Oh dear. Some people really aren't as bright as they think they are, are they?

I'll answer the above two posts in due course, bit by bit. On an iPhone, it's very limiting, and you can see the result of posting not-very-well-checked long sections of text. My posts much too late last night were full of HTML and textual errors. I know that the kinder people here...you, all of you, who don't post because you daren't place yourselves against the prevailing tide as I do but contact me supportively elsewhere ...and each of you knows that I fully understand how you feel and don't blame you in the least. Definitely not. Who would choose to be in receipt of what comes my way?

Anyway, no long post here now. Just to make one point. Justmom and Shelby each (though no-one thinks independently) makes the same point. Each one has a go at my speaking of the Church...and remember, most of the time when I say "Church" I am not talking about the RC church, but the whole church throughout the world, comprising all those who believe in him.

I mentioned those who "profess faith in her" and "belief in him."

Ah. As I said, not as bright as you think you are, are you?

Didn't anyone ever tell you that "faith" and "belief" are synonymous? One is a noun per se (oops, better explain that per se means in and of itself). In other words, for these ones who don't understand English, they mean the same thing!

We say faith very often when we talk, as Jesus did, of someone having faith. We have faith in Him. We say believe and belief, as Jesus did, more when we are talking about the action of believing, in other words, having faith. They mean the same thing but we use them in different situations.

Because I used the feminine pronoun "her" when speaking of the Church, I've been mocked, surprise surprise, by both justmom and Shelby. The Church includes all that body of Christians all over the world, just as He said, those who believe in him.

Very simple, but those two try to make my words mean something else.

Silly of me to write so much so late at night. This post should hopefully be easier to understand.

If you "profess" union with the Body, frankly, it's just plain weird.


Okay, now you're not only contradicting yourself, dear Char (peace!), but falsely stating that faith should be in "the Church" (so NOT Christ)... while only our BELIEF is in him. No, no... I'm not twisting your words, at all. Here is what YOU stated:

Quote:
the Body of our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Son of God is the Church, the community of those who profess faith[i] IN HER and [i]belief in Him...


Unfortunately, statements like these only further show that you do not know Christ, at all... and are not of his Body. Because those of his Body KNOW that:

(1) Our FAITH is to be in HIM... and ONLY him; and

(2) That one believes means nothing; the demons believe... and have belief IN Christ (Acts 15:16-18) ... but that doesn't make them part of Christ's Body.

Quote:
Quote:
How do you understand from Holy Spirit this? Those that belong to him would or should know this right?


How? Explicitly! From Jesus' own words! Along with billions of good, loving and believing Christians.


What "words," dear Char... and HOW did you "hear" them? The Bible doesn't have a mouth; it can't speak. So HOW do you understand?

Quote:
I'll remind you, as Shelby and those who follow her seem to have forgotten:


And I'll remind YOU, again, that you are one of only two who have OPENLY professed that I am the reason you are here... and of the two, you are the ONLY one who OPENLY professed that YOU followed ME. Do you not see your hypocrisy, yet? And had I joined you in revering the RCC... you would have continued to "follow" me, Char.

Quote:
"he who believes in me shall not perish but have everlasting life." As I have said many times, Jesus made it as clear as day. John 11:25. "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he may die, yet will he live"


To WHOM was he speaking, though, dear one... and OF whom? Everyone, as you believe? But his words don't include everyone, do they, but only those who HAVE FAITH IN him (which is what the word you translate as "believes" really means. Yet, above, you profess that your faith is NOT in him... but in "the Church." Do you SEE?
Quote:

"He who believes in me." Exactly, EXACTLY what I said.


Sorry, but no. While on the one had you make that claim as to the Catholic "Church," on the other hand you make it as to all of mankind. Again, you contradict yourself. Even more so, YOU don't believe in him, dear one... except to the extent he is still dead. Because dead persons... don't speak.

Quote:
Yet Shelby, in her post, shuts the door of heaven to those to whom Jesus opens it.


