***Are you listening to yourself?***
Are you listening to the folks that feed the delusions of the mentally ill rather than helping them? Are you listening to the folks that play at feeding the hungry and then pat themselves on the back? Are you listening to the folks that encourage heresy and apostacy simply because it appeals to their own emotions?
Are you listening to the folks that would happily let J-d live through all of his demons for their own amusement?
Spiritual Development is my chief focus and since September, Jedediah has helped light my path.
***I don’t just know about Jesus Christ from the Bible but have and intimate relationship with Him ***
I thought that the Swedenborgians have sojourned past Jesus, so that the Bible is relatively unnecessary.
***The Lord has shown me that I can make mincemeat out of a fool and his words. And here, I get to ponder where and when to strike. Shoot your mouth off, expect a nuke.***
Thanks for the warning. Do you get to speak as God these days or have you relinquished that task to others?
***I’m finding that in the last few days, with the Bible open next to my keyboard and my journals and notebooks handy, I have my new office layout complete and am ready to report for work.***
You mean that you don’t have a real job?
***Believe me, if you are acting the fool, best be prepared for humiliation.***
Good advice. How well do you take it?
You are misinformed. From True Christian Religion #3:
The particular details of faith on man's part are:
1 God is one, in whom is the Divine Trinity, and He is the Lord God the Saviour Jesus Christ.
2 Faith leading to salvation is believing in Him.
3 Evil actions must not be done because they are the work of the devil and come from him.
4 Good actions must be done because they are the work of God and come from Him.
5 A person must perform these actions as if they were his own, but he must believe they come from the Lord working in him and through him.
The first two points deal with faith, the second two with charity; and the fifth deals with the joining of charity with faith and thus of the Lord with men.
This is a picture of the Bryn Athyn Cathedral Chancel:
You will note the Word is front and center and represents the Lord present when opened. The Word is surrounded by seven golden lampstands (Rev 1:12). We understand that meditationg and reading the Word is talking with the Lord. I personally consider a lolcatz translation of the Word the highest blasphemy.
Thanks for the warning. Do you get to speak as God these days or have you relinquished that task to others?
I'm unclear -- perhaps you can link a post or two so I can clarify something specific.
You mean that you dont have a real job?
After leaving Rohm and Haas Company in 2004 retired on disability (I use a wheelchair), I began studying for the ministry. I studied Swedenborg's 30 volumes of theological Writings and applied them to my life experience. This process transformed me into a very pious and holy person. I serve the kingdom of God, the highest use.
How well do you take it?
Humiliation of the ego is how the Lord enters a soul. I was very prideful, thinking and believing I knew it all when in fact I knew nothing. I don't jump on every 'attack' now without consideration of what is being said.
Even if that were so, what help are you? There is no brotherly love. There is no "reaching out" going on. There is not even an honest argument here. Just an "Animal House" atmosphere that is so spiteful and moronic that it would put John Belushi to shame.
Are you listening to the folks that play at feeding the hungry and then pat themselves on the back?
The back-patting I see is among the most vicious and back-biting folks I have ever witnessed! This is not of Christ, EVEN if there were cause. Few among you all voice a coherent argument. This is sophomoric jeering... Including yourself. And of you, especially, I have come to expect more. You have always been staunch in your beliefs, and sharp in wit, but usually your daggers are well placed, and with reasoning. It seems my expectations may have been misplaced.
Are you listening to the folks that encourage heresy and apostacy simply because it appeals to their own emotions?
Emotions? The emotion I see here is coming out of your camp. Anger. Hate. False witness. False accusation. Derision and ridicule at the expense of others, and without cause.
What heresy? What apostasy? Either he IS a prophet, or he is not. If he is not, time is not on his side.
There has never been a cogent argument put forward against Jedediah. There has only been hostility and rank accusation. The concerted efforts of his detractors, from the very beginning, have been to utterly crush him, and nothing else.
And God help any who might defend him, because they will be crushed just as mercilessly.
It is shameful.
I have pointedly refrained from defending the man, preferring to defend the office, and the power of God instead - That which I KNOW to be true. But none wish to debate. None can offer up evidence. All that persists is cacophony, and this cruel and ignominious diatribe.
The pillow picture was, to me, the most amazing thing: He jumped on the bed, tunnelled under the duvet, turned around, put his head on the pillow and went to sleep very quickly.
The lying on the back is his fiendish trick. He lies on the back until you pet his tummy. Then he slashes you to ribbons. Then he lies on his back again and if you don't come to pet his tummy he meows.
