2 Timothy 3
All Scripture Is Breathed Out by God

14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 15and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.

Hebrews 1
1Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high

John 14
23Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.

Your bible says it is through Jesus that God speaks to us today and when He does speak to us, those words that will come out from His mouth are His words that we have to keep.

And when is coming to Jesus today a road to arrogance?
Coming to Jesus is not the road to arrogance. Following the private interpretations of men, that have been misled by the profane babbling of the lying spirit that appeared on a telescreen in the Philipines in 2001 does lead to arrogance. It leads those cult members to deny the truth of the Scriptures. It leads those cult members to believe that those who do as Christ instructed concerng baptism are false prophets. It leads those cult members to a false religion that has secrets.

Do you like the other banned members of your cult wordsponge and daughteroflight also believe that those who baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost are false prophets? Was Christ a false prophet when He said "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost'?

Do you believe like wordsponge and daughteroflight that Mat28:19 is a hoax?

It will be interesting to see if you admit the truth or hide behind more profane babbling because you fear admitting your real beliefs might get you banned preventing your attempts to mislead others on this forum

Don't you know that God does not change?
Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever
Don't you know that "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"(2Ti3:16)?
Don't you know that we are to "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2Ti2:15)?
Should we be decieved like you, wordsponge and daughter of light who believe the single revelation of a lying spirit over the 16 century's of testimony by the prophet's and Christ delivered through the inspired by God and followed by Christians for 2000 years? No we shold not!

Isn't it time you set aside these profane babblings and came to know the one true God whose testimony was given through 16 century's by the prophets and Christ as recorded in God's inspired Word the Scriptures?

Have you not read the Scriptures?
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Must you continue this profane babbling derived from a false secret keeping religion decieved by a lying spirit that appeared on a telescreen in 2001 to a 14 year old kid in the Philipines?

In another post you said Christ is right beside you and is beside all people. Wouldn't it be better if Christ resided in your heart as He does in those who have accepted Him and have recieved the circumcision of heart that comes with being born again? Isn't it time you quit following the profane babblings derived from a lying spirit that delivered a message via telescreen and joined the ranks of true believers that follow the 16 centuries of testimony given by the prophets and Christ as recorded in the living Word of God in the Scriptures?

2 Timothy 3 - "for correction"? Correction of what? Of the WORD of GOD?? For reproof? an expression of blame or disapproval? By whom??? By which man is this allowed? Surely not by the man whom Christ speaks to if hearing Christ is not an ability any man has..???
How is the Word of God corrected and reproofed? How then can we know the righteousness if reading only the corrected, reproofed Word of God? can you please elaborate? For some of us we look to the Spirit for guidance through this literature so that we may know righteousness and understanding as it is guided by the Spirit of Christ.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the Bible is wrong, but I believe it is understood or taken in MANY different ways and unless un-holy or by bad intention who are we to criticise? Who are we to say "Do MY way"? If we all Love and follow the Lord, where is the problem?

Also, I'm not completely understanding how people take the word of profits from the scripture, testimony's of people who have had these encounters with the Lord over years long ago yet discredit or dismiss those who have testimonied after the printing of the book? Did the Lord say there will be no more? That he would cease to speak to people in Spirit? I just wonder because I haven't read any verses of this yet and most that I have say to listen to the Spirit of Christ, to follow the Spirit and that man cannot live on bread alone, but by ever word that proceedith out of the mouth of God.

Also what demonic creature could be so powerful against Christ that he could imitate the Lord and enter into those who belong to him and are in the light of the Holy Spirit, and the homes of those who have given everything to God? Even an imitation to those who walk after the Spirit would be known by the righteousness in their hearts. And turning them to God? What kind of demonic creature turns those to the Lord to walk after Christ and do righteousness? The Lord said to acknowledge him in all ways, are you saying not to acknowledge the Spirit of Christ to those who do? Or to ONLY acknowledge him in YOUR way?

What has Jesus told that you would need to know? He who hath ears let him hear! Why should the Lord come to pass a message to someone he would not pass it to himself? Maybe you hear through the literature and that is your way. I look to the Word as testimony of others who have spoken to and heard the Lord and the Word he spake to them to let all know how real he is and how we might come to know him. What kind of Cult member do I become for walking after the Spirit of Christ and be lead to the Word to understand it through his teaching? What cult is that that acknowledge the Lord in all ways? Who's cult has faithfulness only unto God and the Lord Jesus Christ?

We should not neglect the Bible, but everyone's journey with Christ may be different, can we just acknowledge that? and those of us who don't see or hear Christ acknowledge that perhaps there are those who do, that they see or hear the Spirit of Christ that is alive and not dormant and never was. And that those who feel the Spirit feel it, and those who abide by the Word do that.

Do we have to say yay or nay or make mockery of something not everyone understands? Let those who hear, hear. And those who don't hear to abide by the Word or those who hear a different way to do that and those who choose not to listen to encourage them to listen in their own way, to Christ and not to us.

