Hi @Ziggy Hi also to @Backlit Since the HOLY SPIRIT is where ELOHIM or the plurality of God in the Heavens with ANGELS is represented, Could we agree to align the beliefs about connecting Michael with Jesus and God on the level of the HOLY SPIRIT where all humanity receives this spirit of...

Dear @kcnalp 1. The main peoplevI ran into teaching that "Michael is Jesus" are Jehovah Witnesses taught to interpret Jesus as the only one authorized to Judge or do battles (see attached explanation of where they get this and how they read the Bible) 2. I see JW as righteous gentiles honestly...

Abundance mentality is the opposite of Scarcity mentality. Abundance mentality teaches that by serving others and investing in people and relationships this generates rewards and benefits for everyone. Like it is more blessed to give than receive. But in business, what you give comes back to...

What I find truly gracious and miraculous on God's part is when these meanings when shared can open up doors to even greater. Making fishers of men meant growing the spiritual outreach. But when applied to Christian outreach of teaching abundance mentality by practice and examples, teaching...

Yes but the use of Parables are Metaphors. They are not literally about growing mustard bushes from seeds or moving physical mountains. Still universal truth but not limited to literal words, meanings or interpretations.

Dear @marks and @Wrangler Not either or, but all the above and more! The universality of God's Word expressed in the Bible is that it is all these things at once. Both historical and literal. And metaphorical with parables and true wisdom that can be applied in infinite diverse ways...

Dear @justbyfaith I would include John 10:29 with John 10:30 So it is clear God the Father is greater than all, and this does not contradict the Son and Father being one. Otherwise this confuses many fellow Christians who do not randomly interchange references to Jesus as the Son/Word of God...

The natural laws of governance given by God to the state are expressed in Constitutional laws. So the Scriptural laws are for following and rebuking between leaders and members as the Church body. And the Constitutional laws are for upholding rebuking and reforming govt and public policy...

Thank you for your constructive criticisms and comments @Mayflower and @Ziggy I just tried to post on Vocal the short story version of a script I am planning that is a more serious drama. It's about 2000 words, can I post that here? Right now it's on Vocal under Fiction and Short Story...

Thank you @theefaith I also believe the choice of the death penalty should be kept on the books as an option and as a bargaining tool to compel convicted offenders to negotiate and cooperate with authorities to disclose all information needed to resolve cases. That is why I believe the Catholic...

What about the Catholic practice and teaching of exorcism, deliverance and healing prayer as a method of curbing Criminal illness, addiction, abuse and violations? And the Catholic beliefs against the death penalty and abortion? If the liberal state allows taxpayers to fund executions and...

Agree again, @marks Well stated! What you said explains why people get divided in the first place. Attaching our own biased interests loses the universal message. You said it so well. Thank you! When this is done right, the ministry and message we share stays centered in Christ, while applying...

Absolutely @marks I think it HELPS to distinguish which motivation people have for wanting the solutions that come from Jesus. Some people paint the world as racism. Some say it's all economic disparity or class. But the solution to ALL these is the same. We can better focus on the meaning in...

Thanks @Ronald David Bruno Can you describe what you see happening with the fullness of the gentiles coming out near the end? I think it has to do with Jesus fulfilling the natural laws and uniting the secular followers. So we have both church unity and state unity coming together in Christ...

Sorry @Mayflower it was meant to be humorous not blasphemous by making light of the contradiction which would occur if God was not omniscient. It becomes ridiculous if man could outwit God by doing something that catches God by surprise. Of course we cannot. In this story, nominating God for...

Dear @Waiting on him You do not mix the judge of spiritual process with the judge of political process. The decision to forgive because the person agrees to receive forgivess is the spiritual process where asking is receiving. The decisions to deal with physical damages consequences and...

Dear @Enoch111 I have met and known many other secular nontheists who do not choose the way their brains think and process information. By God's grace we are able to communicate the same spirit of God's Universal Truth, even if our language remains separate. I know this is only Jesus Christ...

Dear @APAK I think your description of Jesus submitting to God describes what we do as the people of the church embracing God through Christ Jesus. Jesus is still greater than that because He as one with God's Will is Perfect. Our will is not. Jesus is still a higher spiritual level than...

The spiritual forgiveness of God does not require works for restitution because Grace is given freely for the asking. For wrongs committed against neighbors, by natural laws of man, restitution and forgiveness of debts have conditions that need to be met to earn back equal status. The person...

Wow what a wonderful and intelligent response. Your father was blessed to have you present in just the way he needed to hear it. I would love to read your book. Maybe between your approach and the way I finally understood what the Bible means, we could create a collection or series for others to...