I tihnk he haz issyooz.
Excellent points.
Of course Redemption is through the Blood of Jesus alone.
Beyond that, I found your post full of false witness.
BLESSED BE THE NAME AND WAYS OF THE LORD.
I’d like a double cheeseburger with guacamole and mayo, a small order of spicy fries, large ice tea unsweetened. Extra napkins and a couple of packages of salt please.
Keep eyes and ears open -- it is devil's night 2009.
Speaking as God, in the first person.
Kingshott deserves all the rebuke we can heap on him and his shabby communiques.
It seems you missed them, or couldn't recognize them.
Nonsense. He "spoke as God, and/or Christ, in the first person" in a literary sense, and everyone here knows it. He never once declared himself to BE God (which he is being accused of, directly, by you, among others).
Isaiah used the same literary device - Yet you do not shout blasphemy about him... Jeremiah... Pick any prophet. Many, if not all, used the same device.
So fear not my children for I am your Aaron yeah your priest standing in the midst of you as your saving grace and I shall deliver you from their ways as my incense of Unity unites only those true of heart to the Fathers ways and trust in the knowing I Am The Lord of Hosts , King of kings and Lord of lords El Shadai .Source.
Isaiah used the same literary device - Yet you do not shout blasphemy about him...
You're comparing Isaiah and Jeff Kingshott?
Really?
You'll forgive me if I didn't thumb through every single post... The level of vitriol, as I said, was high from the very beginning.
What I did see had more to do with his command of the language and the fact that he is from the street, and that his prophesying seems to have no sense to some.
I have seen very little in the way of critical review... surely I haven't missed them ALL.
I think God has used the rabid cliques
to demonstrate fierce VENOM, self-righteousness, arrogance, smugness, haughtiness, vengeance, rebellion, in-group vs out-group hatreds, violence of heart, murder in the heart, blood lust, self-indulgence, vain-glory, lying, rabidly reactionary contrary spirit, fault-finding spirit, idolatrously argumentative, compulsively spiteful, loud ignorance, sadistic, satanic levels and types of mockery, mob-dog-piling mentality, etc. in all their fierce ugliness.
I love Jed. I believe him to be an anointed prophet of significant loving effective impact in a variety of contexts God leads him into. It remains to be seen what his impact hereon will be. I do not at all believe that God will allow his words to fall to the ground useless by a long shot.
I think one of the uses God has made of Jed and to some degree of me even over the years hereon . . . as He often has of me in a lot of different contexts . . . is to surface lots of crud.
It's now been vividly displayed. The record is clear.
The stimuli have been mostly . . . in some key ways . . . fairly inconsequential, in the natural. Yet, the venom they triggered has been off the scale.
It's been a bit like a tickle by a feather triggering a murder.
Gamaliel's wisdom could have been asserted at any of many points along the way. But NOOOOOOOOOOO! FAR BETTER TO CRUCIFY HIM! And soooooooooooooo satisfying to the flesh.
It's amazing to me . . . how few people seem to be willing to try . . . much less have any demonstrated CAPACITY to look beneath the surface.
Sure enough, the more saintly I know hereon have either discerned well or are silent or are waiting on The Lord to confirm or disconfirm. So, clearly, a Biblical response has been quite possible.
But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The overwhelming COMPULSIVE, REFLEXIVE persistent rush has been to TIE HIM TO THE STAKE, LIGHT THE FIRE! BURN BABY, BURN!
THIS HAS BEEN TRUE THROUGHOUT SCRIPTURE.
Have so many people called "Christian" learned so little?
Jed will be fine. God will take him to bigger and greater things if and when it suits HIM. Jed's ministry was far larger than FR long before he came by. He's got a wonderul wife and marriage; retired Navy; durable job; and still manages to have an intense impact on dozens of people he touches in daily life week by week.
In most respects, in terms of relative impacts on The Kingdom for God, most, if not all his detractors aren't worthy to sweep up his toenail clippings.
In the larger scheme of things . . . Jed is likely to become, vis a vis, FR, quickly history . . . depending.
However, the stuff in the hearts of individuals that Jed's stuff has surfaced, highlighted, THOSE PUSS POCKETS will have incredible . . . and durable impacts in the lives involved unless and until taken to The Cross for full cleansing and deliverance by the Blood and Spirit of Jesus.
The evidence is that no one is interested in deliverance. The evidence is . . . OFF WITH HIS HEAD! LIGHT THE FIRES!
I think God is kindling HIS OWN FIRES.
And the asbestos suits from Mexico will prove most inadequate.
