Sunday Dispatch.666 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. ~1 John 4:1-3 (New International Version) Test god! Don't test god!

xtify Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 What about this: Luke 8:27-28: When Jesus had stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he had not lived in a house but among the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and said with a loud voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.” This is a direct contradiction. The demons in this man recognised and declared Jesus as the son of god. What do you make of that Ironhorse?

Roz Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Note that the test isn't anything verifiable. Its only test is: "every sprit that jesus came in the flesh is from god, but every spirit that does not is not from god." 1. A man claims he's received a vision from jesus, and he acknowledges that jesus came in the flesh. The vision told him to shoot a bunch of people at a movie theater. 2. Another man claims he's received a vision from Allah, and he does not acknowledge that jesus was god. The vision told him to give his wealth to the poor when he dies. According to IH's test, 1 must be valid because it passed the test. I say both are invalid, but man 2's intentions were good because it would benefit mankind rather than harm it.

A good portion of the BS I was fed in church I thought was ridiculous. I saw how it made a gullible fool of my then wife which spilled into other areas of her life (she would believe anything door to door sales people would tell her). Though Christianity infected me enough to feel some guilt and fear after a decade of 'service' to Christ. My deconversion wasnt devastating like others here... more like getting rid of a chronic infection. Do you have your own thoughts or doubts about Jesus that you are willing to share? If people are here on this board I doubt posting bible verses is going to bring them back to Jesus. We're all aware of the bible and what's in it. Do you sit around with your friends spewing bible verses? Or do you talk about what's happening in your life? Are you a human being with something to say? Do you have your own opinion on things? Or are you just a Yes Man for Jesus? I admit, robots for Christ are fun to debate but don't you ever get tired of praising something that is never really self evident? Doesn't it ever get annoying that you have to continually tell yourself over and over all the time that Jesus is real? I have reached my 50s and through the years have come to a place where I know it can be a good thing to kiss some butt, but daily praise of something that never ever shows itself is beyond my comprehension. Ok, carry on with your mission, sir. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duderonomy Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Prof, I'm sure IH will just invoke Acts 8:9-24/19:13, or Mark 9:38, or some other verse to show how you can't use the name of Jesus to keep him away. Verily I say unto thee, this kind (Ironhorse) cometh not out but by ignoring and not feeding. Not that I'm helping to get rid of him, much to my chagrin.

Aggie Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 IH, Interesting clip and the Herbert quote is true I think-- teachers are very important, but fathers much more so in the development of children. Thank goodness that the world is not ruled by Yahweh. An indifferent universe is far better than one than the God(s?) of Scripture who often descend to the depths of hatred and malevolence towards their children. Do I exaggerate? Perhaps you'll recall Deut 27-28 where the Heavenly Father threatens a horrific litany of curses and torments for Israel including: disaster, panic, fiery heat, drought, blight, mildew, defeat in war, boils, ulcers, scurvy, itches, madness, blindness, mental confusion, locusts, worms, hunger, thirst, nakedness, exile, various diseases, fear, anxiety, despondency, and even the reduction to cannibalism of one’s own children (Deut 27-28). Not only does the Father threaten such things, but he said he would enjoy them: “the Lord will take delight in bringing to you ruin and destruction” (Deut 28:63). "No good father would want to resemble the heavenly Father" said Denis Diderot. Amen. Happy Father's Day to all out there who, Christian or no, do their best not to act like the Heavenly Father of Scripture when he's at his worst...

moanareina Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Amazing how you keep this sunday dispatch thing alive... And father's day...hm. Brings up mixed feelings. While my biological father is long dead my adopting father has not really been a father, just a provider. While I am thankful he provided for me I can't really be thankful for anything else and while I never really found that father in heaven that supposedly is the perfect one all this day does is evoke mixed feelings within me. But I want to say: Yes to all you great fathers out there. Yes to all of you who love your children and teach them to think for themselves, who support your children and be good examples. Thank you for doing your best at parenting and growing a new generation. Thank you for the love you give. And this is my sunday dispatch. It comes from the bottom of my heart. Cheers!

sdelsolray Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Ironhorse apparently sees a father and teachers as two different and conflicting influences. He has a need to determine which is "better". If that is his experience and his need, in his life, that's fine. Like all holier-than-thou and infantile proselytizers, he attempts to impose that dichotomy and competition upon everyone else. Others may look at their father and their teachers as a composite. Their father provides a certain nurturing and their teachers provide a certain nurturing, sometimes overlapping and sometimes not, sometimes healthy and sometimes not, the result being a fuller and more robust mixture of influences, guidance and lessons, the sum being greater than the parts. Of course, Ironhorse's real mission, with yet another of his shallow, hollow, vacuous, disingenuous and flat out lazy cut and pastes, is to claim his particular sky fairy is his most important influence, and to claim (with the required but hidden hubris) this must therefore be true for all others.
