Amen!....it’s exciting and indescribable how we communicate with our Living God, from within our spirit, as it’s Born Again, in direct fellowship and communication with the Living God...mind Blowing.
Limited atonement is a false gospel

There us only one Spirit sent to us as our Spirit Guide. The Creator sent Him. The rest are mere counterfeits.
Just as there is only one Shepherd Guide, Sent to guide us.
As Jesus said, we His sheep won't listen to strangers, in fact we will run from them.
It doesn't take long to get to know the difference between Jesus and Satan, a shepherd and a lion.

Amen!
Matthew 3:12NLT. He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never-ending fire.”
It still causes me to wonder why many who identify as Christian over estimate the power, authority, ability, influence Satan and his angels have over Jesus's born again followers (sheep).
And at the same time how they underestimate the power, authority, ability, influence Jesus and his angels have over Jesus's born again followers (sheep).
Satan:
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.
Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
Jesus:
I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end.
These 2 dont sound anything alike.

Do you mean the "spirit guide" you have hasn't taught you that? Why do you use provocative language on purpose....people who do that need to examine themselves in the light of the Lord and find out. I know why because I've seen it before, and seen what it leads to, the Lord thankfully giving me eyes to see.
The point is that it can happen to us. "Ichabod" is the saddest and ugliest part.......the Spirit of God departing the Temple....and what that is a picture of for the church, His new covenant temple. The good part is the remnant who are saved, but the rest FALL, sadly. Which invites judgment and wrath. Those who believe it can't happen to born again believers are in error, as those things happened to Israel and were written down as examples/allegories for the church's admonition. If we're wise we will take our Almighty heavenly Father seriously and get rid of any cavalier and flippant attitudes, which are not a sign of maturity and aren't fruits of the HOLY Spirit. Those who don't mature up are most vulnerable to being deceived and led astray.
On the other hand Satan masquerades as the Lion of Judah, no? So we need to be careful, not care-less. We don't want to over-estimate him, but it doesn't do to under-estimate anything either. The devil isn't really the problem in a way, WE are. We need to be sober and alert, walking circumspectly before the Lord.

Nevertheless, haven't you read that ALL scripture is profitable.....? (As long as it is scripture and not a paraphrase.) When you know the scriptures well enough you start to see how perfect it is and give God the glory for it.....and that it is all unified and harmonious. Anything that appears to the carnal mind to be contradictory is easily resolved when we see and understand by the Holy Spirit. It's not wise or profitable to undermine and cast doubt on the written word of God. His word will never pass away........He preserves it.
I was more asking you specifically what you mean by your use of the term strong meat.
I'm confident that whoever wrote these words of theirs in their scroll knew what they meant. But again, what do you mean by them?

What do you think it means? I sometimes miss my childhood. With wisdom comes sorrow, as Solomon wrote.
I've never used those 2 words together that's all. And I'm guessing you are using it as a metaphor. But for what?
I was more asking you specifically what you mean by your use of the term strong meat.
I guess the reason I ask is that as I've spoken to many Christians and their use of certain biblical words and terms, they struggle to give a clear concise definition or interpretation when questioned. Nothing personal.
Scripture is beneficial and profitable for sure. Does it contain every word that proceeds from the mouth of God? Certainly not. Far far far from it. But is is useful.
the scriptures that is contained in the various biblical canons you mean?
what do you mean by what youve said here?
we are discussing it i thought. As this is a Christian debate forum
agreed
Yes, every word God has spoken has been preserved within Him.
Jesus said all that His Father has is His.
Jesus said the Spirit will take from Him and make it know to us.
I am soooo grateful for new revelations of truth that don't have their origin in the bibles.

Satan masquerades as an angel of light to those who are not saved and don't know better. The Born again from above know Jesus and knows His voice and cannot be fooled, by a fake. By the way, the devil has spoken to me. I know his voice too. I can't be fooled.
I believe there are those who struggle with Jesus's words.
He who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”

John 10
New King James Version
Jesus the True Shepherd
10 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.
Jesus the Good Shepherd
7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who ever came [a]before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. 12 But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. 13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. 15 As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.
17 “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. 18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.”
19 Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings. 20 And many of them said, “He has a demon and is [c]mad. Why do you listen to Him?”
21 Others said, “These are not the words of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
The Shepherd Knows His Sheep
22 Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon’s porch. 24 Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in [d]doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one.”

I have a friend who is constantly in her bible, in fact she has about 7 bibles.
When I have tried to talk to her about the Living Spirit Of God, she just couldn’t relate...we had to part ways in the end,,,
Wether she was Born Again or not, I have no idea....all of what she spoke to me, sounded like a confused mess...now wether the devil had gotten into her head....it sure did sound like it...poor woman, she was extremely highly strung as well....I do pray for her...that she will come to know the Love Of God in her heart...even when I mentioned to her that God is a Living Spirit....there was fear in her eyes, I could see it straight away....what do you make of that @Rockerduck @One 2 question ?

I've known churches full of people like that. They can read the bible and apply it, but talk about the Living Word of God, walk by faith, walking in the Spirit, I get questions, and I show them in the bible, but they still don't understand. As you have found out, it hard to describe the Power of the Holy Spirit that lives in you and makes you alive. I got out of my car once in a parking lot, and I saw a fish on a car that just pulled up. She got out and I said I saw the fish on the back. I started praising Jesus. She just looked at me. I hope she was thinking, I wish I was that excited.
I would ask you, what is Spirit saying to you in this relationship?
The great truth is that the Spirit doesn't have to inform you of what He is going to do in this situation. He will just go about God's business and get it done. This we can be sure of.

Get out of it, which I did and pray that she comes to know me in her heart...God that is...that’s what I believe the Living Spirit was telling me to do.....there was no life in her spirit..she was dead in spirit imo.......just a load of religious talk...anyway, since leaving that friendship.i am at peace within my heart.
I pray for her that she comes to know the Living Spirit Of God in her heart...
