Hi Jodi,

Of course you would find wriggle room.

But God can allow serpents and donkeys to talk.

Hi T8,

Yes we can all improve.

Put aside envy, pride and bitterness.

Walk in forgiveness, understanding and real love

Hi T8,

Yes offer encouragement and love.

Stop condemning others.

Resist pride.

Good teaching.

Hi princess,

“Eat my flesh and drink my blood”

defies logic and most walked away

Hi Jodi,

John 13.2

During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the Son of Simon,

to betray him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands,

and that he had come forth from God and was going back to God, got up from supper

and laid aside his garments; and taking a towel, he girded…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,

When you try to make the wisdom of God conform to the logic of men it does not work.

Let the Spirit who wrote it through men teach you.

Hi T8,

I prefer the kinder judgements of God.

You have much to learn about dealing with people IMO..

Hi T8,

Yes be positive.

It is is the way of a true teacher.

Hi Jodi,

The seed of the serpent is the brood of vipers.

The seed of the woman is true Israel, new Jerusalem.

Rom 11

Rev 12

Rev 21

1jn 5.18f

We know that no one who is born of God sins, but he who was born of God keeps him

and the evil one does not touch him.

We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,

Rev 20.7

“When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison,

and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth,

Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like

the sands of the seashore”

Man is a weak and foolish vessel in the hands of his master.

Hi Jodi,

Then the Lord opened the mouth of the donkey and she said to Balaam

“What have I done to you that you have struck me three times”

Then Balaam said to the donkey…..

num 22.28f

Why are you surprised at the abilities of God?

Balaam was not surprised and conversed with the animal.

I am not interested in musing about the whys and…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,

Pure speculation on my part.

But you did ask.

Hi Jodi,

In Revelation he is cast out of heaven with his angels-also seen in a vision by Jesus-so he was a leader of angels who was, at least, able to enter heaven.

He said he had been on the earth when speaking, rather disrespectfully, to God.

Scripture speaks of his throne on earth.

So was this being the prince responsible for earth?

Did he…[Read more]

Hi T8,

Show me one condemning word.

Or change your attitude.

Be a true teacher.

Hi Jodi,

Yes God was with him but not yet in him while he was growing up.

He knew his true Father.

He was baptised in the Spirit at the Jordan.

Hi Jodi,

No definite revelation on this.

But starting from Eph 2.2 we see ‘the prince of the power of the air”

Is he a prince like Michael and the other princes in Daniel?

He was with the sons of God before the Lord in Job 1 and 2.

Is he a heavenly son like those shown in Jb 38.7 and ps…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

Jodi would blame God for evil.

Jodi would make your enemy every man.

She would make your worst enemy your own soul.

Do not be distracted by her copied and pasted imaginations.

Eph 6.10f

Finally be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers, against the…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

Quoting your own ideas as a back up to Jodi’s carries little weight.

You need a firmer foundation.

Hi Gene,

No surprises there.

Her foundation is not faith but doubt.

Many will find her arguments compelling but doubt is no anchor.

Hi Jodi,

Little children, guard yourselves from idols. 1jn 5.21

Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to

immorality,impurity, passion, evil desire and greed, which amounts to idolatry.

col3 5-6

Yes, for the forgiven, the struggle is to regain the territory lost and not to listen to lusts and fall again.

And one of the…[Read more]
