This tread should be titled just that "let me share my "truth" only I know about, with my bonus corrections"
This is a leaf out of your own book, a thought that came into your mind. that thought is your attitude. this thought is also another fly that put more rubbish in your head

It would be one thing if you were in here to exchange thoughts.
But you see yourself as an authority with "special revelation"

Correcting anyone and everyone in here.

In fact you believe ANYONE not making the grand canyon leap with you into some " special revelation" is basically a demon.

You demonize most everything

You also claim a revelation that NO OTHER CHRISTIAN possesses.

Nope
Not buying it for a second.

Any curses you hurl at me are immediately returning to you.

My bible says " an undeserved curse can not find rest."

Dont even think witchcraft can have any effect on me.
Zero
The blood is sufficient and my God is up to any task.
You can not touch me at all.
more trollish comments. really give your head a wobble and grow up.

I know what it says.
I dont threaten you.

You make threats.

You are not of God.

You think i am your enemy


But you have made satan so powerful in your mind that your " special revelation" has you actually reframing the word of God.
You even think satan corrupted Gods word.

The bible ends with the declaration of the pretrib rapture.
The closing thoughts of Gods word is the rapture.
correction you have threatened me many times. even your avatar is a threat and your username. so once again grow up

It says he overcomes the saints.
Stop acting like you know what you are talking about.
correction you stop acting like you do, so this is enough tit for tat for me now. I gave you ample oppertunity to be civil. you spat it right back at me. so this is just a taste of your own medicine. but no doubt you wont except responcability, and i will have to put you on another weeks ignor

de-emerald said:

The spirit God etc is described as light in the bible in John the bible quotes God is light. Thus being the reason God is every where. when you look up to the sky at night his stars (Light) strecth billions of light years apart.

His kingdom (light) has no end, truly i say to you if ye have a piece of that light the size of a tiny mustard seed. ye will say to that mountain move and it will move. thus that light will seperate the darkness from the light with the upmost authority amen.



But herein lies the issue. With all due respect, that's not what Jesus said. Yes, God is described as the light, and even more so Jesus gave us the commission of the being the light and salt of the earth. So I am not undermining the scriptural basis of light. It reveals secrets and reveals the inner-workings of the darkness. And I do think that Satan is afraid of this for the simple fact is that he is not operating outside of God's view. Satan knows that if the people in charge of maintaining the culture of God on earth KNOW about his plans and what he is doing, they can come against it. Satan's greatest weapon against mankind is ignorance. One of Jesus' strength was knowing what Satan was up to because his Light revealed everything. The bible says that nothing is hidden from God. That darkness and light are the same to him. And the power of our prayers against him can only be effective if what he is doing in the darkness has been revealed by light.
@DrGuyPhD I agree with everything you have wrote here apart from what you quoted about with all due respect that us not what Jesus said, could you explain this. because its not clear you have shown something i have said.
My original post was refering to light being the authority, and not so much the command,
My post here is backing that up and refering to God being light. so then you must have to see kingdom of heaven as being light also.

This is my point that when Jesus says the kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed. we must see the mustard seed as light also. and we must also see having a little faith as having a little mustard seed of light planted in us. Because Jesus is describing it that way. maybe youve miss understood what im referencing.

Where there is a falsehood (lie or error) recorded in Scripture, it is clearly identified as such either in the immediate context or in the wider context of Scripture. God's word is truth, and it is far better to assume that the words of Scripture are truth until the context tells you otherwise.
If all falsehood in the context of scripture is immeadiately identified as false and put right. The WHOLE WORLD would be christian, it isnt,
plainly also 98 percent of Jews in isreal would include the new testerment, they dont, they still go of the tora scrolls only. ive done my research only 2 percent of Isreal is christian.

Instead of making heretical assertions, perhaps you should try to understand the nature and purpose of the Old Testament law.

By the way, the word is "testAment" not "testerment". You could look up these words for yourself, if you cared to do so.
Perhaps i allready have, perhaps your asuming more falshood of me.

How you fail to recognise is beyond me, Jesus clearly is at confrontation with Jews and scribes over and over again in scripture. for them miss repersenting the spirit which i showed you which you are still dismissing.

