I asked you to tell me what is better than to be in Deep, deep Love with the Spirit Of God?
How can anyone claim to Love the Spirit,?
How do we know the Living God?
How do we know who God is?
How do we know that Jesus was crucified died and was resurrected?
How do we know that we are Born Again?
How do we know that Gods seed remains in us?
How do we know all these things?
@amigo de christo said. IT really is bible time rita . i say that for our own good
RJ says @amigo de christo ...you need to get to know God more in your heart/ spirit.

The Spirit is a Living Spirit, do you deny this?
@amigo de christo said. IT really is bible time rita . i say that for our own good
RJ says @amigo de christo ...you need to get to know God more in your heart/ spirit.pray for more divine heart revelation...you only seem to believe that you only need bible knowledge @amigo de christo ..you are very much mistaken.we need divine heart knowledge.
We are Born Of The Spirit just as the word confirms.
We are not Born Of The Bible.
Bible knowledge by itself is nothing...you need to be Born Again to understand the written word.
Born of the Spirit , if we aren’t Born Again, then we would just be leading ourselves through scripture.
Only Gods Living witness His Living Holy Spirit can lead us through scripture and bring it to our understanding in our spirit...the Bible was written under the influence of the Spirit, therefore it can only be understood in spirit.

| Audio Crossref Comment Greek Verse (Click for Chapter) New International Version I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. New Living Translation asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. English Standard Version that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, Berean Standard Bible that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in your knowledge of Him. Berean Literal Bible that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, King James Bible That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: New King James Version that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, New American Standard Bible that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. 1 Corinthians 2:6-16 However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him." But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ. |
Jeremiah 29:11-1311 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

This is very depressing sister . I never said we are born of the bible . But we are born of HE who did INSPIRE that which
is written therein .
Why people act like the bible and spirit are contrary or that those who cling to the lovely truth in the bible
commit idolarty is quite sad sister . all i ever desired is good for people and to watch
people fight against simple reminders to read the bible is sad sister .
IF we have the LOVE of GOD within us we would have loved the TRUTH He inspired .
so reminding people of the dire need to be refreshed and to stay in the bible is not idolarty
Believe me , I do know we are born of the SPIRIT . and yes its only the SPIRIT which can open our understanding
to the scriptures . HE even put the love of TRUTH upon our heart .`

The Bible was written by men, under the influence of the Spirit..therefore fallible.
Gods witness His Living Holy Spirit who brings our spirit from death to life...is infallible.
Born Again not Of corruptible seed, Born Again of incorruptible seed.l
We must be Born Again in our spirit, by Gods Living witness His Living seed.
There’s the difference....we are spiritually Born Of God, a Living supernatural rebirth, reborn in our spirit.
Spirit gives birth to spirit.
Worship the Living Spirit Of God, we are not called to worship or love the Bible.
Loving God in our spirit, ..we must know him in Spirit...the Bible confirms this.

That is where they get you sister .
And this is why we have so much deception .
There are many who walk about that DO claim to be born again , that do claim to know GOD
that do claim to know CHRIST and yet what they hear from what they THINK is the SPIRIT
it has led them in the wrong direction , right into error , right into deception .
Ever wonder why PAUL told timothy
Ye have known the scripture since you were a child , WHICH makes one wise UNTO salvation
through FAITH IN JESUS the CHRIST .
Yet you say its fallible . PETER said ITS OF NO PRIVATE interpretation , fOR MEN didnt think it up sister
GOD spoke to men , men recorded HIS WORDS .
Therefore it would be highly wise we be in the bible , to learn for ourselves what most no longer teach
and if they do teach it , its to fit their own teachings .
DOES GOD STILL speak to us today . YES HE DOES . Does HE still speak through beleivers , YES HE DOES .
BUT TAKE HEED reader and all , IF any who does speak and brings a word , a message
and within that message it contradicts THE SCRIPS , that man teaches error not TRUTH .

Sometimes, people differentiate between head knowledge and heart knowledge of Jesus. Head knowledge refers to knowing what the Bible says about Him, while heart knowledge is believing in Him as your personal Savior and knowing the joy of the Lord's salvation.
Says you.
Do you understand that God is a Living Spirit, how would we know that?
The Bible is fallible, because it was written by men, men/ woman are fallible.
You need to learn of God via His Spirit, ask him to penetrate your heart/ spirit more deeply, so that your heart/ spirit gets to know him more..not your brain/ mind.
A Born Again has a personal Living relationship with God, via his Spirit.
We are Sons / Daughters Of the most high..spirit children.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them,because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things
You never answered one of my questions I asked of you?
Sorry Brother I only see biblical knowledge from you..very little heart knowledge @amigo de christo
Do you permanently know the Love Of God in your heart/ spirit?

