You jumped in to impose your own limit on "higher spiritual meaning", and have been defending that position ever since. And it's not the first time you have taken such a position. And you make it personal. Meanwhile, I have stated my own position--which is not to have a position, but to declare...

The beasts are the workings of Satan. The final manifestation of the beast--is the [international] Deep State.

I would agree--but your version of "the plain inspired Word of God" is simply according to your own understanding. But you do not stop there, you also accuse me of contradicting the inspired Word of God--calling what God has biblically appointed to me, "demonic"--again, based on your own...

The real issue...is the harm that comes from making claims or presuming to teach one's own private interpretations of scripture as if they are fact, just because you believe them to be. That is the making of false doctrines.

You assume the best for yourself and the worst for me, not because you understand nor have any actual reason to, but because you do not know or acknowledge the biblical finish appointed by God, but imagine all is according to your own understanding. And what guiding has He promised those who do...

The point is...we of lower understanding than God, have no business claiming our beliefs and understanding is the higher knowledge of God and the truth.

The issue that I had hoped to pointout, is that no one should be making claims about biblical matter based on any personal belief or conclusion. The truth does not come from us, but to us. Which of course is fine for us to share...if it is something God did, rather than us. But that is a...

Good, now we know that you have chosen your own understanding of what is written over He who inspired it, who is spirit and not subject to misinterpretation. Thanks for weighing in! Anyone else? Next!

It's a busy time to go into detail--but short answer is: The world is not what it seems. It is the manifestation of all that was before the world began ("before the foundation of the world")--complete with special effects, like the sun, moon and stars as signs showing the tragedy of all that...

First--I am not advocating for private interpretation--just the opposite. But your post is full of errors. What you said about "every teacher...pastor" etc...being "silent" is from the scriptures--but just the opposite--and you apparently are unaware and didn't make the connection. And, no...

Your idea of how this all works, is not biblical. All knowledge is not given to those sent, but is rather given like the spiritual gifts: to "some" one thing, and to another something else. You should know this. As for what I have and do claim, I claim only that part that is given to me--which...

But you are indeed taking things upon yourself, if you are interpreting or basing things on your own understanding. Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with what you said. Which was and is the reason for this thread: If your beliefs are based on your own understanding, it is likely wrong.

rvmb has hooked you in. He deserves getting your question, but the thread was not intended for Bible trivia as he has tried to turn it into.

No, you turning the thread for your own purpose with quiz questions, without offering a reason, and being a jerk about, has not shown anything but your childlike response. Now--make a point about the thread topic, stop disrupting the topic...or be reported.

Other than showing your condescending character, what is your point--is that your answer to the thread's Title question? If so, why all the hoopla and making your own question so important?

That is correct, and yet symbols with meaning only rightfully discerned by the same Spirit are God's doing, intentional. Why would anyone (like yourself) take it upon themself to dictate for God and say what is and isn't true based on their own understanding? To do so--that is what is demonic...

No, that's not what I said, you might read it again. The point is, many DO NOT qualify what they say, but state opinions and what they think, believe, or what is merely there own private interpretation as fact.

No. Paul was at the beginning of the times of the gentiles, I am at the finish. Satan would love it-- perhaps you too--if we all went back 2,000 years to the beginning, and if I didn't fulfill what I was sent to do, but give him a little more time.

All of them...but what is your game that you think to quiz me? It's not a game--that is not the issue of this thread. The issue...is that since Pentecost--since the fulfillment of Joel's prophecy of God pouring out His spirit upon all flesh--many within the church assume that what they think...

You speak of "license to come up with altered meanings of what was written", but what of those who God has not only given license, but commanded them even against what men have thought to be true--what of God and His inspiration--of God who did not stop with what is written as many people do...
