So it's now you remember your fourth point (gift of discernment), after one must have been led astray by your first three points angry
Oh now you know there are more to what you think you know, you only see the vastness of this Creation from the one sided religious view.

Who said anything about patronising evil here?! Without knowing it you praise evil or d.evil by elevating it. You contradict yourself. Without Power can there be magic?! Magic or any other wrong/dark(dimmed)/evil use of this Power, is inferior and as such short lived with no lasting value..... it's like going for golden-tinsel thinking it's gold. That's why it's called dark power ie, dimmed power; the dimming of the potent pure radiant Power from God.
It's like polluting pure water. Who says foul water cannot be used to cook soup? Is soup a bad thing? Do I need to advise anyone not to eat soup prepared with foul water?

What do you know of the concept of good? If I as a computer guru create a VIRUS and then come around to u with a solution, an ANTI VIRUS does that qualify my act as good?

Ok, I won't run to a magician, let me go to a prophet instead and then alas!it's a false prophet. ..What's the difference. You talk as if the spirit of discernment is sold in the market. Probably I should come to you for that.

I do not claim to know it so I can't say things like ABSOLUTELY!

People need only the Truth inherent in the pure unadulterated Teachings of Jesus and adhere to It to be free. There re many things Christ would have taught us but man was not ripe for it at that time. He then promised the Spirit of Truth.

I am open to knowledge and truth. ..

So please don't try to confine us in your box.


I'm clapping. You really catch my drift smiley

That's true, knowledge is progressive and intimacy with the Holy Spirit is the only way to guide and guard against error.

I agree, this is true.
