You mean, like having a mantra? Maybe Paul was referring to indulging in a taste of Hinduism?
Your false prophet/false teacher, Michael Rood, has you twisted into his works based religion. Be cause you are convinced you can earn salvation, you swallow the Florian lies. They may seem sweet to you now, but they will be the basis of bitter gall in you.
RE: I suppose that is a rhetorical question?
Not strictly. If we accept the Markian passage as inspired, the question then becomes how do we UNDERSTAND the phrase, “These signs shall accompany those who believe” seeing that we don’t see these signs Jesus enumerated accompanying those who believe today.
Skeptics will say that unless we see these signs accompanying ANYONE who say they believe, then their profession of belief contradicts what Jesus said.
(NOTE: I am not agreeing with this, just presenting what I have heard from some people ).
1John 1:
[7] Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
That’s very interesting.
Thanks for posting that.
An awful lot of religions hang a lot of doctrine on that passage.
The RC’s use it to justify their doctrine of baptism, and yet ignore the rest of what’s there, the speaking in tongues, drinking poison, snake handling, etc.
The Pentecostals use it to support the doctrine of the evidence, but choose to ignore the part about baptism and salvation.
IOW, anyone who uses that passage, picks from it what they want to support their doctrine and ignores the rest.
I dunno, but there were seventy nations at Babel. You could trace the speakers of those two dialects as see if they have origins in one of those seventy. ; )

Spring water would be the best thing to drink.
Then you might not post such nonsense.
Here we are talking about spiritual gifts, and you attack one of the servants of Yehova about whom great spiritual events keep on happening.
Everything he touches is surrounded by the power of the spirit revealing things that have been lost since Yeshua walked the Earth.

Your false teacher, Rood, has you twisting John to support the Covenant which was done away. But your blindness in Rood is so deep that you are here unable to see your lostness.
Well, I’ve sure run into enough people who are into prophesying over others.
There are times I’ve been prayed for in church and those praying were shaking and said they felt God moving through them and warmth in their hands where they were touching me.
I could feel the one woman shaking and I peeked at her and it was weird. Nor did I feel any warmth form their hands, although other people claim to feel that when God heals them..
I think the Holy Spirit has been protecting me from these spirits that someone is trying to impart on me. Cause I totally feel nothing for all their reports of feeling something.
Which is very interesting because God knows how much I want to be healed but if the healing is not coming because it’s through an ungodly source, then I get that. I would not want healing through anything that does not give God the glory, or is not of God.
Jesus IS The Word made flesh. John writes to these earliest CHRISTIANS, to refer them nack to what they received from the beginning. But your Roodian blindness sees the old covenant and blurs the New Covenant in His Blood. As they say around this neck of the Appalachians, 'keep working for it son, Hell ain't half full.'
The shaking stuff is worrisome, and, I believe, supernatural in origin.
Satan desires that we disobey God and the Word at all times.
The Word tells us not to “tolerate” that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess.
So what this means is, we are not to come into agreement with anyone in the NAR, because toleration means a passive agreement.
And that is the point of prayer... you are “agreeing” with the people you are praying with.
I’d advise that you not tolerate those whom you know are under a false teaching or false system of prophesy; nonetheless it is the Lord who does the healing. He just does not want any other satanic entity to get the glory; He is a jealous God and will have no other gods before Him.
So do not allow people whom you do not know to lay hands on you, or to pray with you, or to pray for you. You have no idea the cunning I’ve seen in this arena.
Ask the Lord for discernment, and discernment of spirits. He will give it to you. GBU.

The new covenant is the old covenant sealed in sinless blood.
As Jeremiah made plain, the covenant remains with the two houses of Israel, not some imaginary ‘church.’

>> “ the Covenant which was done away.” <<
Satanic blasphemy.

Regarding this passage that certain theorists disclaim, largely it is because of shortsightedness in declaring some language to be plain-literal rather than figurative-literal. I have no problem with a figurative-literal interpretation of verses 17 and 18, but it may take a little knowledge of the hermeneutics--science of interpretation--to appreciate the difference. What confuses one is that there are Biblical instances where the passage is about a literal incident, such as Paul being bitten by an asp, as well as the many cases throughout the OT and the NT where the Holy Spirit has come upon a person or upon a group, with external visible manifestation of uttering languages a person was not previously familiar with, and/or magnifying The God (prophesying); the occasion given as the sign of an authentic operation of the Spirit to be noted and studied for doctrine. The Jews must have a sign, but the Greek verification demands a logical clear explanation (examples: Acts 19:6,11+;1 Cor. 1:22). This is well-covered in the doctrinal epistle to the dispersed Jews:
Hebrews 2:3-4 AV (compare Mk. 16:20):
3 "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken
by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
4God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles,
and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?"
This passage only refers to times previous to the moment in which it was written.
Do not be alarmed about the Markian passage. Some merely want to make it questionable as an inverted way to gain acceptance of the theory that the autographs were conflated by subsequent generation of copiers, thus casting doubt upon the Byzantine/Majority Textform to seduce supposed (prideful) "scholars" for the "older-is-better" but corrupted Alexandrian tradition.
I have no confidence in the opinions of those who would eliminate Mark 16:9-20, and am very suspicious about anything else they touch (which includes most of the "modern" versions and their proponents).
Children, it is the last hour; and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they did not belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But their departure made it clear that none of them belonged to us. You, however, have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. (I John 2:18-20)
Going to a "Christian" church, calling oneself a Christian, checking a box on a form that asks "Religion?" with Christian, doesn't make one a Christian.
I've often thought about what language we will speak in heaven. Maybe we won't need words, our voice, our languages? Whatever this "heavenly" language is, I don't think it is whatever "tongues" language is being done in Charismatic circles. THAT kind, Scripture tells us WILL cease.
I've been on for over ten years and I HAVE seen many times where people give you legitimate and logical reasons for what you say you are looking for. Perhaps the real issue is you don't WANT to accept what has been proven? Jesus IS the promised Messiah. We would not have been able to recognize him without Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.

Did you mean Henry Gruver?
The wall writer in Daniel 5 used language, written language, to convey a message, a judgment. An interesting aside is, UFO crashes reveal hieroglyphs on and in the crafts.
