THE OFFICE OF PROPHET IS ABOUT TO RETURN TO THE CHURCH BODY WORLDWIDE !
The Office of Prophet is about to return , This is not from a person but from a yearn ,
From the calling of many for my voice to speak out ,
True guidance directly into My House ,
For many confusion has been the stage ,
But now I will speak both in grace and in rage ,
For judgement is here in My house ,
Holiness received and strange fire cast out ,
The true and faithful shall remain and be renewed ,
But the false and counterfeit burned to sinew ,
No longer will I permit the spirit of the harlot Jezebel ,
I shall cast this cup into hell ,
So come My Children and drink from The Cup of The Lord ,
Open your mouths and speak ! Pick up your Sword !
For I AM about to reveal all that is TRUE !
Through My Prophets I speak "First" to !
Amos 3:7-8
7Surely the Lord God will do nothing without revealing His secret to His servants the prophets.
8The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken; who can but prophesy?
Ephesians 3:5
5 God did not reveal it to previous generations, but now by his Spirit he has revealed it to his holy apostles and prophets.
Hosea 12:10
10 I sent my prophets to warn you
with many visions and parables.”
1 Thessalonians 5:20-21
20Do not spurn the gifts and utterances of the prophets [do not depreciate prophetic revelations nor despise inspired instruction or exhortation or warning].
21But test and prove all things [until you can recognize] what is good; [to that] hold fast.
1 Timothy 4:14
14Do not neglect the gift which is in you, [that special inward endowment] which was directly imparted to you [by the Holy Spirit] by prophetic utterance when the elders laid their hands upon you [at your ordination].
1 Corinthians 10:20-24
20No, I am suggesting that what the pagans sacrifice they offer [in effect] to demons (to evil spiritual powers) and not to God [at all]. I do not want you to fellowship and be partners with diabolical spirits [by eating at their feasts].
21You cannot drink the Lord's cup and the demons' cup. You cannot partake of the Lord's table and the demons' table.
22Shall we thus provoke the Lord to jealousy and anger and indignation? Are we stronger than He [that we should defy Him]? 23All things are legitimate [permissible--and we are free to do anything we please], but not all things are helpful (expedient, profitable, and wholesome). All things are legitimate, but not all things are constructive [to character] and edifying [to spiritual life]. 24Let no one then seek his own good and advantage and profit, but [rather] each one of the other [let him seek the welfare of his neighbor]. Amos 5:1-15
1HEAR THIS word which I take up concerning you in lamentation, O house of Israel:
2The Virgin of Israel has fallen; she shall no more rise; she lies cast down and forsaken on her land; there is no one to raise her up. 3For thus says the Lord God: The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel.
4For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: Seek Me [inquire for and of Me and require Me as you require food] and you shall live! 5But seek not [the golden calf at] Bethel nor enter into [idolatrous] Gilgal, and pass not over to [the idols of] Beersheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity and exile, and Bethel [house of God] shall become Beth-aven [house of vanity, emptiness, falsity, and futility] and come to nothing. 6Seek the Lord [inquire for and of Him and require Him] and you shall live, lest He rush down like fire upon the house of Joseph [representing the ten tribes] and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel [the center of their idol hopes]. 7You who turn justice into [the bitterness of] wormwood and cast righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God) down to the ground, 8Seek Him Who made the [cluster of stars called] Pleiades and [the constellation] Orion, Who turns the shadow of death or deep darkness into the morning and darkens the day into night, Who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out upon the face of the earth--the Lord is His name-- 9Who causes sudden destruction to flash forth upon the strong so that destruction comes upon the fortress. 10They hate him who reproves in the [city] gate [holding him as an abomination and rejecting his rebuke], and they abhor him who speaks uprightly. 11Therefore because you tread upon the poor and take from him exactions of wheat, you have built houses of hewn stone, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine. 12For I know how manifold are your transgressions and how mighty are your sins--you who afflict the [uncompromisingly] righteous, who take a bribe, and who turn aside the needy in the [court of the city] gate from their right.
13Therefore he who is prudent will keep silence in such a time, for it is an evil time. 14Seek (inquire for and require) good and not evil that you may live, and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you have said.
15Hate the evil and love the good and establish justice in the [court of the city's] gate. It may be that the Lord, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph [the northern kingdom].
We have the 'full truth' in whatever God has determined we need to know in this world Mark....He gave it to us thru His son..."And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us"... All truth is in and of Christ and His words He left us with.
As I have stated before...when catholics stop looking for what's not there and focus instead at what IS there the Lord God has given,... then some advance might be made in how we might agree....but as long as catholics keep on looking for what's not there then they cannot hardly address what's been given...it distracts from the truth rather than enhances it.
I'm stating this again because it is so prevelant when you and others respond....it's a pattern seen often and used to evade what's there before them.
So do you believe God's Word is your Final Authority Mark or not?
Yep..and that's the bottom line..."The Word became flesh and dwelt among us"
Don't know why half the post got dropped off before...but has happened before. Thinking FR gets hick-ups on occassion!
If people couch their positions in ambiguous statements, then I prefer to clarify my answer to a position that is more clearly defined.

