Oh--because I have the mind of Christ and the Helmet of Salvation and resist your nonsense? Think again.

All utter balderdash. I'm going to bed and will not come back to this thread in the A.M.

No--He plainly told His disciples that He hid the truths from unbelievers and revealed them to His followers. Matthew 13:11 is just one place where this is revealed in the gospels and there are others. But I am too tired to look them up for you tonight. I don't know where you get some of your...

Not at all--I count it as mostly rubbish. Hmm--"subconsciously"--another psychological term? One would think it is you who have the M.S. in Psychology. I defy you to find anything "psychological" in any of my posts. What makes you think that has not already taken place in me? I grow weary...

Have you been hanging around bbyrd too much? Cryptic comments are dumb.

The only thing is that you don't know what you are talking about. Go back and read that passage again. I won't give you book, chapter and verse, because you obviously know it--right? You have made a very tortured theology about something that is quite simple. But it is late and I'm going to...

Jeremiah 17:9---> "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"

I take my beliefs from the Bible. . A psychological term? Gee--does that mean that you have been listening to the "scholarly learned". (BTW--I wouldn't listen to psychologists, if I were you. I have a Masters in it and I had to "unlearn" a lot to be in conformity to the word of God. "Even...

Um--you don't understand the meaning of the theological term, obviously. Go look it up and get back to us.

One thing that I can tell you from a Canadian perspective (the U.S. is now an oil-exporting nation btw) is that the only reason why the U.S. imports oil from Canada is because they get it at bargain-basement prices. But the domestic market for Canadian oil is tiny compared to the supply, so...

I go to a house church and I have neither the desire nor the ability to preach. You might be missing out on what the Holy Spirit has told others. But, if that is what you want--who's trying to stop you? I said you should perhaps leave the FANATICISM aside. We are here to tell the world...

Not the same at all. Jesus chose parabolic language in order to hide truths from unbelievers. Dreams and visions are mostly even a mystery to the one who has them. Often, they only become clear much later.

And yet you beat the drum of your supposed infallibility every day? . But your thoughts are right up there with God's? Only you do not lean on your own understanding? And only YOU hear from the Holy Spirit?

Untrue. You need to read the OT again. There are many, many prophecies which are not predicated on obedience. (Which I have said to you at least a half-dozen times.) Yes, except for a remnant, they did. Yes, it was--but only temporarily and only the spiritual Kingdom. That is why Paul...

What makes you think that others don't have that same assurance or that they "lean on their own understanding"? Our main point of disagreement is that you seem to think you are some type of prophet and I know that the "essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus Christ"...

The Russians have been researching "abiotic" oil for some decades already and are fairly confident that the theory is true based on their experiments. They would have no reason to fake it because it would make their own oil less valuable if the supply is as unlimited as it appears. The main...

The proper way to read and study Scripture is to read whole chapters at a time and jot down notes about what you think every line means in context and then how it applies to your life. I have been a member of a house church where that is practiced and we have NO arguments about what we think it...

The Book of Revelation and the Book of Daniel contain a fair number of symbols. But it is clear from the stated context that they were contained in dreams and visions. Almost all of the other Scriptures are straight forward as they relate events.

What about calling the Jewish religious authorities "Sons of the devil"?

Yes--one hears, "Well, this symbolizes this" and "Oh, that symbolizes that..." And often one group of "spiritualizers" state things that are the exact opposite of what other "spiritualizers" say. Always best to follow the surface text and literally unless to do so produces an absurdity.
