imo at least stay open to other interpretationsIt is written in scripture and so I believe.

implying that you know the truth lolNot sure how you ever going to come to the knowledge of the truth that way, brother, if you always leave yourself open to others interpretation.

ok
how is it you did not know that I was not talking about bread?
so prolly not wadr. that is what we would call a perspective or a belief, not an absolute truthWell, you cannot know that until you confer with Him in proving all things by the scripture, even what I share, okay?
Not like I am saying taking everything I say as gospel when I prophesy in part and know in part, but when I see the truth in His words and He confirms it to me, that is how I know the truth; no one else can know the truth until they confer with Him too.
Not sure how you ever going to come to the knowledge of the truth that way, brother, if you always leave yourself open to others interpretation.
And what if it is through others that God is seeking to give you more Light than you already have? What if you refuse to open the door when He is knocking?
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." Rev 3:20
he who says he knows does not yet know as he ought
so prolly not wadr. that is what we would call a perspective or a belief, not an absolute truth
and you can even verify this by making a statement of "truth," virtually amy statement, doesnt matter, and then finding a Scripture that refutes it
well thats a diff subject, but as i think ive already mentioned i do not use english translations at all any more, except as a check, so none of that is necessary.Since scripture cannot go against scripture, with all of those modern Bibles are not saying the same thing, then you can ask Him for help which Bible you need to rely on for the meat of His words.
sorry, no, it isnt, they arent, and Scripture apparently contradicts Scripture all the time, still,That is how the "lost books" of the Bible are not accepted as scripture when they have verses running contrary against scripture.
funny to me how Scripture is pretty plain that we cant see Yah and live, and if we even hear Yah Himself we feel like we're gonna die, right (you talk to us and we will listen...), but evabody wanna say Yah told em stuff lol;
no offense but satan appears as an angel of light so i am much more inclined to believe that that was satan, telling you to adhere to that fag royalty's whacked version, and ignore other writings, mostly bc that is unscriptural and i dont think Yah would ever say that to you
well thats a diff subject, but as i think ive already mentioned i do not use english translations at all any more, except as a check, so none of that is necessary.
To my point though, which you did not address, one can do it as easily with a kjv
How is it that you accept any scripture to even paraphrase if you doubt what is written overall?sorry, no, it isnt, they arent, and Scripture apparently contradicts Scripture all the time, still,
provide for your family
dont work for food
i could fill the page
wadr if you arent accepting any lost books of Writings that are Wuoted in Scripture then that is on you i guess, im not reading anywhere Scripture says "dont accept any lost books," and Paul even said All writings are beneficial for instruction, correction...etc see, it was just xlated into english by a dur, some fag king or whatever i guess, dont know, dont really care. I know the diff in graphe and gramme now, so no englyshe scrybe can fool me any more
which i kind hate saying bc i actually respect KJ, the man, but im pretty sure he would view all the "kjv only" crowd like "why would you rely on a single scribe?" too. Prolly would have even been reading it, back then, even if i still wouldnt have been worshipping Ishtar and doing fertility rites every Passover, i mean pls already
and while we're at it, "talents" always means "money," in Scripture, and has nothing to do with "natural abilities," at least until the RCC got done with it, as may be seen in the etymology of the word, which i guess "kjv only" ppl have no idea what etymologies even are, but there it is
There are in fact very many, but I take away an entirely different conclusion.Not exactly, i said because of the amount of passages that deny Christ's deity (eg; i can do nothing without the Father), the typical radical language of the Bible, the wisdom behind the true Gospel, so that even if there were 5 passages that said 'Jesus is God', i prudently & wisely, would be forced to give the passage a non-literal meaning.
Just like we do with 'born-again', with 'eat my flesh & drink my blood', to Moses, 'you will be a God to Pharaoh', God is a 'jealous God', Samson's parents 'seeing God and not dying' when it was just an angel. Exodus says God was the burning bush, Steven says it was an angel. Jesus says about the disciple that he loved, 'what if i want him to remain alive until I return'. John the baptist knew for sure who Jesus was because the Holy Spirit told him, later he sends his disciples to ask who he was.
Many strange passages, these are only a fraction and maybe not the best. You should get the idea.
Good question, I do not know exactly. I would think that, since God is Spirit, infinite and transcendent, that whatever they saw, was just a material manifestation of his power. Not an avatar, as if God's being was literally behind the avatar, but like the cloud of smoke and fire that directed the Israelites way during the Exodus.There are in fact very many, but I take away an entirely different conclusion.
The elders of Isreal ate dinner with God, they saw God.
Who did they see?
Exodus 24
9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: 10 and they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. 11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.
Much love!

There's a much simpler answer.Good question, I do not know exactly.

Just like Moses saw God's back, or Elijah saw God in the whisper. God does not have a back, and if he did, how big would it be, i.e. the size of the earth, Jupiter, the Milky Way, Orion, ...you get the point?
Whatever the elders of Israel saw, was so small and visible, that it clearly wasn't God, was it?
So, I really don't know, but what I do know, is that God is larger than the universe, and that he is not corporeal. Therefore, I would think that God just manipulated material matter in a supernatural way, that let those around him know that he was in their presence, that is, he was 'with them' and was acting in their favour.
Feel free to offer it....There's a much simpler answer.
