It shows.

Live it up while you can, I predict your stay here will be brief.
He joins, hangs out a day or two, gets tossed, then shows up a few months later with a new name, but same demonic rants. He'll be banned in a day or two but we'll see him again.

I love you, it is your choice to remain stuck in the flesh and serve the thoughts, ideas and beliefs given to you by what is in the flesh. You do not have to accept the love given to you here and now.

Perhaps, we need to first ask what is the difference between our souls, our minds, and our brains. (I don't have an answer for this.)

Generally, I presume that our minds and brains are so integrated that we really can't discern the difference.

But, to follow up on the original question, how does the Holy Spirit interact with certain parts of our brains (or minds, or souls) to give us a new idea that we would not have had otherwise?

I think the ancients thought that the pineal gland was the location of the soul. Does anyone know of any evidence in this direction?

Do you think this is where the Holy Spirit interfaces with our brain to give us new thoughts and/or attitudes?

When the Bible says "Christ is in us", how does He actually influence our thoughts? Does He have a specific place in our brains that He can stimulate?

Is there a functional difference between the brains of a spiritually mature Christian and an emotionally mature non-Christian?

Any thoughts?
It means we actually do receive a "new heart" and a "new mind"...by that NEW COVENANT RELATIONSHIP with GOD through in and by CHRIST'S LIFE-GIVING SPIRIT...

I have never been here.. I also do not doubt I will be hated. My Big Brother, My friend, had already shown me the beast and I have already been hated by him in this world of yours. I have been "killed" and God raised me. I was as the liar calls dead and I am alive. I have been attacked by far more than anyone in a message board can do.. Its beautiful.. I know God and serve Him. You do not have to listen to Jesus, you never have anyways. And do not take offense to these words, know Jesus.

Intelligence is retarded compared to Almighty. Wisdom, understanding, all these things are retarded. Truly.
I hope you will hold to that after 2Thesselonians 2 actually happens...

In fact, hold to Philippians 4 and be still and wait
Blessed the man who waits and does not "go out"

Satan is in the flesh, the dirt, the mind. He is the thoughts, the one thinking. Selfish. Do yourself a favor. Shout in your mind. Shot something silently in your mind. Notice what happens. God shows you, he is outside the servant of Satan, not within. You must deny Satan to know God. Know that the eye, the ears, the nose, the flesh, is controlled by the liar. He is your advisor , he gives you everything you can see and know, he is your master. You must deny him and God will come to you, not from within, but from outside of self. how did adam and even know shame? Their thought. Know satan, know the liar and know where he dwells, where he is, what he is.
True sin is in the flesh and mind of man but not satan only tempts the person and it is the person who acts out the temptation evil is not a master but a slave to vengeance. God gave us all free will to choose and a better choice is not to deny but to overcome be a conquer of sin if the right hand stumbles cut it off and throw it away.

The Holy Spirit is the mind of Christ. His Spirit which bears witness with our own that we are children of God, He leads us, and teaches us, quickens something to us, empowers us, He helps us. When we feel weak its almost as if just in that moment He is like the breath of God exhaling within us filling us with strength (as I would describe it.)
Well, isn't HE?

The breath of GOD?

John 20:

Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 20And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.

21
Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 22And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: 23Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

Wow thanks....love is so powerful. Especially when one is able to love so powerfully. You are so powerfully powerful. I love you too.
Know that Gods truths, given to you are Love. Because they are given by God. Accept them and you will know Love, You will be with Love, In Love.. Your work is that of Satan's, and this is OK. Know God and Gods work. Go to work with the Father, where he works and how he works and you will know him, you will know I love you too. You will know I am with God and you can work with him too. He wants you to be, this is why I am here, this is how I serve God. I am Jesus' advocate but your helper, your comforter, your counselor.. I have all things true with me, I do not speak on my own or of myself, I speak only Gods words, Truth. You do not have to follow Jesus, you do not have to know God, you do not have to love, this is your choice. You decide, that's it. The liar shows you lies or God gives you truth. Your decision.

Everything I know has been given to ke, shown, by Jesus, Almighty, the spirit of truth and God servants. The soul.. This is how it is all given to me. Spirit. The flesh cannot nor will not hold Gods truths. The mind cannot. I was taught the mind and how it works in a matter of weeks.
Will you be taught the mind and how it works when HE who holds all things back is taken out of the way?

Thank you....thank for showing me that I worship the father of lies and for rebuking my ways of darkness. You are obviously sent from God as a messenger of rebuking darkness. I was wondering if you could come over to my house and perform an exorcism on me.

No it's not. And it isn't okay.
All are to bring ALL THEIR self-acclaimed "works" into the LIGHT to see and discern what is wrought in GOD and what isn't.

Some know and can discern this...some can't.

the liar will be made manifest in the day of trouble if he held to THE TRUTH, or simply did lip service to THE NAME.

The VERDICT is in...
LIGHT came so that men would no longer be able to walk in darkness.
It's just that some still choose not to come to THE LIGHT...

You're not hated, you're pitied. Someone with your proclamations, were they to be true, would not be jerking around on a chat site; you'd be at the front law of the White House or at Times Square with a megaphone and the MSM carrying your message.

why would he do that? he is doing what his master has told him to do...it's just that those who know THEIR MASTER can see past this therefore, if he were in Times Square or the White House, (thank GOD he isn't), he might have a better chance of deceiving than on a website where those born of CHRIST know they are born of HIM and can easily discern the spirit/voice of the liar from THE SPIRIT/VOICE of GOD...
