No - you should be scared of Jeannie if you think she's right on this.

I was just kidding. I don't think the ouija boards talk to anything except the subconscious and possibly lost spirits, but they don't talk to the supreme creator.

hmmmm???

all i keep seeing JB is endless jibbersh that has nothing to do with what i originally asked, everyone wants to talk about how god is - i nkow how god is -

I'm ASKING ANYONE TO TELL ME MY NICKNAME BY TALKING TO YOUR HOLY SPIRIT AND HAVING HIM ANSWER !!!! NOT YOUR ANSWERS!!
well dude, thats a stupid question to be honest, God and the Holy Spirit has a lot more to do than play trivia games with a non believer, what you are asking just aint gonna happen, get over it


hmm? stupid? ok, i thought maybe someone might say ignorant - but stupid? were all ignorant of things thats a common flaw of mankind as a whole, stupid on the other hand is a whole other topic.

God and jesus have no more to do now then they ever have, you limit your god's ability to handle and be in control in an infinite manner by making such a "Stupid" statement as you have made.

as to the rest of your reply which is totally off topic to begin with, your gods a trivial god so i see where there should be no conflict there in any way?

I know it's not going to happen - neither you, or any of the rest can or will answer it, the question is for those who say they speak to god and god answers them back quite frequently with answers they ask, to do the same to the awnswers i have asked them to ask for me since i dont have this god to talk to. very simple request - that evidentally no one is coming forth to do? I wonder why? hmmm??? Tempting god? i think not - it's sincere questions i ask, but as usual everything posted goes way of course. i just may have the moderators delete all the crap that does not address the original post, huh?


If so - you'd be left with my post. What's this "any of the rest" stuff. I don't count!?

That's it - I'm taking you out of my will.

The ultimate reality is self, as all is one. Once you realize self you realize the ultimate reality.

We are ultimately accountable to self.

We currently live with limited awareness in a self created environment created for the incubation of life forms in which we have life and individualized experiences.

The law of cause and effect, Law of Karma, Law of Attraction, is a self created law which serves as the rules of the game we are currently engaged in.

Oh but that's not true Eljay.

It most certainly has been "Christians" who have been claiming that those who do not accept that Jesus is God are rejecting God.

All responses by non-believers are ultimately a defensive response to that erroneous claim.

That is the accusation that is ultimately being challenged by non-believers.

As soon as Christian climb down off their holier-than-thou view that they are on "God's side" and non-believers are "against God" then there would no longer be a problem.

To doubt the bible is not the same as rejecting God.

Period.

And the only reference I made to the scriptures was on that single point that even the main prophet of the Bible, Jesus Christ himself, does not support the Christian view!

Christianity has become a train-wreck of a religion. It preaches things that don't even agree with it's own doctrine.

Well - it is difficult to honor your request without using scripture, for it also says clearly in the scripture that "the Holy spirit does not speak for himself" - which is what you are asking him to do. Therefore, if it something that the Spirit does not do - how could you demand that He show evidence of Himself by doing so? You are asking Him to contradict himself - which would be proof that He's NOT the Spirit to whom you seek answers from.

This is like gunning your car while it's up on Jacks. You can spin the wheels all you want - but you're not going any where.


Where in the Bible does it say that the Holy Spirit does not speak for himself?

Is that not a contradiction to what Born again Christians have been saying here on this forum?

Did they not proclaim that the Holy spirit speaks to them and they they alone know truth because of this?

Now I am confused.

Does the Bible contradict itself or is someone misinterpreting it?

JB


Jeannie;

The reference is John 16: 13a "He will not speak on his own..."

But to get a clear picture of the context of this verse I would suggest you read From John 14:1 until the end of chapter 15. That is - if your more interested in what is actually written than what everybody has been claiming it say.

It has not been the Christians on the forum who have been claiming what the bible says about the Holy Spirit - but it's been Abra, Tribo, and others. As far as I know - the "born agains" claim the H.S. will lead one to the truth. That is what they SHOULD be saying, because that is what is stated in the text.

Clearly Jeannie - there is so much mis-interpretation of what the bible says, that I couldn't tell you who's read it and who hasn't.
With a few exceptions - on both sides of the argument. However, I think I could say with acuracy that for most of those who say they've read it - it's been years since they've done so, and they only read those passages which support their Pretext. Isn't this obvious to you as well?


sorry you think that of me eljay, but i forgive you - flowerforyou

now to the point whether you read from 14-1 or not, chpts 14,15,16 state the same things said by christ. 14-14: and if ye ask anything in my name i will do it
14:17-even the "spirit of truth" etc
15:7- ye shall ask what you want and it shall be done unto you
16:13-how be it when the spirit of truth come he will "guide you in all truth" etc and on.

so it is not a matter of taking something out of context eljay - these are christ words!

Now, if you raise the audience revelence as to being the apostles, your correct -tell me then, was these things said for them only or for all that followed even today? if your response is only to them of that day and not now then i will discontinue with my quest. If not- and you say it's revelent for all today and forever, than my questions stand!

If you answer that it was only for the deciples then i will go to pauls writings and find the verses there of the holy spirit and truth, makes no diff. to me.

I would like an answer eljay? if not from you tyhen the others who claim that they speak to god and his spirit. simple qusetions i ask in my original post. but i would like it from god, not you but the holy spirit. flowerforyou



You know what my response to this will be. It is for everyone. We know this by the prayer of Jesus to God about the believers. Those there present to hear what he said, and those of the future who would not have the benefit of the eye witness of His ministry to substanciate their faith.

To clarify the point of "intended audience" - who in this day and age has the level of faith equal to those of the apostles? I continue my point that you are not going to hear from the H.S. on your quest - because you are petitioning Him to testify about himself. His purpose is to testify about Jesus, and to convict the world of sin. His goal is to >lead< them into all truth - and what truth is that? The words that Jesus spoke.
Not "which came first, the chicken or the egg".

So - since you've established an event that can not possibly occur - the H.S. knocking on your door and calling you by your fathers nickname - what would you like us to do now?

All Christians should remember the lessons of Romans 14. There is no reason for us to argue over dogma unless that dogma encourages sin. For some Christians there are holy days during the week or during the year. For other Christians, all days are the same. But we are all responsible to the same Lord and Judge, so we should allow him to Judge our actions and instead try to support and love one another.

flowerforyou :heart: flowerforyou :heart:




Thank you spider!!!

No truer words are spoken these days. :heart:

Peace & God blessings....


Thank you, you are too kind. I was just summarizing Romans 14 for those who aren't familiar with it. I think the message of Romans 14 should be in the minds of all people when dealing with anyone with different beliefs.
