    Mary found the tomb empty...where did Jesus body go?

    I couldn't tell you. I've never attended any pentecostal church regularly though I went with my former wife to a single service to hear a friend of hers sing or something like that. I don't know what denomination it was, but the congregation was predominantly African American, one gentleman was...

    Mary found the tomb empty...where did Jesus body go?

    Are you on the level? Do you hold to literal interpretation or "symbology"?

    Mary found the tomb empty...where did Jesus body go?

    Read the account of the transformation upon the mount again. It's called a vision and a vision doesn't have to be literal. I don't need you or anyone else to teach me, because God teaches me by His Holy Spirit, received through prayer in an employee parking lot in Jersey city, New Jersey. I'd...

    Mary found the tomb empty...where did Jesus body go?

    I made it a joke, but it was sad. I approached the man and spoke with him about his approach in the presence of his wife. His wife actually agreed with me, but he was wise in his own eyes and the remnant of his congregation was left without a place of worship or pastor. The good news is that...

    Who can speak to the text?

    No I've changed my mind. Job obviously possessed a time machine, went into the future, secured a Bible written in the ancient language of Moab, hopped back in his DeLorean and read the scriptures while he was driving so that he would have knowledge of what a saint is, and then spoke about...

    Mary found the tomb empty...where did Jesus body go?

    Assuming that scripture is using metaphor and simile because it isn't our experience is presumption based upon a carnal mind. If the Holy Spirit teaches you a truth about one of these "personifications" then it's reasonable to rest in that understanding. If you're reading poetic literature like...

    Mary found the tomb empty...where did Jesus body go?

    I don't know that wisdom isn't a person or at the very least a spirit. How does God give wisdom, or as I understand it, apply scripture to life, for the asking? This is a personal exchange, not the giving of an object, but a teaching. And for that matter, How does His Spirit teach, guide or...

    Mary found the tomb empty...where did Jesus body go?

    I haven't stepped into a Baptist congregation in about 5 years, but all the ones that still exist that I attended had members that carried Bibles and pastors that preached from scripture and taught its meaning. The one that closed its doors forever had a pastor that liked puppets and stories...

    Who can speak to the text?

    But job was not righteous under the law, because he transgressed it willfully or without knowledge of it, as apparently you lack as well. Can you tell me how Job transgressed the Law of Moses? I can give you direct passages, but demonstrate your great scholarship first.

    Mary found the tomb empty...where did Jesus body go?

    I think it's blasphemous to compare God to an object of idolatry or to consider the words of Jesus Christ as frivolous.

    Who can speak to the text?

    If you think that there are no fallen angels and disagree with the book of the Revelation your head is full of air. How would Job, a believer in El, not an Israelite or under the Law and without knowledge of the scriptures even know what a saint is?

    Are you tempted?

    Maybe, but I was in a service at a local Baptist church, the place where I was baptized as an adult, and the singing was so divine, that the man next to me was weeping and we felt a shaking like a vibration that had no source in the structure. It was on the anniversary of Pentecost.

    Who can speak to the text?

    Why would I acknowledge a lie and a misinterpretation of scripture? Who do you believe Lucifer is? It's a simple question with a simple answer, yet you obfuscate and expect me to approve a poor interpretation of the word. That's never going to happen. Job lived in Uz, in the land of Moab...

    Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated

    You're not the first to have these ideas and in studying the entire Bible, I've seen the scriptural origins of most of the cults that use scripture. Some people get so decieved as to believe that Jesus is Lucifer. They're called Luciferians and their doctrine is demonic. Likewise there are those...

    Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated

    For I do not want you, brothers and sisters, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; Romans 11:25 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable...

    Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated

    So love detests people. I pity you and will pray for your salvation.

    Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated

    Or you've deluded yourself, believed lies, and attacked God's saints for speaking truth. Good luck with that.

    Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated

    Exactly what I said, the older shall serve the younger, even as Christ serves us as our Savior, Redeemer, Teacher, and friend. 10 For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect...

    Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated

    Esau became the nation of Edom and Edom becomes a symbol of those who suffer God's wrath. King Herod was Idumean (a descendant of Edom) and an example of godlessness. However, that verse you quoted, " "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated" is actually used in context to explain God's election as its...
