Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

LOTS of “Christians”
have a genetic or at least visceral AVERSION
to the whole idea that God can speak to us directly in this era. They
break out in hives,
appoplexy,
frenetic rants,
hyperventilated rages,
playing pogo-stick on their pointed heads;
flail about like a disentigrating whirling dervishes;
descend in death spirals of despairing pontifications;
. . .
. . .
Lots of folks DON’T EVEN WANT TO CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY THAT GOD MIGHT SPEAK POINTEDLY INTO THEIR LIVES by a donkey or any other means.
Much better to leave all THAT packed safely away in some tidy little box labled 70AD or some such.
Certainly the END TIMES leaves most of us less than serene on a number of fronts.
Folks who are used to . . . with a death grip . . .
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!CONTROLLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
their lives [and likely the lives for miles around—according to their imaginations] and reality [or more accurately, fantasizing that they do] can be EXTREMELY averse to remotely considering the fact that they are likely terminally WRONG.
Many vast denominations and congregations of folks have NEVER had the experience of an authentically prophetically gifted person . . . or God directly . . . breaking through their shells and READING THEIR MAIL.
AND THEY’VE NEVER HAD THE FREEDOM THAT RESULTS FROM RESPONDING TO GOD’S COMMUNICATIONS THUSLY IN REDEMPTIVE WAYS.
AND IF THEY HAVE THEIR WAY, THEY AREN’T ABOUT TO START!
However, I Cor 12-14 is SCRIPTURE . . . though ripped out of most Bibles in most Denominations.
Even most Pentecostal/Charismatic denominations and congregations fall far short of living those chapters out as written.
Quakers, Methodists, . . . a number of now thoroughly polluted groups used to have Holy Spirit move and speak routinely in their meetings. Now such histories seem to be quaint embarrassments to them, if the admit them at all.
God is going to change all that. He’s going to take a big stick and stir the “Christian” pot real good; shake it up and down vigorously and pour it all out on some very hot coals. What survives will be a LOT better.
What doesn’t survive will be gone, very gone, forever.
And lots of “Christians” will have discovered they weren’t anything close.
What a silly notion.
Obviously a bit of ‘wisdom’ from the slug burps of the annals of the REPLACEMENTARIAN et al perspective.
DIDN’T HAPPEN.
Though from the group that’s turned
Mary into the 4th person of the Trinity,
that’s rich.
No, an analogy.
It’s not really that hard, Judith. Not by a long shot.
It’s not always easy. But it’s not that hard.

Well, it’s easy to see who’s doing THAT around here. I’m just asking questions, making links, and commenting.
So far, there aren’t any posts in color, three inches high, but I can tell you it isn’t the Catholics who get all hysterical and post purple prose in giant letters.
So, we're not talking with/to a prophet, just another blog flogger sneaking his self-published book advertisements into the religion forum.
Fine with me.
It would explain a lot if the author were not a native user of English, but writing in a foreign language and using Babelfish to translate.
Amen!

So then you’ll certainly be judged for the blasphemies I have pointed out, just as I’ll be judged for pointing them out.
Cool.
I’m sure if you want me to read it, it’s got to be negative and against what I believe.
Heh. I find that difficult to believe. :)
Well, yes. But afterward, I used a good eyewash/disinfectant.
Speaking of colors, our chameleon arrived in the mail this morning. Cute little thing, about 4” long, with bulging eyes.
I can’t believe Catholics on this post are so ignorant of hearing from God. Cheez.
Just read it. It can’t be that difficult, Mr. R.
My name is on my priests as a placard upon their foreheads and I shall not be defamed ! Therefore now I shall work my outstretched arm over the nations to perform this " My Will ", for The Father has said "This is my Son in whom I am well pleased !" .
The references in the first person in these lines (except for the final quote) are to Jeff Kingshott. Here is what he said:
Jeff Kingshott's name is on his priests as a placard upon their foreheads and Jeff Kingshott shall not be defamed ! Therefore now Jeff Kingshott shall work his outstretched arm over the nations to perform this " Jeff Kingshott's Will ", for The Father has said "This is my Son in whom I am well pleased !" .
Blasphemy of the highest order.
Not nice, Mr. Rogers.
OH DEAR!
ANOTHER
ROQQ???
Sounds pretty subversive, to me.
LOL.
Thanks for your kind words.