How so, dear Char? I never shut the Door that is Christ to anyone... including you. In fact, I herald that Door... SHOUT of him... from the rooftops! Where, though, is YOUR proclamation... other than your endorsement of the RCC? Even so, while I cannot do what YOU wish me... and endorse the RCC WITH you... I certainly don't judge those who have their faith in her, including you. Since "she" is their/your master, to HER you will stand... or fall. Not to me.

[On another note, I do wish you would come up with an original retort just once, rather than simply parroting me and what I've shared with you. It doesn't make you look credible, dear one, but merely another "JW-ish" type of person simply parroting what she's been told to say when asked a reason for her faith.]

Quote:
Justmom, you and Shelby ask from whom did I hear the understanding that I voiced? From Jesus Christ, Son of God


WE are not the one who say otherwise or take issue with this, dear Char; YOU are and do. YOU say you don't hear him speak to you. Yet, NOW... you contradict yourself and say you heard it from him. Again... you contradict yourself. Which is it, then? DO you hear... and if so... HOW? Or do you not, in which case, what do you mean by the above? Please note, these questions are both rhetorical and not. Rhetorical... because I have no illusions that you can... or will... respond to them. Not, just in case I'm wrong. Based on history, I don't think so, though.

Quote:
and may he have mercy on you for preaching counter to his own words


Okay, forget rhetorical. Show me... PLEASE... WHERE... in even ONE instance... I, dear 'Mom... or anyone here but you (and perhaps one or two others) have preached ANYTHING counter to Christ's words. ONE verse, dear Char. Just ONE.

Quote:
and pressing your own fictional views onto others.


That, too. Please... show me/us. Just ONE thing. AND... where we are pressing them onto ANYONE. You don't even know what we're talking about... and you certainly can't say we're pressing anything on YOU. No one is pursuing you, dear Char. WE don't come where YOU are; YOU come where WE are. Why??

Quote:
Doing so is Jehovah's Witness-type behaviour. Excluding others, in your own words, from the promises He makes. God gave his Only Son to live and die as Man for us all, for the whole world...yet not in your eyes.


And there you go: back to the whole world... yet, as above, those who "believe" in him. I feared I might have to find one of the many posts where you stated that... but you've done my work for me, thank you. But which IS it, dear Char? The WHOLE world... including those who do NOT believe in him (and there are many)... or those who believe in him? And if it's EVERYONE who "believes" in him... does that include the demons? Because remember, again, they believe in him, too.

Quote:
I am not the one who does not hear his voice.


Well, that's what WE said: that you DO hear... indeed, that you even once admitted it! YOU are the one who denies that, NOW. YOU are the one who says you don't hear. We have not said such ABOUT you. We have SAID that EVERYONE hears... but few LISTEN. Including, apparently, you.

Quote:
I do believe you hear a voice, as the alternative would be mass delusion.


Sigh. Yet another contradiction: we hear, yet you are "not the one who does not hear..."

Quote:
Quote:
If it isn't mass ( a minute, tiny, minuscule mass, fortunately) delusion, then you hear a voice. But not, most definitely not, the voice of Jesus.


Wait, and WE sound like Jehovah's Witnesses???!!! So, you believe that OTHER spirits can speak... and you have NO problem believing we hear OTHER spirits... but not THE Holy Spirit, the HOLY ONE of Israel, JAHESHUA, the Chosen One of JAH (MischaJah)... His Son and Christ... who ROSE... FROM the dead... and IS ALIVE? HE can't speak, although lesser spirits can... and we can't hear HIM (although, apparently you can, yes?)... but can hear lesser spirits?? You believe other spirits can and do speak... and people can hear THEM... but NOT the One to whom was given "ALL authority... in heaven AND on earth"?? What SENSE does that make, dear Char???

I will tell you: it makes NO sense. But, it is certainly a belief of Jehovah's Witnesses. And, apparently, you and those you share in faith with, as well. What a LACK of faith, though...

