Hi Gene,

You said, “Nick and Jodi….God the Father never put in man the ability to dirct his way, “for it is not within a man to dorect his paths” he never had that ability when created, so naturally they would eventually choose the wrong paths.

That is why we all need the spirit of God installed in us, so we can be guided by it. GOD KNOW WHEN…[Read more]

It clearly says that MAN WALKS AFTER HIS OWN DEVICES, COMPREHEND that NICK!!!!!

Jeremiah 37: 9 Thus saith the LORD; Deceive not yourselves,

I Corinthians 3: 18 Let no man deceive himself.

1 John 1: 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Deuteronomy 11: 16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived

Obadiah 1:3 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that…[Read more]

The Israelites in the wilderness mumured for water and food, after all that God had done for them, they still lacked faith. They were solely focused on serving their senses. Their god was their belly, not some unearthly supernatural evil force.

Judas was serving mammon, his OWN DESIRES when he betrayed Jesus. Judas himself was a false…[Read more]

Hi Nick,

The USE of the words OWN IMAGINATION, OWN HEART, OWN DEVICES, OWN Deception, means that it COMES FROM WITHIN man himself, LITERALLY, not from another imagination, not from some outside source. 

The scriptures are numerous and throughout the bible.

16 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that…[Read more]

Hi Nick,

You had said,

“I prefer the simple reading of scripture where man is a weak and ignorant vessel born into likely slavery to the god of this world. Dominated from without and within by more powerful and evil rebellious forces who beguile him into complacency and human warfares. Helpless and hopeless only divine intervention can…[Read more]

But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves… who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual,

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a…[Read more]

Let’s look at this scripture again and see what else it applies to,

Jude 1: 10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished…[Read more]

Nick scripture is clear on what the enmity is,

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through…[Read more]

Nick you said to me, “But God tempts nobody and in Him there is no darkness or shadow of turning” ”

It is foolishness to blame God for evil.”

Indeed as I have said several times and quoted James, that God tempts no one.

Yes it would be very foolish to blame God for evil that comes from sin, that comes from our own desires and our own…[Read more]

Nick you said, ”

Hi Jodi,

Lk 14.11 does not say what you quote.

Lk 13.11f does.

But you seem to have deceptively missed the last statement of Jesus in v 16.

“And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, lo these 18 years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?””

I have NOT DECEPTIVELY MISSED any…[Read more]

Yes a child does not know good or evil from birth, and Adam and Eve likewise did not know either. To sin is to go the wrong way, it is to separate yourself from God’s way. By our own imaginations and our own ignorance sin is brought forth. Mankind is to learn that we cannot rely on our own imaginations to find wisdom, to find peace and live in…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

Deuteronomy 30:15 “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, 16 in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. 17 But…[Read more]

Nick you know that I have already told you I am not so why would you ask if I am a Christadelphian again?

You didn’t answer my question, do you believe that the books of Enoch are inspired? That they are full of the truth?

Gene you said, “Jodi…tell me who is cast into the bottomless pit for a thousand years then? Is it men or is it all evil or (disfunctional) things . AND if it is mans own imaginations in them, that is the devil and satan, does that mean all mankind will be cast into the bottomless pit also? When this takes place why does all created flesh take on n…[Read more]

Just reading about all the “heavens” in the Second Book of Enoch. Goodness Gracious!!

Nick could you explain, do you think that this book which I see as blasphemous, is the INSPIRED Word of God? Or are you just using some of it’s notions to try and defend your belief?

Nick you said,  “Enoch enlarges on their origin.”

“…Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.” Titus 1:13-14

The book of Enoch is a complete Book of Jewish fables. Are you completely unaware of it’s contradictions and blasphemies to t…[Read more]

True Story,

A young boy was taken to mental health counselling by his parents because over a period of time the boy started to change his behavior, he was liking typical girl things and acting like a girl, even telling his parents he was a girl.  The therapist learned early on from the boy’s own words that the boy believed his parents liked gi…[Read more]

This is not my imagination but scripture

The Dragon in Revelation are Kings

The Dragon is called the Old Serpent

Man is called a serpent

Man is called a wild animal

Man is called an adversary for having in mind the things of men

Man is called a slanderer for following it’s own flesh

Adam and Eve had fleshly desires of the senses of which t…[Read more]

Nick the scripture does not say that the serpent was deceived by someone else and then deceived Eve. But that is what you believe correct?

The scripture says that the serpent deceived through it’s own craftiness.
