I have been disaapointed with the quality of the topics on this site.
As well as some of the people here.
I was under the impression that the people here were tired of the S0-called 'church' and all of the nonsense going on by those calling themselves Leaders.
I see some,maybe most people here do not want freedom in Yeshua,they just want to be getting by with what they have been believing for soooo many years.
I thought that i might find at least ONE PERSON who i coud talk with regularly about the things of GOD.
Someone that was close to being like-minded as myself;
Yet alas,it has been the same as being in the same room with the Christians.
Some condemning you,and others.
Almost no edification to those that have different understandings about many things.
Yet some calling me an unbeliever,of the devil,being
angry,bitter,and uncaring about myself and others.
There have been a few bright spots though.
I have enjoyed when Thunder writes;
I see that he is an independent thinker,being concerned for others.
Willing to encourage as needed,and to rebuke as needed.
MsMarvel,is a delight.
I see that she has a sensitive spirit,that the Holy Spirit can convict,and bring about change in her life.
Growing in wisdom,grace,faith and in Knowing Yeshua.
Joeysings:
Another lovely lady,who has been a pleasure.
Intelligent,understanding the Word.
Willing to encourage and minister the Word to others.
There were others,yet these were removed.
I find some of the women here as angry,bitter and just plain sour as bitter lemons.
Having almost nothing constructive to say to myself,and others.
Then there is the man which thinks,he is the spiritual cop;
Cutting to shreds,almost everyone,and everything people would write.
Yet this man could not see that the very sin issues he pushed upon others,
He himself was so very guilty of,
And he did not want to be corrected in any way.
According to him,everyone was wrong,He was always right.
So sad,just sooooo sadddddddd.
Disappointments are bound to happen,as lng as this life continues.
It is how these disappointments are dealt with shows what is believed.
I will pray for those that argue,with me,and call me names.
I have pity for them seeing that they might be motivated by jealousy for the relationship,i have with my ABBA.
I hope that everyone has a Blessed and safe week.
Shalom
Meanie
ps:
I might not have very good grammar,for grammar is not going to save me from the Wrath of GOD against sin(s).
Yet by the Holy Spirit,He has given to me to knowing and trusting Yeshua to be saving me from the Wrath of GOD against sin(s).
You can pick your friends,where you live,and even your own NOSE;
I am disappointed that many are still teaching the old Covenant which is now **OBSOLETE**.
Hebrews 8:6-8,13: But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the Covenant of which he is a Mediator is SUPERIOR to the old one, and it is founded on better promises. For if there had been nothing wrong with the first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. But God found fault with the people and said, "The time is coming declares the Lord, when I will make a NEW COVENANT with the house of Israel...By calling this Covenant "NEW," He has made the first one OBSOLETE; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.
Hebrews 9:15,26b-28: Christ is the mediator of a NEW COVENANT so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance--now that He has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant...But now He has APPEARED once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the SACRIFICE of Himself... so Christ was SACRIFICED ONCE to take away the sins of many people, and He will *APPEAR* a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him when Jesus will bring in Everlasting Righteousness on the Last Day of the Last 7.
Hebrew 10:8-10: Jesus said, "Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them"Although the law required them to be made. The He {Jesus} said. "Here I am, I have come to do your will." He {Jesus} set aside the first {Covenant} to establish the second. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus ONCE FOR ALL!!
Isaiah 53:5,6: "But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed. We all like sheep have gone astray, each of us turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all!!"
In the old covenant God's commandments were only preached to Jews but in the New Covenant Jesus commands us to preach to every nation in the world teaching them to obey *EVERYTHING* He commanded and everything would also include all of the approximately 400 NT commandments also taught in Acts to Revelation {See 2 Timothy 3-16 to 4:2.}
There were 613 OT commandments and Jesus changed many of them including all of the strict Sabbath commands and all of the commands to stone someone for sinning {Jesus says that he who is without sin should cast the first stone} Jesus also eliminated all the strict Levitical dietary laws declaring that all foods are now clean. And Jesus also commanded us not to make any vows or oaths {Matt 5:33-37}on anything Just let your Yes be yes and your no no.
