Outranking Reality

[Nostromo]

I'll stick with the classical.

The thing is, as usual... you don't get to choose whether or not the other states exist.

Actually you have to be hot or cold. If your luke warm God will spew you out. That does not mean you lose your salvation. It means that you do not represent God. So you will lose any reward that you would have received.

3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

May I point out that it's against the rules to imply that who identify themselves as christian aren't christian.

To the point, can Mickey Mouse outrank anyone on the Disney Corporation's board of directors?

But...IS Micky Mouse real...?

Whose rules apply....God's or man's...?

I did not imply anything. I simply quoted the Bible. Is it against the rules to talk about the Bible?

Looks like you guys aren't being guided by the Holy Spirit to the same answers... funny how you both peddle it as "the truth."

We are saying the same thing. He said God did it, I only talked about how God did it. What is so difficult about this for you to understand. Simply put God can use YOU to accomplish His purpose.

"His purpose" is indistinguishable from man's purpose.

On this forum, man's.

So now you get to outrank reality too?

God is not the author of confusion.

Interestingly, there are several references to the God of the Bible causing confusion upon the masses.

The confusion does not come from God. He gives us power, love and a sound mind.
It takes a while to learn what it means to have the mind of Christ.

 

[Delphiki]

Hey, at least you've learned to separate God from reality. Good job!

Perhaps God is using me to accomplish his purpose... to correct those of you here who claim to understand His mind.

That's not true. Let's start with the God of the Bible confusing languages. (Gen 11)

Great would you like to share with us your study of the scriptures that pertain to this? Or did you somehow plan to teach us the Bible without having studied the Bible first?

 

[Jazer]

That's not true. Let's start with the God of the Bible confusing languages. (Gen 11)

Wonderful, you want to have a Bible study. What passages did you want to start with?

 

[Mling]

I'm sure proper reading will reveal that God didn't do that--he just egged on satan to do it so he could win a bet with him.

 

[AV1611VET]

Sure -- you can start by showing me that in the KJV.

Ahh, he already said, Genesis 11. Pretty sure he meant this part:

6And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
9Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

(Amplified Bible amplifies "confound," as "confuse, mix up." For what that's worth.)

It's worth a grain of salt, if you ask me.
