Hey Sacha! My prayer is simple - all your inquiries are genuine and that you truly seek the truth. I say this because your questions remind me of the time that the apostle Paul was on Mars Hill in Athens ( Acts 17) talking to the people gathered there.
All of your questions are readily answered and covered in the scriptures. I recommend you read the KJV of the Bible. The questions you raised are not anything to be surprised at, nor to get excited about. You have not stated that you don't believe in the devil, just in a certain behavior by him.
I agree with you about hell, because there are the ignorant and sinners in heaven also (like me), and the demons don't do the torturing in hell.
I agree with you whole heartedly, that I too do not believe "any" will go to heaven, only a certain group (of which I am a part of).
As far as the scriptures you have referenced - Mark 13: 32 and Genesis 22- to truly understand them you must read and study it in its entirety. I mean the whole chapter should be read and especially the complete Bible.
However, truth cannot be understood unless you have the same mind as the Author of the Scriptures. You must be born again to understand the whole counsel of the Lord God Jesus Christ.
From your other posts on this forum, you seem to be knowledgeable of the Words of God. I thank you for your kind words of blessing from your god. I extend to you the blessings of the true God of the Scriptures of whom I serve. May His face shine on you and your family.
Ok everyone ,this seems like as good a time as any so im going to put myself right out there and before i do may i say that it is a testament to you all that i feel safe enough here to tell you all the other things that i dont believe ,hang on to your hats ! I dont believe that the devil is some sort of supernatural being that seduces us into sinfull ways ,i dont believe that hell as a place where the ignorant and sinners go to be tortured by demons for eternity exists and i dont believe that any of us will go to heaven .Questions will be answered one at a time at my earliest convenience ,thankyou for listening and i still would like some one to please explain Mark ch13 v32 and Genesis ch22 ,thankyou again .Its 10-30pm here so im off to bed ,goodnight and may God continue to bless you all everyday .
From just a simple reading of Genesis chapter 49, it would be difficult to formulate an association of Jacob's twelve sons with the twelve signs of the zodiac. I wonder whether your husband has been influenced by some extra-biblical readings, such as by Thomas Mann and his book, "Joseph and his brothers" written over 17 years (1926-1943). In that book, Mann certainly uses the biblical account of Genesis but adds much more to his book that is clearly unbiblical & taken from other writings or his own imaginations. Or, your husband may have read from other publications to form his view.
As "All Scripture is given by the inspiration of God" ( 2 Timothy 3:16), Jacob could well have given his blessings/prophecy on his sons based on their character & life's propensities, but certainly inspired by God to reveal much more than Jacob would have known. And knowing what an important part the 12 Tribes have played in the history of Israel, it seems clear that those blessings were ordained of God & not as a result of Jacob's consultation with the stars.
According to him it's in the 49th chap. of Genesis. I do not accept this because his blessing was according to their character. I think he bases it on the fact of the word Judah bases because Judah is referred to as a Lion.
I was speaking to another friend during this conversation not King James in pertulicar! All Bibical discussions should be discussed at the discretion of the person. If there are guidelines then it using free discussion! If you had read the result of that discussion I had made it in direct reasoning of the biblical verse! Thank you I shall make my next discussion private!
Hi Clara ,Abraham did not ever have anything to do with astrology ,if your husband keeps insisting about this then i would ask him to prove it and show you where it says this in the Bible ,if he is able to do this please come back on here and tell us which book and chapter and verse your husband thinks indicates this ,i would love to know why he thinks this ,thankyou and him and may God bless you both .
Did Abraham bless his Son's according to the signs of the zodiac or was it according to their character? My husband says it was according to the zodiac I disagree.
18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits (demons), and unto WIZARDS that PEEP, and that MUTTER: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this WORD (the Bible), it is because there is no light in them.
21 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king (parents) and their God, and look upward.
22 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness (EVIL).
Comment: I believe this passage is speaking about COMPUTERS. In the days of AOL, when you turned the computer to go into aol chat rooms, the computer "peeped and muttered".
Example, listen to opening credits on the movie: "You've Got Mail". You'll hear the sounds.
Google is not necessarily our pals. I was told one new search engine is reliable as far as privacy: DuckDuckGo. You'd have to change your browser.
Browsers have become a tool to capture people so they can spy on our browsing habits. This bears some looking into.
Turning little kids loose on the Internet is not safe. If you're safe, their friends parents may be wreckless in strictness and control of what children view, hear.
It's NOT Tom & Jerry anymore, folks! They're playing witches, warlocks, thrones, kingdoms; some games are outright OCCULT. In the Bible, people who created these games, get other people interested in the occult: are living under Gods Death sentence. There are demons associated with this subject matter. Demons that disturb your sleep, concentration, attitudes and more!
I was reading Corinithians 1 verse 40& 41 I was interested in the new reports of aliens and the Space sightings of strange ships, and if it here in these verses explain the differences in stars in the heavens and if there may be different bodies we don't know about?

Why was this fact chosen to be the only question? Why is it important?

Thank You

I was saved out of Occult. Beware.
