hi Nick
so the ones who clame today that they have the Holy spirit from whom have they recieved it
?????Hi T,
Why do you believe everyone who claims to have the Holy Spirit?
We are told to test the spirits as most are following deceptive religious spirits.
The Father can bless any one of His children reborn of water who seek the Spirit.[Lk11]Gene,
You have told us we should not believe the bible but rely on spiritual guidance.
Why should you think you have credibility when you quote the bible?
When did you begin to prefer spiritual guides to truth?Hi T,
Certainly the words spoken by Jesus in Jn3, Peter in Acts 2 and Paul in Rom 6 have never been popular.
But truth is like that and if you want to SEE the kingdom you should obey.
Read Acts and note the behavior of the apostles to faith.Hi T,
Nothing has changed from when Jesus dispatched his anointed brothers in Acts.
Men have laboured in their own strength and foolish ideas to improve on the message.
They offer all sorts of other ways to enter the kingdom than the baptism into the door of Jesus.But Jesus calls such men thieves and robbers.
If you have heard the message and cannot receive it does that make you stony ground?Many will say LORD LORD to the judge and he will not know them.
hi nick
is this not what Jesus as said went he was with his apostels ,
Mat 11:19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
Mat 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
Mat 13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Mat 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
Mat 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
Mat 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Mat 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.ouy heart is the one who leans to one way or the other and this is good for everyone,so we ourselfs have to account for what we do.

* No. True Christians cannot possibly sin, because they are the children of God. Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God.. (I John 5:1).

No one born of God commits sin; for Gods nature abides in him, and he cannot sin because he is born of God (I John 3:9). But, then again, Yes!

1Co 1:23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,
1Co 1:25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.
1Co 2:14 The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1Co 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftinessPierre
Good & Evil / Truth & illusion
The current word of God or New Testament Bible gives two choices of what to believe about God. In Malachi 4:5 it is actually called the great and terrible day of the Lord. It has great news for those who are looking for the Gospel (good news) of God and it has terrible news of wrath and destruction for those who believe in a tyrantical, wrothful and vengeful God. If a person sits under a preacher that is
preaching sin and darkness and wrath from God it is your choice to believe or reject. Believers live the Gospel of God, given by Jesus. Jesus said the Kingdom of God is within each person. Luke17:21 God was, God is, God is being and God will be. Jesus described his father as Love. If we believe God is everywhere then we must face the fact that there is no opposite to God. There is no outside of God. If there is no outside of God and there is no sin or evil in God then, guess what, there is no sin or evil! You can’t be
separated (truthfully or actually) from God. When the bible talks about man falling away from God it was man believing God was leaving him. God didn’t move. Only in mans mind could there be a separation from God. Where would he go, he’s already there! God is ONE spirit. Jesus said we are all ONE! John17:21. So, all that is or ever will be came from ONE! God created a physical body from the dust of the earth and called it man. Then God took of his Soul and placed it within man to embody the Spirit. Then God breathed his essence, the
spirit of life, into the vessel and man became a living soul(of God). Then God gave man a piece of his mind! The first God/Man created, Adam. Adam walked with God, in God and God taught man from within himself. The voice of thoughts in the mind of Adam, from God, teaching about life and preparing man to take charge of the earth. God gave the earth to man along with free will to learn and move and do whatever he chose. Adam was told he could partake of any of the information presented but that if he believed in evil he would begin
to die. Evil was deceptive information that portrayed itself as Gods truth. It was a lie! There is no opposite to God/Love/Good etc. Yet man had the freedom to choose as his own truth any information he wanted to believe. Whatever a man chooses to believe from multiple information avenues is what he becomes. If the information seems to him to be true then to him it is true. God/truth doesn’t change only mans opinion of it. If man believes something not of God/truth it is actually his illusion of Truth. Now man faced a world of information of
good from God or lies that man himself created of bad. Truth or illusion of truth. There was only good in the beginning. By accepting evil as a truth for himself, man had split God in his own mind into good and bad. Now all his choices to accept or reject have been distorted into good or bad. Evil then was a creation of man that began to lead man to death and destruction or away from God/life. There is still only ONE God in Truth. Whatever aspects or traits of God are Truth are still Truth and can never change. That’s why I say evil is an
illusion. Over time man has named different things as evil. Yet all that is in existence came from God who is all in all, that is or was! There is no evil in God, God is all there is, God has no evil, God can’t create evil. The belief in evil created an illusion in mans mind that he was separated from God. Man became un-whole in his mind! Through his mind/beliefs in evil man became tainted, dirty, with all aspects of the evil he was creating. The evil thoughts being created were being energized by fear that they could be truth! Man immediately hid himself
from God. Believing in evil creates death. Evil can be believed in the mind of a human being and be real to that individual but not be of the Truth of God. Evil is not of God. Evil is not in the Truth. Evil is an illusion of truth, created by man believing incorrectly. An error of belief. This was and is sin, an error of belief that anything could truly separate you from God. Evil starts in the mind of a son of God and is sown into the earth realm. We are reaping what we have all sown. Evil thoughts come before evil deeds. The mind creates the action. Evil or
error or sin or anything against God creates judgment as to good and bad or right and wrong. So, fear of wrong motivates mans mind to think up more possible wrongs because man does not feel the same peace with God he had at the beginning. There is no intrinsic evil. Choosing things to believe as evil has created evil in the earth and must be reversed. Evil must be put away from our minds for ever. Evil should not be recognized as an existing choice to make. Its an illusion of Truth. There is no evil in God. God is everywhere. There is no
intrinsic evil. If you don’t accept evil as truth and do accept God/ONE/GOOD again, then you have passed from death(separation from God) back to life. Adam chose to believe evil which lead us all to pass from life to death. We all have the right of return to ONE, we just didn’t know it. Religion is the largest producer of evil of all. They preach sin, hellfire, and damnation predominately. Sin is thinking wrong first. If one believes he is washed clean through Jesus who took away our sin then there is no evil to sow. Jesus came to reveal the
whole truth about God. The old testament is the old will that has ceased to be effectual. The New Testament was established through Jesus, the Truth of God. Now that we know the Truth, if we return to believing in ONE God, Good only (in our beliefs) then we have passed from death to life. Evil is passed away. Today sin is gone through the Truth, Jesus Christ and there is no more condemnation/judgment from God. We are mentally coming back to Man/God, one together, now rising back up through awareness,
knowledge and understanding. This is the position we have always been in with God but through error teaching believed we were separated. We are remembering who we are and who we always have been. Jesus gave his life to tell us the Truth. He did away with sin in the flesh for those who would believe. He gave himself as final sacrifice for sin to all who wouldn’t believe any other way. There is nothing more he could do to eradicate sin. We must now believe, we have no sin!! Sin is evil, evil is sin, they are both lies of death. To
have a sin consciousness is separation from God or death. You have been cleansed of sin thinking through Jesus’ truth. God has blessed you. TK

