“When they’re used together, they reveal the hidden truths behind the written truth so that all is revealed.”
New Age gobbledygook. The Spirit doesn’t lead one to truth alien to THE Truth. Jesus spoke in parables in part as a judgment, but He has spoken plainly to us by the Spirit. It is the GOSPEL that is veiled to those who are perishing.
This includes false teachers who promote another Gospel that appeals to PRIDE and a desire to be a possessor of secret knowledge. Poor misunderstood us, we had no choice but to listen to the Light, we were scared at first (clue!) but over time we accepted it.
Straight talk: Your enamoring of Vassula Ryden is a testimony of poor discernment, not enlightenment. Sorry if that seems mean, but you are already carried away and seemingly impervious to correction (circling the wagons). Your choice, but since this is a free forum I’m gonna throw in my two cents worth in the hopes that you’ll just say NO to the offerings in the “side menu-within-a-menu”.
That said, thanks for inspiring me to pick up my guitar!
Thanks for trying, you two.
People need to be warned about this stuff.
Some will listen, some won’t but would rather have their ears tickled and follow experience than the word of God.
The material, otoh, isn't mine, just something I've found that has motivated me to read and study Scripture more than anything else has in my life to date.
That is my experience and I offer them both for that reason. Given the times, I take the warnings written in TLIG very seriously. He ain't kidding around. About this time of Grace or about what follows.
Thanks for the advice and no offense taken, no matter how intended. I assume that all is meant for my good and vice versa is true from me. It's a very high level good to pray for each other's understanding, grace and forgiveness, even more so than for our own.
Besides, from what I've learned early in these Purgatory discussions a believer is forgiven no matter what, right? So...why worry? I absolutely BELIEVE in the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
You're welcome about the guitar!