Quote:
If it isn't the voice of Jesus, and it cannot be since it tells you things going directly against the things Jesus said
,

Again, I call upon you... before JAH/God, JAHESHUA/"Jesus"/Christ... all the angels... and all of mankind, including those here... to show ME where I have shared ANYTHING that goes directly (or indirectly) against the things "Jesus" said. Just ONE, dear Char. Keep in mind... YOU will have to know what he's said... whether as recorded (which you have proven time and time again that you DON'T know)... or as you have heard FROM him. Please... show me.

Quote:
then it is something else, from somewhere and someone else, and you can work that out for yourselves as to who it is.


Actually, no, there's nothing for US to work out. There is something for YOU to work out, though... and it starts with the letter "b." I implore you... if you truly don't know, just admit that. But please don't continue to opine because what you're doing is dangerous. You are attributing the words of the Holy Spirit to "something else," by which I can't help thinking you mean anything other than the Adversary or one of HIS angels... and you don't want to do that, dear Char. Truly, you do not.

As for the discussion between you and dear 'Mom (peace to you!)... I will leave that to you and her, as I have no care of the matter one way or the other. One Pope is of one position, another of another. Earthling man, so there should be no surprise. Just like this Pope is more liberal about the matter, the former... and perhaps the next... will be more conservative. Politics. That's all it all is. Not faith in JAH/Christ. Because if it WERE... there would be no NEED for a "catechism" OR comment/position as to the matter. For the HOLY SPIRIT... which teaches ALL who belong to him... would have told ALL the SAME thing. Which is why, with that spirit... ones does not NEED any others to be teaching them! See?? Jeremiah 31:31-34; 1 John 2:26-28

Quote:
The Pope was constantly referring to and quoting the Catechism, yet the press pretended something diametrically opposite and here we see result. Justmom's words on new light gloatingly and crowingly repeated here.


I will comment here, though, and ask: what, fundamentally, is the difference between, say, the Catechism, Talmud, Book of Mormon... and the Watchtower? Are these not ALL supplemental commentary? Why? Wasn't/isn't the Bible sufficient? Wait... my Lord asks: wasn't/isn't HE... and holy spirit... sufficient? According to the MOST HOLY One of Israel, JAH of Armies... it SHOULD be (Matthew 17:5; Hebrews 12:25

Quote:
As for Shelby, well, she is not forgotten. When I can stomach her poisonous abuse, I'll answer it. In my own good time.


Stop it, Char. You are not a victim here and no one is abusing you. YOU have been the abuser... and we "fell out" you and I... when I called you on it. You want me to treat YOU better than you treated others, although those others had done neither you NOR me any wrong here. You want others to respect YOUR faith... while allowing YOU to attack and tear down theirs. IF you didn't profess to be a member of the Body of Christ, I would leave you to what you do. Because you profess to BE such, I cannot. Because the Body would not do such a thing. We would, yes, expose the falsehoods of those who CLAIM to know and be "leaders" in that Body, those false prophets and false "christs" (Matthew 24:24; Revelation 2:2, 6, 9, 13-15, 20; 3:9, 16-18).

P.s. waiting to see what new light awaits in the future.


Wasn't that witty of justmom? Were we all supposed to roll on the floor laughing, or what?


Knowing dear 'Mom as I do, I don't think she meant that to BE funny, dear Char. Not at all. Knowing her, I heard her "incredulity" at the fact that more of such "light" will come. To mankind's shame.

Quote:
Again, shame on you!


