God a Spirit and has accordingly by his divine Power given us all things required for life and godliness. We are chosen generation and a peculiar people that he put all the details what makes us a holy nation on the simple article as trust. This faith is greater than the pomp and circumstance that the world flaunts. Many instances we have of those who came to nothing. Who wants such glory that Satan gives the foolish and takes away when is least expected? God does indeed make a distinction between children of light and of wrath. "To bring to nought things that are:/That no flesh should glory in his presence," is the divine rationale.
We are of God so God has in reserve for us the wherewithal to lead a holy life unmolested by spiritual darkness. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in highplaces."(Ep.6:12) we see in the life of Elisha, "And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them./And Elisha prayed, and said,Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And theLordopened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha."(2 Ki.6:15-23)
We have not counted the great congregation that we find associated with the Ancient of days.. There is no change in the numbers or in the divine will set before the worlds began."A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened."(Dan.7:10)
'Judgment was set' is by Jesus Christ the same yesterday today and forever. So we figure among the number mentioned in the vision which is our reality in the world of the Spirit. So when we refer to the whole armor of God faith we hold as shield even in the present hour.
"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. "
Apostle John speaks of our antecedents. "Ye are of God" We have ben called forth before the worlds began. We are a chosen generation. Because when God separated light from darkness (Ge.1:3-4) He set us apart to be with him in the light where we have his Son as the true Light. Before we were born it was a matter determined by Him and when we received Jesus Christ as our savior we became according to the word of God, a peculiar people. God also set our tasks which we cannot escape. We should show forth the praises as faithful servants.
"But yearea chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:"(1 Pe.2:9). In another epistle St Peter says,' to glory and virtue'. ("According as his divine power hath given unto us all things thatpertainunto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue."-2 Pe.1:3)
How peculiar are we that God should his glory invest in us? "And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:/That no flesh should glory in his presence." (1 Co.1:28-29)
The clouds are symbolic of those that have come to truth, we were resurrected with Christ, the NEW CREATION, being made ONE with him, by his resurrection.
Jeremiah 51:20-23
Obadiah 1:21
God Bless YOU!
You said one can lose their salvation.
What are you saved from?
Your SAVED from DEATH.
Christ is our PASSOVER sacrifice, death passed over us,
If we don't believe, then we die in our SIN of UNBELIEF.
But as you said, Christ is going to resurrect the DEAD, so one cannot lose his salvation, being saved from death.
God Bless YOU!
By the Word of GOD - the Word is GOD - self-executing, heavens are celestial environments in Christ that have nothing, but nothing, with the material space of Universe. You are confounding Heaven with Sky, so your interpretion of the Word of GOD is merely a materialist interpretation. Terrible, very terrible. By your words, you have knowledge only of sky, but have not knowledge of Heaven. Your thinking is from HUMAN perspective, a stumblingblock, not from GOD's perspective.
JESUS took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray, Moses and Elijah came to speak with JESUS, but both did not do any travel through your materialist sky of course. Luke 9:29-36:
29 And as JESUS prayed, the fashion of His countenance was altered, and His raiment was white and glistering.
30 And, behold, there talked with Him two men, which were Moses and Elijah:
32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw His glory, and the two MEN that stood with JESUS.
33 And it came to pass, as they departed from JESUS, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he said.
34 While he thus spake, there came a CLOUD(the same CLOUD of Exodus 24:15-16, understand?), and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the CLOUD.
35 And there came a voice out of the CLOUD, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear Him.
36 And when the voice was past, JESUS was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
Yes, Giannis; Moses and Elijah came to speak with JESUS, but both did not do any travel through your materialist sky of course.
Heaven is not Sky.
17 Seventy returned with joy, saying: Lord, even the demons are subject unto us through thy name.
18 JESUS said unto them: I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. (not from Sky)
the "clouds" that is referred to in Rev.1:7, I am beginning to think it is an army/cavalry like I 1st suggested.
( Revelation 1:7) "Behold, he ((cometh WITH clouds)); and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."
( Zephaniah 1:14-15 KJV) "That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of ((clouds)) and thick darkness,"
( 2 Thessalonians 1:7) "And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven ((WITH his mighty angels)),"
( Revelation 19:14 KJV) "And the ((armies)) which were in heaven followed him upon ((white horses)), clothed in fine linen, white and clean."
