Can you explain your stance here, since all Christians are representative of God?

I have nothing against the idea that all people, not just Christians, should be "representatives" of God. Whatever anyone thought of the meaning of the word “representative”. But I think it would be more appropriate for all people to be “children of God”. This with the word "representative" immediately creates a caste that thinks they are better and more important than others.

Won't the same question apply to the Ecclesiastical Body under Christ? Shouldn't all Christina's by guided by God's Holy Spirit? Why do you believe, it should be different to that particular body? Wouldn't "witness" and the 4 women be considered the same way, then?

I don't believe in GB concept, in the same way as with any other religious group or individuals. HS is in possibility/able to "guide" all sort of people, not exclusively "Christians".

Why do you believe Jesus didn't revise the laws of the Jews that didn't conform to canonical law? Wasn't that the reason, why certain ecclesiastical bodies joined together in order to condemn, and prosecute Jesus?

These are interesting questions.

Instead of acknowledging what Srecko is saying about continuity, you are treating it as if it's a trick question. Like asking if Muhammed Ali ever won a boxing match against Sonny Liston. The answer i

This history is all very interesting. But it's too easy to make statements that aren't exactly accurate, even though you are making them for the good purpose of counteracting someone else's statements

"Therefore Gog still represents, not a visible human ruler or nation, such as Russia, but a spirit ruler. Whom, then, does Gog symbolize?   It is evident now that Gog is a figure prophetic of the rule

Does this mean that Buddhism, Hinduism, Satanism, Wicca, etc. are representatives of God? You would be correct, we are all children of God. Do those children behave or believe they are?

If a child of God is an atheist, wouldn't a Christian representative that does believe in God be a better person in the eyes of God?

This would suggest you have a problem with titles. Do you think Jesus was wrong to give the "apostles" their title of apostles? Do you believe, Jesus had an issue with the ecclesiastical bodies titles of his time? The Pharisees, Sadducee's, and any other school of thought?

Is Christ representative of Christianity or Judaism? Therefore, how would the Holy Spirit guide the sort of people that are into  Buddhism, Hinduism, Satanism, Wicca, etc.? Hindus believe in "reincarnation" of the soul. How would the HS flow in an animal, or plant? Buddhist believe in the "rebirth" of man. Rebirth is the sense, the soul never dies but is recycled within itself. 

How about people that identify themselves as Judeo-Christian. Can the HS guide those that align themselves to a tradition that was revised by Christ himself?

I'm sad to see you did not keep your word, and you are now just an obnoxious fool, like @Pudgy Satan has really gotten a hold of you. The same kind of tasteless and foolishness you just posted. I guess you can't be civil.

Thank you for the compliments. 

Let me tell you about my day... This morning at 7 am I went for a lovely walk along our local seafront and onto the pebble beach. The sun shone and i was listening to some great music through my cans (headphones). Then suddenly i spotted a dead dolphin on the beach. Quite sad to see, but life and death happen. 

Earlier this evening I spent sometime on my computer looking at MSN. Some very sad stories and horrible pictures. It's show what a mess the world is in.

So, Dimmy, Bily, Allen, i have visited this forum now for some light entertainment, which you always provide for me :).

Thank you for the light entertainemnt and for giving me something, or someone to laugh at. You brighten up my day.

Foolish people do laugh at themselves. Glad you believe your poor behavior is hilarious to you. This must mean, you entertain yourself daily. I'm sure God doesn't find you amusing or funny. How would I know that, read and understand the bible.

I'm sure you woke up bitter with the intention to do battle. Find another one of your kind to fight with, and you're correct, you are not an entertaining person, just an angry and sad one like @Pudgy

I do not know the details of their hierarchy and theology on this issue. How members of other religions feel before God should be learned from themselves.

If we accept the fact that God is the Creator of men, then He is also their Father.

To my knowledge, Jesus did not establish a system of titles. In fact, he told his followers, "you are all brothers."

Remind me where Jesus appointed his first followers to receive the title of "apostles"?

From the day of his baptism to the rest of his life, Jesus had a problem with the established system in the hierarchy of the Jewish system. When using their titles, he used existing words that signified the established hierarchy of the people of that time. Jesus did not grant anyone any title or status. That already existed. Or the terminology used today was established after his death.

Why do you worry about what HS can or can’t do? :)

As well, they should be aware there is a heavenly creator. It's sad those religions follow their own interpretation on what creation is, such as science. Wicca members believe in the 4 corners of the earth, elements. Who do you believe would be the most appropriate person to guide such people?

This is true, under God, all true Christians are brothers. I'll be happy to provide how Jesus appointed the apostles.

Mark 3:13-19

New International Reader's Version

Jesus Appoints the Twelve Disciples

13 Jesus went up on a mountainside. He called for certain people to come to him, and they came. 14 He appointed 12 of them so that they would be with him. He would also send them out to preach. 15 And he gave them authority to drive out demons.

Does this mean, you believe Jesus "opposed" those with titles? Shouldn't there be a difference between "rejecting" with oppose? Matthew 23:3. You don't believe, the status of apostle is a rightful title. It is true, Jesus rejected any "earthly" title such as King.

Isn't it you that has been talking about the HS? I have no concern on how the Holy Spirit functions in a soul that merits it. My question to you was in, how the HS would work in people that don't believe in a heavenly creator, since you believe everyone is deserving of it, not just Christians. The foundation of Christianity established by Christ himself. 🤔

Food for thought. What do suppose Titus meant in Chapter 1? Aren't Elders spiritual leaders? Isn't Elder a title?

 

Qualifications for Elders

5 This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you— 6 if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife,3 and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination. 7 For an overseer,4 as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, 8 but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. 9 He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in xsound5 doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.