Please show me where it does not align with what Jesus says.Did Jesus come to a dark world that was in sin?
Jesus came to seek and to save those lost in sin/error!
The Jewish Religion/Temple of brick and mortar/ritualistic works to please God, was the religious world order of that time. They did not know God. They had set up many rules, rituals, feast days, fast days,
tithing, laws, sacrifices etc., to find or pacify God. That was all man made religion. They were in sin or error. They could not see the truth. They were like a drunk person trying to find his way to God. They were dead in their tresspasses and sin/error of thinking!
Jesus came to show mankind the true way to God/life. Jesus gave man the spirit/words of God, the truth, so that any or all that would believe would experience abundant life on earth.
The words of Jesus are from God/spirit all words are spirit. If we eat, partake of, accept, abide in those words of spirit/truth we find God. That is the infilling of the whole/holy spirit in man.
The words of God through Jesus are the spiritual kingdom of God, come to earthen vessels, mankind to enlighten man to the truth. God/Spirit words/Jesus word of God/the truth of God which is the Kingdom of God living within mankind.
If one believes this truth, he lives his life apart from sin and death. If one rejects who he is by dis-believing he is lost in sin and death. Do you believe in sin and death?
At that time was the great covenant change prophesied for thousands of years to come. Jesus' teaching saved us from sin and death.
That was the end of the old world order.
There was an old will of God and there is a new will of God. Why would anyone search for the truth in the old will. It is
in-effectual and completely fulfilled by Jesus.
If one believes in evil, he will commit evil. If one believes in sin, he will create sin in his life.If you believe Jesus, that he took away the sin of the world and destroyed evil then you are purified and perfect as God has made you.
There was in the beginning only good/God! Man chose to accept death/evil. Why now man still chooses to accept evil and thereby create his own evil I can't say.
God has made us perfect. If one believes the truth and walks in that truth, there will be no evil for that person. Jesus walked amongst evil, it did not touch him. Jesus laid down his life, nobody took it from him!!! Bless you, TK

1) Since Jesus’ words are spirit & life (John 6:63) then a person with an “unclean spirit” would be a person that believes they are dirty or unclean. Actually they would believe thoughts/doctrines/spirits of death/unseemliness/impurity/unclean/full of sin!
2)…“I am the door: by me if any man enter in he shall be saved, and go in and out, and find pasture.”(John10:9)…Notice that one had to… enter in shall be saved…not get saved to enter in!tk