God bless.
This is not Jesus riding on the white horse in Revelation 6:2.
For many years it was interpreted that this was the second coming of Jesus Christ, a white horse coming, the one who's sitting on it is given a crown, and he goes out to conquer, so they said this is Jesus Christ.
But if we study it out, we realize that this is not the second coming of Christ, but rather the representation of the antichrist, the false messiahs who will come.
And here's why:
It says he comes on a white horse. It's the same as Jesus in Revelation Chapter 19. It's a white horse.
But, this one who is sitting on a white horse has a bow. In Revelation Chapter 19, Christ has a sword.
A crown was also given to this one. And the word for crown is STEPHANOS. That's the wreath that is given to the victors at the coliseum games. This is a STEPHANOS.
In Revelation Chapter 19, it says that when Christ comes at His second coming, He will be wearing many crowns, and the word for crown is DIADEM, the royal crown.
And this one will come out conquering and to conquer. And that's the antichrist taking over the one world system.
Also another point to make, it is the Lamb that's opening the seal. He's not coming back yet, not until we get into Revelation Chapter 19.
So this one riding on a white horse with a bow in his hand, he was given a crown, a STEPHANOS, not a DIADEM. And he went out to conquer. This is the antichrist. This is the false messiah that Jesus said first would come.
Hope this helps!
We are the third heaven, where God dwells, the third heaven, the (literal) body of Christ, the third heaven, Christ in the flesh the second time, the NEW heaven, the third heaven, the Kingdom on God on earth.
Revelation is symbolic, the 1000 year reign, is symbolic of ONE DAY, the Day of the Lord, when all flesh was raised AS ONE FLESH, the flesh and bone of Christ.
This ONE DAY, has been on earth now for 2000 years, and will never be anywhere but on earth.
At present, we are the (literal) body of Christ, when harvested, we will still be the (literal) body of Christ, BUT, in the twinkling of an eye, switch bodies: we will be given HIS RESURRECTED body, our flesh and blood body cannot inherit the Kingdom of God.
1000 years has and end, the DAY of the Lord has no end, everytime the clock shows 11:59:59 PM, the next tick becomes TODAY, the Day of the LORD, world without end, TODAY, the DAY of SALVATION.
We were promised where Christ is: WE WILL BE ALSO, Christ is in man, omnipresent, as the spirit of truth, bring man into the TRUTH and KNOWLEDGE of Kingdom of God.
Revelation 10:11 .... Thou must prophecy AGAIN before many peoples, and nation, and tongues, and kings.
Jacobs ladder, in Genesis, is symbolic of the harvested SEED ascending and descending on Christ.
John 1:51 ... I say unto you, HEREAFTER ye shall see (the third) heaven OPEN, and the angels of God (ministering spirit) ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.
God BLESS YOU!
Thank you for your sincere reply. I assure you, no offense taken.
,I am baffled by your comment that my post "does not address the request made by Stewart!"
May I suggest you reconsider, what the facts are: 1. He requested prayer, and I said to him, "You are in my prayers." I ADDRESSED that, as I did so and still am praying. 2. I perceived him as being concerned that his days were numbered; and I ADDRESSED that. 3. Was it not obvious he was concerned with his health? I ADDRESSED that. 4. Did you perceive he felt the truth was being hidden from him? I ADDRESSED that. 5. Did you sense he's not feeling he's understanding God's Word? I ADDRESSED that by stating that peace and understanding go together and can never be found alone. I did so by encouraging him God VALUES him, and by inferring he's worthy in God's Mind, and He is Perfect Love. I also touched on the the Holy Spirit's Voice and the ego's regarding the contrasts.
Is it possible you missed all this, or were you so wrapped up in the plagiarism aspect, that it went in one ear and out the other? It's no wonder you called my post generic.
How much more specificity do you want, based on the 5 SPECIFIC items I addressed. I'm not sure what you want; a book or an essay? No one else replied in that manner.
In regards to not giving credit where it's due, there's only two choices here; the Holy Spirit or the ego. You have the free will to choose; and I respect that, and will not judge you in a negative or positive way. ACIM does not list an author, because there is no earthly one. So if you have a complaint, speak to the Holy Spirit or your ego. I have no desire or inkling to profit from it, other than pursuing a closer relationship with my Creator and the whole Sonship, including you. I couldn't say this in regards to the thousands who profit materialistically from the Bible.
