I think so. But with an exception, those wicked are not allowed to enter His rest. Hebrews 3:11 So I declared on oath in my anger, 'They shall never enter my rest.'

Hey Rufus - First of all, as I stated in the OP, I am not a prophet, so I am not giving any prophetic claims to this. I do appreciate what the Body has to say about this though, and see if the Lord is revealing anything similar to anyone. As for the Scripture you quoted, I agree with a post above that your highlights were taken out of context, because the focus was more on those leading the people astray to worship other gods than it was the dreams. But if the Lord does not speak through dreams, who spoke to Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel and Joseph of Nazareth and the Wise Men? Even Paul was given a "vision of the night" to go to Macedonia. So I am not understanding your claim that I am denying "the sufficiency of Scripture." Do you not listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit? No worry. I think that if you don't know the answer yet you suspect that the dream may contain some prophetic meanings, you can post without hesitation. Acts 2:17 In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. I think that if one of the readers is very sure about what your dream could mean, your dream can be useful to him. He may know what God wants to tell him through your dream. There could be a message there for someone else. In my study, prophetic dreams may be divided into two halves, one half is in the dream while the other half is in reality. They can combine magically with one another. For example, you dream of a not with some alphabets like "ands", on the other hand you or one of the readers may have a strange paper on hand with some strange characters like "comm". Then the message now may look like "comm" + "ands" = "commands". Perhaps God is comfirming a previous dream (or anything only the messenger will understand) is of His commands. It is more or less like a two part puzzle with one in dream and the other in reality.

Truth is evidence-independent. Truth itself exists as a truth. Evidence are actually pieces of information allowing a human brain (or rather human belief system) to belief that if it is a truth of not. Your brain hits a truth when what's inside your belief system matches what the truth itself is. Yet that 'match' is hardly measurable. That is, one can hardly 100% sure what's inside our brain actually matches what the truth itself is. That's why the Matrix advocate. Science is abit special. Science is the discovery of natural rules. And natural rules can predict. They predict precisely for a human brain/belief system to reckon them as the truth. Empirical evidence actually means something which can fool the brains/belief systems of a certain mass of humans. Each human brain/belief system is unique. Thus something is evident to someone may not be evident enough to another. God gives tailored evidence to those individuals who have faith in Him. Thus the theists' (at least some of them) belief is based on both faith and evidence. While the atheists' belief is based on the absence of evidence. The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence - Einstein. Now the atheists' belief is based a fallacy.

Nice finding. Faith is one's trust on God.

It's not in the bible...at all. If God intended it to be a "main precept", He would have mentioned it, at least once. The doctrine is man made, 3rd century written, and the apostles never heard of the word trinity, so how central can it be? Christianity is basically a relationship with God. These days He will inform His sheep about who He is. It is said "Jesus is God" is directly written in the Bible. It is also said that "immortal soul" is not written in the Bible. Yet they are main precept concepts which second born Christian and God's church on earth will understand.

Spiritual gift usually means something not all Christian can obtain. Some kind of specialty God gifted for a purpose. Yet the discernment of spirit is the job of all Christians in general. Chritians discern more correctly just at the time when they are closely with the Holy Spirit. No one can be accurate persistently all the times. As the distance between God and someone is not always the same, his relationship with God is not always the same close. And even the prophets are warned against pride and disobedience.

Hmm...sometimes I saw people with pride think that they have the gift of discernment. To me, ability of discernment comes from the Holy Spirit who guides you to the Bible knowledge to allow you to discern more correctly. That's the way I see it too. That's why sometimes they consider using experience to expose the nature of the evil spirits as a sin.

Because it is the end time now, heresies and false doctrines are everywhere. God will inform His Trinity to the second born Christians to assure them that their faith is the correct kind of faith demanded by God. If you are willing to speculate, at this moment the sound doctrines are accompanied with the Trinity concept.

Hmm...sometimes I saw people with pride think that they have the gift of discernment. To me, ability of discernment comes from the Holy Spirit who guides you to the Bible knowledge to allow you to discern more correctly.

If you are confused, then it's not for you to read. Not confused; aghast. I don't if people here failed to comprehend what I said, or I didn't present it well. I don't what make people think that I am on the OP's side. Yet people here seem to prefer to sending out emotes instead of presenting words about their own opinions. So I have to say again that if you think that I am on the OP's side, you might misunderstood what I was trying to say. In this case, try to express your own opinions instead of sending smilies and emotes. Of course, you are welcome to send irrelevant smilies at the time you misunderstand, that's your own choice.

