Suppose someone were to say this? (Paraphrasing) "There is a god who will speak to you, he will prompt your spirit to respond to his. Now, whether you call him the nine, gaia, or whatever you call him, you should respond to him when he tells you to move" Is this Biblical? Is this the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of Israel? Peace, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be & might not be. If someone were to say that to me, we would have a discussion on who each of us considers God to be & why. There are many bad spirits speaking to people and moving them to act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, whether you call him the nine, gaia, or whatever you call him, you should respond to him when he tells you to move" ...that's the Deceiver.

Does this individual know the God of Israel, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? The individual was speaking in context of hearing God spiritually and acting in a Righteous manner. It didn't matter to this individual what name you called God and it didn't matter how you perceive Him, just that He's the same God. I believe that the Word states otherwise and that God has revealed Himself in one way and that we can't paint him up the way that we like. We also shouldn't listen to every spirit we hear but that we should try the spirit's just as the Word states. Peace, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well brother. The individual who said this thinks of himself as a spirit child and that angels are the same and that one day he will be a god too. At least his Church and their Theology believe this. The Othodox Christian viewpoint would be that you and I are Triune created beings. Body, Soul and Spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, if this individual knows God, he/she is being irreverent in saying it doesn't matter what He is called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think that if this person knows God, he would use His name & not say it doesn't matter what He is called.That just throws a red flag for me.
