Where Will You Stand?

Where will You Stand?

Joh 15:18 If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before it hated you.

The verse quote is from the ASV.

This week my class will be a study on A Hill On Which To Stand. In class, we will use 1 Kings 18:20-21, 37-39, 19:1-3a &13b-18. I have included the above passage because it fits so very well.

Recently I have posted other articles that are, sometimes, hard teachings and some of the time, basic, but against the human nature and always, as expected, there are a number that rebuke me from one position or another. If a man, or a woman, will turn their life over to the calling of the Holy Spirit they will be rebuked and will need to learn to discern Spirit led from Satanic led rebukes. And, always, remember that the Satanic led are fooled and are not, usually, aware that the spirit leading them is not the Holy Spirit.

I have repeatedly seen people that are assuring me or another teacher that they have received a revelation from the HS that supersedes the Bible. First of all, the Holy Spirit is not HS!

God, all three persons, must be revered and never treated casually. I am always rebuked for being to Legalistic for statements like this one and for telling folks that God is spelled with a capital g and never the lower case. I am often assured, by others that these repetitive misspellings are just a typo but I tell you that if I write god and then I write God in the next sentence I have committed two errors and both, in the case here, are sins against God! I have indeed made a typo on the first spelling and that is an accidental sin and not proof reading my text before posting the error is a sin of omission! But, if I use the lower case when speaking of the god or gods of this world and repetitively spell the name of God with the same lower case... it is not a typo! That is disrespect, intentional or forgetful, of God and does not bring a twinkle to the eye of God!

Before you get upset with me, read John 1:1-5! Jesus is the same unchanging God of the Old Testament, Malachi 3:6, that killed all of Achan's family, Joshua 7:1-20, for Achan's sin against God. God, Jesus, even killed Achan's children and God punished the entire nation for this sin, before Israel knew of it at the Battle of Ai. God is forgiving, He always has been, but when, if not today, will you ask for forgiveness and repent of your sin? The longer you dwell in any sin, the more stiff necked you become. And, until you ask for forgiveness, in repentence God does not forgive.

Like Joshua, I and my family have staked out our hill to stand on, we are going to serve and to worship

God every day of what's left of our lives in every manor we can muster. In Matthew 7:23 we find Jesus telling those in the second resurrection that He never knew them, even though they did works in His name and for Him. I tell you the truth, God will not be taken lightly! He also said that if we love Him, we will keep His commands. Are you serving your Master or are you serving god?

The old testament interface between God and Man was to fear him and simply obey. the new testament interface is to love God and want to be like him........ There is a huge difference in the approach God uses to interface with us today.

Please direct me to the scripture from whence this premise originated.

I have interacted with people, the Holy Spirit and I have set a good deal of hardware and software interfaces but I have never seen nor dealt with an interface for God. I do know that God is King and I am a member of the force that is involved with Kingdom building. And as mentioned, in Mal. 3:6 we are taught that God is never changing. I believe your misunderstanding comes about as most folks has, the lack of study for the entire scriptures.

I always considered myself to be of reasonable intellligence but I haven't a clue what the post is really about.

I agree that one should always write God with an upper case G. That was the only bit I understood. Could anyone explain it in simple language ?

Well, I need to be as gracious as I can but the truth is often seen as rude. On a couple of other forums I have had several conversations with folks of English up-brining and, frankly, I'm not astonished at your inability to grasp the concept of the post. The reasons for this dismay are advanced and well ahead of the US but my people are rushing to fall to the level found in Great Briton.

Okay, for both sides of the pond! There is a great and general disregard for the things of God in all manor and area of life! The m8isspelling of God's name whether it be God, Jehovah, Yahweh or any of the other names for The Father is just a symptom of the cause, a.k.a. te problem. For instance, my reading and writing skill level is that of a fifth grade student o the sixties and today, it might as well be Koine Greek or Ancient Hebrew! We, all peoples, have dumbed ourselves to such a level that the average person has no idea what-so-ever the scriptures have to say about anything.

Today, this is a problem of such magnitude that those calling the name of Christ feel that He should appreciate the sacrifice they offer Him by getting out of bed on Sunday morning, He doesn't appreciate that attitude at all. When the world was ruled by Kings the world had a fair understanding of how to treat and show respect to royalty but that has been lost and now we treat God like our dispossessed, disrespected Royalty. God today, in the minds of men, is the granter of favors, just like the Candy-man in a child's dream.

I trust that you understand now? God bless and may He rant you a glorious tomorrow.

Fo0rgive me for not responding sooner but I went to lunch with one of my sons.

If you read the post, the scripture reference is there.

No it is not, please quote it.

I haven't a clue what that means apart from the obvious slight on Great BRITAIN.

You make sweeping statements about Christians.........................

"Today, this is a problem of such magnitude that those calling the name of Christ feel that He should appreciate the sacrifice they offer Him by getting out of bed on Sunday morning, He doesn't appreciate that attitude at all"

"God today, in the minds of men, is the granter of favors, just like the Candy-man in a child's dream"

The above certainly doesn't apply to me and it doesn't apply to a great many people who I know.

I would like to hope that God doesn't rant me; tomorrow or any other day.

The Holy Spirit is our interface with the Father....... I'm sorry you don't know that.
