Jesus Christ Teaches about Evil People Saying "You Are From BELOW"

Good Morning Friend.

I pray you have a wonderful weekend!!!

Good Morning,OP

Looks like someone was up bright and early.

I am just having my first cup of coffee.

This is the day the Lord has made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it!

Happy to see this thread.

Be back in a moment..........

:blush: thank you :)

Can't forget this:

Jesus said to them,

"If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now I am here. I have not come on my own, but he sent me.

Why is my language not clear to you?

Because you are unable to hear what I say.

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me?

He who belongs to God hears what God says.

The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God." John 8: 42-47

Wanted to get an early start on this.

Told the kids we would be at the pool at 11am!

This is an important teaching of Jesus Christ.

Some people BELONG to Satan, the Destroyer.

I thought of posting this today, as well. Holy Spirit inspired.

very interesting

and what makes one belong to God or not?
seed line?
soul line?
blood line?
This is an important teaching of Jesus Christ.

This last great trial of mankind will be to not keep the testimony of Christ...and to lay down the Word of God...

We have taken the plunge...

It has already entered upon us...this is the great trial that is to test all men....

Do we know where we stand today and the closeness of Christs return....?

Yes we should be able to see this clearly and even wonder to our selves are we not fortunate we came out of these organized churches when we did not accept nor approve of what we saw....we were actually being saved from them..but it is in everything even government...and on the job..

It is bad...and we know it is marked by blasphemies and ungodliness from subtle to obnoxiously open..men ashamed of the testimony of Christand deny it even deny there is a eternal everlasting fire that waits them if they deny Christ then Christ denies them....and this was told plainly to us...do not give into to these demands stand firm our testimony and uphold the Word of God...

Time is about up for us...how long this has been going on is amazing.

It started sweetly candy coating and softening the words syrupy sweetener...you can not tell people they will go to Hell...that is ugly and mean......then the changing of some words....Nay if you eat that fruit you will be like gods you will not surely die......only modern version of serpent speech..
Then world demands no one has the right to proclaim there is No other way in which a man must be saved except he accept Jesus Christ as His savior..and no other name under heaven can save our souls from everlasting damnation for our sins except the name of Jesus Christ.....

The world is in big trouble.....serious trouble.

It is such a beautiful prayer. It should be meditated upon every day!!!

Those are really good questions!

What is most important, however, is that Jesus told some that they would not believe who He was until He was

"Lifted Up."

So your membership can change from darkness to light!

Sometimes I would make this prayer personal, so I wouldn't fall into the trap of just repeating the same prayer and having it lose its meaning--like this:

My Holy Father, who is in Heaven

I pray for Your Kingdom to come, today

I pray that Your will be done, through me and all those who belong to You.
Here on earth as it is done in Heaven

Feed me from Your Word today for your Bread is Life.
Thank you for reminding me of Your forgiveness so that I may always be forgiving.

Protect me from the devil and thank you for delivering me from his evil schemes and attacks.

For Yours is the Kingdom and the Power and Glory for ever and ever
Amen

Isaiah 45:7

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

but even satan believes Christ is who he says he is..

Yes that verse is so very right and yes He said He would send forth the great delusion to try all men..so they would believe a lie and be damned..hit the nail on the head..

The scriptures clearly teach that God cannot be the author of evil. James 1:13 states "Let no one say when he is tempted. 'I am being tempted by God'; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone." And further "Every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation, or shifting shadow." (emphasis added) We know that God is not a God of confusion (1 Cor 14:33). Psalm 18:30 tells us "As for God, His way is blameless" and "Thou art not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; no evil dwells with Thee (Psalm 5:4). Also, "The Lord is righteous in all His ways, and kind in all His deeds." (Psalm 145:17)

Now, we know that all of these Scriptures cannot be wrong on the nature of God, so we must re-examine your exegesis of the Hebrew word ra'. Hebrew is an ancient language that was much more limited in scope than say Greek. Frequently, the same words were used in several contexts to mean different things. Why, even in English the word blue could mean a color or someone feeling depressed.

The word ra' is used throughout the Old Testament with several meanings. It is used many times to mean something morally evil or hurtful (Job 35:12, 1 Sam 30:22, etc.) but it is also used to mean an unpleasant experience (Gen 47:9 and Prov. 15:10). It is used to describe fierce beasts (Lev. 26:6), and even spoiled or inferior fruit (Jer 24:3). Certainly, the figs that Jeremiah was looking at were not evil in the sense of morally reprobate!

In Isaiah 45, the word evil is used in a contrast to the peace and well-being discussed before it.

1 Kings 22:22
And the LORD said to him, With which? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, You shall persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.

...and trembles...

clever

but can it be a blood line like some say? I doubt it..unless there is a way that even with intermarriage a certain strain of DNA that distinguishes the bloodline remains invariable and predominant..any input?

2 Thessalonians 2:11
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2 Thessalonians 2:12
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

It separates them it seeks them and it pulls them out by pulling what was in their hearts out....pleasure in unrighteousness

Yes He did!
I Believe!!!
PTL

I thank God that he GWB doesn't get to choose who goes to heaven and who doesn't.
9-11 ???

not sure i understand the question wildhoney

it seems according to the bible that there are two lines(call them cain and abel which is I think maybe a simplistic way of explaining it)..but what makes one line distinguish itself from another?

it has to be something that intermarriage doesnt alter..

I cant figure it out because my knowledge of biology isnt that great

I "kind of" get what you are saying because, at one time, I gave thought about this very thing. I thought those who are saved belong to the same blood line as Jesus. That there are two, from the beginning of the human race. Those that belong to bloodline of Jesus, were God's chosen, and those who were of the other bloodline, could never be--and it all traces back to Cain and Abel. Is this what you are trying to express?
I have not thought about this in a while, it was just a mere speculation one day when I was talking to my sons.

"...Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. " - John 1:13
