[@jesusdeity2010]

@@alisachilders What lots of people (even pastors) don't (yet) understand. God created us according to His own image and likeness. Godly. Mankind/the first Adam fell. The image of God in man got lost. That's why there is all this predicament on earth (selfishness, greed, lust, wars, sicknesses, death, etc). We are all born into that mess. For the fall of man a perfect atoning sacrifice had to be made.... that is what God did in Christ. With His own once and for all perefect sacrifice, He paid the debt for the fall of man for us, so we can be indwelled by His Spirit again and finally receive the divine life of the ages back, the first Adam let got of in the fall of man. An amazing act of grace and love by our creator. That is what you see happening in Christ's first disciples. They too healed all and walked in unselfish love. And yes.... that is still avaible today. The holy blood is in place, the Holy Spirit is here to give us understanding, power and transform us back to origin. Not to be debated about, but to be embraced and be-come. So: The Kingdom of God already came. Through Christ, in Spiritform, in those that understand. Hence the divine healing miracles we experience. God manifested in Christ to give us back the divine life mankind lost in the fall of Adam. Christ, the exact image of the invisible God. The image we were created after in Gen 1. The image we lost in the fall of man. The image that can be freely restored by Christ's blood and Holy Spirit working IN us. What a plan. What a solution. What a love. What a God. Jesus is amazing. It is the ultimate conclusion of the word and plan of God. God came full circle. He Himself stooped down from glory to restore us back to original created value: Christlikeness. Walking in divine healing power and unselfish love. Jesus, born of the Spirit of God, filled with the spirit of God. The "Son" of God, the incarnated word, God in the flesh. For three years He healed all, raised the dead, casted out demons, controlled nature, spoke pure divine truth. He said: "Follow Me. If you see Me, you see the Father. The Father and I are one. The glory I have IN My Father, I give to you. It pleases the Father to give you His Kingdom/Holy Spirit/divine nature. I will send Holy Spirit, the same as Me, He will be IN you, guide you into truth and give you explosive power. The same miracles i do, you will do too, because you will understand that the Father is IN Me and I am IN you. Freely I give you My Kingdom/Holy Spirit/divine nature, heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, freely I give, freely share" Etc, etc, etc. I have experienced thousands of beautifull healing miracles through the power of Holy Spirit IN me already. Broken bones, cancers, covid, all kinds of infirmities healed in seconds. Demons manifesting and casted out by a simple "get out, in Jesus name". Jesus. De name above all names. In Him all power and wisdom is sourced and.... He calls us one with Him. God in man and man in God again. C'mon Jesus!! So.... again: God stooped down IN Christ to restore us back to Gen 1:27 were He said: "Let us make man according to our image and likeness and let them have authority.....": walk as Christ. Christ, the exact image of the invisible God. The image we were created after and being restored to by His atoning blood for the fall of man and indwelling Holy Spirit. You are free to receive this original divine life of the ages by Holy Spirit of Christ/God. Ask Him to guide you into truth. Read the Gospel of John and fall in love with your creator. You are not made for the fall of man and its effects, but for the image/glory of God and to walk like Christ. Holy Spirit is the guide and transforming power that will get you there. Amazing grace. A big leap in faith can be made when we start realizing we are already IN Christ, IN the last Adam. Free from the fall! Loved! Growing into awareness of our new (yet old) godly identity. Changing by Holy Spirit. The most fullfilled life ever. Paul healed all on Malta. He understood and wrote: "As in the first Adam ALL died (lost the divine nature), so also ALL were made alive IN Christ to walk in Zoë (= divine life) again". "IN Christ (the last Adam) we are co-cruisified (dead to the fall and its effects), co-raised (justified/made righteousness, holy, blameless, above reproach), co-seated (one with Him)" "The fullness of deity dwells in Christ and YOU HAVE BEEN MADE COMPLETE IN HIM, who is the head of every principality and power". So.... thank you Jesus! Thank you for redeeming me from the fall of man. Thank you for your Holy Spirit that makes this new (yet old) divine life come alive in me. You are amazing! In the shadow of Peter the sick healed... He understood too and wrote: "By Gods power (Holy Spirit) and knowing Christ, we have become partakers of the divine nature and have escaped the fall of man". The divine life of the ages has been returned to us by Jesus once and for all perfect atoning sacrifice for the debt of the fall of man and His indwelling Holy Spirit in us. Jesus/God is amazing!!! Ask Him to give you revelation and change you to the way it was before the fall of man: Christlikeness. He will do so. For it is written: "the Spirit brings forth after His own kind". "I have come to give you Zoë (divine life) in abundance...."