No, dear, dear Char. No. Shame... on you, dear one. Shame on you... for stubbornly sticking to your "golden calf"... rather than walking in FAITH. Shame on you... that although like Moses, our dear Lord HAS gone up the "mountain" to prepare a way for us... he is NOT dead... can hear US... and we, him... yet you deny this... and keep trying to deny us our proclamation of this. Shame on you... for professing to be a member of Christ's Body... yet, having your faith, love, and loyalty... in a body of people who don't even belong to him. Shame on you... for not telling others the TRUTH: that the Son of God, the HOLY One of Israel and Holy Spirit, JAHESHUA, the Chosen One of JAH (MischaJah)... is not only ALIVE... risen from the dead and grave... and so LIVES... but SPEAKS... and leads HIS Body... HIMSELF... and not through the various manmade organizations that purport to sit in his seat and stand in the Way... and be some kind of mediator/middleman conduit that folks must join to, be apart of, and follow the tenets of... in order to be joined to him!

Shame... on you... dear Char... for not OPENLY professing this truth, as you once were of the mind and heart to do... yet, allowing your hurt feelings... because someone disagreed with you and pointed out your error as to your poor treatment of another... you shrunk back. Shame on you... for listening to earthling man... and putting your trust in them... when we, the Body, were told NOT to put our trust in earthling man... or in nobles... because their breath goes out... and they DIE... just like the rest of us! Shame on you... for trying to point not only non-Body members, but the Body itself... to these men... and their tenets and catechisms, etc., rather than to the HOLY ONE of Israel and Holy Spirit, JAHESHUA, the Chosen One of JAH, who the MOST HOLY ONE of Israel GAVE to mankind... to guide, and lead, and teach them... so that they need any other mediators!

Shame... on... you... dear, dear Char... because you are allowing you FEAR... which fear you acquired when you ran from the traps of the RCC into the trap of the WTBTS, and uncovered yet a deeper wasps nest of lies... but because you lacked the faith to keep moving FORWARD... turned BACK... and wish to take others back with you.

If returning to "Egypt" is what makes you happy, dear one... then, please... by all means: go. We wish you NO harm and mean you NO illwill. We, though... well, at least me and MY household... will keep following the Lamb. Wherever HE goes. And he's not going through the RCC, dear one. Truly. His "dragnet" went through THAT "city" some time ago. True, on occasion some will hear the call to get out of HER... but if you've noticed, most leave her... for the WTBTS. Which is where his dragnet is now. How long in which be in that "city"... only he knows.

But it is to the "inhabitants" of THAT is the "city" that our message to "GET OUT OF 'HER'" is primarily directed, not the RCC. Hopefully, except where YOU bring that "city" (the RCC) up... others will be able to simply move on past "her"... and focus on the other. When YOU bring her up, though, you should expect to receive comments from others as to her "uncleanness." You really should expect nothing less. Especially since YOU have absolutely NO problems pointing out the uncleanness of the WTBTS. Which is fine with US. We just think you should be aware of the three fingers pointing back at the RCC, is all.

Shame on you... for ALL of this... while professing to be a member of the Body of Christ. ALL of this, however, PROVES that you have not yet attained to that position, dear one. But... the Door stands open, still. May you, then... HEAR... when the SPIRIT and his Bride SAY to you (and by say, I mean SAY... as in WORDS):

[b]"Come! Take life's water... free!" [b]

But you would have to come to the One who pours that water out, dear Char... and there is only One who does: the HOLY ONE of Israel and Holy Spirit, JAHESHUA, the Chosen One of JAH (MischaJah), who is the Son and Christ of the MOST HOLY ONE of Israel, JAH of Armies.

May you be given EARS to hear that call, dear one. Indeed, may the undeserved kindness and mercy of MY God and Father, that MOST HOLY ONE... and the love and peace of His Son and Christ... that HOLY One and Holy Spirit... be UPON you... if you TRULY wish it. Truly, dear Char.

My wish for peace for you remains.

A slave of Christ,

Shellamar


The very best way to answer all the malicious, poisonous, deluded and utterly crazy nonsense above is to say, in the teenage vernacular...You wish!

All the above rubbish is not worth answering point by point. There's nothing worth even paying attention to.

