If sealed with the HS, how does one become UNsealed ?

[MatthewG]

I understand. However, and I think you know this and have even said so, that your position is not necessarily the correct one. Still, in sharing your position, two things are possible: That you encourage some to know that it is okay to be seeing things as you do until if and when you know better, or encouraging some to actually think that what you now only believe is gospel enough. There is a danger. Words have power.

For this reason we should all be considerate of the impact we may have.

Oh I know they have power — life and death is no small thing. But that doesn’t really have anything to do with being a realist, you know? Just being realistic and considerate.

Anyway, people can read your words and take them in, or they can choose not to. That’s just how it goes.

I hope for the best either way. None of this means we aren’t believers in the Lord Yeshua, who was raised by the Holy Spirit of God. It just means we’re looking at things from two different perspectives.

 

[MatthewG]

I'll stop there--it is enough.

No, and taking a position that Jesus and his time among us was not for, and spoken, of all times...is grossly not biblical.

That's fine ScottA.

I have my own unstanding from having read the book itself, and I dont mix things up to try to make stuff up.

This is not a flex but I studied the bible for 8 years. (Guess that was all I needed I want to do more but I dont have to right now.) I literally read the Gospels several times over. Outloud to myself and even the Epistles letters. So like... I am not saying Im a genius but I am fairly well grounded on everything I have already shared.

You not gonna agree with me obviously that is okay.

Jesus never spoke to me. He always spoke to the people he was around.

You are not a "realist" Matthew. What is real is not defined by your understanding of things, or even by any measure of this world or of man.

 

[MatthewG]

I just read the Bible and share what it says. If people have a problem with that, that’s on them. Folks should be encouraged to read it for themselves instead of believing everything they hear out there. Thank you to everyone who dialogued with me. I hate it when people get a little riled up but you know it's the flesh its okay and all is good and forgiven.

I hate when people start making comments thats that are not needed and everything like that cause of a disagreement. Best just to move on and if you wanna tell other people your stuff tell them, and just remember where I am at.

Cause I dont have to change my mind, thank you @ScottA.

I believe Jesus came and gathered the bride, and Im not part of the sealed first century bride of Christ. There is no way I could ever be part of that group cause none of it was ever told to me that I need to be in Israel and watch for Jesus cause I was born in America.

You know its things like this, i think about.

I am just matthew who believes Jesus was risen again by the holy spirit of God and came back as promised to that first generation which he spoke of....

I dont know how anyone could be mad at that other than they dont get what they want.

That is enough. I dont have to even pick up the bible to know what it means to live by the spirit.

I mean listen dude you are the one who thinks he has a mission from God and stuff like that I have heard you say, so I dont agree with you and your stance and how you personally see yourself.


So there is the striking point of difference you think you are someone like been sent from God and you gotta mission.

I hope you compelte it man cause idk Im just me.



i dont claim to be sent by God or anything like that, there is no reason to. I dont have make up stuff or anything like that I jsut be real share what is presented and people think for themselves.

No one is mad at you Matthew, but caring and correction...are these not also written of, and should we who are assigned to them by God not do them?

You can be alone on an island with what you believe, but Jesus didn't walk on water just for Peter, and His message is unto the ends of the earth. Expect visitors.

Hey Scott, you keep saying you’re “correcting” me, but most of the time when I share Scripture, you just shut it down with a quick “no.” So I’m honestly not sure what you mean by caring correction, my guy.

I’m not upset — it’s just a little inconsistent.

And yeah, there are a couple thousand people who read what both of us write here. That’s exactly why I try to stay clear about where I stand. I respect my elders, truly, but I’m not you. I don’t have to think like you, and I don’t have to believe everything you say. Scripture even says, “Let each be fully convinced in his own mind” (Romans 14:5).

It just feels like your version of correction is basically, “Matthew, you’re wrong, forget everything you shared, because I’m right.” But that’s not how the apostles taught us to handle disagreements. Paul said, “Test all things; hold fast what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21). Not “agree with the older guy automatically.”

I’m simply sharing Scripture and my understanding of it. You’re free to do the same. We don’t have to cancel each other out to do that.

You may "think" and "believe"--but speak for yourself.

Stop lashing out with emotion about things you could not know about another person. Were you there with me, in me? Or is it that you just don't actually believe that God even works that way, even though you have read many give witness of it being so?

Scott, I’m not trying to judge your experiences — I’m just being honest about what I believe. And yes, you’re right: I don’t believe God is sending people today to declare themselves the Bride of Christ. The apostles are gone, and the Bride has already been gathered just like Scripture shows (Revelation 19:7; 2 Corinthians 11:2).

So from my perspective, God isn’t appointing new “bride‑messengers” in our time. God calls out to people in the ways He always has — through His word, through His Spirit, and even through the heavens themselves. “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky proclaims His handiwork” (Psalm 19:1). Creation still speaks, and people either respond or they don’t (Revelation 22:17; John 10:27).

I’m not denying that God works in people’s lives. I just don’t believe He’s working in the specific way you’re describing. That’s all I meant — nothing personal, nothing emotional, just my understanding of how God calls today.

God never changes. A plumbline is a plumbline, sometimes swinging with grace and sometimes not. But you know better than to say I have not shown you grace, I have, and plenty. But much of what I say, is not me speaking, and if it is a time to explain or not to explain, that is not my decision. But I would consider the possibility of God doing what he has always done coming within your hearing, even directly, as a real possibility; and that short answers are to be taken all the more serious, even as the time for talking is over.