[@-mattwood]

Hi William. Sounds like you know what you’re saying. 16 other people agree. I’m interested in getting some clarity: how many people have been led to hell by false teachers, how many false teachers are in that group, how do you know that all these people are in hell, what is the exact number of ‘atheists combined’ and again how you know how many people they have led to hell? Maybe I’m too skeptical, but It sounds like you are making things up, making statements as though they are some kind of fact (or fact-like fact) and you seem to have gotten a following of people who believe you. I’m interested in getting this question answered: if what you say can’t be backed up, are YOU a false teacher? How many other religious things do you say that are unsubstantiated that give you the appearance of authority or insight? And how often do you sway the thinking of others with these unsubstantiated thoughts? It seems like Christians don’t ask very good questions, and they just like to follow whatever sounds right to them. “False” teachers don’t exist when there is no way to falsify a belief system.

[@WilliamtheWorst]

@@-mattwood I think you’re being too skeptical. Conflating an opinion with false teaching is quite the stretch, especially when I’m not claiming my thought as “coming from God.” Pump the brakes, brother. Sola Scriptura!

[@-mattwood]

@@WilliamtheWorst Your opinions are an outgrowth of what you’ve learned or have been told. What you share from that point on carries the seeds of that lineage into the minds of others. An opinion isn’t just a sterile thought that doesn’t carry any meaning at all and you are still responsible for what you say that others then absorb. What I am saying is that Christians seem to have a difficult time building their houses on the bedrock of truth because none exists under the sands of unfalsifiability - this is why there are so many factions within Christianity that try to ‘out-truth’ each other... but all they are are claims and interpretations. Whatever god created a system that relies solely on belief probably doesn’t care too much about rampant error.

[@WilliamtheWorst]

@@-mattwood My opinion, while correct, doesn't matter. Neither does yours. Trolling Alisa's page won't change anyone's mind either. (Ephesians 4:23) “Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorant words? Brace yourself like a man, because I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.” Jehovah, in Job 38:2-3. I truly pray you find Christ one day, but I also respect your right to remain unfound.

[@-mattwood]

@@WilliamtheWorst Your opinion is based on a series of irrational presumptions that fundamentally comprise the bulk of Christian theology - if that opinion is expressed on a public forum it’s not all that unusual to be read and responded to - it can be liked or it can be questioned - are ‘likes’ or affirmations considered trolling, no, why, because they make you feel justified? Is questioning your comment trolling, you seem to think so, why, because I’m not agreeing with you? I’m not being disrespectful to you - I am addressing a ‘bubble’ on a public forum. Bubbles of misperception and ‘false teaching’ exist and are perpetuated because people say nothing. False teachers (according to you and Alisa) exist thus this exchange is on point with what Alisa is discussing here - she is examining false teachers in a similar way that I’ve examined and engaged you... at least I am specific and personal with my questioning... Alisa just seems to monologue on and triangulate on her disagreements with others. Your opinions have an effect and matter. The opinions of others HAVE effected your thinking over time and changed your mind over time. My opinions matter and already have had an effect on you by virtue of me expressing them. I see the wielding of scripture is high in your justification conditioning - while poetic and beautiful sounding, it does nothing to validate your comment that your opinion was correct - instead it validates the fact that you’re not concerned with the accuracy of the statements you voice, and so you say things that are flawed and even false. Others agree with you as if what you said was true. It wasn’t - but others have been taught not to know the difference - who taught them that? And, to the point, we circle back to “who are the false teachers in a belief system that is unfalsifiable?” There are none AND they all are.

