Ignoring the intellectual or scholarly approach to understanding ultimate truth is simply not allowing oneself to be fooled by what is falsely called knowledge.

All who wish to approach our Father as an intellectual or scholar may do so, but I tell you now, He cannot be impressed by such arrogance.

Unless we turn and become as a child we cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.
God given intellect in us is for His Glory, so that we may believe His Word and Born-Again by the Spirit thru Faith.

The intellect of man on his best day could never make do for what the Spirit brings to LIGHT.

"No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me."

People on the spectrum do not lack all control.

WE control things we can control . but thinking we can control other things is like a boy thinking he can give birth without a womb. it is Gods miracles to make the change and creat taht new mind and new heart

why because i have no idea how to posdt as well as everyone else. sorry. i am not here to argue or debate my beliefs but i post without thinking and just say thigns

i guess that means i have to be beaten down and shown how stupid i am

WEll thanks i been on this forum for a few days now and feel so depressed and low i am not sure what i am going to do
i came seeking friends but i have no idea how to post frirnedly little posts that attract people

my faultk i know, i am stupid and totally ineppt
Do not go - i am terrible with posting well thought sentences myself.

We are not against you - internet chat can be brutal and easily misses out on the actual love in our hearts.

My limited brain often miscues with my true intention and i have to remind myself of this often.
Peace

thanks . but seems my thought processes are different to everoyne elses. so by majority i must be wrong

I need to find some like minded people and hope to make friends.

I dont need people continually pointing out my mistakes. i need fellowship

I am sure someone will now post scripture to say it their role to point out my errors and that they only doing it in love

sadly LOVE that is not felt by the receiver is not the love i am looking for.
I know God loves me as his actions proved it.

The accuser or Satan is able to come to God in Job to throw Job under the bus. Yet we're told no one can see the face of God and live. Does that mean Satan is dead or does it only apply to flesh? How did Satan face God in Job? Or did he not see his face?

Any thoughts on this?

When we are told in Scripture, that no one can see God and survive - we must understand the differences between seeing God and seeing God.

No created being can see God - absolutely considered - in all His Glory and survive. His Holy Purity and Perfection would not allow it. Everyone who has seen Him, has seen Him in some form. We see the Father by looking upon the Son. Isaiah saw the Lord in the Throne room. As such, he saw the Lord as King. His authority is given to us in the descriptions of Isaiah 6:1. His train filled the throne room. Moses saw God from the be-hinder parts and Lucifer had access to the Throne Room but none saw God absolutely considered.

Wow. You do that to yourself. Thing is, none of us are worthy. We have all made mistakes.

Revelation ch 2 and the rest of Revelation does indeed speak of satan's working in the churches and in the world.
Totally IRRELEVANT in the matter of the book of Job. What might have been relevant is found in Zechariah 3:1,2.

YEP - i can SEE that - Thank You

How is this "IRRELEVANT" = Revelation chapter 2

I know your affliction and your poverty—though you are rich! And I am aware of the slander of those who falsely claim to be Jews, but are in fact a synagogue of Satan.
Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Look, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will suffer tribulation for ten days. Be faithful even unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.

This is TOTALLY RELEVANT to our Brethren throughout the world who are facing this tribulation even now as we speak.
AND
It is TOTALLY RELEVANT to our LORD Jesus Christ

I am sure I can be off on the time but he (Satan) yes could and would with other angels come before God.. yet Christ said saw him as lightening cast out of heaven. I say time since we know Satan is always accusing us to the Father. I think Magenta was saying which I agree on is its man that has never seen Gods face. Man "and He said: 'Thou canst not see My face, for man shall not see Me and live.' "
