i agree with you king. just wanted to add my own thoughts to this. many like you mention in todays world that spend most their lives wanting to be rich, wanting possessions and full of greed are beginning to realize that it only leads to wanting more of it and there is no fulfillment. until one...

i would respect and listen to a poor man long before a rich man. how much wealth and possessions did Jesus and His disciples have, many times they relied on the hospitality of others for food and lodging. did prophets like Samuel have lavish homes and sleep on beds of fine linens, rather he...

yes i am an outside the box thinker, the biggest problem is it gets me in trouble and most the time i wish i could crawl back in the box. if our Lord didnt create evil then where did it come from? there had to be some force that sparked it into existence. as far as the details of how these...

im very sorry Deborah. i did not mean to direct anything at you or anyone here. i think our church in general has lost a lot from when Jesus and the 12 started it. the Christians i was referring to probably wouldnt be here. you and i and im sure everyone else here are here because they we want...

1. i dont believe in aliens but lets say i do or we both do. wouldnt you want to know how these things incorporate with our Lords will? i would. i enjoy finding connections with science, mysteries etc with our bible. 2 / 3. IMO spirituality is what is missing from many in todays church. not...

i dont revere it and im not claiming its the one true path or anything like that. i am only repeating things i have read. i thought it was curious. lets say it is like you say, nothing more than a gland that makes a sleep hormone. why would ancient cultures consider it part of their belief...

let me say that i am the worst when creating titles for post. i dont put much thought in them cause im thinking of the question / discussion thats following. i dont think we are missing out on anything outside our bible. but i think the answer to all things are in the bible. let me pick one...

another example Judges 9:23 Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech: KJV, GNV agree NIV is a bit different (stirred up animosity ) but most the other versions say it was sent from the Lord. just making a...

it actually makes perfect sense the way the scriptures read. it is only senseless when you try and explain it. i have studied the bible my whole adult life, the point i was making is that its a subject that i am passionate about, not that i know more than the next person and i tried to make it...

so from the Lord means it did not come from the Lord? it was from the Lord but directed by someone else? this makes no sense. i have not been here long, im still getting to know people. but most all your post you have insulted me, been rude and talked to me like i was a foolish child. i dont...

i never claim to be a final authority or expert. but i do know how to read and i have common sense. "sent of the Lord" - where i come from this means it came from the Lord. i think you need to hop down from way up there, stop insulting people, stop telling people they are wrong when other...

1 Samuel 16:14-23(GNV) 14 But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit sent of the Lord, vexed him.

your correct this is self understanding. i dont think the answers are there and not in the bible. just a curiosity. but these things are connected to spiritual beliefs in their cultures and thus the connection.

does Jesus not say the Almighty is spirit and we should worship Him in spirit and truth. and i agree there are demonic things out there. but the bible tells us over and over when we seek the Lord we will find Him. i dont believe our Lord sends lying spirits out to those that are seeking...

the Essene traditions teach the Father is male but male means spiritual form and not "male / female" as we know it. i thought it was pretty interesting

i think the Holy Spirit is the power of the Father. when Jesus did miracles He always said it wasnt Him but the power of the Father. when they accused Jesus of doing these things by the power of evil He told them not to blasphemy the Holy Spirit.

does anyone think pauls message "grace and only grace" may have been different than the "grace plus works" because it may have been directed to the nations and not the Jews. he was the apostle to the gentiles was he not. just a thought

`i believe it was a covenant because the Almighty said it was. the fact there were no conditions does not change that fact. from my perspective i am having no trouble (gen 9). i believe what the Lord said. i pointed out a hyperbole /metaphor with the amortites and ceder trees

yes i have read it, enoch 1 anyway, im not to sure about the other enoch books. i like most all the books connected with the Essenes and dead sea scrolls. what i said was not meant to be an attack on our bible but an attack on the ones that decide on how its presented. such as those councils...

john 14 17 17 Even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him: for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you