[@loehring100]

Why it's so important that you read the entire Bible and test each scripture against the rest of the book. Scripture never contradicts. Taking scripture out of context is like putting the piece of a puzzle in the wrong place. When you don't have any other pieces around it, it's easy to have it wrong. The more of the puzzle you have put together, the more obvious it is that the piece doesn't fit and the easier it is to find the right place.

On this so important topic, we have to pray for the Church, the body of Christ on Earth, wich is more and more under attack of false teachings told in and thru "churches" to so many people. They preach more about "topics" (healing, prosperity, miracles, manifestations of the Holy Spirit (?),...) than learning about the spirit speaking about the topics and learn discerning about it. Eve looked more at the fruit (topic) than at the speaker (God or devil). Something may sound nice en true but what do you do with it when you suddenly get that the "speaking source" of it is an evil one ? A way is to go to our Heavenly Father and ask Him first : "Dear Father, I have heard this (...), does it come from You ? Let me know what your Word says about it, please guide me thru your Word in all truth about it." Eve could have said to the devil : "Hum, I'll think about it", knowing she could first ask God before making a decision. Big challenge. Thank you for this topic and blessings to you.

Believe in the person and finished work of Christ and be saved! Jesus made it so that children can understand it... Never be decieved by being rooted in the simplicity of the Gospel!! The burden of sin was bore upon the cross by the Lord Jesus Christ. Anyone who places the burden of sin upon a sinner to be saved is propagating a false gospel of self-righteousness. Jesus paid it all... and He died in our place taking the punishment we all deserve... Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through repentance and faith. God will not save anyone who is trying to be saved of themselves, He will only save those who know they need a savior and are trusting Him to be saved. The only requirement to be saved is to admit that you are a guilty sinner in God's sight (Romans 3:19-26) and to turn to Jesus Christ in faith trusting in His death burrial and Ressurection (Romans 10:9-13). You must come as an ungodly sinner to be saved. No one has ever been saved except the UNGODLY (Romans 4:5-8). God doesn't save the self-righteous, who are going about to establish their own righteousness (Matthew 7:21-23). We can only be saved by God's righteousness, which is through faith in Christ. Philippians 3:9 says, “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.” Repentance is turning to the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved from one's sins (Acts 3:19). Salvation is receiving NOT giving (Romans 4:5). Eternal life is the free gift of God (Romans 5:15;6:23), paid for by Jesus' precious literal blood (1st Peter 1:18,19). To be saved we simply need to come as a guilty sinner to Jesus Christ to have our sins washed away by His redeeming blood (1st John 1:7). Salvation is turning to Jesus to be forgiven of one's sins NOT turning from one's sins in order to be forgiven by Jesus. The Holy Spirit and the grace of God will begin to work on the born-again believer to guide them and grow them and each one of us as individuals will all reach different places of spiritual maturity before we die. There is a judgement seat of Christ for our life and service unto God but this is not a judgment for heaven or hell as even the most spiritually immature believers will still be saved as by fire according to the word of God.

[@robertpeterson4867]

Thank you brother Dave, and well said. I think you've put your finger exactly on the problem with so many teachers. Too many people see salvation as a trade or bargain with God instead of a gift from God. I think Christian teachers are welcome to make discipleship as difficult, arduous, and tough as they want... Jesus and Paul sure did. But as for salvation and eternal life, it must be a free gift given permanently by God to those who simply believe the Gospel. Jesus is the Messiah, he died for our sins, was buried, and rose from the grave, and if I believe that He did that for me and receive it by mere faith alone in Christ I am saved.