If you are confused, then it's not for you to read. Not confused; aghast. Present an argument then. Sometimes people send emotes for the lack of arguments.

to me, the whole OBE is the tilt business. I learned this from my own experience. That's why I said that OBE may not be the prophets' experience, can't you read?

If you are confused, then it's not for you to read.

It happened that I had some supernatural experience. In my study, when your soul is a bit tilted from your body, you can communicate with the 'outside world' either actively or passively. First it doesn't mean that your soul is truly out of your body (it's just a slide tilt), second it's like a channel is made available and 'anyone' can use that channel to establish a supernatural 'communication'. In my study, the prophets' experience is very different from this kind of OBE. While this kind of OBE is very much close to how the buddhists try to 'see' the 'outside world'. They are actually contacting the spirtis in the 'outside world'. The buddhists can train themselves to participate in this kind of OBE by will and actively. Usually, the following are some possible ways of how this kind of OBE is made possible, a) trained by practice, buddhists called this 'open heaven eye' (i don't really know how to translated it to English). They thnk that they can 'see' the 'outside world' this way, yet without their own knowledge they are actually trying to contact the outside spirits. b) due to sickness in childhood (or something to that effect), the slide tilt between soul and the body somehow becomes abit 'permanent', which means not all the times but rather periodically they can 'see' the 'outside world' passively. Ususally, people of this kind often claim to see 'ghosts' accidentially here and there. I think this is more likely how the OP got his 'ability'. c) At the time when people are unhealthy or are in sickness, their body will be tilted slidely from the body. Unlike in b) this is quite a temporary effect. People of this kind usually claim to see 'ghost' not that often but perhaps once or twice in their life time. d) Somehow through unknown demonic media, such as psyche media or demonic board games or any ceremony type worshiping behavior work to the same effect. People may be in direct contact with the demons this way. While the prophets' experience is different in alot of aspects. I can tell at least 2 characteristics. 1. Unless you are a known prophet, such as John or Isaiah and so on, you need witnesses in a form somehow. 2. OBE usually repeats, while the prophets' experience don't. If the prophets experience repeat, they must have a very specific and obvious reason for them to repeat. So this kind of OBE is quite dangerous ones spiritually speaking if they repeats (either you do that actively or it happens passively) while lacking the necessary witnesses.

You are assuming that they have already been kicked out of heaven....... I have some friends that can discuss that subject with you for days at a time as to whether or not this has happened or is to happen as written in Revelation chapter 12. Many people that I interface with consider Satan still having access to heaven to accuse us of every little thing that we do wrong. The serpent is biting the dust on earth in the Hades side. He's collecting evidence about those sinners because he's so keen on keeping their souls with him. He will accuss them of in the final judgment, such that those without being saved by Jesus' blood will stay with him.

First, truth is evidence independent. Truth exists by itself, evidence is just for a human brain identify or to belief it is a truth or not. Faith is thus required in order to recognise a truth. Science is about discovery of natural rules which can predict. It is because scientific rules which predict precisely that our brains reckon them as the truth. History can hardly be proven in a scientific way, the so-called 'evidence' is waiting for a human brain or human brains to interpret, which is faith based. Because humans are of a variety that each one has a unique belief system, what appears to be evident to someone, will be the lack-of to another. Science as for the discovery of natural rules deals with factors directly impacting the objects under research, and what relations these factors connected to the objects under research. Temperature and humidity and so forth are of such a kind of factors directly impacting the process of 'evolution', yet they are exclusively excluded in the 'theory of evolution'. This is because ToE is nothing scientific but rather a verbal explanation of what those 'evidence' could mean. Evolution is thus a faith. It is a religion when this faith is shared amongst the evolutionists. As for human theories, they are divided into for categories. Category 1 The lowest form theories are purely speculations and can hardly predict correctly. Whenever they are used to predict, they will be falsify right away. This include the 'theory of evolution'. So whenever you use the 'theory of evolution' to make a prediction on what will be the next to evolve, and under what environmental factors (temp. and hum. etc) should this evolution occur, the theory will fail its prediction and thus be falsified. So evolutionists, don't ever try to predict an evolution using your theory, or else your theory will be falsified right away. Category 2 an upper form of human theories attempting to summarize certain rules which can make some predictions, but their rate of success is low and heavily depends on how well and how experienced you are to make use of them. these theories include war tactics, politics, sociology, financial/economic theories and so forth. Category 3 these are pseudo or semi science with some capability of prediction, yet waiting to be adjusted under a attempt-falsify-attempt process. These include geography, psychology, climate study and so forth. Category 4 These are the scientific theories or laws or whatever you call them. They can make predictions upto 100%. These include physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology and etc.

