Athene-

Stopping by the thread...it was for such things as...Tangnefedd, Freezbee,Artybloke,Tattedsaint, and others. The final representation is in the Book of Revelation to those 'posts.' I'm not going to make this long, believe me. We have to remember that this here - here is 'Liberal Theology.'
If you like however, you can go to Matthew 5 17-20 & Luke 21 25-33. Every single one of us can pull out particular verses and such. So I'll tell you as well - go against what is 'written'...and you're on your own. It's not about you reaching me, or me reaching you - look where we are here! If any one of you wants to go against written biblical text...go ahead - there are dangers though. And if you, or any of you, don't have the scriptures in your hand, just what are you using for the Word Of God. Does it differ from what any of us are talking about here? Athene...what do you use? Polycarpl1...what is under your arm? Texas Lynn...what written Word do you have? I use the King James and the NIV - my end of it.

Do any of us have a different enemy though? I think Satan just loves every little struggle that each of us has against one another. There are many dangerous fronts to fight on, and this isn't the biggest one. The Jewish faith without the Messiah is another. The worship of the Queen of Heaven (mary) has its place. The (word) Faith Movement documents sorrows. And the other 100 or so, that try to hide behind the actual Gospel. These range from cults to cover-ups, as Satan disguises the package if some don't bite on it.

Good luck my friends...

:thumbsup: YOU GOT IT!

We don't wrestle against flesh (humans-physically) and blood (that humans have inside their physical body) but that which is demonic, in short:

The World:
[bible]John 14:17[/bible]
[bible]John 14:22-23[/bible]
[bible]John 16:8-11[/bible]
[bible]John 16:33[/bible]
[bible]1 John 2:16[/bible]

The Flesh:
[bible]Galatians 5:19-22[/bible]

And The Devil.

The Deceiver. (Old Testament)
The Father of Lies. (The Gospel of Jesus Christ in the natural)
The Accuser of the Brethren. (The Gospel of Jesus Christ now Resurrected)

Fl,


So, begging your pardon again, if I might ask you:
Do you mean to tell me that you don't TAKE in your HEART
AS "GOD'S TRUTH" The Word or the Spirit in Acts?
or The Word or the Spirit in Romans,
Or Ephesians...or Revelation and the like? :scratch:

Is the Holy Spirit now just a commentary work and nothing else? :scratch:

And I'm not taking about the pages or the ink but ~The Word of God's Word~ that IS WRITTEN and to be written Spiritually on our hearts? :wave:

God's Word is Jesus. He represents the fullness of God. The rest of the Bible is commentary to Jesus. Where it conflicts with Jesus, ditch it, where it agrees, run with it.

It's just a rule-of-thumb.

Yes I did my Greek and Hebrew studys in dept for a long time and then The Holy Spirit said I'll tell you what it's saying. In a sense, get your face out of those book (definition of words of Greek and of Hebrew which I many books that were a friend of mine while I was living there when I lost it all, even my son who was kidnapped by his father--anyway) get your face out of those books and ASK ME! Well, God's Spirit was right, He WAS THE ONE who inspired those Holy men to inscribe (if you will) the Pattern of Christ on paper.

:scratch:
I agree that the 'books' are only a guide, but without these books and reasearch done since the N T was first written, how would be know what the Greek and Hebrew words meant. To say that the Holy Spirit tells us what they mean is okay but everyone on this planet has a different understanding of at least somme of the texts. I believe the Holy Spirit tells us what we need to know for where we are and to help us along the nexst step of our journey with God. Try and do some of the translations the way ALL of our English Bibles were done and you will find that there is NO just relying on the Holy Spirit, but a lot of hard work in finding the right variants and searching for the right meaning of the particulat word / phrase. e.g. take the formation of the KJV by a committee formed by King James.

With the second bit I highlighted there seems to be words missing!

I was probably getting tired. :sleep:

different understanding
Oh that's easy:
:sleep: :yawn: :sleep: Look,....ponder this:
There is 7 meanings to each Hebrew Letter.
And there is 70 meaning for each Hebrew word.

but a lot of hard work in finding the right variants and searching for the right meaning of the particulat word

That's works! :eek:

There's a work to work In Christ and that's not it, we've already been
told Oh Man what is good and that is the Holy Spirit leading us to putting to death the deeds of our flesh. What you are talking about English V. verses the KJ V. is how Satan has caused you to choose sides. In other words, He is taking The Written Word and twisting it and trying to separate things from God's Word to cause us to wrestle against one another, as your doing with me in mentioning your English vs. the King James wrestle.