Let us see you jettison the words of Peter, Paul, Jude and John if what you say is true.

We have the truth of Christ. We need no reforming.

I believe that God is the Final Authority. You say Word. Do you mean Jesus? You see, anything can mean anything when outside of the Church. I've had a number of antiCatholics sneeringly inform me that the Word is the Bible, for instance.
Then why not simply state you need clarity from the poster rather than you beating around the bush?.. Had you asked the the poster what they ment by 'the Word' it would have supported your effort to "clarify your response, but that does not seem to me what your intentions were...as mentioned prior in my post...rather distancing from the statement.
<Let us see you jettison the words of Peter, Paul, Jude and John if what you say is true.
... Why?...This is not a hard reading to understand...("And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us")......The entire first chapter of John makes it quite clear the scriptures are speaking of Christ.....
"In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. ...'HE' was with God in the beginning."....Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made."......"In Him was "life" and that life was the light of men."....The light shines in the darkness but the darkness has not understood it."........to all who received him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to be become children of God"---children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God."
...In other words Jesus is the Gospel. ...Jesus is Gods promise. He is God both speaking his word and keeping his word. ......and so what I have stated surely is true and the scriptures clearly attest to that as stated here.
We have the truth of Christ. We need no reforming.
Who said you needed reforming? I didn't. But I would have no problem saying it would be a good thing for most to leave the catholic church as it gives no indication it's going to promote Jesus Christ first and foremost above all the "other stuff" they promote above Him.
Now maybe you don't do that but many do Mark...you seem at times to be on a different page then others who practice Catholicism...however your tag does attest to where your devotion lays.

Look at the poster and the content of the post.
...In other words Jesus is the Gospel. ...Jesus is Gods promise. He is God both speaking his word and keeping his word. ......and so what I have stated surely is true and the scriptures clearly attest to that as stated here.
Negative. Jesus is NOT the Gospel. Jesus is the Word of God (Logos). The Gospels are the words of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John (through however many translations) that attempt to write the Word of God into the word of God. We believe that the Gospels are the highest point of revelation to man, since God Himself Incarnated as a man and spent His time on earth teaching and Creating His Church.
Now maybe you don't do that but many do Mark...you seem at times to be on a different page then others who practice Catholicism...however your tag does attest to where your devotion lays.
Thank you; I will take this as a compliment. But never forget that I as a Christian stand on the shoulders of theological giants. My tagline comes from St. Augustine, a theological giant and defender of the Church. He not only believed it; he used it effectively to battle the heretics and apostates.
Put your analyst on danger money, baby.
I'm Holy Spirit filled
You may need a team.
and I don't analyze God's Word,
Stream of consciousness Christianity. Just what Jesus taught.
I believe it. Jesus said '...Just believe'.
He also taught what to believe. He didn't say to make it all up as you go along.
They why do catholics believe man made teachings? They bow to 'man' and snub the Words of the ONLY one with Truth, JESUS. That does not end well.
Pulling snippets and phrases from the Bible does a Christian make. We bow to God and venerate the words of Jesus (the Gospels) above the rest of the Bible. We are repeatedly excoriated by ersatz Christians for doing so.
As Christians, our end is with Christ. We will face Him, the Ultimate Judge and have no hocus pocus or fairy tale magic that will explain that away. You may wish to turn your attention on those who pretend differently. We will take our lives before Him and He will Judge. Pure and simple and unadorned.
Christians pray for His Mercy. Ersatz Christians self declare their own salvation.
Christians look to God's Word ALONE for Truth - all others look to man for truth.