God will never decide against you, or He would be deciding against Himself.
Peace always
Thank you for praying for me and with me
Greetings and grace be to you from God our Father.
You say "I set aside Saturday as the Biblical Sabbath and treat it much differently than any other day that I worship" How so?
Do you sleep in all day or lounge around the house? No sarcasm intended here I am curious as to what you mean by how you "set aside and treat it differently". Although I do agree with 4th commandment in Exodus 20:8 "Remember the sabbath day, to Keep it holy." I still preach the Gospel on this day just as I do every other day. Am I wrong here? Also is Sunday service not advised? I thought I'd make you aware that I have no 'job' so I either preach the gospel, read the bible or fellowship with other bible believers.
I thank you kindly in advance. peace be with you in Jesus name.
See Ezekiel 18:21-32.
However, the lost won't be eternally conscious in hell. God says they will surely die. Cease to exist. It's too hard to explain in a couple paragraphs. But, eternal life is only the reward of the righteous.
Also, when people die, they fall asleep until judgement day. We have an object lesson in our nightly sleep. Suddenly, it's morning. The idea of grandma watching over us from heaven is a satanic ploy. It makes room for seances, praying to dead saints, spiritism. Any dead relative appearing to a living relative is a demon impersonating the relative.
Your words:
"The expression "God is not mocked" is not a warning but a reassurance; God would be mocked if ANY of His creations lacked holiness.
ACIM:
"God is not mocked" is not a warning but a reassurance. God would be mocked if any of His creations lacked holiness.
One eighty,
I do believe you when you say you have never taken a course from that website. But can you see how I came to this conclusion? What are the odds of all these things you posted in your own words would match up word for word with the materials from A Course In Miracles?
Blessings to you also!
Man does NOTHING, God does everything.
His feast are being upheld, but Christis is doing it, not man.
Christ died on PASSOVER, and death passed over you!
Christ upheld the Feast of the WEEKS, and poured out his Spirit upon mankind at penetecost.
Christ has now come to the Feast of the Tabernacles, and the Spirit is drawing his creation into that FEAST.
The last fruits WILL BE HARVESTED, arter Christ has resurrected all the dead back to life.
Man looks at time, time does't exist in God's realm.
God BLESS YOU!
It's hard to tell by your comments whether you understand the scriptures, or, you are just quoting the scriptures.
Matthew 24:22 And except those days should BE SHORTENED, there should NO FLESH BE SAVED....
Your comments appear to say you believe this is something in the future.
The word says it has all ready BEEN DONE.
Those days were SHORTENED to the time Christ went into the garden, then judged by false witnesses, then by crucifixion, DIED on the cross, resurrected 3 days and 3 nights later, and BY HIS resurrection ALL FLESH WAS SAVED.
You said God will finishes the work.
The work has already BEEN FINISHED.
Nothing can be ADDED to his resurrection, nothing can be TAKEN AWAY from his resurrection.
Do you believe there is something more needed than the RESURRECTION of Christ.
God BLESS YOU!
Your words:
"What God did not create does not exist. And everything that does exist exists as He created it. The world we see has nothing to do with reality. It is of our own making, and it does not exist.
ACIM:

Your words:
"it is impossible to have faith in sin, for sin is faithlessness."
ACIM:
It is impossible to have faith in sin, for sin is faithlessness.
Your words:
"We MADE what we would destroy, everything we would hate, and attack, and would kill.
ACIM:
You made what you would destroy; everything that you hate and would attack and kill
Your words:
"We've literally never left Him and in reality are at home in God merely dreaming of exile, but perfectly capable of awakening to reality."
ACIM:
You are at home in God, dreaming of exile but perfectly capable of awakening to reality.
Your words:
"The idea of sin is the most holy concept in the ego's thought system; lovely, powerful, and wholly true, and necessarily protected with every defense at its disposal."
