Satan: A biography.
rrammfcitktturjsp:
We have all that we need to discern truth and that is God's words and those that he has placed on the face of this earth to resonate with truth and to present that truth in an uncompromising way such as Ray.
I am saying this from experienace. I thought that truth lied in things outside the bible. Yes there are great spiritual principles and great applications elsewhere, yet the truth only comes from God's Word. I went and got another writing the Kabballa and read it. I have since struggled to get back to the point of where I was before I picked up the book.
My friend exhorted me not to read it becuase it would only confuse and cause a stumbling block. Boy was she right. I am exhorting you to read the bible and prayerfully consider what it says and not to stumble by looking at others writings.
It took me about 2 monthes to get over the stumbling block. I would hate to see someone like you who is fired up about the truth to lose your passion or stumble.
Please in no way am I telling you what to do. You are free to hold your opinion and to do what you want. I exhort you to be in prayerful consideration before going to buy this book or anything like it.
Sincerely,
Anne C. McGuire

Would you believe that you made no mention of knowing the book was fool of lies in your original response. :)
Arcturus, please know that I am not defending this guy or any other. It's just that we need always becareful using such dogmatic assertions. :)
But thanks for your research.

Hello Darren
I enjoyed Annes responce straight from the heart. May I be your double witness Anne? :D
Darren God's PLAN is 2 Tim 4 : 3,4 For the time is coming when people will not tolerate, endure sound and wholesome instruction, but, having ears itching for something pleasing and gratifying, they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold. 4. And will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and man-made fictions.
Kelly uses many "Myths" and also refers to the Apocrapha and in particular the so called book of Enoch.....
This is God's plan.... not His will. His WILL is that we will all come to the knowldege of the truth!
I also love cherries! and litchies and mangoes! ;D
Peace to you
Arcturus :)

Anne, you wrote:
"Yes there are great spiritual principles and great applications elsewhere, yet the truth only comes from God's Word. "
This is a very powerful statement and I would like to make a couple of comments.
After reading the following scripture, do you think that the truth about God is contained ONLY in his word or 'by' God's Word?
Rom 1:20
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
I would like to mention also that many of the damnedest heresies come straight from the Holy Scripture, God's Word. Should we be surprised at this? The teachings of Hell Fire and eternal punishment are all taken straight from the Bible. The words are not lacking but understanding is.
It is God and Christ who grants understanding and without it, the words are as nothing.
Luk 8:10
* And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
Luk 24:45
* Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
Jhn 8:43
* Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word.
I for one always "wanted" to believe in God, I read the Scriptures but the words were hollow. I know this now after God led (dragged) me to Bible-Truths, because the same words now have meaning and substance, all by the grace and will of God.
Kind of adds special meaning to Romans 1:20 don't you think. :)
Man, I must of woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning...... :)
Love in Christ,
Darren
