The Mind of Christ:
The reason I am disagreeable is because I disagree.
Where did I contradict my own post?
There is a mind of Christ which is a open mind, a progressive mind ( a mind that is always seeking asking and knocking). That mind is light a child in that it is open and hungry to sup with our Lord not a childish religous mind seeking to spin all understanding as they have been previously taught.
How hungry are you for God; how deep do you dare to probe, where your limits of God is in what you perceive who He is.
I read an article a while back from a man I respect as and believe anointed of God in many way. This man spoke of a dream he had where he was sitting at a table full of spiritual food, across the table was Jesus. They just sat there eating all this food which was right in front of them. As they sat there the man sup with Jesus, he noticed Billy Graham come to the table get a plate full of spiritual food, and he left. This happened over and over as he noticed many well known deep men of God eat from this table and then leave.
He then asks Jesus why they leaved after so little when there was so much to eat. Jesus replied to Him, they were satisfied.
I had an experience happen to me where for a time I feasted and feasted on some deep anointed literature; let me tell you something; I am satisfied; sure I want more.
'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 sup with HIM and he with ME.' The church of the last days is the church of the INDIVIDUAL. It is the individual believer with a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP to Christ. For the man who will forsake ALL ELSE and sup with Christ this is an age of glory, an hour of preparation such as we have never known. This is a time when the Spirit of God is speaking TO YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL. He seeks to sup and dine and feast with you apart from all the religious confusion about us. It is a glorious day when we see the promise that is ours in this hour"
The religious Mind:
Then we have the religious mind, which is far closer to carnal them spiritual; this mind is not open unless you agree with their preconceived idealism, being it Catholic, Pentecostal, JW and or Baptist this mind has the mind of 'what ever' agenda listed above or one of the twenty thousand sisters of Babylon, it is a closed mind and bias. They say they are following Christ (which means anointing) but in reality all they know is their preconceived bias.
God’s Word is like a river that flows and not a stagnet broken cistern.
Ezekiel 47: 4Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.
5Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
How deep is your river; up to your ankles or knees; or is it so deep and mighty all you can do is float as if flows and gets deep and wider continually.
I cannot and will not fit God’s Word in a man made box; it is like a river that flows and gets deeper and deeper; in fact so deep at times you cannot no longer stand; that is where faith comes in.
Jeremiah 2:13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
I look around at the vast majority of God’s people who remind me more of Lawyers defending the law according to the way they have been taught no matter how evil the law is. There is no room in their religious brain to dig deeper, or explore the most awesome book ever written; words like “new” scare them.
Broken Cisterns is all they have; Jeremiah had it totally right. To look beyond those man made principles is so contrary to established creeds and doctrine; they are just like the Catholic Church in the Dark Ages. Luther was a man who was called of God; Luther was not perfect; but Luther did something most Christians refuse to do; hear God and walk with the principles God had given Him. Lutherans today hear Luther and walk with the principle Luther taught them, and do not comprehend God’s Spirit has moved beyond Luther and his dead creed and dogmas. The Bible is not a law Book; but a living moving book that goes beyond the principles man made established icons.

From Benoni:
God has given us minds but far too many of us have a religious mind a carnal mind and reject the deep things of God’s Word for they are spiritual. So what you are saying is
Ps. 90: 1-2 and
Romans 8:20 is lying and I should believe your opinion? I disagree with your assumption. I agree God instructed Adam and Eve not to eat of the forbidden tree but it was not their choice it was God who ordained the fall.
From Benoni:
Four things men follow other then Christ: Colossians 2:[sup]8[/sup] See ye that no man deceive you by philosophy and vain fallacy, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ. Philosophy, vain fallacy, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, The name of God denotes the majesty the authority, the personality and the revealed character of God. In ever temple there is a god or and unseen god to which the temple is dedicated. God has given us a mind that must discover things for our selves. This goes even further when we understand that He is changing our mind from glory to glory so we can not just understand His Word; but that we understand what He is saying.
Why are you so disagreeable may I ask? You contradict your own posts and go off on a tangent even when someone finds a tiny shred of truth in your incorrect "dividing" of the word of God.
