Good passage to remember...the Bible says the whole world is under the sway of the evil one ( 1John 5:19-21 )
I guess that is where we differ. My faith is built on facts.The fact is as I see it, we should not be living by facts but by faith. Our faith may be somewhat misplaced at times, but if we are looking to Him will He not give us hand?
Amen!I guess that is where we differ. My faith is built on facts.
The facts found in God's Word.
The fact that God spoke creation into existence.
The fact of 100's of fulfilled prophecies.
The fact that God cannot lie.
The fact of the Virgin birth.
The fact that we are all born in sin and need saving from our sin.
The fact that there is an eternal hell.
The fact that Jesus is God in the flesh.
The fact that He lived a life fulfilling all the demands of the law in my stead.
The fact that He died for mankind's sins.
The fact that He rose from the dead on the third day.
The fact that He offers forgiveness and eternal life to all who call upon Him.
The fact that He bestows true life to as many as receive Him.
The fact that He is coming again to judge the world. etc.
No, this is not a privatized faith, where truth is as how you see fit, but God has revealed Himself in absolute terms and facts.
without the facts of God's Word you run the risk of calling upon another jesus, an existential jesus of your own choosing.
:) orThat sounds good but , it looks more like you want to just argue to me, which is why I stopped engaging with you.

I have never seen any Christian, type of the new age skin heads, have you ? not to mention what they are carrying on about claiming to be Nazis is a joke, they are just a bunch of morons who know bugger all and are just another bunch of socialist thugs, just like any other socialist are but just stupider.Yeah,no kidding, that will be the day declaring himself "a true Jew" in front of a mob of Anti-semitic Nazi skin-heads--and as we see below in his response, that will also be the day when Dave L. actually responds to our posts without just completely ignoring them and SAYING something COMPLETELY UNRELATED instead Lol! As in his response to your above comment I put down below where he simply IGNORED you.
I'd also like to see the likes of Dave L. go up to some ISIS Jihadis and tell them he is the real Jew- the real Israel! ya - not going to happen.:cool:

The people who created ISIS are Talmud controlled for their own ends, ISIS has never went out of their way and attacked the Jews, have they ? it look like ISIS is a Talmud creation.
We live for God by faith, not by knowledge, at least not a lot of knowledge initially that we can easily and definitely separate from our erroneous beliefs.
Jesus often said, "IT IS WRITTEN", but to you that is a dead carcass?Amadeus said: The dead carcass if quickened in us then for us in that measure becomes the Word of God in us. The Book with the Spirit is dead and the Word of God is NOT dead.
Oh man why do I bother?.....You really need to read more carefully and have obviously have no clue what at all I was referencing or what you are talking about.I have never seen any Christian, type of the new age skin heads, have you ? not to mention what they are carrying on about claiming to be Nazis is a joke, they are just a bunch of morons who know bugger all and are just another bunch of socialist thugs, just like any other socialist are but just stupider.

Hope you realize I never said neo nazis were christian, the commenter was completely out in left field, like he didn't even read my post.I agree the neo-Nazis are not Christians.
But the Jews created Isis? What have you been sniffing and smoking?
What it is in fact is, that the majority are not Born Again, so you have the powers of Satan at hand as such.Well actually, Who is it that controls ALL the world according to the scriptures? the Bible says the whole world is under the sway of the evil one ( 1John 5:19-21 ) You should try to read the Bible sometime without all your own pet beliefs & preconceptions , that way perhaps God can truly open your eyes, and teach you something & replace that stony heart.
Any other ethnic groups that you want to target for being under the control of Satan? or only the Jews? that is revealing. Would you speak that same way against Any other group of people? - hardly, you wouldn't risk being called a bigot and a Racist or accused of hate-speech.
The Anti-Zionist Movement & the Anti-Jew ideology, That, is what is Satan inspired, so obvious when reading the scriptures straightforwardly, literally within the context as meant, we see God's Eternal Promises for the Jews, for the Nation of Israel.
The Anti-Semitism that is politically attempting to gain more ground today, is Satan inspired, so you are a member of a big 'Let's hate the Jews' club in the world , the only ethnic group that it's acceptable to collectively attack are the Jews--and God is not behind this hate--> Satan is.
As for your beliefs & attitude towards the Jewish people, you are blinded. So many in Germany & Europe held that same belief system pre WWII, as disgracefully, so many within Christiandom today, & given the same opportunity, no doubt would have aided/ been complicit with the Third Reich in carrying out the genocidal Holocaust of rounding up & murdering 6 million Jews.
That historic horrendously Evil act was Truly devised by those doing the bidding of SATAN, who rages against God's people inspiring his hatred through human agents, who hates God's Plan for the Jews because the Son of God who came from the lineage of the Jews is going to redeem a remnant of God's people for Himself. The born again believers through Christ, know the natural olive branches were only temporarilly cut off (as Paul told us in Romans 11 )so Gentiles could be brought into the Kingdom of heaven, & we know of God's steadfast faithfulness & that His Word never changes Nor HIS Promises to the seed of Abraham (Jeremiah31) that it remains as long as the Sun & the moon , & we know God's Plan & Purpose for the bride of Christ, and we know God's plan to redeem a remnant of Nation of Israel because the Bible tells us so.
Romans 11:25-27 "I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved; as it is written: "The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will turn ungodliness away from Jacob. And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins."
Sadly for you but the devil is in the detail just because you are ignorant does not excuse you.Oh man why do I bother?.....You really need to read more carefully and have obviously have no clue what at all I was referencing or what you are talking about.
I never said a that skin heads were christian. I'm sure even explaining it , you won't get it.
& your comment about Isis being controlled by Jews shows complete ignorance or utter stupidity.
Amen!Romans 10:17 NKJV
[17] So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
You said that we differed and I was agreeing and trying explain the differences that I saw. I guess I did not communicate.You know, you lost me. I'm not sure why you felt compelled to respond to my post in the first place.
Jesus was dead on the cross, a dead carcass, until he resurrected! The Book of scriptures is like Jesus dead on the cross prior to His resurrection.Jesus often said, "IT IS WRITTEN", but to you that is a dead carcass?
I will reply to your garbage of you claiming that my beliefs and attitude towards the Jewish people etc dribble, is not the case at all.Well actually, Who is it that controls ALL the world according to the scriptures? the Bible says the whole world is under the sway of the evil one ( 1John 5:19-21 ) You should try to read the Bible sometime without all your own pet beliefs & preconceptions , that way perhaps God can truly open your eyes, and teach you something & replace that stony heart.

