Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

THIS IS WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO POST AN ENTIRE REPLY.

this is why it's important to speak clearly, and not be saying "go to" some guys, when you mean "read in the Book" maybe.

Almost everyone here refuses to do this.
Incredible.

because the software works great, if you work it, and it is you that is the holdout here wadr

 

[bbyrd009]

I WAS SPEAKING ABOUT THE APOSTLES.

that is not how it is going to be read because of the slangy way you chose to put it, but this happens on forums, no biggie. So now we know

 

[bbyrd009]

I ask because I'm all lessoned out on persons who don't care.

yes, i imagine being a lawyer is pretty exhausting lol

 

[bbyrd009]

Which is pretty much what I'VE experienced here and it's not very pleasant.

ok well i apologize there, you were asking questions like a new recruit, and i assumed they were sincere at the time, iow you were asking because you did not know, or were seeking, and i'm pretty sure @pia has a similar experience. If you just want to preach, don't act like a noob

 

[bbyrd009]

Family is sacred to both Jesus and all the early Christians.

then why are we told to hate our family?

 

[bbyrd009]

You're their father and you're with them.

ah, not kids, sorry, i have no children

Today's lamented modern ways
Will be tomorrow's good ole' days.

ha nice

With knowledge comes a big ego and with the knowledge you can choose to use it by proving others wrong but no one really cares what you know, except you.

This is not addressed to anyone in particular.

 

[GodsGrace]

ha funny you mention that, as His own family sought to have Him committed lol

You like to speak in little sentences.
Can't we have a real conversation??

Anyone who THINKS he might be the Messiah or God, would be considered mad even today, and even back then.

 

[GodsGrace]

hate yourself
ah, you would have to quote the passage for this for me to reply there i guess

You're kidding, I'm sure!
Mathew 22:37-39
Mathew 22:39

I'll bet you knew that!

How could I love anyone else if I don't love myself?
How could I love myself if I don't love God?

 

[GodsGrace]

the eye is the lamp of the body

Did they see the light or the dark?
Which master do YOU serve?

 

[GodsGrace]

that's what i thought too, your syntax encouraged that pov i guess. No biggie

No. It IS a biggie since I don't follow any man but follow only Jesus.
If the man agrees with Jesus, fine.
If the man does not agree with what Jesus said, I will fight him all the way.

You and I are not the only ones reading our conversation.

There are invisible persons reading along that SHOULD BE CONSIDERED.
I know how to work software really well. Have been working with it (on DOS too) since 1989. Sounds like a song.

There are OTHER considerations.
I like to be considerate to everyone.

What it costs to push the REPLY button I do not understand.
It must be very expensive.

 

[GodsGrace]

that is not how it is going to be read because of the slangy way you chose to put it, but this happens on forums, no biggie. So now we know

Am I, like, too modern for ya?
I'm understood really well other places.

And please don't tell me to go there.
Thanks.

 

[GodsGrace]

yes, i imagine being a lawyer is pretty exhausting lol

Maybe not a LAWYER...
Anyway, persons here are much too concerned with me instead of what I have to say.

 

[GodsGrace]

ok well i apologize there, you were asking questions like a new recruit, and i assumed they were sincere at the time, iow you were asking because you did not know, or were seeking, and i'm pretty sure @pia has a similar experience. If you just want to preach, don't act like a noob

1. What's a noob?
2. I don't like to preach.
3. I use questions to further the conversation.
4. I'm not a newbie. Far from it...


P.S.
If I DID NOT KNOW SOMETHING, I certainly would not ask on a forum where everyone has A DIFFERENT OPINION.

 

[GodsGrace]

then why are we told to hate our family?

I already told you.
Yes. TOLD YOU.

If we do not love God FIRST
we cannot love ourselves or anyone else.
I mean REAL love.
Agape love.
I'll bet you know what that is.

So why is it a mystery to you?
Why do you pretend not to understand?

 

[GodsGrace]

Avoid me and make your life happier.

So, what are you saying? You don't understand the Book because God has not given you the same kind of inspiration?

Stranger

My friend, once a person has received the gift of the Holy Ghost, the inspiration is there. Some people read the Bible and understand things without realizing it is God talking to their heart by the Holy Ghost that has given them any real understanding at all:

What power is it that the Holy Ghost gives to us?

"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Acts 1:8

To be witnesses? How can we be witnesses? By the power of God through the Holy Ghost.

You use the word, inspiration, as if it was some special revelation and it certainly is... to the person to whom God is making the revelation. Every person who had been drawn to God has received a revelation, an inspiration, but the end is not yet.

Some people or groups [this means churches as men call them] may believe that they have got all that God has to say through the scriptures already down pat in their heart.
But they do not.
God is unlimited.
He has given people a portion, but that does not have to be the end. It is only the end if we have stopped moving spiritually. If we have then eventually we will die.

To stand still indefinitely is to stagnate. God's people who are to live forever with Him are not stagnate, but Alive!

 

[lforrest]

When Jesus tought me from the Bible it was never more clear to me. Then over the years I would learn some new interpretation, and inevitably the new interpretation would be proven wrong and back I went to my original understanding.

I never had a firm grasp of revelation though, but if it is important for me to know I'm sure Jesus will teach me. Same for anything else where my understanding is lacking.

 

[bbyrd009]

sorry I'm not with you there, all I saw was 'bbyrd' saying that he apologized to you and you then stated that it meant nothing to you.

ya, i guess i gave the Stranger a rockin' case of the Cognitive Dissonance back a few months ago lol; oil and water don't mix!