And you are never further from accepting Jesus and being saved than when you thing you are already saved - since one does not attempt to gain something he believers he already has. Thus, the doctrine of works of righteousness to earn salvation, to qualify for redemption, is the deadliest doctrine of evil that exists. It is infinitely more dangerous that teaching people they don't need Jesus or salvation, teaching them to revel in their sin and call it freedom, etc. Anyone who ends up in hell will be there, not because of sin, but because they declined to accept amnesty as sinners, the free gift of salvation from a God who demands that we be perfect, but not as a qualification for salvation - which he knows no one could ever meet. We are redeemed as sinner, while sinning with a sin nature and people who can never refrain from sinning in some way until we are with Jesus and become like him after we die.

[@Aenthel]

the Messiah always guided believers to learn from and live by the teachings, which are good for our spiritual well-being (Matthew 7:24) we can see when the Messiah returns those who tried to learn through the teachings good ways to live are commended, whereas those who practised evil such as harming others are then brought into judgement (Matthew 24:45 - 51, notice these are groups of believers not unbelievers) is it wiser for us to try to keep the teachings and thus learn to do good or to ignore the teachings and say they have no bearing on our spiritual condition let's keep trying to learn through the teachings good ways to live, most of all trying to learn to be kind and understanding with others (if carefully at times in a dangerous and saddened world, Matthew 10:16) He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? (Micah 6:8) (Psalms 37:11) (Proverbs 12:10) (Luke 6:35 - 36)

[@danielmcdairmant496]

This sounds wise, but how does it square with scripture? "Thy word is truth." -John 17:17 Sounds like you have some words, yourself, and very little truth. Perhaps truth is about simply having the RIGHT words, instead of professing your own ideas to be wise.

3 ... The original ‘freewill’ First Baptist Church was founded in Providence,Rhode Island,1638. This ‘christian’ theology was based on personal responsibility and ‘clarity-of-conscience’. Roger Williams bought the land with a deed signed by the local Sachem - a head of state among local tribes and Chiefs. Williams had studied the Baptist writings of Reverend John Smyth and Thomas Helwys whom studied with the Mennonite Anabaptists,1609,Amsterdam,Province of Holland. The ‘Southern-‘predestination’-Baptists’ succeeded from the New England Baptists over the issue of slavery,1845. The Black Baptists understood the Freewill ‘general’ Baptist theology as U.S.President-Abraham Lincoln,POTUS-No.16 did,whom was raised in a ‘General’ Freewill Baptist household. Since he grew up in the Midwest frontier territory,the theology no doubt was closely associated with the Amish,Mennonites,and Anabaptist non-violent Christian theology whom adopted the Mennonite Confession,1632.

[@IAlephI]

A concept such as deception no doubt is valid, but there is also shutting off in denial not wanting to listen or let others listen. John 10:20 Many of them said, "He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?" If it was that simple then cancelling out Jesus as scripture teacher but deceiver is a valid argument. (not saying the video is trying to make a deception cancel argument, just that some use it as a tool) The "Why listen to him?" in John 10:20 is very telling. Is there any one willing to hear an alternative view to his, i.e both the "murder" and "divinity" come from the devil not Jesus at all. Crazy ideas or not, a sincere follower of Jesus is not afraid to be just and listen to two sides. If I'm wrong, crazy, speaking on behalf of the devil, I'm accepting those charges beforehand provided the evidence speaks to that effect. Is there anyone willing to explore this in dept and see how two sides hold up against truth? John 8:40 As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things. John 8:43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. a) Is that not an explicit statement against what he calls "murder"? "As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me" "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires." b) Jesus says this is bad, this is murder, the desire of the devil (father of lies) Guess what the devil will say through the wolves in sheep clothing "No, this is good" As if this is coming from sheep, from Jesus. (This can be explored with much more supporting evidence) c) Is it the desire of the father of lies that Jesus dies? How do we know that: i) From Jesus explicit statement (John 8:40) ii) The devil trying to tempt Jesus to throw himself. More importantly what does the devil say to Jesus as he is trying to tempt him? Matthew 4:6 "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written: "'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'" "For it is written" - Psalms 91. "He will command his angels concerning you" Psalms 91:11-13 11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; 12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. Psalms 91:15-16 15 He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” d) Does Jesus pray to the Father with tears and cries? Calls it murder in John 8:40, proceeds to take refuge from the wicked. (Luke 22:41) He withdrew about a stone's throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, (Luke 22:42) "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." (Luke 22:43) An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. Is there consistency so far? Does it stop here? There is much much more which only adds to the whole picture and is consistent through and through. Jesus calling the false prophets wolves in sheep clothing is not random, there is consistency in the words of Jesus through and through. Is the "divinity" and "needing to die" from Jesus or wolves in sheep clothing. With all that being said, a person sincere in wanting to follow Jesus and looking into what belongs to Jesus and what does not will not be afraid to listen. I am willing to listen to contrary evidence. Whether its evidence on my side or against it, its worth giving it respect of at least hearing it and seeing if there is any depth, truth or consistency.

