But I was immediately captivated by his work demonstrating the heptadic structure of scripture. And what really resonates with me is that this Harvard educated man, versed in Hebrew and Greek, was known to be a firm agnostic! But he died a Christian. His explanation that each of the Gospels had to be written last sealed it for me. I knew it was divinely inspired. As someone raised Catholic, who attended Catholic elementary, high school and university, I began to view scripture in a completely different manner. And I began to believe in the supernatural.<br /><br />Praise to YHWH, the alpha and omega, the one true God. So many have turned their backs on Him. I often wonder if a discipleship will be formed in the End Times, to anchor the Christian faith, provide a beacon of hope and prepare the way for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224733997160352867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-73213107697086043672019-01-14T09:25:49.373-06:002019-01-14T09:25:49.373-06:00They are trying to add to your faith.

"We are to submit to the Word of God! Why do you refuse it, and cling instead to your cherished ideology? Without study you have declared an opinion. Without diligent searching, you have reached a conclusion? For this reason many perish in their confusion! You have spoken when you have no foundation to stand on. Your opinion is based on another's study, or on what you have learned by osmosis. Why is your faith in the words of a man rather than in the Word of God? My Word is there for the taking if you will devote the time and present your heart to Me. I long to speak to you, to have fellowship with you, but you refuse me and then you say you love Me. Your heart is deceived with flourishes and fantasies of how your group thinks it 'should be'. I am the Lord. I declare the end from the beginning. I know all things, and you are to simply believe Me. I will correct your mistakes and your errors if you ask Me to. Come to Me and let me renew your thoughts. Let Me tell you the hidden things that I have kept secret from the foundation of the world. Things that angels have desired to look in to. Let Me declare my love to YOU. I have loved you. But, you keep Me at arm's length when you refuse to hear what the Spirit is saying in favor of your own mythology".pameladarling1.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12021977171139692098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-28733572150535878932018-07-04T14:38:40.127-05:002018-07-04T14:38:40.127-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.pameladarling1.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12021977171139692098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-21030181817319266362018-06-26T14:01:51.691-05:002018-06-26T14:01:51.691-05:00Both of the articles you've posted in these co...Both of the articles you've posted in these comments are wonderful and well worth the time to read for all here.

One thing I might add, which I believe often causes the confusion which leads to these questions. I was Saved and Sealed as a very young girl and knew then and now unquestionably I was saved. After I grew to my teenage years and my father passed away I was backslidden for about 12 years. At the end of this time I was supernaturally "infilled with the Holy Spirit" which I did not understand, having been raised in a Southern Baptist Church. I was able to remember reading the scriptures which described the experience perfectly and questioned my Mother who had been my Sunday School Teacher. She assured me she had always been taught this "infilling" no longer happened and had ceased "in the previous dispensation". I now knew this was not correct because it happened to me. This was not a second sealing, but a filling to overflowing with the Holy Spirit. It was not induced by man, but was accompanied by the Laying on of Hands - which again I did not understand until I researched the scriptures and saw it happening there Word for Word. Don't confused Sealing and later Infilling to Overflowing - I think that's where people get confused. Is it necessary for Salvation? No. Is it immensely beneficial for life and holiness? Yes. I know it to be true for it happened to me with no explanation or intervention of mankind, thus I can speak directly to the truth experientially.

I do not care which element of the Body holds revealed truth given by Holy Spirit. I want truth. Truth is God's Word - the whole council of it and if we would just stop with the defense of man's systems and defend only the Truth of the Word of God as plainly written, we could accomplish so much more. The choice to do this must be a conscious one, wherein we humbly pray - "Lord I just want your truth, the whole truth as revealed in scripture, with all the man-made attachments stripped off. I want to be one with ALL my Brothers and Sisters in Christ for we are His Body." Yes we have different gifting and different strengths and we will never all be THE SAME. The heart is not a lung, the liver is not a pancreas - but when we finally wake up and can say with all our soul and strength. I do not understand everything about the lung, but I know it is necessary and I don't need to be exactly like it, but I want to understand it and work with it in the system called The Way. What a day of rejoicing that will be! That willingness alone will ultimately flush out the error and remove the dross while leaving the purified Gold of the Word of God for everyone within the Body.

