And there’s something darker about this that people avoid like the plague. I certainly don’t know how to say it without getting banned forever plus a day. I can only write like I talk and I talk plainly. So, I understand the reluctance of others to even “go there” because I myself can’t figure out how to do it either.
In other words, there’s another trio that uses the same exact names but not in the way you think. That’s brutal. And that’s the problem. But there it is.
I get the feeling that a lot of people are trying desperately to point to it, but run up on the same problem I mentioned.
Satan could never get a soul if he were truthful and if he showed himself as he really is. He can only get souls by mangling the Word of God and by misrepresentation.
I wish I could express it better.
He takes what is true. The absolute truth of God. He uses the truth of God to gain souls. It’s the little bit of subtle twisting of Scripture that gives him a score.
Satan cannot fool a heart that is radiating Love except by getting the person to switch to their intellect and create division by arguing circular logic.
The Bible is truly the word of God, but it is also very logical and scientific to those who seek to understand with open hearts.
If anyone says “follow me” do not listen. As true teachers will only direct you to look within yourself to find and experience Jesus.
A cover tune is just not as good as when it's when played by the original artist, right?
I feel that, believe me, I do.
However, again, just my opinion, but personally I've been listening to this band for a few years now and have almost heard the entire album set.
My ear is not great, but it's getting better and I think I'm listening to the original band.
Not only that, when I play the same stuff on my guitar, the music sounds so much better than I am as a player that it makes even me sound good!
(That's a miracle according to anyone who knows me and has heard me play, lol.)
“He takes what is true. The absolute truth of God. He uses the truth of God to gain souls. It’s the little bit of subtle twisting of Scripture that gives him a score.”
Well said. This long thread has many textbook examples.
One theme that deceived persons ply is to cloak themselves in gentility and agreement and paint a protestant (lol) as devoid of the fruit of the Spirit, argumentative, divisive. Yet their love’s a liar, not holding to the TRUTH.
The Spirit of God is the Spirit of TRUTH! He doesn’t “come in by another way” such as the occult New Age and its channeled messages. Vassula Ryden is the topic of these latests post but pick your poison...false teachers preaching ANOTHER JESUS and A DIFFERENT GOSPEL are growing exponentially.
Oh, they’re all so nice and reasonable. That mean ole John said don’t even bid them godspeed. Where’s his LOVE? Or for that matter, Paul’s:
“Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them. For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.”—Romans 16:17-18
Satan knows Scripture, and uses it skillfully to draw us AWAY into the fantastic instead of the long haul of FAITH WITHOUT SEEING (which God highly commends).
