You didn’t answer my question . Was Jesus resurrected bodily and is He still a man in heaven ?

Let’s see if you know what the meaning of today is or will you run away again and avoid answering .
All I ever hear in your rantings is...caw caw caw. You must like typing...

I’m confused. Isn’t repent to change? To turn?

The modern church represents the fallen nature...no need to repent. In fact, it is the ego that is being boosted in so many modern ministries.
Instead of…. telling her to repent and turn to God. Isn’t this the same as a legalistic church telling her she must change first. When change is “to repent”. To me the legalistic church is not saying change but keep your own ways and build upon them.

Exactly. Now that the carnal ways become religious that is seen as "saved."

You must like denying the Son of man and His bodily Resurrection, Ascension and 2nd Coming.
Why do you insist that I must do that? I don't listen to you or practice your tomfoolery. Go caw to the other crows...you might even get some likes for your denial of the truth.

For those who have a brave inner man who have hung in with me here in spite of all the vicious attacks by the religiously deluded... here is a little song to uplift your spirit. It's time to be brave in the Lord and stand against the purveyors of the great lie.

Happy Easter John! Thank you for this song. It did lift me up. Now how is that possible according to you. Let this song play through to the third song. Now that song really lifts me up. Blessings!

In the world at large intelligent people are being silenced so that the unintelligent people won't be offended. And this is trickle down tomfoolery from the churches. In modern church circles...and here... the spiritual ones are being silenced so that the carnal ones won't be offended.

You cannot confess Jesus has come in the flesh . The spirit of antichrist denies it just like you . 1 John 4:2-3, 2 John 1:7.

You fail the test of the spirits as per John’s teaching.

hope this helps !!!

She is trying to expose the dead..
Maybe epi could say the same. What remains to be seen is: who is exposing the dead?

There was a time I attacked epi too. So I’m not a cult follower of his. I viewed him when he came here as selling some garbage of promoting himself. That was my perspective. But now these are some things I consider. The blame that he doesn’t quote or read the word. Ever. Is that true? Because that confuses me because often times he sees things in the word that are not regurgitated mens doctrines. I remember reading once something he shared about the walls of Jericho. Goliath and David (to name a few). So to be honest; it seems insane to blame someone for not reading the word when …maybe they are more intimate with the word than those reading and quoting what men have told them the word says. Another that I think of is Byrd here. I’ve read him be called a Muslim too. Or having a connection. I’ve read him called all kinds of names. But the way Byrd reads the word is will fresh eyes, not following other mens doctrines. He has been kicked off so many times for making people mad. I remember once he wrote a post to a member about coming to kill and and take your children…something like that. Who he wrote too became angry and assumed he was threatening to come kill his children. The one he had said this too was spinning yelling “He just threatened me and my family!” Growling “come in over here buddy.” I didn’t see it that way, I still do not believe it had anything to do with the guys family…but instead Byrd was talking about religion. A wake up call. Point is…there are others on the board who read the word trying to get untangled from mens doctrines. Would I rather go sit with them even if others are saying they are the ones spouting the enemies doctrines. Absolutely. I would go sit with epi at the table.

You're basically a religious nut. Keep up your cross denying, Jesus denying, bible denying, Spirit denying, cessasionist, dispensationalist cover up for as long as you can... because judgment is coming. OR.....surprise the principalities and powers that control you and... Repent, and go to the cross..that is a much wiser choice. :tiphat:
Keep denying the bodily Resurrection of Jesus which leaves you dead in your sins and your faith is in vain. I have scripture on my side unlike you.

1 Corinthians 15:17
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

hope this helps !!!

Thank you for your kind words sister. You have an inner man courage to say what you did. And you would be welcome to sup with us anytime! :) See I am bold on these threads to strengthen the inner man in people...giving them courage and hope...to resist the death that man-made religion brings. In Christ is life everlasting.

The outer man is easily twice as strong as the inner man in a given person. What happens when you build up the outer man with religion is that the part that God wants to save....the inner man...is totally "buried" like the talent in the parable.

Jesus said that hypocrites go to great lengths to convert people to their ideas...but is so doing make them worse than before. Jesus puts it in an even starker tone. I don't have to see any more about it since judgment is coming quickly.

You crows are attracted to what is dead...and are circling over my threads in thinking that I will adopt your dead works. But I will shoo you away with every breath in my body. I know your religious way of men. They are by indoctrination...and are dead.

Instead, why not seek the Lord while you still can??? Maybe He will accept you? How will you know if you never try?