He is an Old Testament scholar and shows clearly there was a time when Judaism understood the multi-faceted nature of Yahweh. As occurred in many other instances, this was stamped out in later times to refute Jesus' claim as part of this tri-une nature. He approaches the subject strictly from Old Testament and I sense that's where you would like to see it. He has many other resources and his Old Testament Bible Studies on Naked Bible Podcast are just not to be missed. With that being said, he is admittedly horrible when it comes to the prophetic. We would all do well to recognize and accept the strengths and weaknesses in our scholars as well as our churches. It is unnecessary to "throw out the baby with the bath water". To someone else's point about liturgy - can it be too much - absolutely. Is it necessary to do away with all of it - certainly not. Do evangelicals and charismatics go too far over to the extemporaneous side of the road and get off in the ditch? Most assuredly. We are all meant to be parts of ONE BODY. Truth is held within each part. When we hyper divide as denominationalism has done we see the Body as a box with Evangelicals in One Corner, Full Gospel in another, Catholic in another, etc. That is not the pattern we are given. We are to be a Body with flow through of blood and oxygen to each part allowing the truths to be shared and the error eliminated or at least minimized. We have organs of this body who are dying from lack of the gifting in other parts because we are a closed-off system. Each "organ" rather than a room, will have its strengths and its greater focus but should be sharing with and part of the other "organs". Many evangelicals have lost the Majesty and Glory wrapped up in the liturgy. Many Catholics have lost the Holy Spirit, by appealing to false spirits and it goes on and on. If the blood flow and oxygen were occurring the truth would move around the body - not be stopped at the doors. Sorry - off on a tangent. Never forget Jesus Himself tells us there are overcomers in all the churches. Are we approaching a time when the call may come to "Come out of her" - yes. Right now, though, each holds some tiny element at least of truth and we accept the truth and get rid of the detritus. Hard to make folks see and understand, but it would be so beneficial.

The 500 Years book you did is absolutely terrific and one should not be without it. When you run into those folks who are really seeking and willing to do some further research to get themselves out of "denominational systems" and into the Word of God and find truth, it is excellent. This effort, I'm sure would take it another step.

I've found his research and in-depth work, mostly from Scripture uncovers things on the topic which I had not tied together before. Always when that occurs and Holy Spirit is the driving force you then cannot see how you "didn't see" before. I bring this up in this regard - he has a chapter on the extra canonical or pseuda-pygrapha Book of Enoch rather harshly. I've enjoyed the books previously, but he makes some very clear points about their disputation of the Word of God. His point is there is abundant material within Scripture itself to be exceedingly accurate about what occurred during that time frame without going off into the weeds where you know you are facing absolute error in some, if not all, portions. I had not looked at it from that angle and can certainly see his point. I'll just spend more time in the Scripture henceforth!

They are all H2O molecules, jus...Ice, Water, Steam. They are all H2O molecules, just in different forms/arrangements/energy states. I even think God made this molecule specifically as a way to try and explain His nature, and set it as the foundation upon which all life relies upon... We even need it in the air we breathe or else our lungs begin to dry out and faster dehydration and overheating are not far behind. <br /><br />If He appeared as an Iceberg and proclaimed, 'I am water,' I don't feel like that would be untruthful. No matter the form, at the most basic level He is still water. If He then changed into a Lake or a Cloud, it's still Him... and He's still water, just in another form. <br /><br />So just as water is the title for the life sustaining and enabling molecule, God is the title for the Being above all beings. Looking back in the old testament, we see plenty of evidence that He took different forms then too. As a physical man, He talked to Abraham and wrestled with Jacob. As a burning bush and a being of light, He spoke to Moses. It appears He walked physically in the garden of Eden and spoke face to face with Adam, Eve and the serpent... He appears in Babylon as a disembodied hand writing on the wall, and as the 'Son of Man' in the fiery furnace. <br /><br />Jesus proves He is able to change His form as well. First on the mount of transfiguration where He showed His light being form, and also disguising His appearance on the road with His two desciples. Post resurrection, He was even appearing out of thin air, much to everyone's surprise. On Pentecost, I'm willing to bet those fiery tongues were Him as well, and that He can directly work through us to effect miracles now. After all, the Holy Spirit/Ghost appeared as a dove when He was baptized...<br /><br />He is God. Let Him do things as He wants to do them. Our part in this is to trust Him, believe in Him, and do our best to follow His commandment. Love one another. <3Kris Garrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717312288030500194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-70984572428767821092018-06-21T02:08:56.362-05:002018-06-21T02:08:56.362-05:00But God is completely truthful.