the questions were answered . You just did not like the answer .
If you want to see heart knowledge follow me around a bit and see how often
i POINT folks to CHRIST and not rather to this idea that more and more now embrace which tries
to imply that since GOD is love and HE does desire none to perish , well it wont matter if one beleived JESUS was CHRIST or not
YOU see i expose that lie . I dont give a false hope to the world . because the LOVE of GOD within me
BY HIS SPIRIT truly does desire LIFE for the people . GOD is LOVE and HE DOES not desire even the death of the wicked
SO it is why HE SENT the SON so that all who do BELEIVE IN HIM will not perish .
Heart knowledge that cometh of GOD would have LOVED TRUTH . it would have REJOICED in truth
and not try and find away around truth . Charity rejoices IN truth and every word of GOD is TRUTH .
All them examples in that bible were written for OUR LEARNING rita . not to be called fallible but to be LEARNED .
Beware rita for many men can appear to be very kind , very loving , to desire what is best for you and for humanity
AND YET THEY CARE NOT for one sheep . My advice stands . Get in and stay in the bible daily and be refreshed
daily by those reminders left to us by THE true apostels and meant for the good of the church .

And now for a reminder which i think you already know .
If a man claims to BELIEVE IN HIM and yet sure dont seem to believe HIS words but rather heeds men who omits HIS words
and twists His words , then WHO are they BELEIVING IN . IN HIM , OR IN MAN who sure can preach another jesus
another gospel . MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE
And HIS VOICE would not DENY HIS WORDS . As i am sure you would agree

Matthew 23
New Living Translation
Jesus Criticizes the Religious Leaders
23 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, 2 “The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees are the official interpreters of the law of Moses.[a] 3 So practice and obey whatever they tell you, but don’t follow their example. For they don’t practice what they teach. 4 They crush people with unbearable religious demands and never lift a finger to ease the burden.5 “Everything they do is for show. On their arms they wear extra wide prayer boxes with Scripture verses inside, and they wear robes with extra long tassels.[b] 6 And they love to sit at the head table at banquets and in the seats of honor in the synagogues. 7 They love to receive respectful greetings as they walk in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi.’[c]
8 “Don’t let anyone call you ‘Rabbi,’ for you have only one teacher, and all of you are equal as brothers and sisters.[d] 9 And don’t address anyone here on earth as ‘Father,’ for only God in heaven is your Father. 10 And don’t let anyone call you ‘Teacher,’ for you have only one teacher, the Messiah. 11 The greatest among you must be a servant. 12 But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
13 “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces. You won’t go in yourselves, and you don’t let others enter either.[e]
15 “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you cross land and sea to make one convert, and then you turn that person into twice the child of hell[f] you yourselves are!
16 “Blind guides! What sorrow awaits you! For you say that it means nothing to swear ‘by God’s Temple,’ but that it is binding to swear ‘by the gold in the Temple.’ 17 Blind fools! Which is more important—the gold or the Temple that makes the gold sacred? 18 And you say that to swear ‘by the altar’ is not binding, but to swear ‘by the gifts on the altar’ is binding. 19 How blind! For which is more important—the gift on the altar or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 When you swear ‘by the altar,’ you are swearing by it and by everything on it. 21 And when you swear ‘by the Temple,’ you are swearing by it and by God, who lives in it. 22 And when you swear ‘by heaven,’ you are swearing by the throne of God and by God, who sits on the throne.
23 “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens,[g] but you ignore the more important aspects of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things. 24 Blind guides! You strain your water so you won’t accidentally swallow a gnat, but you swallow a camel![h]
25 “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy—full of greed and self-indulgence! 26 You blind Pharisee! First wash the inside of the cup and the dish,[i] and then the outside will become clean, too.
27 “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs—beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people’s bones and all sorts of impurity. 28 Outwardly you look like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness.
29 “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you build tombs for the prophets your ancestors killed, and you decorate the monuments of the godly people your ancestors destroyed. 30 Then you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would never have joined them in killing the prophets.’
31 “But in saying that, you testify against yourselves that you are indeed the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Go ahead and finish what your ancestors started. 33 Snakes! Sons of vipers! How will you escape the judgment of hell?
34 “Therefore, I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers of religious law. But you will kill some by crucifixion, and you will flog others with whips in your synagogues, chasing them from city to city. 35 As a result, you will be held responsible for the murder of all godly people of all time—from the murder of righteous Abel to the murder of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you killed in the Temple between the sanctuary and the altar. 36 I tell you the truth, this judgment will fall on this very generation.
