How many different versions of the Bible are there? How many different versions in English.

They are not all the same!

If you say that “your chosen version” is the correct version, then all the other versions are translation errors to you.

The debate on the translation of Matthew 19:24 has been ongoing for centuries. In Aramaic, the words rope and camel are very similar.

If you believe your words, there is something amiss in your logic. Common sense is not common.

Indeed!!

But, sadly, many folks do this.

They are just SURE that the KJV was good enough for Paul, then it oughta be for us as well.


I KNEW there was a reason for me having so many different VERSIONs of the bible.

Heck, I've even got different versions of the Book of Mormon, and there's an Egyptian Book of the Dead on my shelf somewhere.

I do not, however, have a JW 'bible' or a Reader's Digest one.

Why have so many different versions if there are no translation errors?

Why a Standard Version and a Revised Standard Version?

I study the Bible to better understand what I experience. The same with the Egyptian and Tibetan Books of the Dead. I have several translations of each. The same is true of medical textbooks and medical research. I’m headed to a radiology conference next weekend just to learn more about current brain scanning technologies. There is so much to learn, and it all fits with the Bible.

I’ve been withdrawing from public sharing as I have no reason to convince others. It’s about to hit the fan big time and I must step out and rise above it. Most people are about to experience despair beyond their imagination.

As it relates to the interpretation of Hebrews 9:27, I have zero doubt of my understanding as I not only experienced it multiple times in my own death, but every since the consciousness of others and the contents of their souls became physical to me, I see and know the memories people experience in their life review after death, just by them being near me. I feel their traumas, abortions, affairs, and emotional pain from loss. These are the same stored memories people become aware of when they die.

Part of this awareness includes the stored memories of every incarnation a soul has ever lived. They are also part of the life review process that many call judgment. These memories are stored in the soul in reverse sequence, just beyond their conception memory. It’s easy to understand how John the Baptist was Elijah, and also why Jesus knew it and John the Baptist did not. Jesus had awakened when He was in the wilderness so this perceptionwas part of His reality.

It’s easy to understand how the blind man in John 9 could have sinned prior to his birth that might have caused his blindness. (We know that was not his cause, but easily could have.)

We are blocked from knowing these things until we awaken. This is how Jesus knew the thoughts of everyone around Him, like the woman at the well and her previous marriages.

Just as Peter could only walk on water after Jesus held his hand, anyone can do these things when Jesus is in them.

As Jesus stated in John 14, the things that He did and even more, you too shall do when He is in you. That is the truth.

I am no longer restricted to my physical body, or my five senses. I could care less if I die today as I am not this body. The hardest part of this is experiencing the physical and emotional pain of others when I am near them. I had to rise above it to survive, as by being above it I can be aware of it and not experience it. It becomes pure torture at times, like when a double amputee was near me in a restaurant and I felt his excruciating phantom leg pain. I could only make it go away by praying for him.

I’ve spent years studying neuroscience and psychiatry to better understand the human soul, and thus the Bible which is a manual for helping the soul to grow. My wife is an MD, Board certified in Neurology and Psychiatry and a medical school professor for over thirty years. We discuss and perform research to better understand this awakening process. People are not ready for the knowledge yet as they think they have all the answers and cling to them like a lucky rabbit’s foot. When they reach the depths of despair and hit bottom in their Dark-Night-of-the-Soul, then I will share publically, if the Holy Spirit so guides me. I am merely a servant, nothing more.

The proof is in the experience, not in the knowledge.

If you have ears, hear my words. If not, that is fine too. Keep studying the Bible, but more important, invite the Holy Spirit into you at all times and experience the Bible. Then you will understand my words.

I am fully aware that we are entering the rule of the anti-messiah. Just like the Covid vaccine, most will accept it willingly. The upcoming turmoil is great, but the end result is wonderful beyond words of description.

🙏

Like the Jews, especially the Pharisees, you are blind to the teachings of Jesus.

You know them intellectually, but do not experience them. You are so set on being correct, that you miss the forest for the trees.

You are so caught up in being right, and judging others as wrong that you have lost the Love in your heart. Without that Love, you will never experience Jesus being in you.

Just as Jesus stated, “My Father and I are One”, and in John 14, “My Father is in Me and I in My Father”, you will say “I am One with Jesus” and “Jesus is in me and I in Jesus.” It is an experience beyond words of description.

Without that Love, you will be unable to see and experience Jesus. He is already here. Just out of perception for those who have not awakened.

Like the servants in Matthew 13 who were asleep when satin planted the weeds, you too are asleep.

Stay with studying the Bible, but invite the Helper Spirit into you to guide you, rather than inflating your ego with the possession of your knowledge. As long as you are full of yourself, you leave no room for the Holy Spirit to enter and guide you.

I say these words with the Love that you too can experience that which you seek.

🙏

Oh yes, an elite esoterical gnostical guru, of "God’s Higher Consciousness" resorting to fallacious ad hominem due to once again being exposed as a crafty unScriptural teacher, mixing truth with deception.

May God grant you “repentance to the acknowledging of the truth.” (2 Timothy 2:25)

"The proof is in the experience"

You're guiding?Guided imagery?

