Brainwashing

Yehushuan · Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2008 10:42 pm Post subject: Brainwashing

I had wanted to say that I will most likely be taking a sabbatical – a hiatus – not right away, but shortly; because in my conversations with Niall I’ve begun to realize that I no longer care about what other people believe (except for a remnant of one or two) and that’s not the spirit an apostle (think evangelist or pastor) should have.

The failure of sentience within the human race is just too overwhelming, and I have become alarmed over certain recent developments in neuroscience that have caused me to conclude that our resources are spread too thinly, and that our safeguards are no longer adequate. In other words, the pied piper takes his children underground.

However, with regards to the comment on brainwashing, I felt it meet to post the following link and see what reaction it may engender. While not precisely (if at all) fitting the parameters of “Bible Debate” I don’t frequent other forums than this one. If the moderators think is appropriate to move this thread, that’s fine by me, just try to make sure I know where it winds up (if y’all could be so kind).

What started my four month inquiry into 911. (link)

Yehu,
I think that is why Jesus tried to get away. In Ministry, I have come to places that I didn't like. It was then that I realized the need to go to the Mountains and get renewed. We will miss you down here in the valley but, we all need the mountain.

God Bless and thanks for all your work

JB

Sometimes it is better to cut one's losses and run.

The big question is, though: Will the pompons follow the cheerleader, or the cheerer?

HeKkLer,
Where in the scriptures is the Bilbe referred to as God's word. I have been looking for references that cover that thought and just can't seem to find any.

Well JB have you ever read the Old testament? The OT prophets would start by saying thus says the Lord and the following words were from God Himself. Like Moses who wrote those ten commandments from God's telling him.

Other material was written by the priests in furtherance of His rituals, still others were histories of God's people.

Only someone willingly ignorant would not understand what the word of God was.

Weren't they referred to as scriptures and not the word?

'scriptures' is just another way of saying writings. But the words are from God and about God's people. They have mostly been accepted as Holy writings nearly from the beginning of Moses time.

Hekkler,

Here we go again. If you looked at my question, you wouldn't have given me this answer.

Here is the question.

Where in the scriptures is the Bible referred to as God's word. I have been looking for references that cover that thought and just can't seem to find any.

Here is your answer.

I am not in the very least surprised. Rolling Eyes

2 Timothy 3:15-17

15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

That text doesn't adequately answer my question. That talks about Scriptures, not the word of God.

You then offer me another off the hook answer. Let's take a look.

Revelation 22:18-19

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Again this text doesn't adequately answer my question. Where does either of these texts refer to the word of God? They don't. They refer to scriptures.

Words of prophecy is different than the word of God.

Far be it from me to dissuade a discussion on what the phrase "word of God" means, but seriously -

Isn't there any response on the link I posted?

Yehu

Now now, Yehu. Laughing

You know that it is all done in love, as scripture states.

A sharp rebuke is better than hidden love. And since you plan on taking leave, I had to push you around a little, before you take off. Judas used a kiss. I throw jabs... just to let you know I'm for real. Wink

May God bless you on each path you step. Very Happy
