If you did know the Holy Scriptures, you would never do this question. What does the Word say on?

Oh only who has the Spirit of the Most High God and Almighty,the God Father, is able to understand what I have written by His Word.

No, "the Spirit of God" does not mean "a wind of God" absolutely. If you did know God you would never say thing like that about Him, I see that you only have heard to speak about Him, but know not Him, neither His Word evidently. Wind is an angel or a messenger of the Lord God. Wind is a person created by the Most High God and Almighty, wind is not the Creator as you imagine and say on. His Word says clearly: Hebrews 1:v.7CJB - Complete Jewish Bible : "Indeed, when speaking of angels, He says, "who makes His angels winds and His servants fiery flames”

I understand. You believe in fantasies and like to write weird fables. What I must say is that The winds are sent here by God not through a blew of Him ahahaha, but under a command of Him, furthermore God sends them here for a kind of work and to give messages here on earth.   

 

Do not you know that the waters have mouth? Yes, the waters have mouth of course. If you did know the Word of God you would not do this kind of question. The problem is that you try to interpret Scriptures without knowledge of them. What I see is that you were swallowed by the Beast that did rise up out of the waters (Rev.13:v.1)

That is not the case. The case is that you know not God.  By the way, God is a title, a title of Him who is a Spirit, he has not flesh and bones like you that was made of the dust of the earth, understand? The Word is God, God is Spirit. It is impossible to you understand this, because no man knows the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him. It is impossible to know God without He be revealed to the man by the Lord JESUS. It is impossible to any know God if he has not the Spirit of God. 

Jewish roots? Read  and meditate deeply what JESUS said about the Jewish roots. John 8:31-47

if you were to read a few of my other recent posts you would have seen me describing the process to which you can look up scriptures yourself.

as Jesus said to His Disciples....much more is to be said but you are not ready to bear it. Unless people start from the foundation there is little point in giving them even more to reject. God does not waste His precious Word/Bread....it has to be eaten/done/obeyed as He presents it....or NO MORE !

Actually, it does. Certain moderators on this board will defend certain members and nearly automatically ban someone from a thread over a favorite of theirs not being able to make a point. So it matters tremendously  who makes the report and who reacts to it.

Moderation here seems to be per whim.

 

That's certainly not the case, however, you are, of course, welcome to your opinion.

Could someone tell me how, after you have posted something say several months ago , then someone asks a question that that particular post could answer, how would I take that post and transfer it to the persons question?  

                                                                                                   Thank you in advance

You could either copy and paste it into the new thread or you could click the little sideways triangle thing in the very top righthand corner of the post, copy the link, and then paste that into the thread and direct them there.

If someone is banned for saying something like "reckless", then that should be consistent with moderators banning others saying the same thing.

The word "reckless" is not a violation of the ToS, saying someone is reckless, though, is. It's debating the person and not the subject.

Then the moderators need to look at who is doing the reporting and why. Was there really an attack, or is the person reporting simply retaliating? I've had posts deleted and been banned from threads because certain folks would rather have an "unjust peace" and act "happy happy" in false unity.

We look at the report content. It doesn't matter why it was reported or by whom, what matters is whether or not the reported content is a violation.

I'm speaking of reported insulting comments made in threads , I assume the Mods  see when posts are reported?-- so therefore,  then you have most certainly seen it.  I have been here for a few years now, and see it , it has gotten worse, there is an obvious bias as to what gets one person banned and the same or worse is ignored when it is another person. 

I would certainly say that the vast majority of that is due to who is willing to report things and who isn't. Some people report things often, others never do. We can't control who reports what. We look at the content of the report.

 Who reported "recklessly" as a reportable offense does not judge by  righteous judgment  -  this shows very biased lopsided enforcement of the moderation.  It is untrustworthy and based upon personality not on TOS or worse - retaliation. 

It's debating the subject, not the person. It's a violation of the terms of use, which ever member who joins this site agrees to abide upon registration.

Just now, Davida said:

Steve , with all due respect , some people have said way worse then  "you recklessly divide the Word" but they don't get banned from threads . 

If so, we almost certainly didn't see it. We don't have time to view even a reasonable percentage of the comments made here every day, particularly in some threads that go to 10 or 15 pages in a day or two. Often times there are multiple insults in threads that grow this fast and are contentious before we see the first report and usually those threads end up deleted because we don't have time to peruse all of it to clean it out. Any time you see something such as this, you should report it, and it will be dealt with.

So, "you handle scripture recklessly"  That is considered a horrible offense is it??  

It's a violation of the terms of service.

Quote

Debate the subject, not the person. It is possible to disagree about a doctrine or subject under discussion without insulting the person with whom you are debating. Also remember that the fact that a person disagrees with you does not mean they are attacking you as a person. Respect each other in the love of God! This is the main reason that threads get stopped, shut down, and even deleted!  We also reserve the right to remove any member from any thread for any of these violations. Users that cannot respect others will be banned. (Lev. 19:18)

The subject here is the antiChrist, not someone's expository abilities.

