Let us = LISTEN to TRUTH - John 21:24-25
This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who has written them down. And we know that his testimony is true.
There are many more things that Jesus did. If all of them were written down, I suppose that not even the world itself would have space for the books that would be written.

i AGREE with this Truth and the fact that their is so much MORE that God will eventually reveal to us of His Glory.
Agreed. And God has never stopped revealing Himself and His thoughts since those early days when He came to the humans and talked directly to them. Like with Cain, Gen 4:9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

Jesus said, And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

The Jews and Gentile sheep will hear His voice. The church hears Jesus talk with them. Thanks to the Holy Spirit this is made possible.
The Apostle John knows this very well for HE experienced it First-HAND = at the Right Hand of GOD = walking with CHRIST
We too who are in Christ are seared with God our Father. That’s every child of God not just a few.
Now NOTICE that John was fully submitted to Christ and as such he was given more Truth then most realize.
More committed to Christ than who? Billy Graham, John Wesley, Charles Spurgeon, Polycarp and those seated with God in Christ in heavenly places.
Yet, what does the Holy Spirit in John want us to place our complete trust in??? = His Written Words of LIFE
Can you elaborate on this. Where does God say this?
We are all born in darkness and sin, our minds unable to SEE except for the Grace and Mercy of GOD in His Creation and in His Word
Agree. And when we are born again we have eyes that can see, ears that can hear God's expressions of thoughts directly in our spirit. God's Spirit communicates to our spirit as you would have read. Rom. 8
The only Way to come out of the darkness/sin is to run to the LIGHT = JESUS is that LIGHT and so also is His Word

What John knows and most overlook and even worse deny = John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The Word that was God in the Beginning became flesh and dwelt among us.
Jesus is the Word of God Who was given words from God to speak to us humans. And the great truth is He has never stopped communicating directly to us. New words of God specificly to us for us in the unique situations we find ourselves in each day. Wherever we are listening out for them may be a difficult story.
God knew exactly the Weapon that HE avails to us when He Spoke Truth = His Word
Even down to the smallest letter
If you mean JESUS Himself is THE WORD than yes. And Jesus is not mute, nor is He dead. I Don't know why some people treat Him with contempt. He is ALIVE and we are in Him, ALIVE too. Our current relationship is with an ALIVE Jesus Who actually hears and speaks with us.
For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. - Matt 5:18

Satan wants you to look outside of His Word for "truth" = for there satan can lure you into his "truth"

Please read again Matthew 4:1-11

Thank You
Satan can want this as much as he likes. I don't care at all what he wants. I fix my attention on my Father and listen out for what He communicates to me throughout each day. New revelations flow from Him and are delivered by His Spirit directly to my spirit. This relationship He has established is remarkable and brilliant. I love Him so much.

If you are trying to suggest that the Holy Spirit is giving us new teaching which cannot be found in Scripture then you would be considered a false teacher or a false prophet.
I for one don't really care what label people try to stick on me. I have no aspirations to have a human asigned label. What about you?

As far as the ongoing communication we have with the Holy Spirit then it is absolutely incredible. I receive it and live by it each day. The ongoing words of God that He speaks to my spirit are absolutely amazing. As the Spirit communicates them to me I am being sanctified and transformed into the image and likeness of my Lord,, my Saviour, my Friend Jesus.

Are these exact words found in Scripture. No. Do they contradict what God has already said? Not that I'm aware of. But hey, God has been known to do that. And He has the right to do as He pleases. Even to arrange to have His perfect Son killed.

A few years ago God spoke to me and said past, present and future co-exist. I thought that very strange for Him to say this ans what purpose does this knowledge serve? So I replied, I want to find this in scripture to know it is Your voice I am hearing. I found in Revelation 1:4 “John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;”
— Revelation 1:4 (KJV)

Jesus existed in the past, the present and the future....He is the beginning and end. So he has been present the whole time. And God saw all things from beginning to end of that which was to come and how it would end.

So what He told me was backed up in scripture. What purpose does this knowledge serve? To me I believe it helps to increase my faith in trusting my prayers to be answered already. Outside of time, it already has happened and God has already seen it. So now I can be assured that my prayers are already fulfilled.

If I hadn't found it in scripture I would have rejected it.

