    what makes a prophet?

    Not really, it may be impossible to prove them. I think we can disprove a prophet with far less difficulty. But disproving them is not easy in my experience.

    Hi everybody. Newb here!

    Welcome Nancy! I'm surprised your name wasn't taken.

    what makes a prophet?

    This reminds me of the scripture Revelations 13:5. While this speaks of the antichrist, or his kingdom, it reveals something about the spirit of the antichrist which is already in this world. A soft test I apply to any teaching is, who does this glorify? More often than not a new teaching...

    'Blood of Jesus'

    The blood of Jesus is orthodox, the teaching that it was not shed is unorthodox.

    what makes a prophet?

    The latter can be hard to prove. Prophecies are usually not clear cut, and the timing of their fulfilment may take a undetermined amount of time. Often a prophet will speak of spiritual things, impossible to prove. They will also tell you what comes into their mind, requiring interpretation...

    Moving this to the unorthodox section.

    'Blood of Jesus'

    Animal skins point to a sacrifice, through he doesn't draw attention to it. The purpose of which was to cover up their nakedness. It was a caring gesture on behalf of God. Most commentators agree it has something to do with Jesus. Genesis 3:21 Commentaries: The LORD God made garments of skin...

    'Blood of Jesus'

    21He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand? 22For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. 23If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.”

    'Blood of Jesus'

    The animal sacifice and purification rituals with it point to Christ. Though they didn't know it at the time. Jesus fulfilled the law by his sacrifice. The wolfs would like us to stray from the shepherd's reach.

    'Blood of Jesus'

    The Nehushtan was a foreshadowing of Christ, just as were the garments God gave to Adam and Eve. Do you go around naked? Nvm forget I asked. Jesus sacrifice is necessary, regardless of what is desired. Hebrews 9:22

    California gets goahead to seek secession

    Heres an idea, let western California take part of the national debt with them. Then when they declare bankruptcy their part of the debt will be absolved.

    'Blood of Jesus'

    And what is that agenda, because a teaching that denies Jesus shed his blood sounds like a snare trap from the pits of hell.

    'Blood of Jesus'

    The pierce wound aside, Jesus still bled even when nails were put through his hands and feet, and the crown of thorns stuck on his head. And also the flogging, would have caused stripes. It would be unusual had he not bled, and that would be noted in the gospels.

    May the Lord hide you from the conspiracy of the wicked and plots of the evil doers.

    I do not believe such a technology exists to read minds. They are able to tap into basic signals via nerve endings, but only in the most basic way as to cause a feeling in one part of the body. Complex signals that would be required to transmit thought are beyond us. Maybe you're just wired...

    Who changed the ending

    God being outside can 'tune' the contents of the timeless reality. Though to us inside we wouldn't know we were sent on a different path, and may think where we are is an inevitable fact. How I picture it is with the pruning of a bonsai tree compressed into a single instant.

    I don't think it is a stretch to believe angels exist if you already believe God exists. And one day it may be there is no more faith on the earth, but I will not live to see it.

    I think it is cool and mysterious. Then I hear stories from people I know, and its even more amazing than I assume.

    That doesn't consider the possibility of spiritual warfare that will crop up due to the presence of opposing forces.
