You are entitled to your beliefs.

There is a big difference between intellectually theorizing the Bible and experiencing Jesus.

Jesus is my Savior. He is my Savior because He lowered Himself to be born in the flesh and teach us.

Problem is, people claim Him to be their Savior and treat Him like a lifeguard that can pluck them when drowning.

Which would you sooner have, a lifeguard that rescues you, or a lifeguard that teaches you how to swim.

While Jesus can rescue us, He was teaching us how to grow. He even stated in John 14 that the things that He does and even more you too shall do in His name.

Why aren’t people doing some of these things if they are following His teachings?

I can prove what I say with hard science, evidence based medicine, and actual demonstrations. It’s easy to prove the life review process as those stored memories in their soul of life experiences are physical to me as a result of accepting Jesus and the Holy Spirit into me. It’s an easy demonstration.

The Bible is very accurate. People just stay in their intellect and practice their religion like the legalistic Pharisees, arguing about it rather than experiencing and living it.

While I stand behind everything I stated above, do not accept it unless it fits as you study and pray on the meaning of the Bible scriptures.

There is much more I did not say as people are not ready for it. The signs of the times will be your own confirmation.

🙏

There is a big difference between intellectually theorizing the Bible and experiencing Jesus.

There is a big difference between Biblically experiencing Jesus in manifest regeneration versus intellectually theorizing the Bible in order to justify their esoteric cultic experiences. As Swedenborg and the Roy Masters also did. "Swedenborg's approach to proving the veracity of his theological teachings was to use voluminous quotations from the Old Testament and the New Testament to demonstrate agreement with the Bible, and this is found throughout his theological writings."

Problem is, people claim Him to be their Savior and treat Him like a lifeguard that can pluck them when drowning. Which would you sooner have, a lifeguard that rescues you, or a lifeguard that teaches you how to swim. While Jesus can rescue us, He was teaching us how to grow. He even stated in John 14 that the things that He does and even more you too shall do in His name. Why aren’t people doing some of these things if they are following His teachings?... The Bible is very accurate. People just stay in their intellect and practice their religion like the legalistic Pharisees, arguing about it rather than experiencing and living it.

What you are arguing is that since many who claim to be Christian do not like as such, then this validates you, whose esoteric doctrine is right due to some claimed fruit, yet which implicitly denigrates those who do live effectual Christian lives as regenerate believers but whose soteriology is contrary to yours, and who thus implicitly reprove you as part of them "swimming" after being rescued. And which includes holy and fruitful servants of Christ of past revivals in great awakenings with sound doctrine and its blessed fruit, and including miracles of then and even today, by the grace of God. Not legalistic Pharisees.

I can prove what I say with hard science, evidence based medicine, and actual demonstrations. It’s easy to prove the life review process as those stored memories in their soul of life experiences are physical to me as a result of accepting Jesus and the Holy Spirit into me. It’s an easy demonstration.

So could many psychic healers who actually did heal, such as Arigo: Brazil's Surgeon of the Rusty Knife. Or you can compete with the claimed miracles of William Branham A test is what doctrinal compromise will one pay for healing. No one is saved by heat like a furnace cleansing for 3 weeks on earth to be made pure enough to be in the Light of Heaven. Etc.