That's great for you. And that is the process you adopt to determine truth. My encouragement is to stay with that unless the Spirit in you changes that process.

As for me, I did that for a long time too. But years ago God changed that process for me as He has for many of His children. I don't consult the scriptures buy if the Spirit brings them to mind then I'm all ears. I don't discriminate between written or spoken words of God through others AND what the same Spirit says to me directly, not originating from the scriptures.

They are all from the same Source, the mind of the Creator.

Yes, for sure. The Creator used His imagination to design then create a place John refered to as the lake of fire.

And those sent there will be there for ever and ever. Or more accurately for age and age

properly an age
you forgot; And yes for sure Satan will end up in there. Nice diversion but not working.

God's Commandment says no other gods before Him

This implies MORE then worship.

What did God Say by using the word "before" Him?
It was God who inspired the words of John 1:1 and 2 Cor 4:4. Thus its your reasoning that is faulty on that matter. Even Solomon fell to false god worship at the end. Israel kept falling over and over. Its about not worshipping false gods, but being called god, like at John 1:1 and 2Cor 4:4 means has godlike qualities, it does not say to worship them.
No other Gods before him means giving worship to them.
Many in darkness give worship to both being called god at John 1:1 and 2 Cor 4:4. Satan and his teachers transform into angels of light( 2Cor 11:12-15), using love, sharing, Gods word( twisted)- and many things like that.

He certainly will. The future is made up of aions, ages. One after another that keeps on going. After Satan and his angels are sent to the lake of fire for aion after aion, only God knows how many of these ages will pass before Satan will repent and be reconciled to their Creator. This includes all the humans judged, sentenced and sent there.

God NEVER inspired NWT "and the Word was a god"

"the Word was a god" is Satans Moto

Genesis 3:5 - "the Serpent said......you will be like God"

If you mean why persist with my personal relationship with the Spirit of Christ, then I would have to say something like, where else would I go? Only He has access to the deep things of God.

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

you persist with your lies and add more lies, the lake of fire is a final, permanent

What you wrote is completely false and extremely dangerous. You are teaching something Jesus never taught. You are claiming that Satan and the wicked will repent after judgment, even after being thrown into the lake of fire. This is not just a mistake. This is a direct attack against the clear warnings of Jesus. You are giving people a false hope that judgment is not final. That lie has destroyed souls for centuries.

First, Jesus made it clear that there is no repentance after judgment. In Luke 16:19–31 Jesus told the story of the rich man and Lazarus. The rich man was already in torment and begged for mercy, but the answer was simple: a great gulf is fixed, and no one can cross from one side to the other. There is no more change, no more movement, and no more repentance. Jesus Himself said this, not a commentary.

Second, Jesus said the punishment of the wicked is everlasting. In Matthew 25:46 He said, “And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” The same word that describes the life of the saved also describes the punishment of the lost. If the punishment ends, then eternal life ends also. The teaching you gave denies the very words of the Lord.

Third, Jesus described the end of Satan very clearly. In Revelation 20:10 (spoken by Jesus through His angel), Satan is cast into the lake of fire and “will be tormented day and night forever and ever.” Jesus did not say “for many ages until he repents.” He said forever and ever. No return. No reconciliation. No forgiveness after judgment.

Fourth, the Old Testament also teaches final judgment without escape. Isaiah 66:24 says that the wicked are destroyed in a way that their worm does not die and their fire is not quenched. Jesus repeated this three times in Mark 9:43–48, showing the seriousness of final judgment. If Jesus quotes this as the final state, then your teaching directly contradicts Him.

Fifth, there is not one verse in the Bible where Satan repents. Not one verse where he is forgiven. Not one verse where fallen angels are restored. Jesus said in John 8:44 that the devil “does not stand in the truth” and that he is a murderer “from the beginning.” Jesus never said he will one day change. You are rewriting the words of the King.

Sixth, Jesus warned many times that the door will be shut. In Matthew 25:10 to 12, the foolish virgins found the door closed and Jesus told them, “I do not know you.” In Luke 13:24 to 28 He said many will seek to enter and will not be able. When God shuts the door, it stays shut. Judgment is final.

You are saying the opposite of what Jesus taught. That is not a small mistake. It is a soul-destroying lie.

Here is your warning.