Earth is a place deeply influenced by Satan and his death force. If people can 'survive' this by faith and choose to be with God in this environment, they will no longer rebel when in heaven where Satan's force will be absent.

In my study, this is a very two-folded puzzle. On the one hand, it is talking about currency in reality, on the other it is talking about (it seems to me) how the Lawless one (or any beast) hijacked the US, for the spreading of spiritual posions through the national education system. The beast's human name somehow is Washington. His image is in every money notes of teh states, without the money notes in their hands, you can hardly buy or sell goods. When 666 is turned upside down it becomes 999 which represents gold's purity. And gold is money, and money is said to be the root of all evil. Anyway, the beast's name is Washington (or the US). On the other hand, the mark represents how humans are stamped with a mark of education. And in modern countries (7 heads and 10 horns), one can hardly make a living (buy and sell) without education. While in modern countries education affects everyone's mind (forehead) and behavior (right-hand). Because our mind and behavior are essentially affected by our education that it leaves a mark to all of us. Now what the lawless one to do is to gain control of the education system through which scientism such as evolution is spreaded like a plague, for people with an education mark to fight God. The lawless one also gains control of the so-called 'scientists' (oops, no offense), they are the ones with 2 horns like a lamb but speak like the dragon, and under the command of the US (first beast) they caused atomic bombs (fire) to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men.

Yep, I understand that notion. Actually I've got booted somewhere when I post the same thing. But I feel that I know them 'better' because I am experienced (not about demon possession directly, but something else). Moreover, It seems that easten religions are more or less involving 'contact' of these spirit things. They maintain a kind of communication with spirits in Hades but without their own conscious knowledge. And in south east asia, people know how to trigger such a kind of invitations, and even know how to make use of the demons to serve their own purposes (i.e., wizardry, cursing and so forth).

First, truth is evidence-independent. Evidence is for a human belief system to believe that it is the truth. Faith is inevitably involved in this process. Science is about the discovery of natural rules that can predict. It takes not much faith to believe in science because scientific rules can predict precisely for a human brain to reckon them as the truth. The bad part is that evidence are waiting for a human brain to explain. Even worse, evidence ca be used by a belief system to interpret in a subjective way to support what the belief system itself wants to believe. When a school of thoughts go through such a process, or has to rely on such a process, it can hardly be scientific. History can hardly be proven scientifically, historical evidence are waiting for a human brain (rather human belief system) to interpret. History can thus hardly be scientific at all. In contrary, faith is inevitable whenever history is involved. The more far away history is, perhaps more faith is needed. How can a scientific theory never cater related basic elements. Or how can a scientific theory is incapable of handling basic factors directly impact the theory itself. If a scientific theory cannot even handly the basic elements or direct factors impacting the theory itself, how can this theory be scientific?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Temperature, humidity and so forth are basic environmental factor directly impacting evolution itself (if evolution exists at all). Yet ToE appears as if they are irrelevant. ToE can hardly be scientific because it is incapable of dealing the most basic elements which directly impacting the process. This is actually why ToE can never make a prediction.

In my study, fallen angels are relative large in size. They can cast influence to human souls. Yet they don't seem to be allowed to enter directly into our realm (to do physical damages and etc.). They can also enslave human souls in Hades. Those enslaved directly are referred to as demons or evil spirits. Demons/evil spirits demand for human bodies as their houses because once upon a time they were humans. That's why the demon possession, that is, they live in your house. They are enslaved and acquired specialties from the fallen angels, and they will approach you when invited. Demons can thus be invited through various media such as demon board game, psychics and so on (alot). Once invited, they will try to communicate with you in various forms, including demon possession.

Sure. But more often when Grace is discussed, people usually refer it to salvation. That's why I said as what I said.

In regarding to salvation, Grace is a relatvie to Law. Like I said, Grace without Law could only mean that God can grant you salvatoin without the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. So the question is, are you saved by His Grace without Jesus Christ?

Grace = above Law By Law we are dead through Adam, and by His Grace we are saved through Jesus Christ. Grace does not necessarily mean above law. It refers to God's loving kindness which is given not because we deserve it, but because it is part of God's nature. This, like any of his attributes, is conditioned by His other attributes. In other words, God does not extend Grace at the expense of his holiness, or execute judgement at the expense of His love. When it is said the we are saved by His Grace, it means "above Law", or else Jesus Christ doesn't need to be sacrificed to make the Law complete. Grace without considering Law simply means He gives you eternal life without the need of Jesus Christ.

Grace = above Law By Law we are dead through Adam, and by His Grace we are saved through Jesus Christ.
