Not Just A Flesh Body

Once religion becomes a minority, the term atheist will no longer be necessary.
Do you realize there are over 5000 different religions in the world as each one is its own minority. Thank God He is not about man's religion.

James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
 
How far down the road are you looking? As of right now, you can still pick any of the mainstream religions and see any one of them is growing faster than the entirety of combined global left-leaning party memberships. You don't think that 2000 years and counting, just for this one particular brand to go away and it isn't, might be a bit of a pipe dream?
True but the chances of abolishing slavery looked pretty bad too, in the past. Those identifying with no religion are increasing at a huge rate in America.
Lol, three dots doesn't show anything.

I'm hardly pro slavery but pornography and sex slavery ,go hand in hand and human trafficking is a big problem in America and worse in eastern Europe.

Three rings busted in my county .
 
It seems like most people don't believe that they have a spirit. That they are a spirit. A spirit that lives inside of a flesh body. I see so many people who only identify with their body as if that is them. And that's not right. We are Spirit Beings, on house arrest in a flesh body.

Why is so hard to be able to believe in something that is unseen? The way I understand it, our reality is 10% material world that we can see and touch, and 90% spiritual world that is unseen. If you don't identify with your spirit, then your missing out on 90% of life. A few days ago there was some talk about love and someone posed the question, how could love be more than actions, or something like that. So it occurs to me that if one coud ask this question, then he same is one who is devoid of love.

Love is a spiritual thing, it has nothing to do with actions. God is love. God is a Spirit. We are spirit/soul/body. Oh, people make feeble attempts to express their love for one another with kindness or expensive gifts, but that's missing the mark. Being 'in love' with your Wife is a spiritual thing indeed. And if one does not identify with their own spirit and the spiritual world (that girl is a spirit too), then they're going to miss out on most if not all of the real love and be clueless and unsatisfied. Never really have lived.

Scripture is full of advice to look to the unseen, and believe. That man in the mirror driving the old rusty Nova is ready for new ride.

All of you who are oh I don't have a spirit, thats fairy tales, are you so caught up with what you can see and touch that you have tunnel vision so don't try to even ever focus internally, your spirit? Spirit world? Scripture says speak to the unseen and things will happen. You bet it will. The pwer of life and death are in the tongue. So go talk to your world today and test it, lol. No wonder Jesus could kill a fig tree with a word or stop a tunderstorm in it's tracks!

Yeah, it's real alright. Is that one voice in your head and you just argue with yourself all the time?! Lol. Or is it your spirit and your carnal mind arguing? Salted lightly with whisperings from the Holy Spirit...!! Job 33 says God speaks to us all the time. But we don't recognize it when He does (because you don't eve have a spirit so why try to listen?) Lol. So better pay attention.

/14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,

17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.../
I could scream no very loudly, but that would upset a lot of folks.

I once was told (if you see someone standing near rhe edge of a cliff you do not upset them and cause them to fall over the edge of the cliff).

Is it a case of the difference of someone unaware of their situation, or are you dealing with a potential jumper?

Satan says jump the angels will catch you.

The Christian says let us:
Reason together
Evaluate the situation
Look at options
Ask what spirit is trying to lead you

In the storm do you hear:
Fear
Faith

In complacency:
Are you aware of the danger of your belief?
Can you be convinced to change your position?

Now years later rhe advice has grown so very few have any idea what I am talking about.
Or
That makes some sense.

I hope to be back. His thread can go some goid directions.

Job 33 is a little tough to deal with, but Eliphaz in chapter 4 can be explained more easily.

The friends of Job did not speak what was right..

Job 4:13 kjv
13. In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
14. Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
15. Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
16 It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,
17. Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
Read following verrses

This is a spiritual experience. The only problem it is a bad spirit and not the spirit of God.

When God or an angel of God speaks it is clear.

Job has been declared as good, but this dream declares him bad.

We can have dreams from the wrong source. We must discern spirits by Gods spiritual gifts.

Later I hope to deal with chapter 33.