Yes.
Did he allow Satan to kill the wife and children of faithful Job just to win a wager as to the strength of Job's faithfulness? When Sovereign God is Omniscient, the answer in his word is, yes.
How anyone can see playing with somebodies life is a wager, it is the same as saying hey Jesus if you throw your self of that cliff you will not die and this will prove to me you are the son of God, or satan,,, saying to adam and eve if you eat from that tree you will surely live.

The gambling of peoples life is glorified temptation from demons.

Thats right im telling you satan loves to glorify temptation, like saying how beautiful adultery is, or how beautiful the experinence of drugs can be, etc.

demons think its glorious to decieve anyone. master at turning nothing in to something and something into nothing. lIke Gods word.

If people are tormented by demons, and Jesus does not always stop it before it happens, doesn't that mean he 'allows' it? What kind of question is that?
Im sorry i have a hard time believing Jesus allow glorified temptation by not preventing it in the first place

No, I am carrying on that the Word of God from Genesis to Revelation is Holy Spirit guided and Inspired.
Ok you base this on one scripture saying all scripture is from God in timothy, this is the truth that your using this argument to be the truth of all scripture. its a bit of a floor.. because if i was to use many other scriptures to apply the same reasoning, then where would we be ? (like if i just took any one scripture and said this is how you should view the whole bible.)
Theres no doubt that God tells the truth about lies in the bible. but does that make it holy spirit inspired. the lies that is. if everyone shared this point of view would the Jews have treated Jesus the way they did.

Psalm 103
New International Version

Psalm 103
Of David.
1 Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6 The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all the oppressed. From all who are oppressed.(from demons)

7 He made known his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people of Israel:
8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 He will not always accuse, (Satan is the wicked accuser day and night of Gods children)
nor will he harbor his anger forever; (satan will)
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve (satan does)
or repay us according to our iniquities. (satan does)
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
15 The life of mortals is like grass,
they flourish like a flower of the field;
16 the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.
17 But from everlasting to everlasting
the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children—
18 with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts. (Satan deosnt do this)

19 The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over all.

20 Praise the Lord, you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his bidding,
who obey his word.
21 Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,
you his servants who do his will.
22 Praise the Lord, all his works
everywhere in his dominion.
Praise the Lord, my soul.

"""Ill go through some of those lies
Satan tells adam and eve they will surely live if they eat from the tree of life.
Satan is walking around as an angel of light.
The enemy is a liar and a thief.
The enemy is the great deciever.
jacob decieves his father.
satan will set him self up as God in this world.
Satan will exalt himself higher than the heavens."""

Which one is a lie?
Or should we say , " in your mind which one is a lie"

You made the claim
Post the verses

yes i agree, with you, the reality is Jesus (God) wasnt Just falsley accused. the whole of isreal was left to believe Jesus was a liar a blasphemer and evil, such was there hatred towards Jesus, the Jews favored a murederer rather than Jesus.

@Pilgrimshope @JaumeJ @1ofthem @Absolutely @AandW @Mem @Dino246 @Magenta @Lucy-Pevensie @glen55 @Gideon300 @Runningman @Ahwatukee @tourist. @Blade @Rolly @Nehemiah6 @presidente @posthuman @Kidron @azsheepdog @DrGuyPhD @Icedaisey @GRACE_ambassador @CS1 @Ogom

This is a big reality Jesus was accused of working with demons to perform healing and perform spiritual exorcism. ie Jesus was thought of as sommoning demons to use there super natural powers to perform healing and spiritual exorcism. Now Jesus told the Jews no i call the holy spirit to do my work not demons. But yet did the jews did not believe him. (in job 1 if you read bwtween the lines where told we should believe that god works with demons to kill people) this is crazy. reading Job 1 is like reading a re run of where Jesus is accused of working with Demons. in Job 1 if you read between the lines Jesus is again repesented as working with demons. quite clearly we are hearing this story from proven liars in the new testerment, Jesus clearly calls the Jews hipocrits and that there father is of the devil. Jesus clearly tells us that the Jews are believing all sorts of lies (the jewa retaliate calling Jesus all sorts of liar. The clear truth from Jesus is he does not work with demons. How on earth can we keep our faith if we believe Jesus works with demons, what would you say to a christian sect that uses a quija boards (weegie boards to summon demons) ? I think you would all dissmiss that and call them evil.
You are very confused in your thinking. For one thing, God, in the book of Job, is God and not a man.