Jesus also eliminated the eye for an eye laws and commanded us to always offer up the other cheek and to love {See Matt 5:38-48} our enemies and of course Jesus eliminated all sacrifices and offerings for sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Jesus also eliminated the earthly rewards for faithful service and commanded us to sell our possessions and give to the poor and get treasures in heaven and THEN to come follow Him.
But one of the biggest changes was an addition to the OT Law love your neighbor as you love yourself which was replaced by
John 15:9-14:
Jesus says, "As the Father has loved Me , so I have loved you. Now remain in MY LOVE. **IF** you obey My commands, you will remain in MY LOVE...My command is this: **LOVE** each other AS I HAVE LOVED YOU!!! Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his live for his friends."
All of the approximately 400 NT commands differ from the OT Covenant in that they must all be kept *IN LOVE* just as Jesus loved us!!
John 14:23,24: Jesus says, "If anyone loves Me, He will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with Him. He who does not love Me will not obey My teaching." {See I John 2:3-5}
The New Covenant also promises countless unseen eternal heavenly rewards for faithful and loving service.*****
Ephesians 2:8,9: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the **GIFT** of God--not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do!"
Hebrews 11:1,6: Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see{Satan says you can have your pie now and God says you can have your UNSEEN pie in the sky by and by!}....And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to God must believe that He exists and that He **REWARDS** those who earnestly seek Him."
Ephesians 6:7,8: "Serve wholeheartedly...because you know that the Lord will *REWARD* everyone for whatever good he does!"
2 John 1:8: "Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be *REWARDED* fully!"
I Corinthians 3:6-9: Paul said, "I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God makes things grow. The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be *REWARDED* according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers!"
Daniel 12:3: "Those who impart wisdom will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever!"
Matthew 5:11,12: Jesus says, "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your *REWARD* in heaven!" {See Luke 6:35}
Revelation 22:12: Jesus says, "Behold, I am coming soon! My *REWARD* is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done!"
2 Corinthians 5:9,10: "So we make it our goal to please Him..For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad!"
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, For the Son of Man is going to come in His **FATHER'S GLORY WITH HIS ANGELS**:angel::angel:{See Matt 24:30-31;25:31-40 & 2 Thess 1:6-10}, and **THEN**{NOT NOW} He will *REWARD* each person according to what he has done.":applause:
Zec 13:6 And one hath said unto him, `What are these wounds in thy hands?' And he hath said, `Because I was smitten at home by my lovers.'
Zec 13:7 Sword, awake against My shepherd, And against a hero--My fellow, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts. Smite the shepherd, and scattered is the flock, And I have put back My hand on the little ones
Isa 53:10 And Jehovah hath delighted to bruise him, He hath made him sick, If his soul doth make an offering for guilt, He seeth seed--he prolongeth days, And the pleasure of Jehovah in his hand doth prosper.
Isa 53:11 Of the labour of his soul he seeth--he is satisfied, Through his knowledge give righteousness Doth the righteous one, My servant, to many, And their iniquities he doth bear.
Thank you, POIC. Deep calls unto deep and they will know us by our love. Let every man be a liar and God be true. Bless you brother in our Messiah. Selah and Shalom. :purpleangel:
I have met a wonderful, Godly man on here, and know that Yeshua has done this by His own hand. :applause::glow:
Well, yes some do persist in saying there is a new spirit, and he has all these all new revelations, but it is just pride being revealed in continual fits of carnality, just as they would say man can not respond to the gospel, he does not need to receive the holy spirit, because he has had supernatural revelations to his unrenewed mind.
Yea that is right right on this forum we have had some say the spiritually healed man, it is not physical healing and then if of all things was so wise to say that Jesus was not the son of the father of wealth.
1st Cor 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man�s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 � Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man�s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

Thank you, he is both of those and more. He loves Yeshua and does not like legalism. We talk every night and have done communion together and pray together every night. I trust my Lord. May he bring you your promised one in His time. :purpleangel::glow:
