Darren,

The "spirit of the world" is carnal and at enmity with God.

His Peace to you Brother,

Joe

YellowStone:
Joe,

I agree with you 100% :D

I did NOT say anything different. I did go back and change all references to the "spiritual world" to "spirit of the world" so that my intent can be seen for what it is.

Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the "heads-up"

Love to you my brother,
Darren

Darren

have you listened to the Nashville Conference ???



As Ray says in LOF part 9 quote:

Remember always as we attempt to enlighten those whom God is calling that we are NO BETTER than those whose doctrines we condemn.

Why tempt? I am not in the Forum to argue or debate about what you think is right or wrong. ;D :D

Peace to you

Arcturus :)

A thought to ponder....

As far as being diseased please consider that being exposed to every sort of illness, disease, ailment, etc. that can possibly infect man or beast is it surprising that Jesus began to carry the weight of this exposure? He would not, did not use His healing powers or any of His powers for Himself, He had a human body, a human immune system and did not supernaturally give Himself doses of penicillin or any antibiotic that we can see in scripture, is it a stretch to see His body as suffering because of this exposure?

We know His mental state also suffered from the lack of faith and the spiritual condition of the people that constantly surrounded Him (e-sword "multitudes") why would His physical body not suffer as well from exposure to their diseases?

Please refer back to an earlier post where Paul & Peter both refer to Christ's sufferings that "s" means plural, numerous sufferings.

If you have not yet heard Ray's presentation of this topic I beg you to listen, this will not diminish your perception of Jesus, it should enhance it. The love of our Creator toward His children is humbling and worthy of the highest praise!

His Peace and Wisdom to you,

Joe

Hi Darren, 

Thank you for your reply. I kind of see where you are coming from. For sure, the spiritual leaders of the world would have scorned and despised Him because of His spiritual message. He delivered it with power and conviction. If he was of great beauty with this message, He would have still been rejected.

Very true.

However.....

Isaiah 53:2  For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; and when we see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him.

He made Himself lowly in all ways. He was not rich. He had no worldly status. He was a man of sorrows. And yes, He had no physical beauty.

Does that make you uncomfortable?

Love,
Ursula
