As concerning the book of Revelations the book of Revelations, unless the literal and figurative reasonings are properly divided, the understandings as they are being taught today in our assemblies are just fictional.

And so you would be?

It is only my intention to try and be of a help in the proper reasoning out of the things that our Heavenly Father has written unto His children for their edification. 

 

I myself have been given much knowledge over the years of study, but at the same time I realize as so did the patriarch Peter that there is still so much that I have not yet been given by the Holy Spirit, for no "Man" knoweth anything of himself and must be taught.

 

I am not a biblical scholar nor do I claim to be one, but that such as has been given unto me I willfully share with all who will receive it as commanded by the Holy Spirit.

 

I stated {Not everyone is a self made scholar of scripture} because there are those who think themselves as much which is evident in their manner of writing, but for the most part they only succeed in the muddling of the truth so that know one has a chance of learning anything.

 

These are spoken of in the great book of Jude as well as other places in scripture, for in all their efforts and with much saying, they prophet nothing.

 

Oh well

I'm not either. What is evident is the difference between literal and figurative. The problem of taking the literal translation out of the Gospel is, it then becomes a bit soggy.

FYI, there are no such things as demons, they are daimons- to distribute fortunes, which is self. The jews believed in demons being ancestors, who would pass down to them traits like alcoholism etc. Yeshua cast out self, as it can send you crazy, like schizophrenia, which is why the pigs threw themselves off the cliff, they couldn't stand all that self! By the way, other areas & cultures also have their so called demonic beings that are myth, like genies for the arabs, faeries for the celts, & guardian angels for the romans.

I respectfully disagree.I was shocked when a very good friend, an electrical engineering student, told me that he was sensing demons on campus. I was extremely shocked because he never seemed remotely religious or even spiritual for the 9 years I had known him.

I think the evidence of demons being real convinced him that the Bible was literally true.

They are Extra-Universal life forms.

Though physicists know about "Maxwell's Demon", it is just purely figurative  "thought device" in the study of thermodynamics.  (James Clerk Maxwell was a Christian apologist  who debated Darwin ,and  an eminent physicist , who is widely considered among the top 3 scientific minds in history.) They should have called  it"Maxwell's Angel".

Here from the top technical university on the planet, MIT, is some stuff about Maxwell's deep Christian faith:

(For those who are seeking across the globe):Sweet people of all ethnicities in America and the world please believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior and God. I humbly and honestly tell you that Christ Jesus  is the only Way to peace in this life,and to eternal life and happiness in Heaven.

The most important law of biblical hermeneutics is that the Bible should be interpreted literally. We want to see the truth. It is vital to our christianity.

You have never encountered one. It was not a myth or a "self" that some of us have encountered.

Hello ayin jade,

I'd be interested if you could comment further on your encounter?

I rarely ever discuss them. Sorry. I do not find it edifying to talk about them in detail.
