This Forum is for Christians only.
From your past involvement in the church and biblical studies, you bring a lot of knowledge to these discussions but a wolf in sheep's clothing only seeks to destroy.
You need to deal with what turned you from God and not try to muddy the waters of these discussions.God still has a great plan for your life but He will not force your hand. You still will have to humble yourself before Him.
In the mean time, I will not contend with you.
Do I look like a sheep to you or do I look like a wolf on all outward appearances?
What makes you think or believe I turned away from God?
What exactly about my previous post is upsetting you and causing you to fear the destruction of something?
You talk of wolves in sheeps clothing but have you ever considered a sheep in wolfs clothing?
That sheep in wolves clothing APPEARS to be a destroyer too but are they? The Pharisees thought Jesus was evil remember. They saw a wolf in sheeps clothing too.
False doctrines need to be destroyed and only Truth can destroy them. Lies cannot destroy lies.
Darkness needs to be destroyed and only LIGHT can destroy it. Darkness cannot destroy darkness.
Therefore in a sense Truth and Light are destroyers. They destroy the delusions of the gullible people who have been led astray by their false doctrines and self deceptions.
I turned away from idolising a man as God. I came to the revelation that God is not an individual man neither the son of man but God is a SPIRIT which is in innumerable bodies of flesh on Earth Yesterday Today and forever. If you need the scripture references to support that statement I will give them to you.
You have nothing to fear from me. If I am darkness and you are light, darkness cannot destroy you or your light no matter how hard it tries. IF I am light and you fear me then you must be darkness. Light is not afraid of darkness and it never rejects it. Light does not push darkness away in order to destroy it. It embraces it in order to turn it into light because that is the nature of Light.
What do you want to find on forums,... sheep in sheeps clothing who simply follow what you say and never question you?
Why do you think Jesus APPEARED to turn water into wine? When exactly did the stone WATERpots fill with wine? Jesus never put wine in the pots but told the servants to fill those pots with WATER and what they drew out was still water.
If the pots had wine in them in the first place and all the wine was already gone, how drunk do you suppose the people at the feast were? If you give an intoxicated person fresh water to drink, they might be so intoxicated that they can't even tell if its wine or water.
Anyway, why do you think that some people perceive the wine to be symbolic of the Holy Spirit when the bible warns people against drinking wine due to its intoxicating nature?
You said ". He came to transform these vessels of stone and water into vessel of flesh and fill them with the presence of His Spirit, which in this case is depicted as the New Wine.".
Jesus never told anyone to fill the pots with
wine. He told them to fill the pots with
water which seemed to be wine to those who drank it but isn't it possible that were they so intoxicated by the wine they had already consumed that they could not tell the difference once they tasted the water?
Many professing believers today cannot tell the difference between the True Christ and a false Christ. They cannot tell the difference between darkness and light. They claim to have light in them but the light in them is actually darkness.