It is all just Shelby, once again regurgitating the same old same old, and playing with gusto and relish her favourite new game of "let's see if I can drive Chariklo away this time, and look, folks, she doesn't know Christ!"

He would think otherwise. You go on believing what makes you happy, Shelby. There are about five people here who might even believe some of it.

Char.... I am completely confused by this statement. So, you say....the body IS the church, those that PROFESS....faith IN HER....

Then you say, If we profess union with the body, frankly , its just plain weird!"

WEIRD HOW CHAR? You just said the body IS the church, those that PROFESS FAITH...

Why is is OKAY for YOU to say PROFESS and its weird for US to say PROFESS?

But then you say " profess faith IN HER!. Who's the HER? The RCC? Please tell me I am misunderstanding this?


Then you say....you DO hear his voice ? Then you've said you DONT hear him directly? ...
Then its NOT a VOICE that would identify you as " belonging to him" .....Then you don't talk with him directly but are SURE that we are truly listening to false voices, not His voice! How would you know Char who or what we truly are listening to? Is it because it does NOT agree with the RCC? The VOICE that you identify with hearing over our LORDS voice?
So it must SURELY be a wrong voice?

As to the comments the Pope said on all the news I watched and read, he did say that although he does not judge, " that homosexuality IS sinning, but being GAY is not."
Now I don't care one way or the other whether a person is gay or not, I am a sinner myself. We're ALL in the same boat that is sinking. CHRIST is the only life boat!
You may try to soften how the RCC views gay people. But I will tell you, Catholics and most Christian religions have a BIG problem with their orientation!

I don't really care if he was quoting from the catholic catechism! Why should he be using THAT ( uninspired book like the watchtower publications) over the BIBLE or Holy Spirit as a first choice?
Isn't he supposed to be annointed with this spirit ?...and it teaching Him?.....not the Catechism?

Char, I understand you do not agree with this. I also know you think I follow Shelby. Believe what you want. Okay by me! But you are falsely making an accusation that she shuts up the kingdom to individuals that Jesus has opened the way for.
This is an outright LIE on your behalf. She has repeatedly over and over and over again and we've had this conversation before Char, she has done NOTHING but share our Lord and the way to salvation through him. And that Holy Spirit is FREE!!!! It is a gift to ANYONE who is asking!!!!!

You can't ever say that about the RCC! Nothing has ever been FREE with them!!!!! If it was they wouldn't be hoarding the worlds wealth. Char what are they holding onto this for? Material riches are valueless in the kingdom, can't take em with you!

My sister Shelby words this much better than I ever could right now and my sprit bears full witness with this sharing to you!



No, dear, dear Char. No. Shame... on you, dear one. Shame on you... for stubbornly sticking to your "golden calf"... rather than walking in FAITH.

Whether or not you can understand this, we DO love you and pray that you can have eyes and ears to understand that what you see in the WTBS, you will some day see the same with the RCC so that our Lord Jaheshua, the holy one, son of JAH, the Most holy one of Israel will be ENOUGH for you !

Love to you always
Justmom


You're really a muddled old thing, aren't you, justmom?

Not surprising, because basically you try hard to copy Shelby, but you don't manage her spite because you're basically just a nice person, who is a loyal friend, doing your best to play her Chariklo game as well as you can.

The result is that you don't half go on a bit! :D

Some of these lines you post are just so nasty Chariklo. You resort to this because you are never able to substantiate your views, even from the bible, and when by your own words you're repeatedly exposed as one without scriptural knowledge, and one who doesn't know Christ and who constantly contradicts yourself, you resort to the insults. JustMom doesn't deserve this anymore than Shelby does. I'm afraid it is just a case of 'the truth hurts' isn't it? You are regularly brought down to size here, in no uncertain terms, by Christ's own words that others do have knowledge of. Your responses just make you look even more ridiculous Chariklo I'm afraid. And actually fitting the patronising insult you've thrown out to another: "you really are a muddled old thing, (Char) aren't you?"

