and SHROOM who SHE was talking to understood the word SATIRE and the fact she has been debating that issue with him long before you showed up in forum, because they don't agree. she was in a weird mood that day but she did post the word Satire on post she did not really mean from her heart..
why are you letting pride over come you? why don't you just admit you were mistaken and apologize?
she has posted what she believes yet you will not listen...

In the strictest sense, yes, she did. But you, me, and everyone else here, and I do mean everyone, knew she was being sarcastic. You HAVE to cling to your claim she was being serious to maintain your manhood.
It isn't working.
4runner, are you aware the bible says "there is no God"? It really says that. That must be true. Right?

Sola Scriptura - Scripture Alone
Solus Christus - Christ Alone
Sola Gratia - Grace Alone
Sola Fide - Faith Alone
Soli Deo Gloria - The Glory of God Alone
Unwarranted confidence in human ability is a product of fallen human nature ... God's grace in Christ is not merely necessary but is the sole efficient cause of salvation. We confess that human beings are born spiritually dead and are incapable even of cooperating with regenerating grace. We reaffirm that in salvation we are rescued from God's wrath by his grace alone. It is the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit that brings us to Christ by releasing us from our bondage to sin and raising us from spiritual death to spiritual life. We deny that salvation is in any sense a human work. Human methods, techniques or strategies by themselves cannot accomplish this transformation. Faith is not produced by our unregenerated human nature. - Cambridge Declaration

Isaiah 14
‘ I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High.’
1 Timothy 3
1 This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop,[a] he desires a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; 3 not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; 4 one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence 5 (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?); 6 not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

You know what is ironic is that Zone has falsely accused me at least 10 times, and when I asked her to produce evidence she would not nor would she retract her lies. Now when I truthfully expose her, the crowed goes wild ''dont say that about her'' and even when I post her own word she and the rest deny it.
Shouldnt that wake you people up???????????
Furthermore I didnt even say it on this thread, she brought it her all puffed up, with her dont falsely accuse me scriptures. She has blatantly falsely accused me of multiple things multiple time, who knows how many others she has falsely accused of who knows what. I mean how more hypocritical can one person be? Yet she can even own up to her own beliefs.
Now if anyone has a question that does not pertain to Zone or anything else outside of a rational biblical discussion ask away. But please respect the op, and do not continue this absurd back and forth about whatever has you undies in a knot.

God has given His children the power and authority to bring down the strongholds of satan. The Lord has given us the wisdom to denounce mind set that exalt themselves above the knowledge of God, and tear them down. Understanding has been given us to heal the church and teach unity. We have been given the power, now let us walk in it. Satan is deathly afraid that we will one day wake up and realize who we are. Let us arise we who sleep, for the glory of God is shining upon us.

The NAR Apostles and Manifest Sons of God Theology: Training the Army of the Lord
This article is a response to two insightful questions about my April 3 article, which described "social transformation" in the context of the apostles promoting the Seven Mountains campaign, including quotes from apostles who spoke at Harvard this past weekend. The first question concerned Apostle Bill Hamon's quote about a "mankind race" and whether this phrase has a history and can be found in other New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) literature. Yes. It is called Manifest Sons of God theology and can be traced to the Latter Rain movement. The ideology is widespread in the NAR, particularly in training for youth, and is described below. The second question was about Apostle Lance Wallnau's use of the phrase "eradicate the rats" and whether this is a metaphor for eliminating certain kinds of people. I will address the use of eliminationist rhetoric and imagery in the NAR in my next article
Bill Hamon's "Mankind Race"
The quote in question was from Bill Hamon's 2010 book Prophetic Scriptures Yet To Be Fulfilled. Hamon describes the "Final or Third Reformation of the Church" and its purpose.
Hamon refers to this "Army of the Lord Movement" in his writings, including Apostles, Prophets and the Coming Moves of God (1997) with a foreword by C. Peter Wagner.

