you only have to take the opposite view that you are what God created you to be to know what the truth is.

Whenever you are presented with a claim, think of what the opposite is and then decide which one lines up with what God says. The one that does is the truth.

Once you realise this you can take all the stress out of deciding what is the right thing to do as there is no stress in following the truth. There might be persecution but there will be no stress because you will get God's approval for following the truth and living your life by it.

I wish it were always that simple. Anyone else ever been between a rock and a hard place, spiritually speaking?
Stay with the adulterous spouse, or go?
Stay in the compromised church, or wander from one to the next?

I like the following link: Thumos and Holy Fire

God has a mighty thumos. Someone listening to God should have Righteous Anger.

It is that simple. It is us that makes it complicated largely due to the fact we do not train ourselves to hear the voice of God and recognise his leading and the fact we may be a bit afraid to step out of the boat and walk on the water.

I have been doing this for a long time and am used to the criticisms and voice of those who think they know it all so they won't listen to the truth.

While in the professional field of counseling I hit a real wall when the idea of "you have your own truth, I have my own truth" was pushed.

Now regarding homosexuality... I agree that no one used to be born that way, it was a learned behavior. However, I will give credence that perhaps perpetual sin has changed the genes of parents ... somehow... because we know that smoking marijuana makes a man more effeminate...what if over decades it has been able to change a gene? I can't answer that. There has to be a reason for so many to be so confused. I will attribute it to satan, of course at the root, but is it something they are putting into vaccinations?(Gates stated in public that "we have to decrease the population---of course we are doing this through vaccinations") Is it part of the HPV vaccine scam? Could it be the aluminum, barium, strontium or other items in the clouds/chem trail smoke that is causing this? But I do agree it is not part of God or His will.

I guess the simple answer to that is that no one has found a homosexual gene.

Yes of course that's true, even though they look for it... I guess that was too strong a word... because what enzymatic reaction is occuring to the male who smokes mj extensively that he becomes more feminine..and could that propensity be handed down to an offspring... along with environmental aspects and the child's desire to be "just like dad/mom" literally... that creates such confusion? (I always suggest one looks into his or her pants for the correct answer.)

We can't avoid the fact that we do change according to our environment as in from caveman to modern man so nothing is beyond the realm of possibility but we have to avoid speculation that takes us away from the essential truths that we know to be God's word and wisdom.

We have a classic example of what happens in today's idea that you can be a boy one day and a girl the next.

I don't do any mj, and don't see that doing using it in any way gains someone in Faith with God. Especially when lawful authority says not to. Someone doing mj may have been in rebellion and not growing in Faith.

I do drink.

Hopefully, you weren't referring to me?

No. It was a general comment.

I drink as well. Water, sparkling water; flavoured sparkling water; lemon, lime and bitters cordial is my favourite, cider and wine. Can't stand beer.

Allegories. Man is made in the image of God. God had me make allegories.

Nah! Allegories have been around forever and a day.

Correct. The Song of Songs is in the Bible for its Allegorical Contribution.

Given someone studies exorcism like "Conference on Exorcism" Friar Ripperger, and other sources, Spirits may be passed down generationally it appears. There may also be generational curses. (Possibly related but different topic.) Someone's life is rough, and they don't know why? It may be a generational curse. That is an interesting topic to think on and how exactly it has worked.
