Talk about takeing something out out context.. I said, "I know sit down and shutup" as in telling me to do so.

Took you that long really?
to say so?

uh huh

we can see from this actual joust pic here, that both parties can loose



both have lost their seat. riding is all about balance

( so many metaphors I am getting losteded)

btw, I always wanted to try fencing. we need some fencing here.

stop the metaphors!

ok I'm done
Oh, I see. You thought the "joust" was between GRACE777x70 and FGT when you supplied the picture of both riders falling off their seats


i see
Took you that long really?
yes I know sit down and sutup.

I'm asking for it now, but how do you explain v.2 of Genesis 1?



the 'deep' refers to the water I think? yet the Spirit of God was hovering over it (the waters)

I think people need to be careful about supposing what God and cannot do or whether or not the Holy Spirit can be in darkness

did not God create both? if you refer to 'darkness' only as a 'spiritual' darkness, then how do we explain v.2 ?

can you supply scripture that attests to what you say regarding that where the Spirit of God is there is ONLY light?

please try to think about this. arguing is the last thing on my mind.
ps...we do know that there is no 'darkness' in God at all, but I think that means spiritual darkness?

thinking out loud here so please don't blast me anyone

5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. I John 1:5
Now I am not scared of anything, but you are scary. LOL
I also agree with what you said. Goood job.
Not trying to be rude, (professing my innocence now) but could you (since you are now responding to my questions) clarify what you meant by " Goood job"

See, I do have a problem comprehending snide sarcastic cutting remarks

But my spirit in me is telling me that I haven't in these particular instances here

I know. I'm not supposed to justify myself but I am supposed to leave everything to HIM

But at the moment, I'm looking for clarification since I have been told that I have a comprehension problem I would like very much to understand what I have comprehended incorrectly so that I can correct my error and not do it again

thank you

Romans 5:20

Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

We know that God's commandments are perfect and teach us about Him. Grace is from love.

The law was a pretty big thing to deal with and God used it to teach people. We all know He is longsuffering and patient towards us, and we can see that man has been given abundant grace since the beginning.

Even now, if we can't keep the law of Christ, we still have God's grace, through faith to come to Him for forgiveness and correction.

CHRIST is just a man who accomplished the workings of the law which was against us?

and we can follow the model of CHRIST and do the same thing?


Is that what you are saying?

because that is what it sounds like
I think the misunderstanding might be about "the law".

Lord Jesus told us the simplified will of God through the commandments, namely to love God and love each other. That's the law. What they had in the O.T. was a framework to do these commandments but not really the understanding of grace and love that came through Christ. So when they said the law was against us, it was a giant stumbling block that they couldn't live with because it was like always being condemned and they had a priesthood of men.

Lord Jesus did God's will. He followed the commandments, even on the sabbath. He treated people with kindness, patience and did not judge them. He corrected their errors, taught them parables, even explained hidden meanings. He kept His promises and befriended them. He pleased Father God.

When He said He came to fulfill the law, He did not mean do away with it. He came and did it, by loving us and dying for us. Love is the law.

The freedom we have is from the Levitical priesthood and the curse of death, we have our High Priest and King in heaven, and faith which is pleasing to God. Lord Jesus' righteous blood has done away with our sins.

One day...when HE reopens the eyes of HIS FIRST LOVE, Israel, HE will remove that yoke of burden of guilt and sin and they will go out like calves released from their stalls

wjen HE opens up a "fountain of cleanliness" to the inhabitants of David

As Lord of the Sabbath, Jesus had the right, power, and authority to dispense it in any way He pleased, even to the abolishing of it and reinstituting it as the Lord’s Day, a day of worship. Since the Lord of the Sabbath had come, He who is the only true “Sabbath rest” made the old law of the Sabbath no longer needed or binding. When He said, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath” Mark 2:27, Jesus was attesting to the fact that, just as the Sabbath day was originally instituted to give man rest from his labors, so did He come to provide us rest from laboring. Because of His sacrifice on the cross, we can now forever cease laboring to attain God’s favor and rest in His mercy and grace. If Wednesday is your only day off or if it's not, do take a day and honor Him,,, that doesn't have to be Saturday or Sunday or it can,,, the point is the Saturday or Sunday, a day of worship, the Lord's day can be any day, just spend some time and honor what was accomplished at the cross.