Doulus Are people banned for acknowledging and knowing the Spirit of Christ in their own way? For understanding the scripture differently? I'm not sure who this daughteroflight was, nor did I get to read her posts so my apologies if she was completely out of line and rude, but I would rather pray for these people and draw them closer to the Lord than to ban and outcast them. I'm not sure if any of what I have said is misleading in any way and I would hope no-one is mislead, this is definately not my intention. I say love the Lord and listen in your own way, that that may be the way he has chosen for you. I may have thrown myself in the deep end here, but how can I not present what I know and believe in the defence of others alike.

We are all walking towards or with Jesus Christ, may we all walk our own paths and be blessed with the guidance of the Lord and of the Holy Spirit, and may we all be accepting of the experiences of others on their journey. Love and be loved everyone. X

The Lord Jesus said:

.........keep in your mind that whosoever will act being a pastor who will act being a leader of My Church he is doing iniquity and snatching away My post being the Good Pastor because you are only human beings those of you who act as pastors those of you who teach and stand up in front of many people those of you who are doers of iniquities those of you who cast out devils in My name keep in your mind that in My Second coming many will call on to Me saying Lord Lord didn’t we do powerful works and in your name we cast out devils we did healing but keep in your mind I will say to them never at any time do I know you I do not know you at any time those of you who are habitual workers of iniquity those of you who are casting out devils keep in your mind that if you cast out devils you are snatching away the post which properly belongs to Me only if there is anyone being possessed with by demon that you may encounter you should only pray to Me and in that manner I Am ready to hear your prayer and I will hear your every plea that you will whisper to Me that you will shout at that you will pray to.

John 5:39. Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.[SUP] 40[/SUP] And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

I don't remember anything more than this that the Lord had taught to the disciples concerning the scriptures neither did the Lord instruct them to teach the scriptures to the people as their manual in knowing God. The Lord Jesus clearly said that we must come to Him if we want eternal life and if we want to know Him and God, we have to learn same from Him and we can see this in Matt. 11:28-29.

It leads those cult members to a false religion that has secrets.
Look, doulus, Jesus is just right beside you and you can come to the Lord Jesus minus all those private interpretations, what's the big deal with those things when they are not meant for any doctrine or teaching that must be anchored to your salvation and in fact you have nothing to take from those things that I said except for one and that is to come to the Lord Jesus Christ?

Do you like the other banned members of your cult wordsponge and daughteroflight also believe that those who baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost are false prophets? Was Christ a false prophet when He said "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost'?


Neither am I connected to wordsponge nor am I affiliated with daughteroflight, what I am only telling all the brethren is that we have to come to Jesus today because He is the Good Shepherd/Teacher of all in all ages.


Do you believe like wordsponge and daughteroflight that Mat28:19 is a hoax?
Here is what the Lord Jesus taught us that He actually said in that part of the scriptures:

Go ye and make all nations My followers and disciples and I Am baptizing you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."


It will be interesting to see if you admit the truth or hide behind more profane babbling because you fear admitting your real beliefs might get you banned preventing your attempts to mislead others on this forum
Telling all the brethren to come only to Christ and to put all our trust only to the Lord Jesus Christ who is beside all people, do you consider this as misleading others in this forum? You can ignore all the testimonies to the Lord that I am sharing you with in this board except for that one, how do I mislead others then? And if that tantamounts to my getting banned, I am not afraid to testify Jesus to all.

Don't you know that God does not change?
Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

The Lord Jesus Christ is real and alive and we can submit all these passages to Him for clarification and verification, how is that to you?


Isn't it time you set aside these profane babblings and came to know the one true God whose testimony was given through 16 century's by the prophets and Christ as recorded in God's inspired Word the Scriptures?
If you can clearly show me any passage in the bible where the Lord God or Jesus Christ clearly said that from the time He was taken up and onward, the Lord God will not deal and speak with the people anymore and the book which will be called the bible and which will come up afterward will be the only basis and source of the people in knowing the truth, the God, and their salvation and eternal life, can you?

Kindly bring this matter up to the Lord Jesus Christ who is just beside at all times. Various religious denominations use these verses of the bible but are they united?

If what you are saying is true, how many born again believers' denominations does the world have today considering that all those denominations say Christ is in them, is Christ divided as they are? Don't you believe the Lord Jesus is real and alive and that He can talk to whoever He wants to in all ages?

Today, God speaks to us through his written Word, which has power to affect our lives. Thus, by extension, Paul’s words recorded at Hebrews 4:12 can properly be applied to the Bible.

For those interested, you can find a bit of a study on seeking and receiving guidance for God Here
Yahweh Shalom...
One good part of the site which says:
Each Christian has the privilege and responsibility to seek God for themselves for Divine guidance.

A Christian is simply a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ and once you are a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, it only means that you have found your salvation who is the Lord God whose name is Jesus or the Mighty God or the Eternal Father.

Where in the scriptures did God or the Lord Jesus Christ teach to the disciples that God will speak to us today through the scriptures or the bible, is God not real and alive to you?