The ad hominems continue another day . Give it a rest and try Jesus method of blessing others , even the hypocrites love their own. You have no concept of biblical love. Just the same love as the Pharisees possessed.

I am simply reflecting the love that Jesus had for the Pharisees. They sought to steal God's love for what God rejects...the outer man.

Let your inner man out of bondage...even for a moment...and you will see a whole other aspect from me. And that is not to mention how that will affect your eternal destiny.

Yes, and there is no mention of the part JESUS played in the new birth. The feeling I get is like something floating on air without a solid foundation. The first ten minutes sounds like New Age rather than Christianity and it makes me want to ask the speaker what he thinks the difference is between New Age and the gospel. There is an emphasis on something called "eternal consciousness" throughout the video as if that is the salient point of being born again, which makes the message man-centred, when it should be Christ-centred. The point of being born again is that our sins have been forgiven and we have been reconciled to the FATHER through the blood of CHRIST and have been born anew of HIM as new creatures, into HIS family as children of God, receiving the spirit of adoption! We have been awakened into an awareness of a PERSON whose name is Jesus the Christ! Any message on being born again needs to be rooted and grounded in HIM, one would think. Jesus is practically absent from the message, except a couple of almost peripheral mentions of Christ later on, instead of being at the centre of the message.
I notice that epi often brings up the word ego too . WE STICKING TO CHRIST DEAR SISTER .
That glorious gospel of the LORD . That focuses on the dire need to believe on HE whom GOD did send .
So long was we continually remind all that one must believe in Christ , it shuts down every single avenue
of appraoch that others try to bring in to bait folks into this other go spell .

I don't hate Muslims....I was just sharing my discernment of that dream. It didn't feel right. Did God give you any scripture to go along with it? Did you wait on Him to understand what it meant? When I have a dream or vision, the Lord generally gives me scripture to confirm it or show what it meant.

Please answer my question. Because that is what I seem to discern with you on your videos, the same thing I have discerned in meeting those who are either Buddhist or are into yoga. There are Christians who do yoga.
all they have is accusations . When we bring the truth about having to believe on Christ
we get accused of hating others . Never fall for it .
IF even the very jews had to repent and believe on Christ , then we know ALL other false religions must do the same .
OUR MESSAGE IS LOVE for it points to the dire necessity of CHRIST
its their message that is hate , cause it allows for a false hope that cannot save .

Did you forget that you have to believe in Jesus...even for a second? Keep pointing to the cross??? Why not GO to the cross? Why not seek the God you say you believe in?

Does God love your lip-service as you do? Back it up....Go to the cross.

All he has is accusations . We have CHRIST . POINT TO HE ALONE
no matter what they accuse us of . The world hated Christ , marvel not if it hates us .
The wordly accused CHRIST , marvel not if it accuses us .
Just keep pointing to CHRIST . Its not us who are the crows or the vultures .
The vulture feeds on that which is already dead . Their doctrine is death and it offers not life .
WE feast on that which is LIFE , EVERY WORD OFJESUS . march on my friend
and be only encouraged and not discouraged . THE LORD is our hope and our salvation . THERE simply is no other
hope than CHRIST JESUS .

If you think my reminders about having to believe on CHRIST are gonna slow down
you are in for a very long day , week , month and etc .
I know you very well epi . You need the reminders of believing on HIM to cease
so you can get a foothold in . WONT BE HAPPENING ON MY WATCH .
And ps , YOU NEED TO GO TO THE CROSS . Its not me preaching a cross without having to believe in the ONE WHO
BORE our sins on said cross . ITS YOU . the cross without faith in CHRIST , IS NO CROSS EPI . and till you figure that one out
you are still in your sins .

More virtue-signalling. A self-righteous rant if there ever was one. This is passive agressive look at how holy I am...holier than thou hypocrisy. Why don't you follow your own advice and turn to Christ. But don't stop there...point to Christ. But don't stop there GO to Christ. Go to the cross and be delivered from your self-righteous pontifications.

You won't need to pretend and be puffed up if you are truly made alive in Christ. Stop being a fake...go to where the dead are raised.

Go to the cross. Stop playing religious games.

Baby steps...baby steps...

Religous nut . be prepared for far worse names than these my friend .
The social gospel has turned them against the very Christ and those who preach HIM .
They think their social gospel will save them and all other religoins too .
As for us , we gonna point to HE ALONE who saves . JESUS CHRIST .
