Janosky:They were perfect yet had a flaw in them that allowed them to "become "rebellious, forsook their God given duties and fell into sin"? Hey! I didn't know angels were created perfect! And spirits too? |
EmperorHarry:What do you mean by "added or removed from this holy books"? Do holy books write themselves? |
EmperorHarry:Really? The people who could not focus on one simple rule of "don't eat the fruit of this tree" will focus on ten commandments "and it would become a part of them"? When? In 3019? But let me work with you here. You heard of some guy called Jesus Christ? He went and simplified the entire Bible down to "love each other, and God", very easy exceedingly simple two commandments. How well we doing Emperor with just two commandments? Have these two commandments "become a part of us" yet, we've had them 2000 years? Yet, fast forward. Imagine 5019. 3000 years from now. The one commandment, the ten commandments, the two commandments, the "lamentations, Malachi, Micah, Hosea etc" commandments and so many more commandments will all become a part of us. You just wish they'd become a part of us already is what. But remember. When we began we didn't know serpents don't talk. Some still think demons do! I'm going go listen to those books you mentioned to see if you have a point Emperor. |
LoJ:The amount of whatever it was that made them put that picture there. In 3D! I think that's close to what we are trying to name. The how to. |
LoJ:Lavender.

The first is now. Second is before before. What did you expect!

Janosky:A perfect Adam can sin? How come? |
[url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+9%3A1-6&version=NKJV]Luke 9:1-6[/url] You have received power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. You are to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. When you enter a thread, write there. And if what you write is not received leave that thread and shake off the very dust from your phone, laptop, pc, brain as a testimony against them. Okay, you might not have received the power and authority, or what you write might not be right (after all, it's not like you are the only one with a mind!), so stay in that thread and learn. And remember, even silence sometimes works amazing feats. |
kkins25:I don't quite have God's image to compare with, sorry. |
Janosky:“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Rom 3:23 I wouldn't say the above is false since even without Adam's sins, I fall short by myself. And even 5:12 has its standing in that I continue to commit the sin Adam sinned. But that Adam's sin is my sin too, that's harsh. Would God really punish one for the sins of another? |
Confession My eyes don't work as well as they used to so I have not been reading the books I said I would read. I'm listening instead with the devices below. The beauty is I get to 'read' each book more than once - four five times to be precise, and wherever I happen to go. Nothing beats a 1am walk listening to the Word of God.

ThothHermes:Nice one. Your's and LoJ's sounds like the [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+2%3A7&version=KJV]breath of life[/url] that God breathed into the dust of the ground that made humans become a living soul. Note how God formed man of dust first before breathing life into it. And this was after the initial creation of humans in God's own [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+1%3A26-27&version=KJV]image[/url]. Might it be consciousness, or awareness, I wonder? |
edward1106:And how do you know this? |
LoJ:Lol! |
LoJ:Na. That's just another theistic way of saying holy spirit! We going to have to work on this it seems. |
EmperorHarry:But, it is not the holy books that make people do what they do but their (mis)understanding of it. I mean, because God in Deuteronomy is said to command the Israelites to murder and steal peoples' lands, that's no reason to justify Hitlerism, after all, Jesus the Son of God said love those neighbours. Squaring the circle is what one is presented with often with what you call "irrelevant details", an exercise that develops the mind. |
LoJ:I don't suppose it would help if I changed it to Holy Spirit? Perhaps give me a non-theistical name for it please. There must be one. |
Tfbaby:That is my opinion. |
Miles231:Have you tried free epubs? The Collected Works of C. G. Jung : Aion |
KidsNEXTdoor:Daddy Freeze has ministered to him! |
ochibuogwu5:Too good not to have it's own thread! |
ochibuogwu5: |
onlyinJESUS:No! But if you are saved you will do good works. |
MrPresident1:Because their works were of wickedness and not of love, and every imagination of the thoughts of their heart was only evil continually. |

bloodofthelamb:Blood, I do agree with you, somewhat. Jesus is so benevolent with his love, and not for what we do but simply because we are human. After all, scripture clearly states that "for God so loved the world". I, myself, would not trust that God does not extend that benevolence to goats and sheep too who do no work, after all we've all heard of the birds and the bees that work not. But can I be of Christ and claim "I am justified"? Or should I even justify others? Who made me God, blood? But even after accepting that love of Christ and the power therein, would that love and power not manifest in me and produce much fruit so that God in heaven be glorified? I believe faith without works that produce fruits is like salt that has lost its saltiness. Christ did give two commands, love God, which is work, and love one another, which is even more work considering how nasty neighbours can be at times. And no, I am not suggesting one is justified by ones work, but that work still needs to be done, unless one thinks singing aleluya is all God requires. I am a Jamesiam I guess, so my faith (the Power of Christ in me) manifests in what I do which is my works, my conduct and my behaviour. Though that's no reason to go about claiming I have done work so therefore I am justified or righteous! As I've said here, claiming righteousness is arrogance. The Pharisee tried it and Christ's retort is clear, “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” However worshipping God is itself work, especially when one considers worshipping God to mean the love one must have for one's neighbour. Or do you not see how much work one must have done in order to be able to turn the other cheek? And is not written that in as much as ye have worshipped the least of these the God in heaven is [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+5%3A16&version=KJV]worshipped45[/url]? And yet, they are not for righteousness, which I must be careful not to practice in front of others to be seen by them, or I will have no reward from the Father in heaven". Though some claim works are irrelevant, I do not believe they believe they should therefore do no work (it is here that I agree with you, bloodofthelamb), and scripture is clear on this fact! I bet we all work, even if its preaching the gospel. As for being righteous though, I leave that to God to decide. |
Since op seems to be of the fashion of deleting his mistakes, I'm quoting this for when he errs again. jesusjnr2: |
LoJ:Or a fourth, LoJ. One can request the assistance of the Holy Ghost, whom the Father sent in Christ's name to teach all things and bring all things to one's understanding. |
Tfbaby:Indeed. Yet some men choose to not be saved by their own freewill. |
Ihedinobi3:buda never said you said God forced anyone to choose anything, ihe! But then, it surprises me not that you misunderstand since your writing is as unclear as your ability to comprehend, it would seem. Your position, so you understand it is that God has already chosen for one so one has no choice at all! Ihedinobi3:Yes it does ihe! |