Jesus said in Matthew 12:36 that every idle word will be judged. He said in Matthew 18:6 that anyone who causes others to stumble will face terrible judgment. He said in Revelation 22:18 to 19 that anyone who adds to His words or takes away from them will lose their part in the tree of life. You are adding to His words by creating a false future that He never revealed. You are taking away His warnings by promising a second chance that He never gave.

If you continue down this path, you are not only deceiving yourself but putting others in danger. Jesus’ teaching is clear. Judgment is final. The lost stay lost. Satan’s end is eternal destruction. There is no repentance in the lake of fire. There is no return after the door closes.

Fear God. Return to the words of Jesus. Stop spreading this lie before it harms you and those who hear you.

And you said you will go to Hell FOREVER too. I don't think you're gonna like your eternal roommates!

There is no more change, no more movement, and no more repentance. Jesus Himself said this, not a commentary.
Jesus wasn't refering to the lake of fire where death and hell will be cast. This is the second death. Everyone living being will have been judged and sentenced to the lake of fire by this stage. The rich man's brother would already be in the lake of fire not in their father's home.

Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house.

For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

And no, Jesus didn't made it clear that there is no repentance after judgment.
Second, Jesus said the punishment of the wicked is everlasting. In Matthew 25:46 He said, “And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” The same word that describes the life of the saved also describes the punishment of the lost. If the punishment ends, then eternal life ends also. The teaching you gave denies the very words of the Lord.
No, who said that the progression of aeons or ages ends. During one of these perpetual ages those who haven't repented will and they will be reconciled to their Creator. Their life will continue for a never ending series of ages (forever). Then we will ALL be united with our loving Creator. We have been told why.

2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Third, Jesus described the end of Satan very clearly. In Revelation 20:10 (spoken by Jesus through His angel), Satan is cast into the lake of fire and “will be tormented day and night forever and ever.” Jesus did not say “for many ages until he repents.” He said forever and ever. No return. No reconciliation. No forgiveness after judgment.
Yes Jesus through His Spirit did reveal that Satan will repent and be reconciled to God.

Even Paul knew about this.

Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

Col 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Fourth, the Old Testament also teaches final judgment without escape. Isaiah 66:24 says that the wicked are destroyed in a way that their worm does not die and their fire is not quenched. Jesus repeated this three times in Mark 9:43–48, showing the seriousness of final judgment. If Jesus quotes this as the final state, then your teaching directly contradicts Him.
Where does Jesus say this is the final state. I don't see those words written here.

I read these words though....Mrk 9:48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Fifth, there is not one verse in the Bible where Satan repents. Not one verse where he is forgiven. Not one verse where fallen angels are restored. Jesus said in John 8:44 that the devil “does not stand in the truth” and that he is a murderer “from the beginning.” Jesus never said he will one day change. You are rewriting the words of the King.
The Bible is not exhaustive. It doesn't contain everything Jesus taught or was going to teach.
That's the role of His Spirit Who He sent to bring us the mind of Christ.

Jhn 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

Sixth, Jesus warned many times that the door will be shut. In Matthew 25:10 to 12, the foolish virgins found the door closed and Jesus told them, “I do not know you.” In Luke 13:24 to 28 He said many will seek to enter and will not be able. When God shuts the door, it stays shut. Judgment is final.
Again that's the interpretation YOU have of the fraction of what was recorded of what Jesus taught.
You are saying the opposite of what Jesus taught. That is not a small mistake. It is a soul-destroying lie.
Not at all. This gives us hope for our family and friends, our neighbours and enemies who have already died outside of Christ. It revives ones soul. It reveals a loving Creator Who will judge the wicked AND will redeem and reconcile every last one of them.

Do I want anyone to go into the lake of fire? No. But many will.
Here is your warning.

Jesus said in Matthew 12:36 that every idle word will be judged.
Theses words of God will accomplish whatever He desires. I simply receive and share them.
He said in Matthew 18:6 that anyone who causes others to stumble will face terrible judgment.
This revelation of God lifts, brings hope and encouragement. It reveals the very patient, merciful, gracious, kind Creator which He is.
He said in Revelation 22:18 to 19 that anyone who adds to His words or takes away from them will lose their part in the tree of life.
You are adding to His words by creating a false future that He never revealed. You are taking away His warnings by promising a second chance that He never gave.
The truth is this revelation didnt come from me but God. So I'm not adding to what was revealed to John, God has.

