TheRysta:
This is the thing. I've been reading Smith's papers and asking questions left, right and centre and I still really don't even understand how I can be 'shown things by the Holy Spirit'. I mean, how do you know? What the heck is it like? And since everybody's 'Holy Spirit's can't seem to come to any logical consensus around the world, can you even trust the one in your own head?

Hi TheRysta,

The first problem might be;

Seeking a "logical consensus around the world" is a sure recipe for failure, our journey is a One on one walk with our Lord not to have universal agreement in doctrines or knowledge. The wisdom of seeking Him first and foremost is the key to any spiritual growth.

1Co 3:19  For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
 
1Co 3:20  And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
 
1Co 3:21  Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;

2Co 10:12  For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

I hope this is of some help.

Peace,

Joe

Rysta, I don't know about you. But, the Spirit in me is judging  me and showing me I am a Beast. There are so many days I can barely stand myself. It is the Holy Spirit working in me. Before, I thought I was a fairly good person. Now, my mind has been changed on that. I use to think other people were fairly good. Now, I just judge myself. The Holy Spirt has showed me so much wrong with me. Tonight, my Mother shared with me that there are days she can barely stand herself. She is 88 years old. She has never believed in most of Babylons teachings. But, there is a Spirit in her showing her that she is not fairly good. It made me feel good that she sees she is a Beast. I love her and hope she is wanting to overcome all the pain and her own flaws.  God knows what he is doing. I know, it is the Holy Spirit cause before I thought I was doing ok. I was not doing anything, of myself. I failed at that. Now, he is actually help me to overcome some sins, but still showing me a whole bunch of them.

In order to be a chosen  we have to learn the fruits of the Spirit. Not just knowing what they are but actually living them out.
Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Self-Control
Why would God want us to help judge if we cannot live them. I would not want someone to judge me if they lacked patience or gentleness. I see all of those things because the Holy Spirit is all of those things. I know, because he has been faithful in all those areas with me.

I guess what I am saying is that how could one not know that God is judging them and working on them. I believe they do know if they see the Beast.

I use to work with a woman from Jordan. She did not think God needed a Son. Not everyone in the world believes as we do. God is not judging everone in this life time. But, they will know once he opens there eyes and ears. They will go through judgement and they will see how wrong they were and what great love he has for them all. Love will win out. Correction is the best thing God can give any of his children.

In His Love,
Marlene

It's all about the benjamins. There are millions of Hell-believing Christians that wouldn't hesitate to buy your books and CDs and pay to listen to you talk about how you [supposedly] went to Hell. There are millions more that would simply be intrigued enough to hear your testimony that they too would buy your books and CDs.

But someone testifying that Christ spoke to them and told them that He'd never create such a god-forsaken place, and that He really does love everyone... well, to the carnal-minded man, that's just boring...
