Somehow I knew that someone would go overboard over my statement.

I was not saying that I think that I am the angel of the church of Philadelphia.

I was actually humbling myself from that point to say that I am simply a man who knows what he is talking about.

While, I believe that when the church of Philadelphia comes about, there is going to have to be someone who fulfills the role in question.

And I know that I pray every night that the Lord will usher in the age of Philadelphia in the church.

So, whether I am its angel or not, I believe that I have a role in bringing about the fulfillment of the scriptures in question (Revelation 3).



Lol I'm really surprised you haven't been translated as Enoch was.
I really really hate to see a brother in this state.....it is delusional and needs re grounding in the Spirit!

Since I am the originator of this thread, it would be punishing me if OnceFallen were to close the thread.

Therefore, if it is others who are acting with a lack of love within this thread, it would be an unfair punishment to me for him to close it.

Since I have not been acting with a lack of love.



He closes and bans long time members who starts threads look at not by works thread.
Punishment is the last option for correction!
I'm not in favor of any who fail to show Jesus command to love one another.
They have tried to correct you by scripture .

When you teach law, as is being done here, you place people right back under the curse. Which no one can keep. And as paul said, placed a burden on them not even the fathers could keep.
If you are not under the law personally, you are certainly free to disregard everything that I have been saying.

My purpose in preaching the law, is to preach it as a schoolmaster to lead men to Christ (Galatians 3:24).

If the law shows you to be a sinner (Romans 3:20) then it is showing you that you need Christ.

It is always good to be reminded of this even if we have been a believer for a long period of time.

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul (Psalms 19:7).

If you are already converted, then you don't need any of what I have been preaching. Go on your merry way.

As a woman who respects the role of men that God created as protector and leader in worship of God, I am sorry to have to see you not here.
May you get the word of God in an humble and loving attitude after spending time away.

I have tried to correct them by scripture.

No scripture that they have brought up is convincing enough for me to cause me to disregard the scriptures that I have brought up.

In all reality, I am in agreement with them very much as concerning the teachings on grace.

But there is more to the picture than what they are understanding.

I have been diagnosed with a mental illness and am already aware that some of what I may think in my mind may be a result of that.

I do not place a lot of stock in things that I may think apart from sound doctrine in the Bible, therefore.

No; because I have addicted myself to the ministry of the saints (1 Corinthians 16:15).

I have had dreams of being Enoch in a former life.

But I do not place a lot of stock in the thinking that results from that.

Especially since Hebrews 9:27 tells us it is appointed unto man once to die.

I am much better than I used to be; medicine has done wonders in my life.

Of course I have had to deal with the condemnation that I have had to feel over taking it.

Please do not ever stop your meds and have them re evaluated frequently.
There is no shame in needing medical assistance nor in taking meds.
God gives us wisdom to know when we need help from each other
I am 64 and take meds for a variety of illness. I'm thankful for modern meds,I've outlived all my maternal family members by about 5 yrs now and I'd like to reach 94.


I will be holding you up,prayer changes things and God can transform your thoughts into good for his kingdom.

Because I know that I have the capacity to be off-base in my thinking, I always try to reference verses in my teachings that substantiate my point of view; and I always encourage the reader to be a Berean (Acts 17:10-11) and search the scriptures to see whether what I am saying is true.

And I believe that the Lord's power is made perfect in my weakness. He motivates me to study to shew myself approved, a workman that does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

I endeavor to be correct in my understanding of doctrine and have asked the Lord to let that understanding remain unaffected by my mental illness (I am merely diagnosed bipolar by three different psychiatrists).

God has given me a few passages that have helped me to overcome the condemnation that I have felt.

Hebrews 11:21 is the primary one.

If a staff can help someone walk when they are crippled physically, medicine can help a person walk spiritually or emotionally when they are crippled in such a manner; and we can even "worship while leaning on the top of our staff" to the day of our death.