I know that the kinder people here...you, all of you, who don't post because you daren't place yourselves against the prevailing tide as I do but contact me supportively elsewhere ...and each of you knows that I fully understand how you feel and don't blame you in the least


If these 'people' exist which I actually doubt, why on earth would they be here feeling like this? And you're suggesting not only do they disagree with people here, in support of you, but are too lily livered to speak up! Pretty pathetic I'd say, not to have the courage of your own convictions even on an Internet forum.

Face it Char, you can't answer point by point. You never have done here, because you can't. If you tried to answer the points you would find yourself actually opposing Jah and Christ whose words you are now calling "rubbish". You might hold yourself in high esteem as a theological intellectual in your little world, but here when it's propounded without truth from the Truth, it counts for less than nothing.

No. You're wrong. It was meant kindly. I do think justmom is a nice person and she is definitely very muddled. I do admire her loyalty to her friend Shelby, though that friendship isn't doing her any good at all. Like you, Loz, to whom the same applies. You are both blinded by Shelby.

Doubt away, Loz. It's a free country. Think what you like. Careful though. Delude yourself too much, and you might end up like Shelby.

JustMom isn't muddled. She articulates truths superbly. It's very rude to suggest otherwise in a desperate attempt to defend your nonsense.

Jolly good. Well done for your loyalty to Shelby, but it is very very VERY misplaced.

Here is the bottom line, Char, because I have had these back and forths with you... and watched you have them with others.

You do NOT back up what you say with scripture. Every time someone asks you to back anything up, you ignore them. Anytime someone asks you to back up an accusation you make against others you ignore that also.

You have gone from... oh, I don't think anyone follows Shelby... to openly accusing people of specifically following Shelby. You have flickered between I do hear, I don't hear, I do hear... you ladies do hear, you don't hear, you do hear some voice, but it is not Christ.

It's gotten tiring. It is the same old attempts that others have made to get people to turn from their faith in Christ. It was mentioned earlier, on this thread or another... that you are doing what all the opposers did to the earlier disciples and apostles... trying to shame people into denying Christ, the Holy Spirit, who speaks and leads them.

You say that the voice we hear is not Christ's... but another's voice... because it is in contradiction to Christ... yet when you are asked to back that up, you do not, and really, you cannot. Then you resort to speaking words that mean nothing, or insults (though you accuse others of such, but one only has to look at your posts in these particular 'debates' to find their lack of substance) because there is nothing to them.

Instead of reacting here, Char, maybe you should think about all of these things. Consider how your loyalty to 'her' (the RCC) is coming before your loyalty to Christ, and that is why you are blinded by HER. You are so busy defending 'her'... that you no longer hear Christ, as you did when you first came here.

But you can hear and see, Char... if you go to Christ, and listen to Him. Ask HIM; listen to HIM.

And of course JM is not muddled. Her faith is her own, and she listens to CHRIST, Himself... the only reason things shared are the same is because each of them is listening to the same source: Christ. Same for anyone who is hearing and following the Spirit of Christ, on this board, and anywhere else in the world.


Peace to you,

tammy

Hello, Tammy, lovely to have you back! :D

I don't back things up?...oh Tammy, at one time I made every effort to do so, but having seen Shelby twist even the words of the Bible to suit her own ends (especially if I post it), frankly, there has seemed little point. It is untrue to say that I no longer back anything up by Scripture, I very often refer to Scripture assuming you will know chapter and verse. Where it might not be known you'll find I do. It is a very very JW habit constantly to be quoting references, as though there is some merit in it.

Yes, I do completely ignore some of the really spiteful and malicious posts, usually from Shelby. Why would I want to give them any attention?

Here we have you, Loz, justmom and...now who else is in the business of hearing a voice? Looking down the list of members, I can see a couple of others who have said they do, but who rarely put in an appearance here, and that's about it. A few other people who are drawn here for one reason or another, and a whole lot of people who used to come and post regularly but now wouldn't be seen dead in the place.

