Here it seems that people bring on their own blindness by walking in the futility of their mind. They are excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance within them because of the hardness of their heart.

Hi Pilgrim,
You said:
Praise God we have a common understanding regarding God the Father and Jesus Christ His Son.
Regarding the topic “god of this world”, we need to understand that the “world” Paul is talking of is “this present evil world” out of which born again children of God are delivered, not the created “world” that the Almighty God cr…

t8,
Jesus is YHVH our Righteousness. YHVH is the I AM. YHVH is the unity of the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the Great God. Jesus, YHVH our Righteousness is the Lord of lords. He is the Arm of this Unity of YHVH.

Read this to answer what are idols:

IdolPhysical or material image or form representing a reality or being considered divine and thus an object of worship. In the Bible various terms are used to refer to idols or idolatry: “image”, either graven (carved) or cast, “statue,” “abomination.” Both Testaments…[Read more]

Hi Lu,
YOU: Hi Carmel,
Please clarify:
Do you believe that Jesus is satan in some way?
Lu, DO YOU BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS
YOU, THOUGH A FEMALE, IN SOME WAY?
Keep in mind that JESUS (MALE AND FEMALE)is not quite the same as
JESUS CHRIST!

JESUS IS IN ALL OF US!

Pilgrim,
Good point that you made to Gene about how Gene changes the word “is the root” to “from the root.”
I was thinking the same thing!

Hi Pilgrim,
re: righteousness
Agree…good verses. Thank you!
Jesus is YHVH our Righteousness. One day all knees will bow and confess this to the glory of God the Father.

Hi Pilgrim,
re: blindness…I am very certain that satan cannot blind people from the gospel. It is our choice to turn from seeing the Light (obeying God) to seeing the darkness (not obeying God). YHVH compels us one way, satan compels us to disobey. We can freely choose which way (obedience to God or disobedience to God) but it is because of the…[Read more]

Satan is NOT the god of this age who blinds the hearts of the unbelieving to the glory of the gospel of Christ. YHVH has control of lifting the veil over unbeliever’s minds or letting it remain.
Look at the context of the passage and see that satan is not mentioned at all but instead God YHVH is the one who enlightens people or not enlightens…[Read more]

Hi Pilgrim,
So thankful for your comments, unity in truth is my purpose here, whether I have to let go of something that I have falsely believed in or I can show truth to someone else. To grow in love is certainly an area in which I have plenty of room to grow in and this forum is continually a training ground. I’m glad you are here!

Hi Jodi,
You asked:
Isaiah means YHVH has saved, does this make Isaiah YHVH also Lu?
John means YHVH is a gracious giver, does that make John also YHVH?
Neither of them are prayed to, neither of them are prophesied to reign eternally, no one does mighty works through their name, etc. so….no they would not be YHVH. But if their name was called…[Read more]

Jodi says:
Jesus does not do works in his own name but in His Father’s NAME, and the works that he does are not his works but are YHVH’s works, the very reason why Jesus says that the works that he does he does so in his Father’s NAME.
However, The disciples did works in Jesus name. Acts 4.
The works are done in the Father’s name and in Jesus…[Read more]

I know satan is a deceiver and really bad but I don’t think that he is able to blind us to the gospel. Isaiah 6:10

t8 said this:
There is no mention in scripture that God is a club.
That quote of what t8 said is an example of what the democrats do to Donald Trump’s words. Do you see how he used the word “club” when no one here has used that word. False news starts so easily, t8.

Hi Carmel:
You said:
Satan, THE EVIL CREATED BY GOD was simply
Jesus Christ CAMOUFLAGED AS
THE GOD OF THIS WORLD.ALL IN HIM, ALL BY HIM and ALL FOR HIM
Carmel, I call that absolute heresy, did you really just call Jesus Christ, “satan?”
