Wifey and I, both having been vaxed and her having received the booster, both tested positive for Covid yesterday, so we are cooped up in the house until next Monday. Oh well.
You can't post a video you found on bing (your tablet's search engine). It won't play.Quote:

Oops. Look up: Myles Monroe, why God didn't stop Eve.
The link I posted earlier works fine.

Your first video says in print on a black screen, "Sorry, this video is no longer available." Plus, it too is from a bing search.
Earlier post...earlier than the one you hit.
It wasn't meant for you...allegory Girl.
I don't like the way he presented it but he had some good points on prayer and Kingdom concept, along with authority.
Why do people in a position of power lie?
Because Authority has been given to them. They have given themselves over to lies.
There will come a time (if not now) where they will believe the lies they speak.
They might have been given the authority, but they have no power.
The power comes from God's Law...the Christ.
Walter, here's the deal. If you believe something to be true, then you should be able to say, "It says so here and here and here." Pointing to an admittedly disjointed video is not a good strategy. Do you know WHY you believe WHAT you believe? You will note that it is that very question that is at the core of most of my exchanges here.
"You believe so and so? Oh? Why do you believe that?" It strikes me as the best question you can ask. I have been asked here why I believe in a coming judgment and hell. I reply with dozens of clear testimonies from the Bible including many from Jesus Himself. That is not always received here well, but there is no plea other than silliness such as "cherry picking", or a claim to be able to know the AUTHENTIC message of Jesus with, strangely enough, no description at all of how that person came to identify that message. I feel very safe when I can surround myself with the many testimonies of scripture.
We are a living Testimony. Surround yourself with as many testimonies as you can find...is not going to keep you from appearing before the judgment seat of Christ.
Are the things you trust real and true – or just dim reflections of something bigger?
True for everyone including you.Quote:

LOL - this is too good to pass up. You have NEVER said WHY you believe. You have IN EVERY CASE said "Scripture says so".Quote:

I can't stop laughing. He can't stop digging that hole deeper and deeper. ROFL.Quote:

Uhm..."Scripture says so" is the explanation for my beliefs. Most people catch on to that fairly quickly. It is an appeal to the authority of the Bible.Quote:

It's obvious what people "catch on to" - that you have no explanation except "the Bible told me so". Intelligent discussion demands more than that - like WHY you believe scripture says so. Yeah, yeah, we know - God wrote the Bible.Quote:

I give reasons for what I post unless they are so self-evident that the reasons are obvious. I also employ rationality (logic) whenever appropriate. Internet references - you notably refuse to look there (unless, of course, you are the one posting).Quote:

You still have failed to answer - WHY do you believe scripture says so?
Except, of course, that you cannot explain your own gaffe. Too bad. And putting "EXACTLY" in all caps does not prove anything other than an utter lack of ideas and self-control. I oftentimes wonder why you become so angry. Maybe WG can give you some counseling on that.Quote:

Now you are clearly welcome to that defense, but it's like I've told you many times in the past. If it comes down to accepting what Jesus said versus accepting what Athos believes, then the choice for me is obvious. You've never been raised from the dead, or even had to courage to state your own belief about the resurrection.
Your comments have been done to death. They have been rebutted again and again and AGAIN!Quote:

God gave man all Authority over his creation. In order that Man would destroy Sin.
God incorporated Sin to destroy Sin.
You mean in the same manner you have done in answering if you believe in the resurrection? Like that? Is that what you mean?Quote:

Just in case you didn't hear me the first time
You have yet to summon the courage to answer the question about the resurrection, so you lose all authority to question why others have not answered all of your questions. The resurrection question has been on the table for more than a year now. Time for an answer.Quote:

Walter, no offense, but nobody takes you seriously, even your co-religionist.Quote:

And do you believe in the resurrection? You have consistently refused to answer that question for more than a year. Time to strap on some courage and go for it!! It is, after all, THE primary question of the NT. “And if Christ has not been raised… your faith is in vain… Your faith is futile and you are still in your sins… If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied."Quote:

Okay, now that you have this...read the Bible in its entirety and see what you come up with.
You should be able to pick up on this in The first three chapters.
Did God give man Authority? Did man not bruise the head? Is man not Sin? Did a man not defeat Sin and the power of Sin?
I have read the entire Bible more than once, have been a student in and led Bible study groups more times than you can imagine. I graduated from a Christian college and taught in a Christian school.Quote:

. Not even close to what was stated. nice try. Try again...God said let them have Dominion and Authority.Quote:
God did not give man authority to destroy sin.
He did not say let us have!
Jesus became Sin.
Get off your man made doctrine for one sec.
I'm on a small tablet. I can't see too good. I'll simply leave it at that.
Authority was given. The bruising of the head. Jesus being made Sin. A man (human flesh) defeating death and the power of Sin. Resurrected, King of All creation! His kingdom reigns forever. The kingdoms of this world will pass away. Jesus has that same Authority that God gave man...why? Not because Jesus is God, but Because Jesus is Man.
You wanted scripture, it is backed by scripture. Its easy enough for you to look it up.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.Quote:

"Sin” is the term that the Jews used for sin offerings.
Christ, who is sinless, was made our sin offering. So Paul’s not calling Christ evil. That’s crucial. Sin is evil, and so calling Christ “sin” (in the way we use the word) would be calling Him evil, an obvious heresy (particularly since Paul just said that Christ is sinless). Calling Him our sin offering, on the other hand, is completely orthodox. Christ died for our sins: that’s the foundation of Christian theology.