Anyone reading this might remember that there were several moderators who used to be here and used to post. They've pretty well found they couldn't take the nonsense any longer, apart from Outlaw who is good and will always do his duty as he sees it, but right now he is unwell and can't be here.

You are in so very much of a minority. Yet you think you're right!!!!!

Sad.

It is REALLY good to be back. I have missed everyone here.

You do not.

An example please?

Char, I could go back and list how many times someone has asked you to provide an example, and you ignore the request. I will do so, if you don't believe me, because I can... you do it all the time.

Then, when someone else DOES back up what they are sharing, what they have heard in spirit... you do not respond, even when it has been shown that your understanding from your source... is wrong.

You keep putting in adjectives like this... but they have no merit. You tell people that their faith is wrong, that they are muddled, misguided, silly, weird, etc, etc.

Think about the things you are saying to us now. We do not hear Christ... we are listening to another voice altogether (even though you cannot back where anything anyone has shared from Him is wrong... only that it contradicts 'mainstream' or the RCC, but so what? Many are called... FEW are chosen... broad is the path that leads to destruction; narrow is the path that leads to life and FEW find it)

Quote:

Who else?

His sheep.

"My sheep hear my voice."

The more who come to Him, the more who hear Him... fantastic! Praise Jah, and His Son!!

You need to hear this Char, so please pay attention. These ones rarely put in an appearance Char, because of people like how you are being lately. People who will accuse them of being deluded, a follower of Shelby, muddled, weird, crazy, shameful, listening to a 'bad spirit', etc, etc. Some want to share their faith FREE from attack; grow in their faith in CHRIST ALONE, without constantly being on the defense from attack.

When someone professes faith in the Spirit of Christ, and that He is alive, and TRULY speaks... there are always people who cannot allow that and must attack them in any way that might work, to get them to renounce their faith.

Quote:

So?

What difference does this truly make, Char? That some would have turned away, and some would have remained? People join, check a place out, and decide it is not for them, or they do not like it... ALL THE TIME... and in many situations/places.

You are deflecting. Ad hominem. Taking the focus off the things I wrote in my post.

Unfortunately, you don't know as much as you think you know about such things as this... and I am not going to talk about them with you. (Though you did forget Paul)

Quote:

I will just leave this point with Christ's own words:

Matt 22:14

Many are called; but few are chosen.

Matt 7:13

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and [i]many enter through it. [/i] But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and[i] few[/i] find it.


Quote:
Sad.


That you continue to think that great numbers means a person is right... while small numbers means a person is wrong... when it has ALWAYS been only small numbers (a few) who have had the faith to follow Christ (and God uses the small and the foolish)...

Yes. It is sad.


Peace to you, and may you have ears to hear if you wish them.

tammy

"let's see if I can drive Chariklo away this time"

Again, you misrepresent me, dear Char (peace to you!). I was even asked by one moderator once (who might have the courage to step up and say so), whether this board would be better if you were gone. I told him then, as I tell you now, that no, I do NOT think that at all... that you are here for a reason. So, please, again, stop misrepresenting me.

Also, you are overlooking the feature of this board that allows private discussion among members. Not everything has been posted on the open board, for the very reason that dear tec (peace!) mentioned: folks like you who make it unsafe for those who WISH to to come forward and profess their faith... and hearing. Because the purpose of this board was to provide a city of refuge, which refuge you and at least one other have attempted to undermine... we have taken our discussions into an "inner sanctuary." At one time, I would have loved for you to have joined us; unfortunately, I cannot allow that at this time because, again, of YOUR snark, attacks, and attempts to undermine.

Please... consider... if you possibly can... that you truly do not have a clue. As to Christ, as to his Body... and as to what goes on on this forum. You know have as much knowledge... or information... as you think you do.