[@romanticandperky]

Yes, Satan quoted scripture at Our Lord when He came from the desert after the 40 day fast (Matthew 4, Luke 4).

[@jimyost2585]

This isn't for people who don't like to read. I apologize for making it so long, one thought led to another and so on. Sorry about that. There are 3 basic sources of religious energy which are the Holy Spirit, kingdom of darkness religious spirits, and human soul power. During times of no outpouring of the Holy Spirit (as in this day and time) it is extremely rare and difficult to find someone speaking by the anointing of the Holy Spirit, but it is commonplace for religious people to have the anointing of a religious spirit, and/or to run on soul power. The religious spirits are the highest echelon of warrior demons in the kingdom of darkness hierarchy who are carefully groomed by kingdom of darkness overlords (aka fallen angels/principalities) to know how to mimic the Holy Spirit. Religious spirits and religious soul power seek to mimic the Holy Spirit, and sometimes they can be very convincing with their 'Do-Gooder' persona, their sanctimonious posture of perfection, their mock authority, and their busy 'good works' agendas. The ploy has mostly to do with manipulation and control of the humans who allow themselves to be used by religious spirits as human mouthpieces, and manipulation and control of their followers (especially that). Sometimes soul power can be a good thing, as in construction trades, mechanical trades, sports, music, art, chess, math, science, engineering, higher learning, anything that requires special talent and ability. But religious soul power is pretty much always exploited by kingdom of darkness religious spirits, the reason being that the Lord requires for Christians to wait for him to give them the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and if he doesn't give it to them, for them to do nothing ministry-wise until he does. But if they go ahead anyway and launch out in presumption and start relying on soul power, they give automatic rights to the kingdom of darkness overlords to lade them with a religious spirit, which is what is going on with practically all of these KZbin religionists who are being driven by the religious spirits operating through them to be obsessed to post their spiritually worthless videos. One thing these KZbin religionists fail to consider is that because they refused to wait on the Lord to give them the anointing of the Holy Spirit, but went ahead doing their own thing in his name anyway, that when the end-time outpouring of the Holy Spirit comes they'll be left out of it because they have their reward now with their fifteen minutes of fame. That's exactly what happened to the televangelists and the system church priestclass who emulated them (so-called 'pastors') during the mid-90's outpouring of the Holy Spirit (what became known as "The Toronto Outpouring of the Holy Spirit" that lasted from 1991 - 1996). Then when they realized that they were left out of it they got jealous and bitter and vilified it, with many of them blaspheming the Holy Spirit by saying the outpouring was "Of the devil." KZbin was actually concocted by the kingdom of darkness overlords as a forum for religious spirits to manifest through human mouthpieces for the purpose of making a parody of prophetic ministry (and of Christianity in general), and for the purpose of controlling millions of Christians, and it is working famously well for them. In their esteem, everything else on KZbin is just worldly fluff, but which is useful to them because it helps to legitimize KZbin, which is very important to them as the KZbin false teachers and false prophets are their primary voice to the world now, along with the system church priestclass (i.e. so-called 'pastors' and other assorted ministers) who emulate them. The kingdom of darkness' highest priority agenda is to use KZbin to acclimate Christians to false prophetic ministry, because they know that during times of no outpouring of the Holy Spirit (as in this day and time) that the Lord keeps the true prophets hidden, and that when the end-time outpouring of the Holy Spirit arrives (which I think is going to be fairly soon) he will bring them out of hiding and anoint them with Holy Spirit power. That is exactly what happened during the mid-90's outpouring of the Holy Spirit. And the kingdom of darkness overlords remember it, so it is of utmost importance to them to acclimate Christians to false prophetic ministry now so that when the end-time outpouring of the Holy Spirit comes they won't be able to relate to it, and they'll distrust