If you continue down this path, you are not only deceiving yourself but putting others in danger. Jesus’ teaching is clear. Judgment is final. The lost stay lost. Satan’s end is eternal destruction. There is no repentance in the lake of fire. There is no return after the door closes.

Fear God. Return to the words of Jesus. Stop spreading this lie before it harms you and those who hear you.
I love God because He first loved me. When He reveals Himself to me, I'm not going to be ashamed of Him, I am going to pass Him on.
Remembering that He is not willing that any should perish but that ALL should come to repentance. My confidence is that whatever He wills for, He will accomplish. Pretty simple hey.

Yes, Jesus continues to speak truth now that He's back by His Father's side. And as He promised, He will send His Spirit with God's truths directly to us. I really value receiving these truths. They have been life changing.

Again, God's use of our imagination He designed and created in us is incredible. He has given us a new heart as part of the new birth. The old heart, the one that was desperately wicked and deceitful has been replaced. I have the mind of Christ because of this new birth into Christ. Now my imagination with the new heart and mind of Christ can see and understand divine truths it was blind to previously. As Paul experienced and expressed, Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
We have the mind of Christ.

Truth

Untruth.

Jesus is Lord. Truth. And He invites us to understand His parables via our imagination. And God will do so much more than we can imagine or ask. So imagine away with your new mind. There's no need to fear it. Remember we have a NEW heart and we have the mind of Christ.
You are not describing the new birth the Bible teaches. You are describing a system where your imagination has become your authority. Scripture never says the new heart or the mind of Christ turns human imagination into a channel for new revelation. That idea does not come from the Word of God.

The “new heart” God gives does not erase the flesh. Paul says plainly that the flesh still fights the Spirit in every believer ~Galatians 5:17. The battle continues until glory. If imagination were suddenly safe and pure, there would be no need to “bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” ~2 Corinthians 10:5. That verse alone destroys the claim that your imagination now delivers divine truth. God commands believers to discipline their thoughts because thoughts can still go wrong.

You quoted “we have the mind of Christ,” but you ignored the context. Paul was talking about the revelation already given through the apostles by the Spirit. He was not talking about private impressions or inner pictures. The same passage says those truths were “spoken not in words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches” ~1 Corinthians 2:13. Those words became Scripture. You are not receiving new Scripture.

Jesus never told anyone to interpret His parables through their imagination. He explained them to His disciples directly, and those explanations are written in Scripture. The disciples did not imagine the meaning. They were taught by Him, and the Spirit later brought those teachings to remembrance ~John 14:26, not new teachings.

What you are promoting is not how the Spirit works. The Spirit uses the Word He inspired. He does not bypass Scripture. He does not add revelation. He does not feed believers private spiritual truths unanchored in the written Word. When someone claims to receive “life changing truth” outside of Scripture, that is the very deception Scripture warns about. “Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God” ~1 John 4:1. The test is always the Word, not imagination.

You keep insisting your impressions come from God, but nothing you teach agrees with Scripture. That is how error exposes its source. If you continue clinging to these inner revelations instead of the written Word, then what you are following is not the Spirit of truth. It is deception, and it leads others into deception as well.

Scripture is enough. What God has spoken is enough. Stop treating imagination as revelation. The Spirit of God speaks through the Word of God, never beyond it.

You are not describing the new birth the Bible teaches. You are describing a system where your imagination has become your authority. Scripture never says the new heart or the mind of Christ turns human imagination into a channel for new revelation. That idea does not come from the Word of God.

The “new heart” God gives does not erase the flesh. Paul says plainly that the flesh still fights the Spirit in every believer ~Galatians 5:17. The battle continues until glory. If imagination were suddenly safe and pure, there would be no need to “bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” ~2 Corinthians 10:5. That verse alone destroys the claim that your imagination now delivers divine truth. God commands believers to discipline their thoughts because thoughts can still go wrong.

You quoted “we have the mind of Christ,” but you ignored the context. Paul was talking about the revelation already given through the apostles by the Spirit. He was not talking about private impressions or inner pictures. The same passage says those truths were “spoken not in words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches” ~1 Corinthians 2:13. Those words became Scripture. You are not receiving new Scripture.
