Hi Harry,
You have had several thoughts you expressed on the forum since first post.
Could you give us some idea of how you think about them when you pose
your questions. You seem to have a lot of knowledge from other teachers,
most of the members here also have or had lots of baggage. What i found
after reading almost every word and page on the forum and website was;
i need to reread then and listen several more times.
I like you inquisitive mind, we are similar in that way; but there is so much
to learn here that it would do you well to start a reading project first. As
you read note questions; keep reading, most times you will find the answer
waiting for you. Something else may also happen; you will have many (Aha
moments) when the Scriptures slap down the carnal thoughts that we all
bring as a part of the baggage from Babylon.
Make no mistake, you are here because you were brought out of Babylon.
Use the time granted to you to learn of Who and What is The Good News
Of The Gospel Of The Kingdom Of The Heavens. I will give you just a couple
Scriptures that may help point the way:2Pe 3: 9-12 (CLV)9 The Lord is not tardy as to the promise, as some are deeming tardiness, but is patient because
of you, not intending any to perish, but all to make room for repentance."
10 Now the day of the Lord will be arriving as a thief, in which the heavens shall be passing by with a booming
noise, yet the elements shall be dissolved by combustion, and the earth and the works in it shall be found."
11 At these all, then, dissolving, to what manner of men must you belong in holy behavior and devoutness,
12 hoping for and hurrying the presence of God's day, because of which the heavens, being on fire, will be
dissolved, and the elements decompose by combustion!"
Joh 5:39-47 (MKJV)39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life. And they are the ones witnessing of Me,
40 and you will not come to Me that you might have life.
41 I do not receive honor from men.
42 But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.
43 I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me. If another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.
44 How can you believe, you who receive honor from one another and do not seek the honor that comes from God only?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you, Moses, in whom you trust.
46 For if you had believed Moses, you would have believed Me, for he wrote of Me.
47 But if you do not believe his writings, how shall you believe My Words? george
