    Jezebel Queen of False Prophets and the Jezebel Spirit

    The Jezebel spirit is an attitude and manner of living. Jezebel was a Baal worshipper. Baal is the god of conflict....meaning she sacrificed the prophets and Levites to Baal. Usually Ashera poles cause an influx of unwanted pregnancies and children so these unwanted babies are then...

    The word of God is not a secret code that needs unlocked.

    But in all seriouness for just a second.. The church does NOT have authority over the scriptures.... The scriptures have authority over the Church. Hopefully we can agree to this. So the resulting logic is that we do not concern ourselves with the plans God has for us on an individual...

    Forsooth, verily I say unto thee that were it not for the superfluouity naughtiness the letter to let wouldst not pervert the politic.

    I would like to find someone for a serious relationship but…

    Ok.... Caught up reading Your comments in this thread. And what I see, albeit somewhat limited.... Is that YOUR community needs you but for whatever reason you don't actually have any "works" or deeds to accompany your faith. Prayer being chief among the works and deeds lacking. Why are you...

    The word of God is not a secret code that needs unlocked.

    Reading levels of the General population is on a 5th grade reading level. Shakespeare is no longer a High School level of reading....it's post-secondary. So we have a group of elitists snobs that claim only one translation is acceptable? No different than the Pharisees in any respects...

    The word of God is not a secret code that needs unlocked.

    Why? What problem do you have with them? I'm asking purely out of curiosity because the few times I've seen their answers pop up they have been fine, a bit basic but ok.

    The word of God is not a secret code that needs unlocked.

    Yeah. Elizabethan Olde English is a college course all in itself. A foreign language course. WHY spend time learning it instead of Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek and Early Latin? Seems to me that the time would be better spent elsewhere. Then on top of this why be persuaded into the Anglican...

    The word of God is not a secret code that needs unlocked.

    EVERYONE reads the Bible with their own personally made blinders and filters. It requires a friend to help. (Cognitive Biases and Cognitive Dissonances) Because you can't be a Christian alone....you have to do it with people. The first word of the Lord's prayer should be the clue...

    Needing Advice On How Much Free Labour to Give A Pastor.

    I've been in these sorts of situations. The materials situation is the issue here. Construction guys like to see the job put in to completion and on normal jobs that's exactly what happens. And this ain't that. You install the materials provided AND PAID FOR. That's the stopping...

    Hello chefs?

    In New York pork was usually low quality and not as popular as here in the South. So it seldom sells well. They have lots of Asian and Italian foods. Also bakeries everywhere. BUT I took a loin and turned it into a sheet then filled with apple and ginger roasting it after rolling it up...

    Does the Bible say anything about doing adventure sports?

    Strudel is also common isn't it? I love apple. I know the Austrians think they own everything...same with the Swiss but....currently they have better Greek food than Greece does. Sweden also shares the border with Finland....which is famous for reindeer. Which also means there's heavy...

    Do you lie to your spouse............for correction?

    Lies are the "evil". And I'm quoting Paul....from a famous verse in scripture. I'm making a reference to the concept and not the particulars. Oh I fully understand what you are saying...been there done that sort of thing myself. It doesn't work. Always has a bad end. Because your wife...

    Does the Bible say anything about doing adventure sports?

    I agree. And for a few people this is true. And those people are very noisy about "the rules" and how the people that don't follow their list of rules are evil. But that's not you. Maybe explain that to her. Mother-Daughter relationships can be difficult sometimes. But the more you...

    Do you lie to your spouse............for correction?

    Let us do evil so that good can result? It's not worked in 5700+ years yet....but people keep trying. Your wife loves you and your ways even though they cause conflict. Just like you love her with her ways. Because every dog has its unique fleas. And without those fleas you have no...

    Does the Bible say anything about doing adventure sports?

    I wish I could do that stuff you are talking about.... But I've hung out in too many schnitzel stands .... Switzerland is a great place....all sorts of outdoor activities. Also great foods everywhere. Schnitzel and strudel being some of my most favorites. I'm a recovering chef. The...

    nwhat are your views on tattoos?

    As far as a spiritual reason.... Ephesians 5 Do not be full of wine but be full of the Holy Spirit. This is part of a dissertation by Paul trying to sum up what the focus of a Christian life is to be about. It starts back in chapter 4. And Tattoos are an earthy centered thing. Meaning...