Don't do it, it's evil unto evil. :preach:
Don't go with Satan!
Repent and go back to your first Love. :preach:
Take what ever Bible you want and refall in Love with Jesus all over again. But cause your agruement is in the gall of bitterness.
Lo, I have told you!

Satan is setting you up to have opponents with men,.....but He's is your enemy not men who care to even climb on a tree calling himself an animal nor a man who reads the King James Version.

Since I've heard from the Holy Spirit who inspired The Written Word which testify's of Jesus through my KJV Bible at that, I believe I'll listen to the Holy Spirit above what any man can say, since what most men say (not naming any here) is not in Balanced with God's Written Word nor His Spirit. Any error's in translations,.....God can handle it!

This is in a nut-shell what God HATH TOLD ME TO DO. :thumbsup:
I'LL LISTEN TO HIS VOICE AND HIS ANOINTING, and you Listen to
His Voice and His Anointing in you.

Peace,
Connie :sleep: Night~~~

For some reason I can't use your previous quote so here is my reply

What has discussing the pros and cons of particular versions got to do with siding with Satan. Be careful of saying, or suggesting, that if one doesn't agree with me (as I have the Holy Spirit on MY side [and therefore he is not on yours]) then they must be of Satan!

God created colours other than Black and White... issues are no different.

I think that there is now thousands of colours (or better variations thereof) throughout the rainbow. The same with who and what God is and what He/She is all about!

Some people will accept any cruelty or intolerance, just because they think they can find a verse in the Bible that will support their argument. Quite apart from the fact that the Bible was written centuries ago when life was very different to what it is today, if a thing is wrong in the eyes of most reasonable people, then it is wrong, whether it is in the Bible or not!

Slavery was partly condoned because St Paul urged slaves to honour their masters! Well no right-minded person would want to bring slavery back, would they? Similarly intolerance towards gays is wrong, and just because the book of Leviticus and St Paul were homophobic, does not make it right! It suits some fundies to have their wives in submission to them, that is not right either. Using the Bible as a rule book for the way we should live in the 21st Century is fraught with problems, because how can stuff written so long ago have much bearing on how we live today? Of course we mustn't chuck the baby out with the bathwater, there are some good things in the Bible, but imo we should choosey about what we take on board, bearing in mind the times in which it was written!

When it talks about slaves and there masters, I dont belive it is talking about the slavery you are thinking of. I think it's talking about workers and bosses, or of us obeying people of higher authority. I dont belive it is talking about the slavery the way it was with african americans for example, those people were Kidnaped, forced into slavery, abused, overworked, no pay, and minimum shelter. God does not aprove of this kind of treatment of people. The problem is that alot of the bible is writen in medaphores, in a figurtive sence and people mis interpret it.

The bible was wrote by God, he basically spoke the words to the bible writers to put down. So it is God who wrote the bible, not man.

Another thing to, you cant read one verse in the bible and get the full meaning of what it's talking about. There are many verses on every subject, you have to carefully study all the verses on the subject at hand to get the full meaning of what God is really talking about.

nobody is perfect, but major mistakes come from people who study the bible and dont do it properly and take things the wrong way.

Like I have said too though nobody is perfect, the bible is. It's just us humans arent. You can go to different Religious afiliations and even different ministers and they will more than likely have different views on the subjects of the bible. I just basically recomend careful study and consideration and follow your concience, just do your best with it, we will never be perfect in this day and age. Anything that is misunderstood will be cleared up when the proper time comes.:cool:

I'm aware of that, and your point is?

:cool: It does sound counterdictive to some compared to what you wrote that you found, but thats because people might not be understanding the subject in the fullest sence. It would require more extensive study on the subject at hand to get the full view. I guess thats the point im making in general.

Some people will take two verses like this and say the bible counterdicts itself because they dont understand the full meaning on the subject, dont get me wrong im not saying thats what you are doing, im just talking to people in general.

The slavery of the time is quite clearly spelt out in the O T particularly, which is similar and even worse than the highlighted passage above! If someone didn't have a slave, in those days, they weren't anyone important at all. Slaves were very common! the modern version of jobs and industry and all of this is just a very modern understanding.. Do not read todays 'civilised' systems back into any other time or place!

If the Bible was written by God and not man we have a very insecure and evil and confussed God. e.g. God couldn't find Adam and eve in the garded and called out for them. Then he asks who ate the forbidden fruit. Another is who killed Goliath 1 Sam 17 David or 2 Sam 21:19 Elhanan? Plus many, many other things from Leviticus!
