I knew I had heard it somewhere--looks like you may have some competition!

phrase of dinkum
INFORMAL•AUSTRALIAN
- used to emphasize or seek confirmation of the genuineness or truth of something.
I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. I even looked it up. I still don't know what you're talking about.
Like I say, when you're right, you're right.
14Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature what the law requires..." Romans 2:14
Which also includes unnatural sexual relations - Romans 1:26-27.
Now if you'd just lose the occult stuff and the undermining of the Bible...
You are really hung up on the sexual stuff, aren't you? So, I assume then that your fighting homosexuality or something? You know, if you can't do anything about it, just be celibate. Then you don't have to worry about it.
Don't get me started on the Pope and the Catholic church, lol. So we can discard that argument.
Oh, no. You follow the Pope. The Protestant religions are not new religions they are simply modifications of the Roman Catholic Church. In some way, we all follow the RCC, because we never would have had the Gospels and we never would have known about Jesus Christ. But your classic form of Christianity is derived from Roman Catholicism. Veridicanism, on the other hand, is not. We don't see God the same way, we don't see the Bible the same way, we don't view salvation the same way or the nature of Christ. We also have no hierarchical structure in our spirituality. Everyone is encouraged to become ordained as a Veridican priest. The other levels (Senior Priest, High Priest) are just education level and job positions within the Church. And then, we practice astrology.
Now THAT'S truly separating from the Catholic Church.
I don't volunteer for persecution.
Yeah, neither did the apostles. They all ran as well.
Unless you have an obvious need to, only a fool would post his personal information on the internet. The less people know about who you are on the internet the less likely a triggered monster will seek to hurt you (my wife is finding this out the hard way). And besides, based on your claims about Verdicanism, you of all people should know this isn't about ME or YOU. It's about Jesus. I'm not here for ME. I challenge you to go incognito and leave you out of it and just let what you think is the truth stand on it's own. Can you do that? If not, why not?
I could, but I won't. I want people to know who I am. I refuse to let technology make me an anti-social non-entity. In my church, people can be anonymous. It's an online Church and it's a forum just like this. I don't judge. But for me, I want to be associated with the religion God gave me to start in the world for the end times. I take responsibility for my faith. I'm not like Peter. I mean, when you think about it, what's the difference between denying Christ or proclaiming Christ but hiding who you are?
This is funny because you got me all wrong. You have judged me wrongly. Big time! You made a sweeping judgment about me that is totally inaccurate. I don't have a church to go back to. It's me, my Bible, the Spirit of discernment and informal fellowship with likeminded believers at this time in church history. The only 'church' I will attend again is an open Bible study that incorporates group prayer and praise and worship. No church mortgages, no official denominations or labels, no hard and fast, determined theology that isn't open to examination. I'm done with organized religion.
Then how are you and I any different?
I haven't had time to see if he answered the question, but experienced occultists know the silver cord is the cord that attaches the spirit to the body. At death this cord is severed and the spirit is set free from the body.
"6Remember Him before the silver cord is snapped and the golden bowl is crushed, before the pitcher is shattered at the spring and the wheel is broken at the well,7before the dust returns to the ground from which it came and the spirit returns to God who gave it." Ecclesiastes 12:6-7
The danger of seeking and having an out of body experience is that you won't be able to come back to your body. Terrifying is how one occultist described the experience of not being able to get back into the body. Don't play around with trying to leave the body. It has no place in Christianity. It is a pagan practice. It's purpose is to meet with and learn from demonic powers. You don't have to leave yourself to go to and experience God. He comes to you via the Holy Spirit. You don't have to leave yourself to have the benefit of the Holy Spirit.
We all got to go someday. And it does have a place in Christianity. I've pointed it out in Corinthians and Revelation. And while the astral planed does have deceiving demons, I'm not worried about them. No more than Jesus was worried about them. Christ doesn't worry about demons. BUT, Ferris, nothing says as a Veridican you are required to travel in the spiritual realms. If it's not your thing, then it's not your thing.