It would be cool to be friends with people who come to Christ and realize their errors. Instead of having them be the world's enemy, they could be friends. Wow.

You see some of the things so-called Jews believe today, from the book of lies the talmud, they believe that the messiah will come and give every Jew 2800 slaves.

Well good job means good job. Is their any other meaning for it?
As long as we are going to try and clear the air, ( I know this will also be taken out of context when the times come to bash Rainrider, That is all good though, You see I really do care. So long as you are going after me then you are going after someone that can't deal with it. Me, I just let it run off.
I opened this tread with a simple set of rules. It took less than a page before that was removed, and folks did what ever they wanted. You want respect, I think you show try as hard as others I have seen on to give it. You will get no apology from me on that, as it seems that most people on here don't even bother to read a post, they are just looking to push their ideas off anyone that doesn't see things their way. no attempt to even find out anything about the other person, just hay they said Law lets get them.
As for taking some time to get back to you, a person can't be on here 24/7 just to make others happy, so please do not make it sound as though you are being shuned. When it comes to you, I will not try to use hummer, as seems that is over your head.
One last thing, if you see my action before now as so wrong, please report me. I am begging you to.
Until now I have taken it and done my best to remain kind. I have been called a faults teacher, a liar, told I have no faith, and much more. So don't bring me you pitty party when you get a little bit back.

And yes I know this is what some on here have been working for. Well you got it, now if you like I can report myself. as I know full well the actions of this post are not going to seen in a good light. Just keep in mind if you ask me to, I am more than willing. only I am going to make it known no matter what, just what it is I have had to deal with.
I also notice that not one person on here ever sdaid a word when I posted about my sister and her reactio to this oe thread. I thank you all for that, though at one time I may have plainted the seed fo faith in her, for othes to water, that chance thanks to her reading just a small part of what goes on in here is most likely gone for good. I do hope you are ALL PORED OF YOUR ACTIONS.

Did you follow the thread
Well I understand this thread to be about how you see these verses: Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets...." and Mat 5:18

I asked you why you feel this thread is about professing self, and you didn't answer my question; you only posed another question? I asked, because I don't see why you feel this thread is about promoting self. I make or made no judgment of anyone on this thread yet; it was just a question.

I don't see how I ever promoted self. I did defend myself when needed, and yes that may be seen by some as promotion. Yet I don't se you saying a word about the way others acted. Why is that?

And for any that may be left thinking, what the heck? I went right on and reported my self. So if I am asked to leave this sight, trust me, their will be no hard feelings, I think I learned I will ever get from here anyway. Thanks for all your unwillingness to even try to understand.

I? You know what I see? Or did you assume you knew what I see?
not all of Israel are of ISRAEL


I can't decide who is or who isnt
but what I can't see, HE does and will open the eyes of HIS REMNANT alone


our call was to preach CHRIST to ALL men

not to decide in advance who is wheat and who is tares

I don't know why some people get not only a bee in their bonnet, but they seem to get the entire hive

as the originator of more than one thread, its been some time mind you, the struggle is real to keep it real

this thread is not about keeping the law. yet so many jumped on it and said it was

and I am not defending the op. I just happen to be able to read with comprehension and if I do not understand, by gum, I will go all crazy and ask questions

try it some time y'all

This of course does not need to be answered by Rainrider.
Anyone please can consider answering this question

How does GOD(HaShem) speak to us today?
Because, of course we know there is only ONE SPIRIT (that was also in the prophets)


aldo what I whisper to you in private?
what are we supposed to do with what we are given by THE ONE SPIRIT?
And is yeshua's spirit different from HaShem's spirit?
He speaks to us by His Son. In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, [SUP]2 [/SUP]but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. [SUP] Heb. 1[/SUP]

And if you don't mind, whose spirit was in all the prophets pointing to the glories and all the grace and truth found in THE ONE who was to come in THE FATHER's NAME?
