These are the extremes david because might not include believers who are not pharisees too.The idea is to create a space where more mature believers can share their views and experiences. For example, I would like to share stuff that God has done in my life, but I do not do that here because of some here, I feel it would be casting pearls before…[Read more]

david you believe that because you are into magic and see how it works and at the same time you have never had an experience/vision from God. So your judgement is completely based on your own very limited experience of reality.For you to be fair given your own perception, by all rights you should also conclude that John was never taken up and…[Read more]

Yes there is a problem when you use the old and now deprecated font tag. It seems to drop the closing font tag which is annoying. You are best to use iBcode which is even easier. I will give you an example and put in a space so the code is not executed.Instead of this Use this:This will be red if you removed all the spaces. Also no speech marks…[Read more]

Not bragging or anything, but I just made post 12345. Ed J, how long will it be before I make post 123456?Ten times as much, (one hundred years)

Quote (david @ Nov. 24 2012,07:48)Quote You seem to be teaching us that “magic tricks” aren't really “magic” – but most of us here already accept that.  Where you're going wrong is by trying to prove to us that certain encounters with real demons that some of us have had are also just simple “magic tricks” – carried out by our own deluded minds.I…[Read more]

To me this forum has a niche in the Body of Christ because it challenges all things and it takes all types to create all things. And obviously not all is of God and this forum allows all to speak freely within guidelines that try to keep everything smooth and easy to find.I was talking about a completely different place similar perhaps to…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ Nov. 25 2012,02:25)To run from truth seems to be the status quo of the religious mindset.The very denominationalism you proclaim yourself to be against is now what you seek to establish, yet you are too blind to see it.When truth hits home, the natural reaction is to ‘kill the messenger’.”These things have I(Jesus) spoken unto you…[Read more]

Apes Have Midlife Crises, TooStu, according to National Geographic, apes can have a midlife crises just like humans.Apes like you have much in common with us humans than perhaps many realise. Not sure if daffodils get it, but they too share quite a bit of DNA code like us too. Not as much of course.http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news….animals

I should also mention that I didn't have in mind that some would move over, but that some would have access to discuss things without hindrance from thing like ignorance, preconceived ideas above truth, denominational works etc. We would all discuss here too and this would remain. I am not about to trash this forum ever. There has been a lot of…[Read more]

Quote (seekingtruth @ Nov. 25 2012,04:23)Are you talking to me, or T8.No.IMO you have been reasonable and are able to hold a good conversation and it would be good to know more about what you think, but is hard sometimes among all the other stuff.

What to do? Here is one idea.I could start a new Board/Forums which is invite only. Still under Heaven Net, but not part of this one, but is for those who are truth seekers, love God, and are not likely to go off the rails. I think we could share some great things in the right company if we didn't spend so much time refuting false teachers, nutty…[Read more]

I guess if people become believers and show no respect for the sacredness of doctrine and truth and teach their own imaginations and not what comes from the Spirit, then there comes a time when they become “nutters”.This happens so that all can see to not follow them because God will judge false teachers just as he does false prophets and false apostles.

Oh Ed J, you have really done it now. How can anyone ever take you serious again. Although I don't know of anyone here that is influenced by what you teach so 'again' might not be the right word.It seems to be that if a person doesn't stay on the straight and narrow with their teaching, they will err into the most ridiculous doctrines ever…[Read more]