" being a reckless driver" .....it means carelessly, without caution, sloppily , so that is verboden is it? a bad word?  Hmm who are the snowflakes here that are taking quick offence? what has happened on this forum?

It's not a bad word or verboten, of course, but you can't accuse people of it here.

Are only awards &  complements are allowed when it comes to mishandling and incorrectly dividing the Word of GOD?  so if one would say "You have not correctly divided the Word! or that is a sloppy dividing of the Word of God." That Is that considered  insulting by the Mods now is it or only when certain individuals would say that?  

Whether or not it is insulting, it is debating the person and not the subject. The problem is when people want to make comments about the people they are debating rather than just sticking to the subject.

Really there is some very biased moderation going on here.  Why is it some individuals can make very snide remarks & it's Ok with the Mods , they are protected and get overlooked, this is bewildering to me,  but to say "recklessly" by another gets them banned from a thread?? 

We mainly only see posts that are reported. Probably 90-95 percent of people who are banned from threads or have their comments removed have been reported, which alerts us to it. If something gets overlooked, it's usually because we don't know about it, not because some individuals are "protected."

Man it was cold heading out to chemo 45 degrees. But it is lovely this afternoon. In the 70s. Sunny. This makes our summers bearable.

35 degrees at 4 in the afternoon here. Not typical weather here either, for sure lol. This is the "warmest" it's been today.

No. it isnt "semantics". You handle scripture recklessly! 

The son of perdition( not man) was Judas Iscariot. 

Heres some more truth:

Question: "Who is the son of perdition?"

Answer: The title “son of perdition” is used twice in the New Testament, first in John 17:12 and again in 2 Thessalonians 2:3. The phrase simply means “man doomed to destruction” and is not reserved for any one individual. In fact, there are two people to which the title “son of perdition” is applied. In context, John 17:12 is referring to Judas Iscariot, while 2 Thessalonians 2:3 is referring to the “man of lawlessness”—the Antichrist—who will appear in the end times before Christ’s return.

Please calm down. No I am not.  Not in any way.   I wish you would stop reading what I am saying in an attempt to criticize it before you can consider if because you are getting what I am saying wrong.  Just take a minute to think before you 'speak'.

 

  I am reminding you of the fact  that while Jesus did not talk of homosexuality, he did talk of judgementalism, pride and self righteousness and to me.  

Have a good day.  I have work to do.

My pastor speaks on this once a year or every other year it seems. He always points out that when Paul commanded for husbands to love their wives and wives to submit to their husbands, that the same original text word is used for "love" and "submit" but is translated into those two words to help convey the chief needs of men and women. But in both cases, the Bible is clear that submission to one another, I.E. putting the other's needs and considerations first and foremost ahead of your own, is not only not bad, but is necessary. It's commanded, not suggested.

That's interesting, because they are not the same words. Agapao is the word used for love and Hupotasso is the word used for submit. They are definitely different words with different meanings.

I think this one has probably ran its course.

Not necessarily true.   
By the way, many vegans claim to have eradicated health issues like diabetes.  You could google this if you want.  Many people who don't want to go by the term 'vegan', for understandable reasons, go for a plant based diet in order to bring them back to optimal health.

The main problem with this is that people's claims do not equate what is realistic. I'm sure there are people who have reversed type 2 diabetes by going on a totally vegan diet that helped them lose weight and get healthier and so forth. I'm also sure there are people who have done the same by eating a healthy diet that includes plenty of factory farm raised chickens, etc.

One could go vegan or "plant based" in their diet and replace the meat they stop eating with a ton of refined sugar and grains and develop diabetes that they didn't have before as well. There are many studies that show that certain diets can reverse type II diabetes, but they are lot more dependent upon the calories contained therein, the fat content, and combination of complex sugars, carbs, protein, etc.

In other words, if the goal is to get rid of type II diabetes for any given person, there are many options for this and no plant based diet has been proven to be more effective than one that contains meat (to my knowledge). Also, as I said, implying folks can go vegan and get rid of diabetes could lead to it getting far worse if the wrong vegan choices are made. You can eat tasty chocolate cake for every single meal without a single animal product in it.

My primary suggestion would be that people see their doctor about this or consult a licensed nutritionist of some sort, rather than using google and going off folks' anecdotal experiences.

Most seem to have an idea of Old McDonald's farm, in relationship to farms.
However, if new information was realized,  that from birth, most pigs raised today are confined to a cage small enough that they can do nothing but either lay down or stand up for their entire lives, would that make you rethink how much you like bacon?

In a word? No. How much one likes bacon is immaterial to how the pigs are treated. How the pigs are treated may be material to some people with regards to whether or not they eat it, but not with regards to how much they like it.
