Biblical Mary!

Rev 22:16 Hope this helps arthurfleminger It's ok to be wrong.Work on being right.
I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

as you can see, I'm having lunch but thought I would take the time out to tell you that you might need a vacation

We have One Father and the One Mother who is Heavenly Jerusalem - the Mother of us all.

"but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all" Galations 4:26

When you say true prophet are you talking about someone who says: "God told me"; or, "thus sayeth the Lord?"

You are the BEST my Sister - lolx1000 - thank you

you are a raccoon!

That is like someone saying: because there are false christs you refuse to believe in Christ.

Then you're not a real person, for everybody share frustrations in life, saved or not. I live in a fleshly body, therefore I get frustrated.
extra -Biblical - Pertaining to information or content outside the Bible.
Acts 11:27Now in these days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28And one of them named Agabus stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over all the world (this took place in the days of Claudius). 29So the disciples determined, every one according to his ability, to send relief to the brothersd living in Judea. 30And they did so, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
How was Agabus known as a prophet BEFORE this scripture was written? By his other prophecies that weren't in the Bible. Most of Agabus's prophecies were "extra-biblical" because they weren't written in the Bible. Does that make all the others false, & this one true?Of course not. That would be foolish. True prophecy is backed by scripture.
Yes they do. Yet many good churches are suffering loss of income, loss of members, & less services/ministries while the worldly flourish.
Bethel is part of the body of Christ? Bill Johnson, who teaches grave sucking, claims gold dust fell in his "church", teaches the prosperity gospel, member of the NAR, is a christian? And you thought I was judging harshly?
My so-called broad brush painting is believing God's word & whoever rebels from His word is a rebel. No spiritual rebel has a place in the Kingdom of God.
Now saying some rebelling sinners go to Heaven & others to Hell would be real broad brush painting, don't you think? Selah.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!! You really don't believe that Jesus called Mary his mother. She was His mother, simple as that. And Jesus remained obedient to both Joseph and Mary, honor thy father and mother. It was a normal Mother/Son relationship: Luke 2:51 51Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart.

Neither. If a person prophesies & it doesn't come to pass he/ she is false. If it does, he/she is true.

Even then some false prophets copy the real ones & repeat what they say.

Praying to Mary, as i have personally done and witnessed to my mothers demise, is a false gospel.

“The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?
I, the Lord, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings.

Jeremiah 17:9-10

I am careful when I talk about the Catholic Church. There is the catholic church (the church, universal) and there is the Catholic Church (the church from Rome).

I am always sure to include 'Roman" when talking about the Roman Catholic Church. When speaking, people can't hear capital letters.

All believers are part of the catholic church; the body of Christ in heaven and on earth, but only some are members of the Roman Catholic Church, the church from Rome.

Peace,

I agree. But today's church doesnt know that "catholic" means universal, or that true christians are part of that "universal" church.
Since Roman Catholicism muddied the name "catholic", I no longer use the term, for it's now confusing.

PEACE

Personally, as a former disciple of the RCC, i would never use the word universal to describe the Body of Christ.

That word never is used in Scripture, from where i have researched, but this word is; 'ONE'.

'ONE' shows up in many places referring to Christ and the Father and the Holy Spirit as well as to those who are washed in His Blood and are "called out".
In Israel, before our LORD, there was only to be ONE Temple, in Jerusalem, for all nations to seek after God - on earth.

Today, there is only ONE Temple of God which is His Body, His Elect, His Saints, His Living Stones, His Called Out Ones.

It is important to also note that there is NO universal church on earth where we can find God.
Baptist, Pentecostal, Lutheran, Methodist, Calvary Chapel, Non Denominational, Roman Catholic, etc.

Not one of these labels will our LORD accept = No entrance permitted into God's Presence.
God searches the hearts - HE knows those who are HIS.

God continues to 'call us out' from things that are not of Him.

"And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. 5For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities." Revelation 18

These things i say as a former RCC disciple and now as a one who has been washed in His Blood and filled with His Holy Spirit,
not according to the will of the flesh(religion) but by the Will of Him who called us out of darkness and translated us into the Kingdom of the Love of His Son - Amen.

So you believe true prophets operate today. If they prophesy, and it comes to pass, aren't they essentially saying "thus sayeth the Lord?"

The phrase "thus saith the Lord" doesn't have any particular value to me because many use it for tradition's sake.
When a true prophet speaks, it's as if God Himself is speaking to His church. You must understand if God speaks through His servant, then His Spirit will convict(convince) the people of its worth & truth.

Not only are we not on the same page, we're not even in the same book.

I don't believe God speaks extra-Biblically. So in my view, all so-called prophets who claim to have a message directly from God, whether they come to pass or not, are false. We don't need prophets to give us messages form God, we have the scriptures; that's His message to us.

You said a few posts back (#50) that false prophets ruin the testimony of true prophets; I'm saying all prophets—in the sense you seem to mean prophet—are false.

It was used before the advent of the Roman Church to describe the church as a whole. It is a term I use when speaking from the perspective of God.

I am quite comfortable using it, but if it throws you off I understand. When I am speaking with Roman Catholics, however, I never use the word "catholic" I always refer to their church as the "Roman Church".

Such things I've said ("Roman Church", "catholic", etc.) have led to friendships. For those who have an ear to hear... they become curious and ask questions. After much discussion, and I share with them what God shows me about them, they realize that the Lord knows them and that our meeting is not by chance.
