Galatians 5:22-23
New International Version
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Is Karl Peters showing the fruit of the Spirit, does he even know what the fruit of the Spirit means.
It certainly doesn’t seem that way ....has he thrown his Bible out, is he now going by what he believes he hears in his head.....
The Bible is our guide book, it’s said in Spirit and truth..it was written by men who were under divine inspiration , the Holy Spirit......Karl Peters is not the Spirit Of Truth, that’s why I would never listen to him....he imo is a self processed teacher....all in my opinion.
The Bible is not "our guide book" it is like His text book!!
We are not guided by the Bible, we are guide by listening to Him - or have you not read:
Jn 10:4 “When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
And that is where you are wrong on all you false assumptions! You don't hear His voice so you don't follow Him!!
You read a verse like the above you quoted:
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
And you completely miss the phrase "the fruit of the Spirit" and think that is your fruit! So you lean on your own understanding, white wash yourself, and think you are the one who is loving!
Did you not read:
1 Jn 4:16 We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
So you abide in Him nor He is you if you don't open up to Him and listen to Him! You just give a pretense of it! You pretend by saying the Bible is the one thing necessary, which you did, and that shows that you are not listening to the Great IAM whose name is called "The Word of God."
Rev 19:13 He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.
Rev 22:13“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
And because you don't actually listen to Him but lean on your own understanding of the orderly lines of text that you read a little here and there, you wind up calling the text the written word!
When you can quote the proper scripture by the written word, in how the Lord says we are Born Again, you don’t, you post of your own accord.
In fact you got all of the quote above wrong!! Jesus did not say we are Born Again, He said you must be Born Again. What makes you think you are? He also said those Born Again hear the sound of the Wind, but you talk about reading what is written. And concerning being Born Again Jesus explained we testified of what we know and said you don't accept our testimony. So yes we do even 'post of our own accord, our own testimony, about what we hear. But you don't have anything to tell us as a testimony of what you have heard. So you were wrong three times in just one line of your post. I can go over all of it, but Isaiah prophesied correctly concerning those who do not listen to the Lord and so call the orderly lines of text they read a little here and there, 'the word'.
Is 28:12,13 He who said to them, “Here is rest, give rest to the weary,”
And, “Here is repose,” but they would not listen.
So the word of the LORD to them will be,
“Order on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there,”
That they may go and stumble backward, be broken, snared and taken captive.
Because you "would not listen" the word of the Lord to you has become "Order on order, order on order, Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there, - that is to say the word of the Lord to you has become "the written word" and not the voice of the Lord. And that has resulted exactly what Isaiah wrote that it would - it has resulted in you stumbling backward, broken, snared, and taken captive by the enemies of God. That snake of old has never wanted us to go about listening to the Lord our God Jesus Christ, but has wanted us to lean on our own understanding!
Have you not read:
Gen 3:1 ...And he said to the woman, “Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?”
and
Gen 3: 4,5 The serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die!
“For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
So you go around telling others that they can eat of the tree of knowledge and their eyes will be opened and will be like God, knowing good and evil. - But perhaps you never had the parables and saying in the Bible explained to you?
The fact is that no matter how much knowledge you get, even from the Bible, you will never ever be like God, knowing good and evil!! But you can personally get to know God, who knows what is good and evil! You can seek Him, find Him, and listen to Him, as opposed to continually leaning on your own understanding. Or have you not read:
Gal 3:22 But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
But you keep going back to leaning on your understanding of the Scriptures instead of seek the voice of the Lord and talking to Him, so you are missing out on the promise by faith in Jesus Christ because you don't actually believe in Him - that He is there to talk with, to hear from, to be taught by! And while you don't see it, that shows in everything you write!
It shows in your thinking you are the loving One, instead of going to the loving One and listening to Him. It shows because you get upset when I do point you to the loving One and try and get you to listen to Him, which of course is the right and loving thing to do - or have you not read:
Rev 3:19 ‘Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.
And you don't realize that I point to Him and reprove because He asks me to! You think I am against you, but I tell you that He is for you and He loves you, so He reproves you, but you don't listen to Him and His Holy Spirit who brings your spirit His words of God, but you constantly lean on your own understanding so He has to send other people to tell you to listen to Him who sends His Spirit with His words to you personally, if only you would listen to Him!! Or did you not read the next verse:
Rev 3:20 ‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.
It does not say that He will give you written words, but it explains that He will actually come into you and dine personally with you and you with Him. Or have you not also read:
Is 1:18 “Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the LORD,
“Though your sins are as scarlet,
They will be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They will be like wool.
You cannot reason with "the written word" if that is what you insist on calling the Scriptures (which in Greek was Graphe and Graphe is not translated 'word; in your Bible) because the Bible can not think, talk, discuss, or judge things. However Jesus Christ can and does think, talk, and judge things, because He is the living Word of God!! He is alive and active! And you, indeed anyone, can in fact turn to Him by faith and talk with Him, but who will believe in Him?
So I have told you, explained this, used Scripture upon Scripture to back up what I am telling you, and have even testified to what I have heard and seen, just like it is written:
Jn 3:8 “The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
So again it does not say you are Born Again, it says if your are born of the Spirit you "heard" (not read) the sound of the wind! But you write "the written word of God", so what do you know about hearing the Word of God?
And did you not read:
Jn 3:11 “Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony.
And that is what's happening here! I am telling you to listen to Him, but you come back telling us that only one thing is needed and that is read the Bible. And when I reprove you by showing you that the Lord said only one thing was needed and that was listening to Him, like Mary was doing, you rejected that! But I knew you would because He took me to Ezek 3 and told me that they would not listen to me because they were not willing to listen to Him!
Ezek 3: 7 yet the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, since they are not willing to listen to Me. Surely the whole house of Israel is stubborn and obstinate.
All I have been telling you, with all my writings, is simply just seek Him by faith and listen to Him, but you stubbornly refuse to do that!
