shhh...
(0) A song. A psalm of Asaf:
2 (1) God, don’t remain silent!
Don’t stay quiet, God, or still;
3 (2) because here are your enemies, causing an uproar;
those who hate you are raising their heads,
4 (3) craftily conspiring against your people,
consulting together against those you treasure.
5 (4) They say, “Come, let’s wipe them out as a nation;
let the name of Isra’el be remembered no more!”
6 (5) With one mind they plot their schemes;
the covenant they have made is against you —
7 (6) the tents of Edom and the Yishma‘elim,
Mo’av and the Hagrim,
8 (7) G’val, ‘Amon and ‘Amalek,
P’leshet with those living in Tzor; (Selah)
9 (8) Ashur too is allied with them,
to reinforce the descendants of Lot.
10 (9) Do to them as you did to Midyan,
to Sisra and Yavin at Vadi Kishon —
11 (10) they were destroyed at ‘Ein-Dor
and became manure for the ground.
12 (11) Make their leaders like ‘Orev and Ze’ev,
all their princes like Zevach and Tzalmuna,
13 (12) who said, “Let’s take possession
of God’s meadows for ourselves.”
14 (13) My God, make them like whirling dust,
like chaff driven by the wind.
15 (14) Like fire burning up the forest,
like a flame that sets the mountains ablaze,
16 (15) drive them away with your storm,
terrify them with your tempest.
17 (16) Fill their faces with shame,
so that they will seek your name, Adonai.
18 (17) Let them be ashamed and fearful forever;
yes, let them perish in disgrace.
19 (18) Let them know that you alone,
whose name is Adonai,
are the Most High over all the earth.
Philippians 2 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
2 Therefore, if you have any encouragement for me from your being in union with the Messiah, any comfort flowing from love, any fellowship with me in the Spirit, or any compassion and sympathy, 2 then complete my joy by having a common purpose and a common love, by being one in heart and mind. 3 Do nothing out of rivalry or vanity; but, in humility, regard each other as better than yourselves — 4 look out for each other’s interests and not just for your own.
5 Let your attitude toward one another be governed by your being in union with the Messiah Yeshua:
6 Though he was in the form of God,
he did not regard equality with God
something to be possessed by force.
7 On the contrary, he emptied himself,
in that he took the form of a slave
by becoming like human beings are.
And when he appeared as a human being,
8 he humbled himself still more
by becoming obedient even to death —
death on a stake as a criminal!
9 Therefore God raised him to the highest place
and gave him the name above every name;
10 that in honor of the name given Yeshua,
every knee will bow —
in heaven, on earth and under the earth —
11 and every tongue will acknowledge[a]
that Yeshua the Messiah is Adonai —
to the glory of God the Father.
12 So, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed when I was with you, it is even more important that you obey now when I am away from you: keep working out your deliverance with fear and trembling,[b]13 for God is the one working among you both the willing and the working for what pleases him. 14 Do everything without kvetching or arguing, 15 so that you may be blameless and pure children of God, without defect in the midst of a twisted and perverted generation,[c]among whom you shine like stars in the sky, 16 as you hold on to the Word of Life. If you do this, I will be able to boast, when the Day of the Messiah comes, that I did not run or toil for nothing. 17 Indeed, even if my lifeblood is poured out as a drink offering over the sacrifice and service of your faith, I will still be glad and rejoice with you all. 18 Likewise, you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
19 But I hope in the Lord Yeshua to send Timothy to you shortly, so that I too may be cheered by knowing how you are doing. 20 I have no one who compares with him, who will care so sincerely for your welfare — 21 people all put their own interests ahead of the Messiah Yeshua’s. 22 But you know his character, that like a child with his father he slaved with me to advance the Good News. 23 So I hope to send him just as soon as I see how things will go with me, 24 and I am confident in the Lord that before long I myself will come too.
25 Also I considered it necessary to send you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow-worker and fellow-soldier, the emissary whom you sent to take care of my needs; 26 since he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard he was ill. 27 Indeed he was ill, close to death; but God had mercy on him — and not only on him, but also on me — otherwise I would have had sorrow piled on sorrow. 28 Therefore, I am all the more eager to send him, so that you may rejoice when you see him again; and I, for my part, may be less sad. 29 So give him a joyful welcome in the Lord; honor such people. 30 For he risked his life and nearly died working for the Messiah, in order to give me the help you were not in a position to give.
maybe we should invest in a thread about false visions and lying divinations and how people are oppressed by them
Ezekiel had something to say about that and his message was truly from God
would make an interesting thread I think
God says 'do not fear' and people come along and threaten others supposedly in the name of God
spiritual abuse
When I started this thread, I posted that I knew there were two doctrines concerning the atonement. I didn't know why until I researched. It seems to come mostly through Pentecostal Christians but not solely.
Why? Because of the definition of one with God. It depends on what we see in this word. Also defining ressurection life.