As for your post... girl... I have to be done, at least with THIS leg of our interchanges. Because it's nothing but more of the same. You will never backup your claims or provide support for what you assert. You can't, dear one. WE all know that. We just hope and pray that YOU will one day realize it... and that you do before the pain of such exposure is very great. Better to care for a wound when it's fresh, dear one... than when it is has been left to fester and so the entire limb must be removed.

Think, dear Char. And pray. And ask. But do so with a CLEAN heart... and on your own... NOT in conjunction with any other... person OR thing.

My wish for peace for you remains... and I THANK you... for all of the many occasions you have provided ME to be able to share the GOOD news about my Lord and so the reason for MY faith.

A slave of Christ,

Shellamar

Good Morning to everyone....

Thank you so much for the love and support you have shown here.

To Char, I do realize you do not agree. Of course you don't. You can't. Because the same things that are so clear to some with reference to the WTBS is the same things with the RCC. You see it with ONE but not the other.
And for those that do, this is why the message seems so repetative, SO SIMILAR.
It is NOT Shelby we are following, it is the SAME one that she follows. Our Lord and savior Jaheshua, the son of Jah the most holy of Israel.

Now I am the first to admit, I do not type any where near as much and as fast as she does. I will admit, I do not have the intellectual knowledge that SHE HAS!
Maybe not even the intellect that YOU HAVE Char.....

But when EVER has that mattered to Jah? it is the hearts that he is searching! It is FAITH that he is looking for!
He did not chose " the wise and intellectual ones, but the foolish things of the world."

The body of Christ is still ONE! With all the members being valuable in HIS EYES, not yours!
All being different, some given 1 talent, some 2,3 or 5! But for ONE purpose .
To minister, share the good news and to bring glory and honor to our father in heaven, and the one that He has glorified as the holy Spirit and told us to listen to and follow.

Because we herald a similar message of this....And it is does not comport with the RCC, you personally have taken it that we listen to a wrong voice.
Yet, although you look to an earthly institution with ONE man although human fleshly and sinful, leading over a billion people, who refers to a non-inspired sets of doctrines for confirmation of beliefs handed down, white-washing teachings ( now called reform or new light) to gain more members to acquire more wealth...An institution that calls themselves "The True Church".... (very similar to the WTBS calling themselves "the truth")...

You do NOT even think it possible to entertain that it could BE YOU Char that could possibly be listening to a strange voice. ???

We have said this before Char, we have gone past organized institutions on earth. Holy spirit is our one and true leader now. It is our lord that is grooming us, teaching us, disciplining us in LOVE and TRUTH. Not an earthly man-made corporation. Not the WTBS, Not the RCC! There is NO difference to some of us! You just don't see it!

It is okay though Char! We will still preach CHRIST!!! We will still preach this Good News!!! The light will still shine in the darkness. How small the flickers may seem, it will overpower the darkneess!
I have Love for you Char, I do!
Always, Justmom

Tammy, you're a great one for wanting examples!

Do you seriously think I'm going to waste my time doing what some of you do, trawling back through thread after thread to find where someone was nasty or something. You all might. You all do. Not me!

Justmom, although Loz thought I was being foul to you, I wasn't. I have absolutely nothing against you at all, and the remark to which Loz objected was not meant nastily at all. It was meant kindly.

I think you are a very good and nice and kind person. I also think you are very intelligent. Don't put yourself down. You are sane and kind. I do think you are very influenced by Shelby, and that isn't in any way to your benefit, but you can't possibly see it now. One day you will, but probably not for a very long time.

As to me being much more intelligent, maybe not. I am very much more experienced in matters to do with God, (and in a way my huge JW mistake added to that experience, but it was not a beneficial experience, albeit educational) purely and simply because I am much older than all of you and because my life has been spent not only in the knowledge of God Father, Son and Holy Spirit) but it has been lived largely within the church in a way few others do.

The reason I care so much about what is happening here is because I know exactly what is happening, and it is for people like you and several others that I do have concern.