10 For there are many who are insubordinate, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision party. 11 They must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for shameful gain what they ought not to teach. 12 One of the Cretans,6 a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”7 13 This testimony is true. Therefore, rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, 14 not devoting themselves to Jewish myths and the commands of people who turn away from the truth. 15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work.

Do you believe by man’s definition of the word “insubordinate” 1? Defiant of authority; disobedient to orders, carries God’s Holy Spirit as believed by “witness” anointed prophet Pearl Doxsey?

Now on the word “works” What can be expressed with that word, action. Therefore, by Their works (actions) they deny God. How can a person that denies God by being insubordinate be considered, anointed?

That must be some sort of "holy secret".

To what end are you referring? Did Jesus hold his miracles in secret? How about the apostles? They were full of God's Holy Spirit. But, we don't have Jesus and the apostles to literally show us the power of God's grace. What do we have instead?

Elders (1:5–9)

The first subject of this letter provided Titus with instructions concerning church leaders. Verse 5 states Titus’s task, and the following verses in the paragraph identify the character qualities needed in the new leaders.

Titus was to appoint leaders in every place where there was a group of believers. Probably the entire congregation selected these leaders with the encouragement of Titus. He had the official responsibility, as a representative of Paul, to appoint them to office.

How can you qualify an "overseer" as?

Gog just emailed me, he said he's gonna have to put things on hold, this D-matar was causing a back log in research and development. These new developments caused Jehovah to double check his math and chronology. In the meantime Gog is clutching his groin cause he has to pee really really bad. Can you guys just figure things out for jehovah so the magogites can set up some portapoties please.

    • It appears to me that this is a key aspect of the 2030 initiative ideology. While the Rothschilds were indeed influential individuals who were able to sway governments, much like present-day billionaires, the true impetus for change stems from the omnipotent forces (Satan) shaping our world. In this case, there is a false God of this world. However, what drives action within a political framework? Power! What is unfolding before our eyes in today's world? The relentless struggle for power. The overwhelming tide of people rising. We cannot underestimate the direct and sinister influence of Satan in all of this. However, it is up to individuals to decide how they choose to worship God. Satanism, as a form of religion, cannot be regarded as a true religion. Consequently, just as ancient practices of child sacrifice had a place in God's world, such sacrifices would never be accepted by the True God of our universe. Despite the promising 2030 initiative for those involved, it is unfortunately disintegrating due to the actions of certain individuals in positions of authority. A recent incident serves as a glaring example, involving a conflict between peaceful Muslims and a Jewish representative that unfolded just this week. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/11/us-delegation-saudi-arabia-kippah?ref=upstract.com Saudi Arabia was among the countries that agreed to the initiative signed by approximately 179 nations in or around 1994. However, this initiative is now being undermined by the devil himself, who is sowing discord among the delegates due to the ongoing Jewish-Hamas (Palestine) conflict. Fostering antisemitism. What kind of sacrifice does Satan accept with the death of babies and children in places like Gaza, Ukraine, and other conflicts around the world, whether in the past or present, that God wouldn't? Whatever personal experiences we may have had with well-known individuals, true Christians understand that current events were foretold long ago, and nothing can prevent them from unfolding. What we are witnessing is the result of Satan's wrath upon humanity, as was predicted. A true religion will not involve itself in the politics of this world, as it is aware of the many detrimental factors associated with such engagement. It understands the true intentions of Satan for this world and wisely chooses to stay unaffected by them.
    • This idea that Satan can put Jews in power implies that God doesn't want Jews in power. But that would also imply that God only wants "Christians" including Hitler, Biden, Pol Pot, Chiang Kai-Shek, etc. 
    • @Mic Drop, I don't buy it. I watched the movie. It has all the hallmarks of the anti-semitic tropes that began to rise precipitously on social media during the last few years - pre-current-Gaza-war. And it has similarities to the same anti-semitic tropes that began to rise in Europe in the 900's to 1100's. It was back in the 500s AD/CE that many Khazars failed to take or keep land they fought for around what's now Ukraine and southern Russia. Khazars with a view to regaining power were still being driven out into the 900's. And therefore they migrated to what's now called Eastern Europe. It's also true that many of their groups converted to Judaism after settling in Eastern Europe. It's possibly also true that they could be hired as mercenaries even after their own designs on empire had dwindled.  But I think the film takes advantage of the fact that so few historical records have ever been considered reliable by the West when it comes to these regions. So it's easy to fill the vacuum with some very old antisemitic claims, fables, rumors, etc..  The mention of Eisenhower in the movie was kind of a giveaway, too. It's like, Oh NO! The United States had a Jew in power once. How on earth could THAT have happened? Could it be . . . SATAN??" Trying to tie a connection back to Babylonian Child Sacrifice Black Magick, Secret Satanism, and Baal worship has long been a trope for those who need to think that no Jews like the Rothschilds and Eisenhowers (????) etc would not have been able to get into power in otherwise "Christian" nations without help from Satan.    Does child sacrifice actually work to gain power?? Does drinking blood? Does pedophilia??? (also mentioned in the movie) Yes, it's an evil world and many people have evil ideologies based on greed and lust and ego. But how exactly does child sacrifice or pedophilia or drinking blood produce a more powerful nation or cabal of some kind? To me that's a giveaway that the authors know that the appeal will be to people who don't really care about actual historical evidence. Also, the author(s) of the video proved that they have not done much homework, but are just trying to fill that supposed knowledge gap by grasping at old paranoid and prejudicial premises. (BTW, my mother and grandmother, in 1941 and 1942, sat next to Dwight Eisenhower's mother at an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eisenhower family had been involved in a couple of "Christian" religions and a couple of them associated with IBSA and JWs for many years.)