I looked at Pauls words in the Greek concerning the latter. It's to stand up again from death. Even in this will come a division of understanding.
I also said I see atonement and communion as the one experience of receiving all that we need from the Lord. That we have returned to the garden and can receive the benefits of complete provision now, and then later...Paradise.
Thats my faith based asked on what I see from study. Not any mans opinions.
Faith is in the blood of Jesus. Blood is the life of men. His blood is heavenly, from another place than this earthly realm. And if discerned...will bring life to our body. Eternal, pure without disease, and powerful to set us free from the adamic human nature we are born into.
So the question to us all, is what do we see.
They (ran out of time)Those that say the don't wouldn't know a true prophet if he/she slapped them up side the head.
The move of the baptism of Holy Spirit has come to the Catholic Church. I used to attend the meetings at Christ The King Church in Indiana. Connected somehow to Notre Dame I think. It's been a while, but they had a hotel that members were selling properties and moving into this hotel. I don't think it's what the entire church has accepted though.
Am surprised you didnt know.
Stones, I know that the charismatic movement came under an other name on end of the 60 into the RCC. What I meant is that it is not an origin teaching of the RCC and yes, there where i live it is not in the RCC.
I misunderstood then what you were asking. I think Lancelot addressed this better than I ever could. Am not sure what other name you heard though for I was involved in the movement as I said. But, my church back then was Christian Center. Lester Sumrall.
I really don't have anything more to add Wolf. We've gone over all these things before.
Either you agree with the supernatural works of Holy Spirit still for today, or you don't. It's the Cross of Jesus Christ, His blood shed for all the world, yet must be believed and received is where we will find unity. No other place but by His blood. I've found my tribe and am content. I hope the same for all.
Later...hopefully in another thread.
Stones, i dont say that God is working supernaturell!!! I said only that the teachings about the baptism with the Holy Spirit and as sign for that speaking in tongues is not taught in the bible and also not during churchhistory. And no one was till now able to bring a proof that this was taught before Topeka and Azusa Events from 1900 on.

Oh! Me, me, me!
God has me doing a study of false prophets and visions as I read through the OT prophets. I didn’t start in Isaiah, unfortunately, but my Jeremiah, the list was growing.
A good portion of the OT prophets are about false teachers and preachers! I confess, I didn’t like Ezekiel on all my previous read through. But now, all the ”false prophets” are just jumping off the page.
Here’s the thing, everything these self appointed prophets and their followers (inside and outside CC) could well have these statements directed exactly at them. Here is something I read last night:
”Then the word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who are now prophesying. Say to the prophets who prophesy from their imagination: ‘Hear the word of the Lord! 3 This is what the sovereign Lord says: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit but have seen nothing! 4 Your prophets have become like jackals among the ruins, O Israel. 5 You have not gone up in the breaks in the wall, nor repaired a wall for the house of Israel that it would stand strong in the battle on the day of the Lord. 6 They see delusion and their omens are a lie. They say, “the Lord declares,” though the Lord has not sent them; yet they expect their word to be confirmed. 7 Have you not seen a false vision and announced a lying omen when you say, “the Lord declares,” although I myself never spoke?
8 “‘Therefore, this is what the sovereign Lord says: Because you have spoken false words and forecast delusion, look, I am against you, declares the sovereign Lord. 9 My hand will be against the prophets who see delusion and announce lying omens. They will not be included in the council of my people, nor be written in the registry of the house of Israel, nor enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the sovereign Lord.” Ezekiel 13:1-9
“Prophesy against the prophets who are now prophesying.” It doesn’t get much truer than that!
“Because you have spoke false words and forecast delusion, look, against you, declares the sovereign Lord. “
Just wow!
I know I am off topic, but in a way, I am not. We have self appointed prophets in this forum, who don’t even have a clue what the Bible says, or how to exegete it. Then we have others copy and pasting pamphlets from people who are “prophets [who] have become like jackals among the ruins.”
We have others pronouncing not just judgements, but actually condemning and judging people’s salvation, false prophets every one!
“Have you not seen a false vision and announced a lying omen when you say “The Lord declares,” Although I myself never spoke!”
The Bible is so powerful! A word for all occasions.
I meant " i dont say that God is not working supernaturell today" i missed the word: NOT
Are you saying that healing the condition of our spirits comes from physical wine and oil ?
How many gates are there in the vision given to yechezkel(ezekiel)Reminded now of the verse that says something like...you have disheartened those who should not have been disheartened and have encouraged those you should not have.
Actually, let me look that up.
Its ezek 13:22.

My son, keep the commands of your father, and do not forsake the instruction of your mother.
Bind them always upon your heart, tie them upon your neck.
}When you walk, it shall lead you;
}when you lie down, it shall guard you,
}and when you awaken, it shall speak for you.
For a commandment is a candle, and the Torah is light, and disciplining rebukes are the way of life;
