Deception Is the Main Battleground For the END

[ScottA]

That above of course is a slander attempt without substance, right off the bat, to make sure those who read your post are 'aligned' properly with your twisted ideas.




The Genesis 26 reference is about one of the blessings God gave to Abraham regarding the Promise by Faith. It is simple, and is that God promised Abraham's seed would LITERALLY be as many of the sands of the sea, and stars of the sky. There is NOTHING said in that Genesis 26 verse relating to the stars falling like you ADDED to that Genesis Scripture!



The idea of "winter" given by Christ in His Olivet discourse is symbolic, just like 'summer' also is that He also gave in His Olivet discourse. But you are TAKING AWAY from the written Scripture by trying to re-define Christ's use of 'winter' in relation to the REAL HORTICULTURE of the middle east WINTER FIG that falls off in SPRING.

Rev 6:13
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
KJV


Shtawi: This is a variety grown in Koura, Lebanon. Shtawi comes from the word Shitaa’ in Arabic which means winter. It ripens very late, usually in November into Christmas. That's what "untimely figs" is about, an early fig in contrast to the sweetest fig harvested in the summer.

The Spirit does not ADD or TAKE AWAY, but leads unto "all truth", as it is written. This is the promise and provision given to us by Christ...which only comes by the means He also gave. Which is not to study the scriptures and and believe according to our own understanding--but what comes from the Father to those of His choosing to reveal it...as He demonstrated with Peter regarding how he came to know who Jesus was. This is what is written, and how He builds His Church.

The analogy as you have explained it--is not wrong--it's just not "all." And I understand that it has been 2,000 years, and left with the scriptures this form of study and testing to understand what is true, is the common practice. But look around--there are thousands of wrong and false doctrines, and they all came about not unlike the way you also came to believe what is true. History repeats--that is also how the Priests and Pharisees got much of what they believed wrong. Still...the promise is good, and the method is not new but established. But all that a thousand people imagine differently--thinking that the Spirit has lead them--is proven wrong, in that they are common and yet differing. Christendom, just as Israel before us--has failed God's own test. So what then--He has stopped being God and active to fulfill everything in its time? No, but it comes--just as before--as least expected.

That is why I said, "if you can receive it." So, what's it going to be--you sticking to your own understanding with a death grip--or taking a breath, and looking past the predictable patterned response commonly believed that is proved wrong by the many differences, and allowing for the One?

Only One is true.

Trusting Jesus' written Word is to trust Jesus.

What 'some' claim... is from The Holy Spirit when going against what is written is not trusting in Jesus.

His Word was written down by holy men of God as they were moved by The Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:20).

And this is the crux of the problem.

What you have stated is not unlike the defense of Israel who trusted in the Law (like you trust in the scriptures) by the letter. The words therefore being spirit, are not a test of what is true, but are a test of the one who reads them. Hence the many different interpretations and beliefs about what is written. That alone ought to show you that the words at face value--even to the learned--are not enough.

It is not the [written] words only "...not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual."
