And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. Quoting: TheWorldsEnemy this is a contradiction if God the father God the son and God the Holy Spirit are all the same Trinity whatever you do to the son, you also do unto the Holy Spirit. they are one this makes the quote an oxy-moron |
Ozicell User ID: 39053045 Australia 05/08/2013 08:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It amazes me how many believe that the Holy Spirit is a Being while the scripture quite clearly shows a different picture! Quoting: Ozicell That said, I still feel that each should be allowed to believe what they can understand and wish. What others believe or why they believe it, is none of my business! Well, I do believe he is a being, I've come to know him as such, as part of the trinity that is God. But, of course, we all have free will as regards to our beliefs. I used to believe that as well but then several issues were awakened in my -( I believe by the Holy Spirit), and I began to see things differently. During the transition from what I had believed to what I now believe I was in great confusion which lasted for probably more than a year. Then - through the scriptures - the Spirit showed me the clarity of it all. Do I believe in the Trinity - YES, but not in the form I used to. Do I believe in God - again YES but I see God differently now! I also understand Jesus the Christ in a different manner as I do the Father! It's probably not something I can easily explain to others but for me it's quite clear. One thing a do absolutely believe and that is that each one's beliefs are their personal matter! I am happy sharing but reject bashing - so to speak! Blessings to you in your walk of faith! That which is - has already been, And what is to be - has already been. Quote: King Solomon. |

I always think of the Holy Spirit as a non stop radio frequency blasting out the directions for life. It is always there if you tune in and listen.

All Deities before that were referred to as Lords. Of course modern translations don't take these things into account. How many know that in the original Egyptian Coptic scriptures Christ was actually referred to as Chrest and Christians - Chrestians! (Of course these are English translations but they hold true in the original language). So Christ = Anointed and Christians = Anointed ones, while Chrest = Good and Chrestians = Good ones! Unfortunately I can't give you references to this but if you dig, you should be able to find it yourselves. That which is - has already been, And what is to be - has already been.

Thankyou User ID: 10875888 United States 05/08/2013 08:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Quoting: Forgive me and help me lord 10875888 Let me tell you what worked for me. I walked away for awhile and prayed and meditated and got to really know my true spirit. We are all given the gift of free will and this law cannot be broken. Remember to pray for the correct answers only. look deep inside. There is much love in this world and there are those of us that out here that have much love to share. Not the intimate kind that most look for in a mate, but a genuine love for those desperately seek for answers. Find your true self. Allow the answer. When I had to leave my wife and two children, I decided that there would be no ego involved and no confrontations. No matter how amazingly mad she made me, I maintained my position as a solid rock and allowed her to have what some would consider to be the upper hand. In time we became great friends and if I would have wanted to continue the relationship, I could have, but realized that our spirits were not on the same plane. I still have the children half of the time and they are better off because we are not fighting all of the time. I don't know your whole situation, but I sense the desperation. Wherever you may be, there are those of us out here that will be with you in spirit. Find your spirit my friend, it is hiding in that mass of organs and information filled brain. Thankyou for your advice kind words i found myself years ago have been getting better at it the last year has been great in me finding my spirit me and her never fought it just ended over one phone call she never said why or gave me a reason she just stopped iam still asking for forgiveness from her and the lord for us to heal and talk i dont have any kids all her kids are from others like you i let her have the upper hand it has been hurtful embrass degrading absive to be embrass without answering back just to be hit without fighting back i have been taking it for a year iam asking praying for love i have no family or wife or kids to make it worst i lost my job on firady got laid off its all just one ball of things not going well it all started with her i pray for all this i still stay calm i still pray for her her kids even with all this i have peace letting the lord take control its hard the very hard i do want to love her right now i be happy with a text i have so many dreams of this some have come true my story is long i do thankyou for your support and advice thankyou my friend i do pray she feels me in spirit she feels me in her mind and heart please |
ElectricKoolaid User ID: 27383605 United States 05/08/2013 08:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There have been times in my life where I have cursed God (I'm a retard, yes), but I have NEVER, EVER denied any of the spiritual experiences I have had, and never will. Why? Because I know for a bloody fact that they happened and that it was more than just a "tickle in my tummy"...I've been lucky enough to have full-blown miracles happen right in front of my damn eyes. -- EK |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 11568914 United States 05/08/2013 09:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Holy Spirit is known as the Shekinah...the divine feminine presence of God. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35267558 Thank you! there is no proof anywhere that suggest it is feminine in nature Shekinah [Heb.,=dwelling, presence], in Judaism, term used in the Targum (Aramaic translation of the Hebrew Bible) and elsewhere to indicate the manifestation of the presence of God among people. Whenever the Hebrew text speaks of the presence of God in a way that implies certain human limitations, the Targum paraphrases by substituting the word Shekinah for the word God (e.g., "And I will cause my Shekinah to dwell," in the Targum Onkelos). Although the Shekinah is rarely intended by the rabbis in the Talmud and Midrash as an intermediary between God and people, the word is sometimes used in such a manner that it cannot be identical with God, e.g., "God allows his Shekinah to rest." The medieval Jewish philosophers, however, wishing to avoid the problems of anthropomorphic interpretation of this concept, posited a separate existence for the Shekinah, which played a minor role at best in their systems. In the kabbalah and other mystical works of the later medieval and modern periods, the Shekinah is given far more importance and is often treated as the consort of God who can only be reunited with God through human fulfillment of all the divine commandments, which would likewise signal the messianic age. Quoting: Source[link to www.answers.com] it could be described as nothing more than the halo effect around one's head. |

agent73 User ID: 4309083 United States 05/08/2013 10:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am personally trying to figure all this stuff out. My wife is big into God and Jesus and lately it seems as though every conversation turns into God and Jesus. I've been reading a lot of these religitard threads because I AM CURIOUS. I have had experiences with the 'other side'.....so, I DO know that there is other stuff out there. Does that correlate to God? Is there a ying to the yang? If I KNOW for a fact there are evil spirits and demons...does that de facto make me 'believer'? I am a really good channeler....but don't know if that means God is real...... Any words of wisdom from my GLP community?? thanks |