ACIM:
The idea of sin is the most "holy" concept in the ego's system; lovely and powerful, wholly true, and necessarily protected with every defense at its disposal
Your words:
What is the ego? But a dream of what I really am. A thought I am apart from my Creator and a wish to be what He created not. It is a thing of madness, not reality at all. A name for namelessness is all it is. A symbol of IMPOSSIBILITY; a choice for options that do not exist. We name it but to help us understand that it is nothing but an ancient thought that what is MADE (not created) has immortality. But what could come of this except a dream which, like all dreams, can only end in death?

Your words:
Where is the ego? Where the darkness was. What is it now and where can it be found? Nothing and nowhere. Now the light has come: Its opposite has gone without a trace. Where evil was there now is holiness. What is the ego? What the evil was. Where is the ego? In an evil dream that but seemed real while we were asleep dreaming it

(Part 1):
If you say you have never been to the acim website, then I will take your word for it. About a week ago, you responded to one of my posts and some things you shared were a little confusing to me. I should have asked you to explain, but instead I did a search of some of your comments and stumbled upon that website that said the same things you said, not just in similarity, but actual word for word.
No, I do not study from that website. I only discovered it a week ago while trying to decipher what you were telling me. I would not study from it anyway because as I said, it is full of heretical teachings. I am just trying to warn folks to not go there, including you since you say you never been there. So please, don't go there.
I did ask you a week ago if you were taking any courses from there. You did not respond. From what I found out; it is not just on the internet. There are actually three books that can be purchased that teach this course. If I may ask, do you have these books?
One eighty, there is a reason why I thought you were visiting that website. Please allow me to show you how I came to this conclusion by quoting "your words" that you shared, and then the words that are on this website (I assume they are in the books also).
I need more space so please bear with me.
In any event; as to confusion as you know hope deferred makes the heart sick. That can make verses on the Rapture and His soon coming seem distant when we are physically compromised. I pray that you get some sort of fellowship and or support system. Having a vision for a specific calling or ministry is also helpful. For now I pray that you are strengthened in your time left here spiritually and Lord willing physically. May you continue to have opportunities to spread the Gospel in whatever way the Lord gives you an avenue.
Agape; Rich P
Or, if you're thinking of believers & why don't we "follow Yahweh's feasts and celebrate his statutes as He commanded", then again those directions were given to Israel, the special called-out people who would carry the LORD's Name, experience His Love, blessings & directions, & so be His witnesses to the godless world. This of course, Israel failed to fully experience & suffered because of their disobedience & sins. Those initial directions given to Israel, as described in the Books of Exodus & Leviticus particularly, were for Israel alone, that through the performance of them, their hearts would be turned to their LORD & they would see, however dimly, that God would one day perfectly fulfil all those feasts, sabbath days, & ceremonies in the provision of Himself: a Savior Who would not only save them by the shedding of His Blood for them, but that they would no longer need to 'work' to gain God's Favor but only place their faith in HIS Sacrifice for them.
There are some today who still believe that Christians should also keep the feasts, laws, & ordinances, but for these reasons, it is not required nor demanded: those adherences were for Israel alone & for their benefit to draw them closer to God & be His Light; when Jesus came & gave His Life "in due time", all the works of man (both Israel & Gentiles) had ceased, & only faith in Christ alone could save them; and to perform the feasts & other requirements of the Law only showed that Christ's Sacrifice was insufficient to fully atone & that doing those 'works', even for remembrance-sake, denies Jesus' perfect Sacrifice "once for all". Please read Hebrews 10:1-14 on this matter.
One has to come to the truth, that it is a pleasure to be immersed (baptised) in the word of God, often we only come to this truth by being prodigal.
Psalms 121:8 All things are of God, even our comings and our goings (at times being prodigal), God know how to draw each of us to him.
Psalms 107:31 O that men would praise God for his goodness, his wonderful WORKS to the children of men.
You make have believed you had moved away from God, but he HAD NOT moved away from you, just his WORKS to bring you into the truth and knowledge of God.
God Bless YOU!
Rejoice ye that dwell in the heaven as is written in Ephesians 1:3 and Philippians 3:20-21.
Woe to the inhabiters of the earth(Israel) and of the sea!(wicked peoples, and nations, and multitudes of all tongues) for the Devil comes having great wrath, he knows that he has but a short time.
The nations will be angry, but GOD's wrath comes and the time of the dead, that they should be Judged, and that GOD should give reward unto His servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear His name, and should DESTROY them which destroy the earth- Revelation 11:18
That said, get ready
