    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Well you just keep on misrepresenting folks if it makes you feel better Epi. Bye now.

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    My, what a self-aggrandizing rant you are on. When have I ever talked to you about Oprah....how on earth do you have any idea what I think or how I would approach her or others like her..? And all those who love your posts who know even less about me..? Doesn't anyone care about truth any...

    .....and some people type a lot and say little.

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    And so you are judging Oprah, Epi. You judge that she is a kind person and you think it is virtuous of you to do so. But how do you know? How do you know her heart and the secrets of her life? Are you God? All you see is her facade.

    Thoughts on Christian Mysticism and Contemplative Practice

    Um, how do you follow the way of Christ without having any belief in Him...? Isn't it the work of God to BELIEVE ON HE WHOM HE SENT? If you try to follow a good way without Him you are only glorifying yourself and not HIM. That is what FALLEN man seeks to do.

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Amen. Oh, the gospel itself is just "religious" and irrelevant to many now. The church is in big trouble. Someone on another thread about contemplative prayer reads Zen books and Epi apparently supports him. It feels like Christianity is absolutely drowning and going down for the third time...

    Thoughts on Christian Mysticism and Contemplative Practice

    So you won't show me how what I said was dark and joyless to you? As for me I have trouble accepting that someone is a Christian if he needs to read Zen in order to understand the bible. I want no part of that, and may heaven help such a one.

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    I'm not "occupied with non-believers".....ecumenicalists are. But this is what the scripture says Epi....aren't you familiar with it?.....we are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers. But come out from among them and be separate. I can give you chapter and verse if you want. But it...

    Thoughts on Christian Mysticism and Contemplative Practice

    Except I didn't say it in your tone of voice. Even so I apologize, I gathered that you were youngish, and I am oldish. ;) What was dark, fearful and joyless about what I said? All things become new, the old has passed away....can't eat of two tables or serve two masters? What? His...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Ecumenicalism links arms with unbelievers....unequally yoked with unbelievers, which we are clearly instructed in scripture not to do. We are not to be unequally yoked with non-born again Catholicism and non-born again Judaism, much less any other religion of the world such as Hinduism, Islam...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Mystery Babylon.........is riding the beast......and the beast will eventually turn on her. What is that beast she is riding....isn't it the world, the kingdoms and spirit of the world that she is in bed with? That was the condition Israel/Jerusalem was in when God judged it by turning the...

    Thoughts on Christian Mysticism and Contemplative Practice

    Listen honey. When someone is born again........we are like a new born babe, knowing nothing but Christ and Him crucified. We are an entirely new creature, a blank slate as concerns our past....our old sins are washed away. "Behold I make all things new and old things are passed away." Jesus...

    Thoughts on Christian Mysticism and Contemplative Practice

    Brother, I think it would be better to be washed with the washing of the water of the word and have your mind renewed (to the mind of Christ), so that you no longer look at the scriptures with reference to anything belonging to your past, but with entirely fresh eyes and let the word of God just...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Amigo is referring to the current ecumenical movement that is deceiving many and leading them to the strong delusion. What are your thoughts on ecumenicalism? Should we abandon the gospel in order to just get along with the lost world and erring Christendom?

    Thoughts on Christian Mysticism and Contemplative Practice

    Your parodies are not biblical. The wages of sin is DEATH. The broad way leads to DESTRUCTION. Mortality as opposed to eternal life/immortality. 2Co 5:9-11 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of...

    No it isn't. Why do you bring it up?

    Thoughts on Christian Mysticism and Contemplative Practice

    Was this a formula or were you simply being led by the Spirit? Important difference. It can easily lead astray to depart from the simplicity of Christ, and that's what this "contemplative prayer" does, along with other things I've seen. If someone has to write entire books about something...

    Thoughts on Christian Mysticism and Contemplative Practice

    No, are you kidding?....He's much bigger and hotter than a volcano. Better start working out your salvation with FEAR AND TREMBLING. Who is it that God esteems? He who TREMBLES at His word. Don't you know that yet? You better put down the garbage you've been reading and start reading the bible.

    Thoughts on Christian Mysticism and Contemplative Practice

    Oh sure, feel free to listen to God, but they are making something simple and normal into a horse of a different colour. It's deception. And it robs God of His glory and gives it to whoever is making this stuff up. Ear tickling, spine tingling utter NONSENSE.

    Thoughts on Christian Mysticism and Contemplative Practice

    I'm weary of this conversation already. No ears to hear so why bother. So much utter nonsense in Christendom these days. Mysterious "cloud of unknowing".....really? Hocus pocus alimagocus. Good golly. Show me this "cloud of unknowing" in God's word. You can't because it isn't there...
