You might have thought you left Him in the truck, but He never left you.
This stuff is getting silly.

I understood what you were saying.
You ended your CONVERSATION with Jesus when you left the truck.
So, basically, you left him in the truck. (where he was when you ended your conversation)
Later, you realized your error and entered BACK into the conversation. Right?

/

Yes, exactly.

What is and that which is to come will merge them all as one . No longer will the false religions be so divided
but rather united . BUT IT AINT gonna be under GOD my friend .
They will have one common enemy , fundamental bible believing christains .
For those did not get unequally yoked together under the banner of a false love or tolerance and thus did not fall away to the lie .
But many are now overlooking doctrines for sake of unity . This will not bode well , nor end well for those who start down that path .
Leaven is like a man who went to the top of the hill in winter .
And He saw a sign that said do not make snow balls to roll down this hill .
But the man thought to himself , what is the danger in making just one little snow ball
and rolling it down this hill .
The danger , it will gather much more snow with it as it travels down the hill and at the end will destroy that which is in its path .
SO TOO is leaven . Let a little in , and surely more will enter till the whole house be consumed .

You ever accidently put too much yeast in homemade bread? It gives a graphic demonstration of this principle. Things got out of hand. So is evil. They are screaming Tolerance and acceptance. Let's all celebrate diversitity! But that is coming into agreement with the spirit of that and is the way that the leaven gets into the loaf.

Years back I wandered into a prayer meeting - all strangers - as I walked in the door a lady came up to me with bible open showing the verse "they shall have witty inventions" You are an inventor she said and the body of Christ needs the gift. total stranger - I have never forgotten. We are calling our startup Godwit Innovations after the bird that has the best endurance record - and this old fella somehow has endured. Glory to Jesus - but hey am I derailing a thread ?
I guess WE got an OK from St SteVen so what more do we need? :Happy: He starts new threads faster than I can change underwear, and he started this one.

So I do want to say that the "witty inventions" verse also came to my mind when I was posting back to you. But I think you heard what I heard, sounds like. And it meets the standard for prophesy, if you were "edified". Can't show you a chapter/verse for everything I spoke though. There, now I'm back on topic.


1CO 14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

Yep, we who are prophesying are speaking the "WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD" to us today. Thank God I have FELLOWSHIP and not just a RELATIONSHIP of being a son who is spiritually mute.

You'll have to let us know a little more about your invention name. Just did Google it. A BIRD!!! Wow, and I thought the Albatross flew a long ways nonstop. Now just need the cover lifted for a peek at what it is.

Very good analogy. Praise the Lord.

A lot of the prophesies that folks are prophesying are not coming true. Look at most of the TV preachers.

And as an aside, I'm sure all of us have fellowship with the Lord. You are not exclusive just because you say He talks to you. My Lord speaks through His Word, the Bible. Have you cast yours away yet?

What is the chaff to the wheat . These be the last days and many are not gonna make it .
the love of and for the truth abides not in them .
men will do as men will do
but lambs gonna do as JESUS bid to do . Many are not gonna make it and have chosen the delusion of men
which has fed their heart to the full with the darkness that has portrayed itself as light .
the god who has said Ye are as gods do as thou wilt has taken hold of christendom now .
and the bible GOD inspired is no longer the meat that many desire . These are very sad days
as the few watch the many embrace the lie .
Enter in through the narrow strait gate. For broad is the path that leads to destruction.

And few there be that find it?

As if God is making sport of our eternal destination?
What sort of God would do that? Sounds cruel and sadistic.

So puzzling that only a few could find it?
What becomes of those who fail in the effort?

You just accused JESUS of being a cruel monster . Your love is false and of the world .
Not so puzzling , rather Many denied it unto their own destruction .
WHY . cause they no like the biblical version of JESUS who is no ministir of their sin .
THUS the false men of christendom created another lovey do version of JESUS that does accept certain sins
and religoins as valid ways . THE DEVIL DONT SLEEP NOR REST . And many have and many now do love a lie
that they think is THE LOVE OF GOD . IT wont bode well for many on the DAY of the LORD .
and you know what they all have in common . THEY OMIT parts of the bible
they also are fast to accuse those who stick to the bible as being IN IDOLATRY . BUT ITS THEY WHO IDOLZ the words of men .

Oh, golly, what a mess.

One thing we see among those caught in the snare of Bibliolatry is not only the cocksure self-righteous arrogance we see in some of the posts here but also an assumption that those not caught in the snare are inevitably wildly progressive, anything-goes, watered-down pseudo Christians who celebrate gay and transgender marriages, vote for Hillary, and all the rest.

Uh, no.

At one particular forum, I at least am viewed as a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal insofar as progressive issues are concerned. I am as conservative as it is possible to be on many hot-button issues. On one thread here just yesterday, about the LGBTQ+++ community, one progressive Christian had distinctly un-progressive things to say about my posts.

This attitude that if you aren't caught in the snare of Bibliolatry you are inevitably caught in the snare of Progressive Evil is just a fiction and a straw man that gives those who are caught in the snare an easy target and an outlet for their cocksure self-righteous arrogance. Indeed, Bibliolatry allows little room for anything but this sort of arrogance, which is why the worst fistfights occur when one Bibliolator encounters another Bibliolator who has different Bibliocratic views.

Carl, long time no see/hear. Hello Bro!! :pfite: Are you still talking about being on 'the OLD CF forum', The one where I got 'the left foot' of fellowship, after 10 years and over 5,000 posts.

Why, someone 'might' ask? Well, they 'decided' I was not a Christian. Wow, talk about delayed spiritual discernment.....or maybe just a religious spirit on steroids. Good to see your 'picture/face' again.
Hey, I was booted from that forum too, and I can't even remember why! I also remember Carl very well and had some good exchanges with him.

Famed criminal defense lawyer F. Lee Bailey once said that any defense lawyer who had never gone to jail for contempt of court wasn't a real lawyer. Perhaps any Christian who hasn't been banned from a Christian forum isn't a real Christian? :laughing:

Wow, Bibliocratic.
That may be worth a topic right there.

Is that the more conservative party of the Bibliopublic? - LOL

They seem to have a long and colorful history.

Acts 15:5 NIV
Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said,
“The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to keep the law of Moses.”

Everyone is under NDA at this stage, need patents in place, but the device is called the 'bird anemometer'.

Here is how God works - had lunch at our place with a group from church - I show one fellow from Singapore an early concept prototype. Now he had a 'Word' to support us and has Masters in Aeronautical engineering and doing a Phd. This opened the doors to university support. Now this fellow had had a heart attack early in life and was really mellow towards Jesus bathing in the miracle of still being alive. We work well together. Our 'mentor' has 40 patents in the space industry and has been hugely supportive. So I have always been tinkering around with the little I had, believing He can multiply. As promised - more that you could ask or thnk.

I believe enterprise is to be part of what God releases going forward to support His purposes in this late hour.

Agreed.
I have no problem with bibliophiles. (the Bible as a hobby, not a god)

/

Somewhere there is a balance...

The Scripture is given as a primary source of revelation along with the creation and His continuous prophetic word.

Hobby is rather an inadequate word for text many have died for.

But I know what you mean.