So, do take all the time you like, test every spirit, etc., but it is not advisable for any of us to think or believe we can just believe what we want and never change without setting ourselves up for a rude awakening.

But, yeah, sure, have it your way.

That's not biblical either Matthew.

 

[MatthewG]

I have not shown you grace,

What do you mean by that? That's such a weird thing to say to me. Like I need your grace? It's so strange. Yes. I am a weird a person who believes Jesus came back and I dont have to be sealed, and I am not going to experience what those people in that day in age had to go through. Im free in the Lord Yeshua, and there is no condmenation concerning me believing that.

I am sorry you have a problem with people that say what they believe but they are able to do that and back it up with scripture if they want to.

I am going to have to do it my way until I get banned from the website. I haven't shared anything wrong to begin with... I share the bible and make statements, and people can either consider it or reject just like what you share.

That's not biblical either Matthew.

You are just strange to me man you just have nothing worth while to say towards me especially it seems.

People can say they care and they are concerned but that could also just be fake premise.


I dont trust people on the internet as it is.

I share the bible and its unbiblical.... Okay then... whatever Im fine being wrong and unbiblical.




Its like a bad parent hanging around just telling their child no no no your not hungry you gonna have to wait.

Matthew, you have just claimed not to have shared anything wrong--like no one (including myself) has ever called you on anything being biblically wrong. And what--you think it strange that I would say you act as if I have never shown you any grace? I have shown you a ton of grace--and even if I never said it nicely, confronting one who needs confronting on biblical matters, is grace also, perhaps the greatest kind. And I just told you you were correct about something huge...but here you are accusing me of "nothing worthwhile to say towards" you.

It would appear you are not even hearing yourself.

If it’s not personal to you then. Leave me alone out here on the open forum and stop telling me that I’m not sharing the Bible. You just fringin on being abusive and not helpful at all… you could have just said hey Matthew I don’t believe what your saying and I would say hey that’s okay I’m fine.

Just stop. You are someone I don’t want to associate with. Please ignore me leave me alone.

God doesn’t correct me concerning my faith in his Son and his return and gathering the bride.



People do or want that control. Heck with all that.

 

[Gray_Joy]

I don't know. That's why I'm asking

A seal in those times,and even today, indicates declarative ownership of a thing. Security and even was a method of assuring private communication. Example, a wax seals applied to a letter,using a stamp pressed into the hot wax,for instance,that bears the initials or family crest of the sender.

I think the passages that tells us we are sealed as believers with,by, holy spirit God is a literary evocation. It impressed upon students of the word to understand that meaning,as they recall seals used in contemporary human communications.

You are secure,safe,and property of God.

And,as Jesus stated, no one shall take you from his hand.

A contemporary exampl for that promise ,harkening back to the seal of holy spirit might be to picture a rolled up scroll. Imagine the impossibility of that scroll of its own free will breaking the embossed wax seal that holds it shut.
Can't happen.

Consider this. When God chooses of his divine free will to call us into his grace and seal us to the end time,he certainly knows what he's doing. And when he calls us, is able to keep eternally whom he calls.

Does that assist your understanding?

Sending personal messages, then sharing them publicly. Some may not like that, but I'm okay with it.

 

[MatthewG]

Okay well good. You’re someone that drives me mad and I hope you will do what God would want you to do and leave me the heck alone. Cause if you don’t then you’re just an abusive person who doesn’t care about boundaries and is insensitive to what’s going on cause you don’t care.

That worries me a lot… especially if people come to you for guidance… and you say no no you can’t think like that or you can’t say those things.
I just like sharing what I see from the Bible and hope people learn and think and ponder about what they been taught… I don’t want to control people.

There are people out there who are trying manipulating narratives and trying to take people over; to me. That’s so scary.

I had decided not to post all this said privately...but then you replied. Maybe it is you who should stop.

ScottA​ Much of what you say and advocate for is not correct. Many people do that--it's not personal to me. But if it is against the truth from God, it is personal to Him. Yeah I need you to leave me alone. You say well I guess this is what you get cause you follow God or whatever you do yourself I don’t care you’re someone I don’t need in my life… I don’t hate you but I don’t need you in my life. ScottA You only speak for half the equation. But what you apparently don't understand--is I nor God need to contend with you either. But for your sake, and His great mercy, we do. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MatthewG​ 15 minutes ago Whatever dude I wish you bug off

“I want you to bug off – I want you to leave me alone.” “I don't need you in my life” — those are truthful statements. Not everyone is meant to be in everyone’s life, and Scripture even shows moments where separation is the right choice. Jesus Himself said that sometimes you simply shake the dust off your feet and move on (Matthew 10:14).

Yes, that is the truth. And you ignored a boundary again. So honestly, good luck to you in life. We’ve done this same cycle so many times that there’s no reason for me to keep responding. It’s just wasted time — time we both could’ve saved if you had respected the boundary from the start.

This happens every time. I got pulled back in trying to explain a different perspective, and that’s on me for engaging. But if people can’t get along, the simple solution is to leave each other alone. Peace, dude.

If you want to respond, go ahead. But I feel like so much time has been wasted, and the only thing that ever comes back my way is “you’re wrong.” And honestly, I’m fine with being wrong. “Let each be fully convinced in his own mind” (Romans 14:5). Let me be.

God doesn’t force Himself on people, and I’m not going to force myself into arguments either. I don’t feel guilty, and I don’t need to apologize. There are a lot of beliefs out there — some true, some not — and everyone has to sort through them for themselves.

I’m choosing peace and distance. That’s all.
