:popcorn: My post on here have been quoting the Bible. I just did not put the text references in the post. The verses I used are all well known to persons that know the Bible and who might go to church or speak about the scriptures with others. I figured the Religion Thread was for persons that knew religion so I have been writing accordingly.

:flowers: ------------- :coffee:
I challenge you to find the references and post them for your "quotes". Also post your "quotes" in context. As far as I can tell, your posts are false teachings from some modern age garbage that you have accepted because it fits your warped sense of right and wrong.

I quote the Bible. The quotes I post are set as quotes and have chapter and verse for all to research on their own in the Bible of their choice, so they can see it confirmed in the New American Standard Bible that I like to use for its accuracy or compare the same scripture to the King James, Amplified, New Living, New King James, 21st Century English, New International Version, Darby's Translation, or any of the other many Bible translations and paraphrases. Those that choose to do the research will find there is no difference in the meaning when comparing the various versions.

:howdy: In this world it is common for people to say that we can change the future and we can not change the past, BUT, in the Bible Jesus teaches the opposite of that.

The New Testiment teaches that the future belongs only to God and it is set fixed and we can not change the future at all, particularly because it has not happened yet.

If a person does right then their future will be right and if a person does wrong then their future goes wrong, thus the future is set like solid rock and can not be changed at all.

But the past time is different. Jesus teaches to repent which means to change the past by repentance. Make right the past wrong.

Luke 24:47 "And that repentance and remission of sins would be preached in his name among all nations,"

If you were a Priest would you touch little kids?

:popcorn: Today I picked up my grand daughter and if I were a priest then I still would pick her up.

I do not think that one has to be a priest to touch children. Parents touch their children as do friends and neighbors and teachers. It is a normal healthy activity. I have even heard of some people do not touch at all or very seldom and it hurts the person emotionally.

But I sure do not see what that question has to do with the Religion thread or about the topic of scholarly criticism.

Peace out. :popcorn:

:bigwhoop: So I take it that no one so far knows anything about modern scholar research.

Perhaps some one later will give a post about the subject as I suspect there must be some one other then myself that actually seeks the truth.

I can wait.......... :whistle:
Are all these scholars self educated too!??

Do they, like you, understand why prisons are called "Penile" Colonies??

No.

What a prophet of God will do and not do are very clear.
1 John 4:1-6

1Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

2By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;

3and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.

4You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

5They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them.

6We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
Matthew 7:15-16 15"Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

16"You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?
1 Corinthians 14:29-33

29Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment.

30But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent.

31For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted;

32and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets;

33for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
Nothing a prophet says will contradict the Bible. But false prophets are foretold in the Bible.
2 Peter 2:1-3

1But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.

2Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned;

3and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
And the penalty is harsh for false prophets.
Jeremiah 14:15

15"Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who are prophesying in My name, although it was not I who sent them--yet they keep saying, 'There will be no sword or famine in this land'--by sword and famine those prophets shall meet their end!
Deuteronomy 18:20

20'But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or which he speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.'
Deuteronomy 13:1-5

1"If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder,

2and the sign or the wonder comes true, concerning which he spoke to you, saying, 'Let us go after other gods (whom you have not known) and let us serve them,'

3you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your God is testing you to find out if you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

4"You shall follow the LORD your God and fear Him; and you shall keep His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and cling to Him.

5"But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has counseled rebellion against the LORD your God who brought you from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery, to seduce you from the way in which the LORD your God commanded you to walk So you shall purge the evil from among you.
I am not recommending anyone put JPC, SR. to death, but I would think he needs to be careful of what he is proclaiming.

:yay: The Bible is an instruction book like a car has an owner's manual. The Bible tells how society got set up and how families function and it tells individuals about ourselves and it tells about the Creator.

A person can drive a car and never read the owner's manual and maybe get some things right. What that button does, how the jack works, what the lights mean, etc. Also people can live without the Bible too and they will learn other things but never can one grasp the full truth that sets us free without going to the Book.

Even the Devil gets saved in the end.
Saw you in church. Did you catch the part where Pastor Jerry said that the person who has been claiming that satan goes to heaven on an Internet forum is wrong and teaching false doctrine and that that person should not claim to be a member of our church.

As Jerry told me, we don't separate them at the door, so you are still welcome. Maybe you will really take the time to listen to the sermons and learn the real Truth instead of the babel you spout.

To those that have PMed me saying JPC, Sr goes to the church I go to, that is true on occasion, but since he spouts untruth, he is not accepted as a member. People are cordial to him, but the church leadership knows the truth about him.

:yay: You are correct but on the Judgement Day, then everyone will believe and be saved. The price is paid in full already.


Yes, the price has been paid in full and is as free to everyone as is air - however, that salvation is freely available to everyone does not mean everyone will accept it.

And therein lies the rub. Nowhere does it say that all will believe.



In fact, if the poster is even remotely familiar with the Book of Revelation, you will read explicitly that the above quote is not even close to accurate. There will be a surge of faithfulness and converts during the tribulation - but it will not be all-encompassing.

We're all sinners.

I know my church has at least one sinner - 'cause I'm there. Nobody said that "sinners" are not welcome.


I rather think that the problem lies, not the sin itself - but rather the pointed dismissal of the behavior, the continued lack of effort in correcting it.

It's been pointed out to you many times - by someone who knows of which he speaks - that misrepresenting the word of God is an appalling act before God, and qualifies you as a "false prophet". Yet you continue to ignore this when it's pointed out to you, and you continue to misrepresent scripture to suit yourself, or whatever Shiny-Happy version of the world you live in.

And if a church doesn't embrace you lovingly when you act like this, that doesn't mean that the church is full of jerks.

Exactly! I took this to JPC, Sr. in private first, following this:
Matthew 18:15-17

15"If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother.

16"But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED.

17"If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
JPC told me to "Do what you have to do.", so I did and took it to the church leaders. That was the reason for the announcement from the alter. JPC, Sr. just chooses to have selective hearing and reading, too, when things are said or posted he does not agree with.

:coffee: It is true that I did not hear that but I do believe you that it was said. So then the deed is done. I am running for 29B and not running for priest nor Pope nor for minister or Pastor so my politics and my religion are separate subjects. This Religion Thread is for discussing and not for dictating orthodoxy - at least not in my opinion.

You claim to study scripture but you don't know what it says. You go to church, but do not listen. When the written word is shown to you, you deny it. And now you bring your "candidacy" into this.

I will not presume to pass judgement about someones religious views, but if there is any such thing as a false prophet, you are it.

Listening to the voices in your head instead of the sermon again.
:popcorn: Well I have been writing about psychology on another thread but here it goes here too.

:bigwhoop: From my study of psychology I found that all humans talk to themselves. It is the way we communicate. Even the psycotic schitzophrenic is only hearing their own self generated voices. Thus a Chinese person speaks to them self in the Chinese language, a Russian speaks Russian to them self in their mind. A friend of mine that speaks five different languages told me that the best way to become fluent in another language is to start thinking in the new language. Modern psychology calls it "self talk".

When our society peer pressure say that we are not to talk to ourselves then they really mean just to not do it out loud and do it secretly so others can not hear. Thus hearing voices in one's mind is not neccessarily a negative activity.

:yay: I do love the study of psychology as it is very empowering and liberating too.