Walter, surely you realize that is the weakest response you could have made? It amounts to, "Oh, just read the whole Bible and you'll see it in there somewhere!!" Pretty bad.Quote:

It is one thing to say God gave man authority. I don't think anyone would disagree with that. It's entirely different to say God gave up all of HIS authority in doing so. Genesis 3 makes it very plain that your idea there is not true.
Your understanding of it is wrong. It does not need be backed up by scripture...it need be backed up by the Holy Spirit.
It's not all that important that you see it but it might Bring a person closer too "Kingdom awareness.
Realise we don't belong to any of the kingdoms of this world. We belong to a kingdom that is not of this world.
Christians understand that statement much the same way as when Jesus said it...they haven't A clue.
Power, Authority, Law, Culture...its all included In the Kingdom of God.
Man giving his Authority (Flesh been given all Authority), so that Heaven on earth.
Otherwise God just came Down, exerted his Authority and said - here's how it gonna be boyz!
You don’t need scripture? Well…ok then. At least you have made that view plain.
you don't need the Holy Spirit? Well...ok then. (Touche!)
Scripture is useless without the Holy Spirit.
Debating scripture against scripture is futile.
Who said God had to give up his Authority? God Gave Authority to man...AKA Jesus???
God knew what he was doing.
We all need the Holy Spirit. I’ve never said otherwise. You have just said, however, that you do not need the Bible to support your views. That’s all yours
I'm not sure what it is with you and WG?
You have a practice of distorting certain statements?
Take another looksie. That's not at all what I said.
If I mention -God gave man Authority - that is strait out of Scripture. I need quote, verbatim, text and verse?
The Holy spirit speaks - and if I repeat...I need backed by scripture? Yes maybe it does need be backed by scripture. God said: "Let us make man in our image." Is that right out of the Bible or is it the Holy spirit speaking to you? You need backed by scripture? fact is, if I'm talking to a fellow believer, they should know that that comes right out of the Bible. If I'm speaking with a non believer they could care less what chapter and verse. But yes, I get what your saying. It just seems so simple, I thought you might pick up on it right away. WG is another story. I could quote (not me personally) chapter and verse and it will still draw a blank.
Example: God gave man Authority - where do you get that, better back it up with scripture. -
God gave them Authority! Wait wait, I need verse and book. I can't debate with you. I can't teach you. You need the Holy spirit in order to gain understanding.
You say everything need be backed up with scripture. That's why I see you constantly going round and round with no real understanding that a person need the Holy Spirit. You've been arguing for how many yrs? It is useless to argue with somebody who only picks up Bible verses for the use of Doctrine/debate.
Christians believe that prayer is going to get this country out of the mess, the mess they created.
2 Cronicles 7:14 is the only (remedy) way this Country/Church will come out of this.
“It does not need to be backed up by scripture.” That is your quote. Perhaps you meant to say something else.
I was referring to your understanding of it. You seem to believe, if it is backed up by scripture...if I can show my understanding as plain. As day...in the scripture, you would believe?
I did back it up with scripture (I didn't indicate chapter and verse) and it was rendered irrelevant...foul, foul you didn't mention chapter and verse.
In as much as you have backed it up with scripture - Our good friends - Still haven't a clue?
Its okay to simply Speak the Word, backed up by the Holy Spirit...is better...its a start?
Actions speak louder than Words.
The only appeal to the Bible you made were vague references which included an admonition to read the entire Bible. I can only say that if you have Scripture to validate your views, then bring them forward. I'd love to see them.
But you haven't done either one! You've simply twisted words and meanings according to your own (very strange) understanding.Quote:

@WG: yah, isn't that what we all do. If not that we simply turn it into an allegory.
We know that God gave "Man authority and dominion (Sovereign Authority), over the Earth...we know God told Saten that the Woman would kick his arse . We know it is written: He became Sin.
We know he is King. We know he has all Authority. We know his Resurrection. We know Sin has been defeated.
We know heaven (along with the big man himself) will be on Earth. Pray for the truth to be revealed to you.
You seem to be hung up on the fact that God having relinquish his Authority over to man? Egypt, Pharaoh, Joseph? God simply gave Authority to Jesus/Man...hmm, maybe I'd better find that and post it...daaaah
God didn't interfere with Eve's conversation (Adam might have) with the Serpent. God did not have the Authority to do so...Adam did. Adam never gave the fruit to anybody...yet God went strait to Adam. It was Adams responsibility. Why would God Curse the Serpent? The Serpent allowed the Devil to take possession of his body? Why is Jesus called the lamb of God...maybe because of that first Lamb (the one that gave his life so that God could provide coverings for their Sin)?
@Athos: We know that when God speaks things happen. It will happen - just as God uttered it.
It's like when Jesus told Mathew "Come follow me." You might think Mathew had a choice...there was no choice. it came Directly out of the mouth of God. I don't fully understand the relation between the Word of God and the speaking of the Word of God. But I know there is Power in the Word...just a matter of speaking it...knowing it...believing it...giving yourself over too it?
It's duh, not daaaah.
(And it IS an allegory, as is the Tower of Babel story, Jonah and the Great Fish story, and the Flood story.)
