There’s an awful lot of “self” in your explanation.
How does this reconcile with “deny yourself”?
I do not espouse preterism, nor am I an anti-semite. Give me one example in which I have advocated either.
/\
i don't see how you dont get to choose not to , as it is part and parcel of the original sethite doctrine...
..remember that is how black slavery was justified . . ( before the darwinists and their “ closer to apes” science came along.
have you conveniently forgotten these things ? or just ignorant ? at any rate, im glad you dont agree with that part of the rabid antisemetic sethite doctrine at least.
all part of the
” did God really say “ crowd.
or is your doctrine set simply laodicean / potatohead in nature ?
well, at any rate im glad you dont buy the racist part of the clasic historical preterist doctrine .
are you really not a preterist ?
do you believe Israel has been replaced by the church ?
Do you believe there will be a 1000 year reign of Christ in Israel ?
if so, forgive me for labeling you preterist.
Very good question.
The self identity or ego identity is a necessary stepping st9ne to experiencing God.
You cannot fully experience God unless you surrender your individual will to God.
You cannot surrender your individual will to God if someone else is holding it in a dependency or co-dependency relationship, as they have control over your will.
Thus the ego or self identity is where you take your will from other people and own it yourself. Only then do you have the authority to surrender it to God.

The definition of a preterist -— in Christianity : one who holds that the prophecies in the Bible about the End Times have already been fulfilled.
I do not believe that Israel has been replaced by the church. Jesus is the vine and Jews are the branches. Christians have been grafted in. God is not through with the Jews at all. They will turn to Messiah during the tribulation. They are still God’s people. I believe there will be a thousand year reign on Earth, after the battle of Armageddon.
If you have a different definition of preterist, tell me what it is. I’ve never really thought about the actual term; it’s not a word that gets tossed around much, though apparently there are people who believe in the concept, as defined above.
yup, definatly not a preterist.
i beleive ya /-).
nailed it to a t.
i stand corrected.
“Are you saying that evil does not exist?”
No. Im saying there is enough evil inherent in man, that we need not invent demonic possession as an excuse for the evil that men do
“That’s what science is good for”
So, exorcists provide a needed and useful service on account of all the demonic possessions?
“You can keep your head in the sand and enjoy your ego bubble. “
You can assume that an engineering mind is incapable of anything else, thats fine. However, I guarantee that you can provide no proof (there I go, with that spock-like empiricism!) That you exorcised anything akin to a demon from anybody, nor are you willing to provide any “follow-up data” on those you supposedly exorcised. There is a near certainty that they are still just as crazy as they were before you did your thing.
I get it, you believe you have this power, or you are convincing enough in faking it.
There is, and never will be evidence that supports exorcisms. Anevtdotes, grainy photos, orvideo shot through a key hole notwithstanding. There is no evidence that what you say is true.
I apologize for the bluntness, but its needed when folks who read this may be inclined to believe what you say without any refutation.
....or maybe Im just possesed for having the temerity to disagree.
Thank you. It takes a big person to apologize.
I have no opinion either way on exorcisms.
Other folks more familiar with that topic can respond to your question.
It is good to be skeptical. But your caution can also cause you to be wrong.
It’s ok to have no idea or opinion. But to have an emphatic opinion when you also admit that you also have no idea is hypocracy.
Often, that is the type of behavior I would expect when someone is carrying an attachment. I have tape recordings somewhere of a session where the demon took over a woman’s body and stated his mission was to kill me. It was all two of us could do to keep her in the chair as she thrashed about after the demon entered her. Yet after it was removed she was her calm normal self.
Verbal attacks are quite common, even from total strangers even when I’ve never said one word.
Just being near them, they get agitated with me. It’s not me, but what flows through me that they hate.
This path was not my choice. It just happened to me as a result of an NDE 35 years ago. I returned from Heaven a different person.
I suggest you read Scott Peck’s book, “People of the Lie” or his other book “Glimpses of the Devil.” He was a psychiatrist who wrote several books on the subject that are relatively accurate.
Dr. William Baldwin and Dr. Irene Hickman also wrote excellent books on this topic. I knew them, but unfortunately there is a tendancy to get stung when doing this work and they, along with other friends who did this work are all dead. I would be too if it had not been for the Grace of God many times.
I’m not entering a pissing contest with you, and I will say an extra prayer for you. I understand where people are at in their soul development path and the experiences they bring into their lives, without judgement. I’m a screw up and make mistakes, even sin on occasion. I’m far from perfect. But God appears to Love me anyway.
🙏🙏🙏
Ps. I assume by your screen name that you are very familiar with radio frequencies. Apply those concepts to consciousness and read about the frequencies of consciousness as measured in an EEG, especially the gamma frequencies. You have a very good foundation for understanding God from a scientific perspective.
Bottom line is that you must “find yourself” before you can “lose yourself.”