the Lord's prophets, and will be afraid of them, and will call them false prophets, especially when they hear their messages which will be so totally opposite of the sweetsie-sweet and nicie-nice 'prophecies' they've been being weaned on for years and years, most of which major on the elementary principles of Christianity which the Holy Spirit said not to be doing (see Hebrews 6:1-3 in the King James Version). As a side note, religious soul power sometimes drifts over into witchcraft which is also always exploited by religious spirits. Psychic phenomenon can be a form of witchcraft (alsoTarot cards, 'law of attraction,' palm reading, numerology, mind over matter phenomenon, etc.). Simon Magus of Acts 8:9-24 is an example of that. There are many so-called 'pastors' and other ministers who employ witchcraft control to compensate for their own spiritual powerlessness. Many music ministers and worship teams rely on witchcraft spirits and witchcraft methods to empower them. The story about the Philippian girl of Acts chapter 16 (beginning with verse 16) is an example of how a religious spirit manifests through a human mouthpiece, as in what is going on with these KZbin religionists (i.e. teachers, so-called 'prophets,' and other assorted self-appointed 'Do-Gooders' who are doing their own thing in the Lord's name, some of whom are making a lot of money doing it). Bear in mind that everything the Philippian girl said was 100% correct, and was 100% the truth. But also bear in mind that it was a religious spirit speaking through her, the same as what is going on with these KZbin religionists. As another side note, politics is actually a lot of people's religion, and politicians and their followers are often targeted by religious spirits. There are a lot of spiritually defunct false teachers and false prophets who have no anointing of the Holy Spirit whatsoever whose credibility is dependent on their ranting about politics. KZbin is awash with them. Since they have nothing of spiritual value to say, if they didn't rant about politics, nobody would pay much attention to anything they have to say. In Mark 8:15 the Lord told his disciples to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod. As I understand it, the leaven of the Pharisees has to do with soul power religion that is devoid of the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and the leaven of Herod has to do with politics, both of which have all to do with control (kingdom of darkness control). In Ephesians 6:12 in the King James Version the Holy Spirit speaking through the Apostle Paul revealed that the fallen angels run the world system (which is why the world is so messed up). In that verse Paul referred to the fallen angels as 'principalities.' As another side note, whenever someone gives rights to the kingdom of darkness overlords to lade them with a religious spirit, they will also lade them with a deaf, dumb, and blind spirit (per Psalm 115:5-8 in the King James Version), after which they will be unable to hear the Holy Spirit speaking to them, they will be unable to speak by the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and they will be unable to receive spiritual truth (they will have no spiritual discernment). Back during the mid-90's outpouring of the Holy Spirit the Holy Spirit spoke the following prophecy through several Christian prophets in the US and Canada which was this: "When this outpouring ends the enemy is poised to retaliate against the outpouring with the biggest onslaught of religious activity in the history of the Lord's church." That was around ten years before KZbin was concocted. At the time the prophecy was given nobody could envision what the Lord was talking about. Now we know. I always try to remember to advise Christians to start praying and asking the Lord to give them the gift of discerning of spirits (the Holy Spirit speaking through the Apostle Paul made mention of the gift of discerning of spirits in 1 Corinthians 12:10 in the King James Version). I also always try to remember to advise Christians to seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit evidenced by speaking in tongues, because speaking in tongues is like a superweapon against the kingdom of darkness. I also always try to remember to advise Christians to never watch religious KZbin videos, for obvious reasons (obvious to me at least), and to spend the time they'd spend doing that seeking the Holy Spirit in the quiet at home. If you decide to look up the accounts of Simon Magus and the Philippian girl, I suggest that you read those sections of scripture in the King James Version.

