1. Make your message clear enough not to be misinterpreted. That is we should do our best

I apologise for the earlier misunderstanding but still he wasn't prophesied to by the Holy Spirit not to go, and until we can differentiate between human opinion and the leading of the Holy Spirit we will find our selves in situations where we think the spirit of God is saying things contrary to the word of God.


A prophet was needed when the disciples gave the message based on their feelings. It's not the first time the book of acts shows such correction and growth and how the Holy Spirit handles things.

If we say the Holy Spirit Paul then that means Paul disobeyed his command, meanwhile such didn't occur.

Writing things like this is also a cause of error in the body of Christ
"You think it was not the Spirit of God that spoke through the disciples that said he shouldn't go? Yes, it was the Spirit of God."

It's not what I think, but what I know the Spirit of God does not contradict the word of God, irrespective of whatever or however Luke or the others write or our translations.
Really?

When Isaiah was told by God to tell a King that he would die
Did the whole situation not change?

Normally

what translation did you use.

Another point where there are errors and false teachings in the church is as a result of some translations and interpretations of written texts.

Let's read some

Acts.21.4 And finding disciples, we stayed there seven days. They told Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem. (NKJV)

Acts.21.4 we looked up the local disciples and stayed with them seven days. Their message to Paul, from insight given by the Spirit, was "Don't go to Jerusalem." (MSB)

Acts.21.4 Finding the disciples there, we stayed with them seven days. Through the Spirit they urged Paul not to go on to Jerusalem. (NIV)

Acts.21.4 And having looked up the disciples there, we remained with them for seven days. Prompted by the [Holy] Spirit, they kept telling Paul not to set foot in Jerusalem. (AMP)


We found the Lord's followers there and stayed with them for seven days. They warned Paul not to go to Jerusalem because of what the Spirit had told them. (ERV)
You are even buttressing the fact that it was a prophecy with these versions you posted 🙂

I read it, but reading and understanding are two different things

The disciples saw what was going to happen through the Holy Spirit and they pleaded with him not to go. It's a very normal and usually reaction

When prophet Agabus came he only told him what would happen to him in Jerusalem and not a command for him not to go.
Nooooooo
All the Bible versions I read said the same

Christianity EtcRe: How Can My "Pastor" Be Scripturally Wrong? by Sirmwill: 9:58am On Nov 30, 2024

nobody prophecied that he shouldn't go.

Such careless assumptions lead to the false teachings we are talking about
Me
I'm not giving you false teachings or anything oo

I'm telling you that it, you should not obey strictly whatever your Pastor says or tells you. It's totally wrong if you do that.
Instead
You should obey strictly and wholeheartedly what Jesus has said as it is written in the Bible. That is the main thing. The foundation of the new Covenant as described in Hebrews.
See what happened to Paul. He was prophecied to by the Spirit that he should not Go to Jerusalem and when He went, God commended him for going and wanted him to also go to Rome for the same thing.
You think it was not the Spirit of God that spoke through the disciples that said he shouldn't go? Yes, it was the Spirit of God. But, based on their own mentality. Theirs was based on Fear
Paul's mentality was based on Love which Jesus commanded.And God,commended him for it.
What Jesus commanded is more important than what any great pastor or prophet or anyone anywhere will tell you that God said. You need to know this
Christianity EtcRe: How Can My "Pastor" Be Scripturally Wrong? by Sirmwill: 9:49am On Nov 30, 2024
And meeting the disciples we were there for seven days: and they gave Paul orders through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem. (Act 21: 4)


This is Prophecy!

You need to know something


When Paul was going to Jerusalem to preach, some specific people prophesied in the name of God that he should not go

And meeting the disciples we were there for seven days: and they gave Paul orders through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem. (Act 21: 4)

That was through the spirit of God oo

Now

Another set of people again did the same
11. And he came to us, and took the band of Paul's clothing, and putting it round his feet and hands, said, The Holy Spirit says these words, So will the Jews do to the man who is the owner of this band, and they will give him up into the hands of the Gentiles. 12. And hearing these things, we and those who were living in that place made request to him not to go to Jerusalem. (Act 21: 11-12)

