Tha Thanks for your thoughts but for me I am putting my focus on getting to know the Creators, Who are Spirit, of being guided by this Spirit. The writings and teachings of the bible were very beneficial for a time but for me tht season is over. I am enjoying being taught, not by the...

Do you think this is what Paul was referring to when he said that a strong delusion would come, that they should believe a lie?

Isn't this the issue faced by Christianity. Division. With over 45,000 denominations Christianity is probably more an advertisement for division than unity. The greatest tool used to cause and maintain division by far is a book, the bible. Why is this the case?

Thanks for your question Joe. I read your post. I'll get back to you if the Spirit sheds more light to me on this.

Personally I don't have a problem with the bible. I do not read it myself or use it as my instruction book anymore. When interacting with Christians I may reference it for the purpose of speaking the Christian language. I appreciate the growth within myself and others who are enjoying life...

From G3984; to test (objectively), that is, endeavor, scrutinize, entice, discipline: - assay, examine, go about, prove, tempt (-er), try. So are you interpreting what the Spirit of God did was good or not? Is the Spirit of God and the Father in unity with Each other? I'm a little confused by...

Strong's number: 3985 to test, tempt; to try to trap; to examine (oneself) So Satan set a trap in the wilderness for Jesus, to TEMPT Him so He would hopefully fail the TEST which God's Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness to hopefully pass. Is this how you interpret this account?

No, nothing about that. Maybe I'll ask Them about it.

Yes, I would've definitely said the same as you up until 2 years ago. But once you've seen something amazing, you can't unsee it. You're welcome

Yes

Why?

God Himself is sometimes behind deception coming from His presence into this world of ours. In fact He has been known to authorise deception. Now that's one that caught me by surprise. But anyway you probably knew that. Just that I can be a bit slow sometimes.

Thanks for you perspective. When writing the post I first put 'will' then change it to 'has'. I was looking from the future looking back. You are correct, looking from the present looking forward, Christ's blood will. And again, the greatest part to me is the restoration, redemption...

I'm not sure if I could have put that better. And the icing on the cake.... 'we know that Christ will save all mankind before the ages come to an end.' The blood of the sacrificial Lamb of God has removed all sin of ALL mankind. And there is more. Creatures in ALL creations will experience...

Thanks for the summary of what one can read in more detail in the book of Revelation. Yet what happens after this brief period (around 7000 years) of human existence?

Isn't it great to know that the Creators can do whatever They want with Their very own creations, and They are, according to Their script. Knowing this gives me deep peace when being tested by Them and when encountering temptations of various kinds. For whether I endure or fail them, I am...

Good one! And it is comforting to know that our Father can deliver us from the evil of the evil one.

Sure. If that's what the Spirit has revealed to you then what can I say. Maybe, amen. And hope Father doesn't lead you into temptation, to be tempted by the devil.

Again, God communicates one thing to me which is fantastic news. To you it is not. I'm so glad I have no responsibility whatsoever how you respond to God. I love the story of Noah, the ark and the animals that boarded the ark. It seems that God saw to it that only a certain number of every kind...