"If you have ears, hear my words. If not, that is fine too.

Serious? Your words or Jesus?

Then you will understand my words".

I'm concerned you believe you have more spiritual access to Jesus and sound more like a new age diviner/medium than a mere disciple of Jesus who shares without secret mysteries.

I think you are right sir. I keep saying, though I am not 100% sure, but this so called “higher level of consciousness,” is in reference to the opening of the 3rd eye. Who knows for sure? Probably new age.

You’re quite correct in your assessment.

What you are observing is demonically fueled deception to a level rarely seen. Adding Jesus as a window dressing to try to validate spiritual poison does not change a thing.

Eastern mysticism is eastern mysticism no matter how much someone tries to disguise it as Christian to give themselves credibility.

If you don’t have the Holy Spirit, then you don’t have access to Jesus.

Just watch as things unfold. You will remember my words.

Metmom is like a Pharisitic Jew and has doubt greater than Thomas. I will smile when she awakens to the truth.

“Eastern mysticism is eastern mysticism no matter how much someone tries to disguise it as Christian to give themselves credibility.”

The human soul is the same, no matter a person’s race, ethnic origin, or religious beliefs.

Religion(s) are theories and philosophies about the anatomy and physiology of the human soul and how it interacts with its environment. They are for the most part correct, but incomplete. There is a higher level of understanding where they are all in agreement without discounting any one of them individually.

When you awaken and transcend self, the soul and its consciousness becomes physical to your perception. Science, and the laws of science apply when you can directly observe the contents of the soul. Jesus’s teachings are not discounted at all. They become very obvious when directly observed and experienced.

If you follow the teachings of Jesus and experience His teachings, you will awaken. If not, you stay asleep and join the wedding guests who ran out of lamp oil.

Very true when I observe your cold hearted attacks. Feel your body’s response to these words. That is not the Holy Spirit in you. That is your ego trying to defend itself. The same ego that Jesus states must be diminished in order for Him to enter you.

You own your religious knowledge as a possession and wear it with pride as your identity. That bubble will burst if you draw nearer to Jesus. When you are full of yourself, you have no room for Him.

You need to quit mind reading and making false accusations.

Jesus I believe.

You I don’t.

It’s clear by the words that you yourself relate that you are heavily into eastern mysticism and demonic activity. Your own accounts that you relate and the abilities that you claim you have attest to that. Nobody is having to guess at anything when you admit you are into unchristian spiritism yourself.

I don’t doubt you really believe you can do these things, but they are most certainly are not of God and you have less than no Scripture support for any of it.

Adding Jesus to some of it does not mean it’s of God nor make it Christian.

As I read and am told we as disciples are to help one another along the path and point to who Jesus is. Not lift ourselves as a person who has great wisdom only given to us. The Holy Spirit is a free gift to all.

Possibly you received some personal revelation from Jesus to share? As long as it’s scriptural and as long as it can be backed by scripture else possibly keep this to yourself?

My concern is you’re being led astray and trying to lead others astray with doctrines not biblically sound.

Matthew 24:4, Jesus said take heed that no man deceive you. If one takes even a small amount of time, studying doctrine, one can easily spot new age gurus. But then again, new age, is not new. It is as old as the hills. I am not buying it, and neither are any of you. I got no time for it.

Is it wrong to call out questionable doctrine especially personal secret prophecies awaiting the new mystery? The new improved Holy Spirit Jesus?

Sounds like a harbinger of false doctrine from the angel of light.

You fools...

Luke 17

The Coming of the Kingdom of God

20 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, 21 nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is within you.

Until you understand these words and experience them, you will never see and experience Jesus no matter how much you read and study the Bible.

The Bible is teaching you how to do this, but instead you keep reading and studying the Bible, but never put it into practice.

You are like a person who reads about how to swim, but never gets in the water. You say Jesus is my Savior, as though He is a lifeguard, rescuing you from drowning.

Which would you sooner have, a lifeguard that teaches you how to swim, or a lifeguard who waits until you are drowning and then plucks you out.

Jesus was a rabbi, a teacher. He taught you how to do the things that He does and even more. Yet you are not doing any of these things. You hypocrites.

I am not seeking followers, nor do I choose to rescue anyone. I merely point you toward Jesus.

The things that I have stated above and far more, I do in Jesus’s name, with His Spirit within me. I have nothing to prove to man, as my reward and home is in Heaven. Having gone there already, I have no doubt it is my home.

He does not know you. Just as many Jews used His name to cast out spirits, but He did not know them, He does not know you.

The time will soon arrive when you will cry in great despair. I pray that at that time you find Him. But you will only find Him by going within yourself. Unless you understand these words and experience dying daily of self, you will never find Him.

I will not post again on this subject as I do not want to waste my time on hypocrites.

I’ve met Jesus in Heaven, and Our Father. Through the Holy Spirit, I commune with them daily. Unless you raise up, you will go through the motions and never grow nearer Him.

I will pray for all of you, that in the depths of your sorrow, you remember these words and surrender within.

🙏🙏🙏