I don't believe That the devil knew for certain that Jesus was the son of God, he had strong suspicions but the proof he wanted Jesus never gave him, Jesus didn't play his game. Only after the cross the devil knew for sure, remember he was spiritually blinded after the fall. But that's also something I've come to believe later in life. FWIW. Stay vigilant people!

[@gerryquinn5578]

This was an interesting presentation. Given the title of the talk and as even the presenter said herself, how can we be sure that what she is claiming to be true is not in fact a deception? Alisa mentioned a number of scriptures which indicated an apostasy. Given the parable of the weeds, which indicated a devilish plot to undermine true Christianity, how can we be sure the devil has not succeeded? Alisa contrasted the satanic lies with the truth of Jesus. Jesus was a Jew. He prayed to and worshiped the LORD (YHWH) God. He gave all glory to his God. He died and was resurrected by his God. He ascended to his God. The resurrected Jesus, in heaven itself, still had a God. Are Christians really giving worship to Jesus' God? Alisa mentioned the famous temptation account in Mat Chapter 4. You know the one, where the Devil tempts Jesus and begins by saying : " if you are the Son of God....." Alisa tells us that satan knew who Jesus was. His greatest triumph would have been to get the Son of God to do an act of worshipo to him. He actually tempted him. You cannot tempt God. But you can tempt one who is the Christ, the Son of God. Alisa talks about the devil being the father of the lie. What was the lie? That the first human couple wouldn't die? But they did? No problem for the devil. There is no such thing as death. Your fleshly body dies but your soul/ spirit/ whatever lives on. There you have it, the great satanic lie.

Alisa you cannot be deceived as long as you have fellowship with Jesus Christ because when you have fellowship with God you think as He does. "We worshipped Jesus instead of following him on his same path. We made Jesus into a mere religion instead of a journey toward union with God and everything else. This shift made us into a religion of “belonging and believing” instead of a religion of transformation." Richard Rohr

Really good and very timely. I am so thankful that the moment I became a Christian, God implanted on my heart that the Bible is 100% the true, Word of God and I've never doubted it

What does your logo represent?

[@originalmix2546]

I got exactly the same question about it for some time already. it looks like the sign of Apollo, think, that's the title of it. Hope, Alisa will cover this, maybe make one QnA at one point

The devil Satan is not only a deciever he takes your past Sins and Accuses you saying you are Not surely Forgiven for all the Sin you have done even when you make unintended errors while you walk with the Lord, Accuser is his way of destroying Faith in Gods Salvation.. (Jesus)...

If you have the Holy Spirit your innerman will not be deceived but if you don't understand in the mind your outerman can be decieved if you don't know how to understand what you believe you will be destroyed for lack of knowledge. Be transformed by the renewing of the mind, through knowledge by the Word of God.

Like the devil... He uses scripture that's true and Jesus then says... It also says... The problem is with man's ability to be in tune with the holy spirit. One could pick any verse in the Bible in any moment and the scripture is true... But we need to know the voice of God and the holy spirit's promoting to know what God is saying in the moment... Which verse is for this particular issue. So it doesn't need to be wrong teaching... But there is a need to know which teaching for which moment.... That's where discernment and being close to Jesus and having God's mindset comes into play. We cannot just spout scripture. The truth is not just a fact. Someone can say a correct fact but with a decieptful and manipulative motive and desired outcome.