Does God allow people to experience some of the things in Job? Based on your observation in the modern world, are there people who lose their children or belonging in storms? Are any ever killed by enemies in wars? Does God allow some people to get painful or itchy skin diseases? is it your position that none of these things ever happen to anyone, that God never allows such things?

The second issue is that God is God. There are all kinds of spiritual entities that exist, angels, demons, cherubim, seraphim. We humans have spirits, too. Demons know that God is the most powerful being. They tremble. So they know God is God, too. There are limitations as to what they can do. Satan wanted God to lift a hedge of protection from around Job, which He did. That is not the same thing as a human being doing divination by demonic power. You are a human being. You are not God. You are not the highest power over all beings in the universe. And God did not command Himself never to speak to Satan. Here is a key problem with your line of reasoning-- God is God and you are not.

Some lesser issues here are that you assume angels and demons are the same type of creature, and that Satan and demons are the same type of creature, and that is not universally accepted and certainly wasn't historically. You also assume Satan in the book of Job is the Devil in the New Testament. That may be the case, but 'satan' is an adversary or opposor. In this case, maybe something like a D/A or prosecutor. The angel that opposed Balaam is called a satan.

what would of happened if Jesus said yes i use demons to cast out demons or demons can heal people at my command. could you imagine how many people would be summoning demons,,,
This is a totally different issue from Job. The Holy Spirit was at work in Christ. Some of Christ's opponents wrongly labeled the Spirit as Baalzebub. That is different from God allowing a spirit to do something on the earth. Jesus did not teach in this passage that God never puts limitations or lifts them on spirits that test men, or the Devil, or various principalities or powers.

ps actually you know many people around the world do summon demons for the reason that they believe the jews that they can be used for there powers.

Crazy but true. ive done my research,,
That is not a new idea from my perspective. Maybe it is to some Christians influenced by modernism.
I strongly believe That God came down from heaven to tell the Jews many things, and to put many lies of the devil to shame.
So then are you saying that God allows the Devil to lie?

I think God also ment what he said that he does not allow satan to kill children like in Job 1 or terment people ,
So if children die, then do you think the Devil never ever has anything to do with it?

jesus tells us in the new testerment that who ever harms my children has no place with me.
How about sticking with actual quotes from Jesus and go from there? Speculating and making stuff up is one of the problems with your posts in this thread.

This is quite clear that Jesus is saying Satan has miss repesented me in the old testerment.
No, Jesus believed the Bible. Is getting people NOT to believe the Bible more along the lines of the work of Christ or the work of Satan?

If the Bible does not fit with your view of things, change your view of things. You should learn from the book of Job instead of taking the approach you are taking. Some Christians have difficulty understanding Job because their understanding of things is lacking and they need to learn more.

(we must put there words right in the holy bible is what Jesus wanted etc).

Jesus is basically saying enough here i am, witness all my mirracles also believe that i am God. also believe me that i do not work with physopathic child killers like demons who walk around saying i told told them to go and kill children.
Good morning, De-emerald. God doesn't work with demons. It rains on the just and the unjust.

In Job's time, people didn't quite understand that concept. They thought if someone was good and followed all the rules then they would be rewarded on this earth and would never have to face any suffering in life. Kind of like the prosperity Gospel folks of today.

We know this isn't true "it rains on the just and the unjust." God didn't work with Satan to torture Job. He just simply removed the hedge of protection that he had around him.

There is a really good lesson in the book of Job. Just because we are Christians, it doesn't mean that we will never have any problems in this life. Jesus also suffered, and we know that we will also suffer in this world.

Many things in the Bible are spiritually discerned. That's why a sinner can't really understand the message of the Bible. The Pharisees/scribes didn't really understand the message, either. So they were misrepresenting the message. The Old Testament never lied. They just didn't have any discernment and didn't understand it.
