Wrong (again). The Scripture CLEARLY states that the rainbow is a forward-looking sign, not a backward-looking one.

Genesis 8:

11 And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
Its a way of Him remembering. . . a reminder to His own self... .like tying a string around the finger . . he cannot deny his own self.

Yes it looks forward as a metaphor of peace. Not something to seek after as a "sign gift" . Sent a postcard on the next visit as a exist sign. the sign gift as a photo can last longer.

A person can buy a prism but it will not bring the peace of God. His peace surpasses all human understanding as the peace of faith .the unseen Holy place reserved for our Holy father in heaven . Maybe the peace of different colors. They say it works in color therapy.? or tie dye theory. Just don't argue with the therapist . And today there is already a group that seeks after that sign, as a sign witness. or "sign gift".

Show the EVIDENCE that proves your assertion.
Hi Dino thanks for the reply...

The proof is in the pudding (sola scriptura) I would ask . Is God brining NEW PROPHECY (God's word) as the tongue of God after any manner to include tongues or is that possibilities sealed up with 7 seals to the end of time? ?

Show the EVIDENCE that proves your assertions.

Need more words of w eternal life than he has given us? How will you know when it's enough? The four hundred year silent period between the testaments was to much for some that had a private interpretation, another source of faith not of Christ. .One day was to much for them that have no faith as eye pleasers they have their reward of no faith. .as their daily wonder bread.

When he comes on the last day will he find faith as it is written?

The law of the fathers called sola scriptura, as it is written a "heresy" but they could not prove it .

Paul said rather than worshipping the fathers (many) as if they were in the place of our unseen Holy Father in heaven.

Paul worshipped the Father as one Holy Father. They simply usurped the unseen authority of God as many gods as fathers .

The faithless fathers did not want to shoot themselves in the foot so they walked away not believing God according to sola scriptura (all things written in the law and the prophets) .There nemesis that seeks its due . . . They tried to make it without effect as some do today multiple sources of faith. Just believe. . .and your dream wil come true The wish upon a star name it claim it religion .. . seeing is believing ...out of sight out of mind, Supper Fly 15 minutes of fame religion . ,

Acts 24:12-14 King James Version (KJV)And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city: Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me. But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:

Again Paul did not worship the fathers multiple as if they were God. . . turning things upside down taking away the understanding of (sola scriptura)

Now you're implying that God is forgetful instead of humbly admitting your error.

You responded to me earlier with the following:

"I know exaclrtly (sic) what I man (sic) talking about you are the one that goes above that which is as it written exclusively."

You accused me. I requested evidence that I have done such things. You have provided nothing to support your accusation.

Either support your accusation against me with evidence from my words, or withdraw it.

Hello everyone.

I have a question concerning dreams and visions. Very often i have visions and dreams but I am new when it comes to discerning where they come from , God, evil or myself.
My question is , does anyone of you know how to discern dreams and visions .
For example today i had a vision of a shadow flying and then for many minutes when i was lying in my bed i felt a cooling air around my body . It was very weird but i had peace .
I want to hear from God but I don’t want to be deceived as i know evil can come as an angel of light.
I would appreciate your wisdom .
God bless you
Only God knows the interpretation. So it's ok to ask Him what these things mean. Ask and wait. God will speak your very own personal symbolism that is between two people, HIM and YOU. Discernment is one thing while divine interpretation is another. God helped Joseph with the meaning of Pharaohs dream and God gave the meaning to Nebuchadnezzar's dream using Daniel. Take note the Prophet gets his interpretation from God. After all these dreams and visions are arranged by God...[Gen 41:32 YLT] 32 'And because of the repeating of the dream unto Pharaoh twice, surely the thing is established by God, and God is hastening to do it.

I know I ask Him to bring it to my remembrance so I can ask the meaning, He always does.

Many times you have said and supported the idea God is still brining new revelations which is different than saying a person has a belief or a ministry under the existing word..

You still have not answered directed as to what the sign in 1 Corinthian 14 does confirm as to a law not subject to change? Like many it seems you sty away form the foundation of the law as it reveals those who refuse to hears all things written in the law and the prophets (sola scriptura) making it to no effect through the oral tradition of sinful men

Sola scriptura below is the reforming authority in any generation...Yet for all that they still refused to believe the tongue of God -prophecy .What does the sign confirm?

For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: Isaiah 28:10

Tongues is prophecy .God is no longer bringing new revelation after any manner . Sola scriptura is the Christian defense as the Armor of God. . We are to go above all things written in the law and the prophets (sola scriptura) . it what makes the devil flee. No such thing a sign gift... We walk by faith the unseen eternal, not after the temporal as to what the eyes see.

Have I ever suggested that any modern "revelation" is to be considered an addition to the Scripture?

No. Rather, I have specifically denied such a suggestion.

It's time to withdraw the accusation.