Bill Hamon's "Mankind Race"
The quote in question was from Bill Hamon's 2010 book Prophetic Scriptures Yet To Be Fulfilled. Hamon describes the "Final or Third Reformation of the Church" and its purpose.
"... to fulfill God's original mandate to subdue all things, to take dominion and fill the earth with a mankind race in God's own image and likeness..."
Hamon's teachings parallel that of the New Order of the Latter Rain Movement of the late 1940s and 1950s which included a doctrine called the "Manifest Sons of God." In brief, this is the belief that before Jesus can return, a generation of super-believers sometimes called a "new breed of man" or Joel's Army, must emerge. According to Hamon, this generation will be trained for their tasks by modern apostles and prophets and will "execute God's judgment on earth." .
Hamon refers to this "Army of the Lord Movement" in his writings, including Apostles, Prophets and the Coming Moves of God (1997) with a foreword by C. Peter Wagner.
"God is preparing His Church to become an invincible, unstoppable, unconquerable, overcoming Army of the Lord that subdues everything under Christ's feet. There will be a sovereign restorational move of God to activate all that is needed for His army to be and do what He had eternally purposed.
...God's great end-time army is being prepared to execute God's written Judgments with Christ's victory and divine judgment decrees that have already been established in heaven. The time is set when they will be administered and executed on earth through God's saintly army. All that is destined and needed will be activated during God's restorational Army of the Lord Movement."

Manifest Sons of God, The Year of Jubilee and Feast of Tabernacles – The Age of Aquarius Disguised? via End Times Prophetic, Prophecy, Visions, Dreams, Revelation, Christian Blog February 19th, 2010 at 03:59
The following is an extract from Constance Cumbey’s book, A Planned Deception, which can be downloaded in its entirety for free here: http://public.me.com/cumbey. The bold emphasis used in the article is my own. Year of Jubilee? or Age of Aquarius Disguised? “Rev. Ernest Ramsey, an associate pastor at Unity’s Kansas City’s Founder’s Church, Unity on the Plaza, is an enthusiastic follower of the Alice Bailey and Benjamin Creme teachings. In his Research Report #2, he tells of something he was led to by a spirit guide – what he terms “Neo-Pentecostalism.” An aberrant branch of Pentecostalism, this is more commonly known as the “Manifest Sons of God.” That movement is also referred to as “Sonship or “Overcomers.” Ramsey concludes based on even less evidence...

Jesus Christ Returning In Manifest Sons of God and Their Dominionism via End Times Prophetic, Prophecy, Visions, Dreams, Revelation, Christian Blog May 30th, 2009 at 16:24
A comment by NOLR History that I wanted to flag up - “The core theosophy from which the NOLR (New Order of the Latter Rain)/NAR (New Apostolic Reformation) was formed inevitably leads the participants to believe THEY ARE JESUS CHRIST COLLECTIVELY!! Moreover, they secretly (but now more openly) believe the Second Coming per Revelations 1:7 “Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him…” as a metaphor for the “Manifest Sons of God” (them) to corporately demonstrate, through [their] signs and wonders that Christ has returned and now resides/taken up residence in their bodies corporately. This is why the Copelands, the Hinn brothers, the Crouches, etc. can say arrogantly “I am” as they believe Christ is fused with their soul. Of course they are all doomed...

I don’t think it does any harm to repost similar information, especially when it is on a subject so important. The following article is from P J Miller’s site - “Joel’s Army Teachings: They teach the deification of man and deny exclusive deity of God. Proponents of this teaching believe we will be as God and that this army literally BECOMES Christ! They teach and believe in the immortality and glorification of the elect “New Breed” or “Manifested Sons of God” aside from the literal presence of Christ. They believe that scripture is NOT the ONLY source of redemptive truth but rather there is progressive revelation through angelic visitations, dreams, and visions that are discouraged from being examined in the light of scripture. Their agenda is...

...God's great end-time army is being prepared to execute God's written Judgments with Christ's victory and divine judgment decrees that have already been established in heaven. The time is set when they will be administered and executed on earth through God's saintly army. All that is destined and needed will be activated during God's restorational Army of the Lord Movement."

The bold emphasis used in the article is my own. Year of Jubilee? or Age of Aquarius Disguised? “Rev.

1st Corinthians 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not;
Ephesians 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
