As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you.

Amen. It is the personal relationship that makes all the difference. Thanks for sharing simplejeff. God be with us all in our desire to know Him and come to Him. In Jesus' name and for his sake. Amen.

it is no harm to remind you,  that most things on earth (society/ corporations/ churches/ businesses) are corrupt and deceitful - as someone said "not real and counterfeit".  most 'liturgy' for example has the form of religion but denies the power of Yahweh and has nothing to do with Yeshua.

like a few posts back - Paul was addressing those who the religious leaders were trying to decieve.

well, today, the religious leaders are having a heyday !  protected (wickedly) by various carnal means from religious to civil to criminal, locally in many places, and right on up higher in all of the religious and political governments ....

i.e. what is accepted by the world, is false and deceitful - from the enemy of Jesus.

the only standard to rely on is Yahweh and HIS WORD, AND as He permits, His Revelation thru Yeshua  (not thru religious men or man's corruption or man's religion) .

this standard is perfect and reliable - you must rely on Yahweh here online, as there is much deception and lies posted.

always , like the BEREAN'S - REMAIN IN PRAYER and GO TO SCRIPTURE to see if what anyone says is true ----

almost everything you read (everywhere) and see (all around/ in person and on the tv if you watch) every day is a lie.   that's how bad the world and world church is, and how full of deceitful power is everyplace.

Amen. It is the personal relationship that makes all the difference. Thanks for sharing simplejeff. God be with us all in our desire to know Him and come to Him. In Jesus' name and for his sake. Amen.