Now
When Paul went to Jerusalem, look at what God told Paul himself

And the night after, the Lord came to his side and said, Be of good heart, for as you have been witnessing for me in Jerusalem, so will you be my witness in Rome. (Act 23: 11)

This is a very solid example of people even Giving Prophecy i.e speaking the mind of God about something which the person (Paul in this case) went against and still went to Jerusalem and God commended him for it as you see in Acts 23:11
God was happy with Paul that he said that he would also go to Rome to do the same thing he has come to Jerusalem to do

Here Goes a Detailed Answer


The major thing Jesus commanded us being put in summary is
"Love the Lord your God with all your Heart" and " Love your neighbor as Yourself"

The second one totally goes against what you are doing.
It is very simple.
Whatever Good you want for yourself, want the same for your neighbors.Anyone around you. Anyone you meet.
Those guys, they are people's children right?
Except you probably in some mysterious ways accept and believe that what they are doing is totally Good.I mean, if it was Jesus they told physically, if Jesus would have told them they are doing the right thing. They should continue. But!
If you believe that what they are doing is totally evil. Scamming both non-innocent and innocent people.Stealing most of their life savings from them.Putting them into debt that they may never recover from for life. If you believe that this goes against the Love that Jesus commanded, then you know that you won't want your own children to become Fraudsters.
If You would'nt want your children to grow up to become scammers, why should you want it for the children of other people.
"Love your neighbor as Yourself"
If you won't want a particular bad thing for yourself, you shouldn't want it for another person.
If you truly love these Fraudsters the way Jesus loves them, you would totally tell them to stop.
You would put them in prayers.
You would intercede for them that God should touch their hearts as you speak to them against what they are doing.
If God sees your heart that truly, you are saying all of these from your heart, it would swiftly work out. When there is Love, there is God.

Is it about your finances and your Family, is God not able to provide for your needs exceedingly abundantly above what you ask or think of ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKS IN YOU.
Now, don't think that Power is some power you now have to ask from God. Noooo.
That power comes from Love.
"For God has not given you the Spirit of fear(About your finances, how would you eat in this economy situation, your children schooling, clothing, housing, etc) but of Power(which comes from) Love and Sound mind. "
When you do something in Love, the power to overcome that fear comes and that power is the power that works in you that makes God to do exceedingly abundantly great above what you ask or think of.

I hope you see the light in this things I have said 🙂

Now
Let me tell you the other side of things
Do you love Jesus?
Do you know it is not by singing or praying that you love Jesus
Once can pray long hours, fast for months, sing for weeks and no single Love for Jesus is in the person
Jesus said "If you love me, you would obey my commandments"

2 John 1:9 - "Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, has no relationship with God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. (2John 1: 9)

"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
(1John 2: 15)
For all that is in the world- the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions- is not from the Father but is from the world. (1John 2: 16)

Do you have the Love of the Father in you? See the criteria in 1 John 2:15 and 16 above

Do you have the Love of Jesus in you? You would have to obey his commandments first.


Now,if these Fraudsters are later caught,it would bring disgrace to you and God won't be happy about it because it would bring shame to the church also and you could have turned things around for better for you and even the Fraudsters themselves.
"Ye are the Light of the world"
When you show them this light and they accept and they stop fraud,there is total grace that covers them to come back to God.Exactly as described in the Parable of the prodigal son.
God is so much going to be happy that they come back to him.
Their ways would be made straight and they would have a better and bigger source of income.
You would make everything better with a single step of faith and Love(the greatest)

😊

Christianity EtcRe: Oh Lord, Arise by Sirmwill: 8:12am On Nov 30, 2024
Until you have a higher level of faith in where God said

"I am the Lord your God, I will fight your battle and you shall hold your peace"

You just praying a prayer of Assurance(the definition of Faith) that
" God, you are my Lord and you are fighting my battles for me and you have commanded me to only experience peace "
Remember
" Can Two work together except they agree"
If God has made the Agreement and it has been fulfilled in Jesus, then in my opinion and in what works for me, saying that God should arise is believing that God has not kept to his agreement because of how everything looks like at the moment. A prayer of God should arise is not bad(of course there are different levels of faith)... But, how about seeing God being faithful to his promise,seeing him already fighting your battle because he has said it and he exalts his word above his name. That's a Greater level of Faith
