Now given all the scriptures above who are the roaring lions? Who are the slanderers, deceivers DIABOLOS/devils? WHO persecuted Jesus?

1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil (DIABOLOS-slanderer, false accuser, deceiver) , as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Matthew 12:14 Then the Pharisees…[Read more]

To All,

The bible makes it VERY CLEAR where SIN comes FROM, where spiritual wickedness lives.

Genesis makes it clear in the beginning that it is man’s OWN IMAGINATION that gets him into trouble. 

5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil cont…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

Thanks for joining this topic. I hope you will read my next posts and respond to the scriptures I give that support my understanding.

Hi Gene,

YOU:also notice when the unclean spirit returned he found the house “empty” , swept and garnished,  this to me is depicting a person who had not yet received the Holy Spirit yet,  which would have caused the “house”  not to be empty, which would  have prevented the unclean spirits from taking control of the man.  There is a battle of spi…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

My understanding of Matthew 12:43-45 and Luke 11:24-26,

I’d like to first reflect on a couple of other passages,

Luke 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 13 They…[Read more]

Hi Carmel,

Celestial does NOT equate to being a spirit, it equates to where your abode is.

Celestial transliterated – Epouranios,  existing in heaven

40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

God’s messengers have BODIES they are not spirit…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

YOU: what does these scriptures mean to you , 1 kings 22-23,  2 Ch 18:21-22,  I see spirits as mental cognisities, either clean or un clean, good or evil, they make up our thinking

ME: Yes, I agree and to expand,

Proverbs 11:13 A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

Proverbs 14:29 H…[Read more]

Hi Carmel,

Jesus, the son of David and Jesse, upon the Spirit descending like a dove coming to abode upon him he received the Spirit of Wisdom, the Spirit of Knowledge, the Spirit of Council and Might, the Spirit of Knowledge and Fear of the LORD.

The Seven Spirits aren’t individual entities, they are all OF God who is ONE Spirit. They represent…[Read more]

Hi Carmel,

YOU: CALLED YOU IN RIGHTEOUSNESS! Also

WHY DID GOD CALL JESUS FOR SUCH DEED?

WHERE WAS JESUS WHEN GOD CALLED HIM?

In the above, I expected that you expand and tell me what YOUR UNDERSTANDING IS

regarding the phrase CALLED YOU IN RIGHTEOUSNESS!

ME: I have a long post with many many scriptures, but I think it’s best to keep my…[Read more]

Carmel,

Isaiah 42 and 45 give you direct proof that Jesus did not pre-exist as God’s Word.

Isaiah 42 and 45 proves to you that Jesus was NOT the person who created heaven, earth, and man. Our heavenly Father gave His word, His promises to Isaiah. In Isaiah we read that the ONE who created heaven, earth, and man did so on His own, and this same…[Read more]

Hi Carmel,

ME: Isaiah 6 is about Isaiah becoming a prophet.

“here am I, send me” is Isaiah speaking.

YOU: IS THAT ALL?

You posted from Isaiah6:1 to 6:10 but it seems to me it is of no use at all to you.

The fact that Isaiah BECAME A PROPHET and spoke regarding a particular TASK,

IT MEANS NOTHING TO YOU?

ME: This is ridiculous Carmel, you…[Read more]

Hi Carmel,

YOU: Please expand and be more clear what actually you understand with the above

piece of scripture especially the phrase:

CALLED YOU IN RIGHTEOUSNESS! Also 

WHY DID GOD CALL JESUS FOR SUCH DEED?

WHERE WAS JESUS WHEN GOD CALLED HIM?

Read please and reflect

Isaiah 6:8

And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send?…[Read more]

Yes agreed, the book of Enoch is NOT a book from God, and also agreed that angels did not and could not take humans for wives and have children unto them.

Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4 There were giants in the earth in…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

Thank you and thank God you understand too!

Blessings and love to you and yours,  Jodi

Hi Carmel,

Sorry your scriptures did not show AT ALL what remained concerning the doctrine that says Jesus pre-existed and emptied himself coming down from heaven.

Jesus tells you directly that God’s Spirit came to rest upon him, it was an anointing, and he was then sent TO preach God’s word and His coming kingdom, to perform signs and miracles,…[Read more]

Hi Carmel,

Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 2 And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; 3 And shall make him of quick understanding in…[Read more]

Hi Carmel,

Isaiah 6 is about Isaiah becoming a prophet.

“here am I, send me” is Isaiah speaking. 

Isaiah 6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he…[Read more]

Hi Carmel,

The second human is the root and offspring of David, he is heavenly and we are to be as he is, and a joint heir with him being an heir of God. Jesus has God resting His Spirit upon him, it is a witness to his human spirit that he is a Son of God. With that Spirit upon his human spirit he is being fully led by God and thus he is…[Read more]

Carmel,

I didn’t produce a piece of a particular scripture to justify my truth, for you to even say such a thing must either mean you have a serious problem with basic comprehension or you actually haven’t really ever read any of my posts. 

I have quoted most all of chapter 42 numerous times coupling it with chapters 11, 45 and 61. Where it is…[Read more]