Yes, the Holy Spirit is essential in enlightening our undertanding to His Word...even His written Word. You cannot ivorce the written Word from the Holy Spirit, after all He is it's Author.Jesus was dead on the cross, a dead carcass, until he resurrected! The Book of scriptures is like Jesus dead on the cross prior to His resurrection.
"Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life." II Cor 3:5-6
Without the Holy Spirit quickening them the scriptures that we read are dead within us.
Believers who read the Bible without walking in the Spirit as they do so get nothing "good" from it.Yes, the Holy Spirit is essential in enlightening our undertanding to His Word...even His written Word. You cannot ivorce the written Word from the Holy Spirit, after all He is it's Author.
The interpretation you use for II Cor 3 is an old one and may also contain truth, but I would discard the other out of hand. You say the one I presented is a misinterpretation, but you know that how? Because some well studied theologians said it or because God spoke to your heart.That verse in 2Cor 3 which you misinterpreted is actually comparing the ministration of the Gospel with that of the Mosaic Law. It actually goes hand in hand with …
John 1:16-17 (KJV) And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Close to blasphemy? The Bible on a shelf that no one ever opens never saves anyone. It is effectively dead until some person partakes of it and Holy Spirit opens it up... that is quickens it [brings it to Life] within the person. In a nation which must have many millions of written Bibles why is it that such a small number regularly open one of them every day and partake of it?It comes close to blasphemy to say "the Book of Scriptures is like Jesus dead on the cross".
Don't you realize many martyrs were burned at the stake in translating and defending God's Word (a dead carcass as you call it) by a Religion that attempted to keep the Bible untranslated so only their priests could handle it? I am glad for those translators without whose work we would be wound up in deep superstitions and fears, chanting in monasteries or paying indulgences to getting our loved ones less time in purgatory. His Word sets us free from such nonsense, especially the nonsense about His written Word being a dead corpse.
You are simply a just a Conspiracy theory lover and a Jew hater - anti-semite. Your views are appalling & don't reflect scripture or biblical Christianity. May God show you mercy & remove your blindness & hatred. Don't bother responding reggie, I find your unChristian opinions more vile and loathsome every time you post of your hatred for Jews. This is exactly what was done in Germany prior to WW2 dehumanize, characterize the Jews as evil and it lead to genocide & gas chambers.Sadly.

I have to chuckle when people use Scripture in their attempt to downplay Scripture. Rome is famous for that.Believers who read the Bible without walking in the Spirit as they do so get nothing "good" from it.

My beliefs are really mine. I have of course heard things from many preachers over the years... taking some on and setting some aside, but where I am is where God has led me as I followed. I have certainly taken a wrong turn here and there along the way... sometimes badly... But I really believe that the only real increases in the things of God come from God. I check myself daily during my prayer and Bible reading time by always letting myself return to the lowest room setting aside every previously held belief and doctrine and then allowing God to elevate me again as He sees fit. Of course, He is not finished with me yet.

People are more faithful to take the dead meat of a cow and consume until it comes to carnal as part of his own body of flesh. People will do that every day without fail and sometimes several times a day. And you speak of blasphemy when many of those same people who would not miss a meal of such the dead natural meat sit on a pew every week for an hour or so and never HEAR the Word of God.
And Jesus spoke to people in parables and most of his hearers did not understand what He was saying. The martyrs of whom you speak walked in the Spirit so the Book to them was not dead because what they read was quickened within them by the Holy Spirit.
Just possessing a Bible won't help us at all if we never read it with understanding. The understanding comes from God even as the inspiration for the writers who wrote it came from God. Why was it that Jesus spoke in parables?
"And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand." Matt 13:10-13
The interpreter of the parables for those who walked close to Him 2000 years was Jesus. Now the interpreter for us is the Holy Spirit and without the Holy Spirit what should people be doing?
"But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God." I Cor 14:28
That means, without the Holy Spirit, we should keep our mouths closed:
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:" Ecc 3:1
"... a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;" Ecc 3:7
Chuckle away! But consider what I wrote and what the scripture says and what God means. Because they too often quench the Holy Spirit people assume and presume that their doctrine is correct and everyone else's doing the same thing is wrong. What Solomon wrote 3000 years ago still applies today.I have to chuckle when people use Scripture in their attempt to downplay Scripture. Rome is famous for that.
