Well, considering the traditional interpretation of the cross is true, and many "wise" and "enlightened" people like to add in different interpretations, I would say there's no contradiction here.

Ummm, the Cross? Where dit it enter the discussion?
Actually, there are several traditional interpretations, depending, of course, on which Cross you are referring to.
The contradiction I was referring to is the manner that society, includeing you, tends to condemn minorities. If a single, or few, people act, beleive, differenty; they tend to be persecuted. Many times wrongly. The primary cause of this is simple fear. People tend to fear what they don't understand. Tis a sad state, but has been a part of Human behavior since the advent of your species. Personally I prefer the Wolf method; peek out from behind a tree (cover), at least then you can do a threat assesment from a relative place.

What minority are you talking about?
Most of this world doesn't believe and is going to hell. The minority are those who know the truth, not just believe.
You have had experiences with magic, but I have had experience without it.
It's not that I don't understand it; it's that I know it's false.
I know there are seducing spirits and foolish humans assuming they are nice.
It's not that there's good magic and bad magic; it is all bad for the soul and the ultimate fate of an individual.
Disobedience is the fall of man--having no faith in God when He says don't do it and beware spirits that preach a false gospel--not lack of esoteric knowledge or power.
Luke chapter 12:13 Your treasure is Eternal Life. Heaven, not things of earth
It was the thirst for knowledge that caused the fall of man, the pride and presumption of disobeying God. Any way you spin it you can't be following the same God monotheists do, because the occult is forbidden, and the religions are about resisting the temptation to sin. Rather you interpret it as being forbidden simply because it can be dangerous, not because it is a sin. How are we going to discuss anything if your god is my devil?

I completely disagree with your premises. We just have different world views.
Seducing spirits, well, SEDUCE you. They interact with you in ways that make you believe what they want you to. Just because they don't harm you or make you uncomfortable doesn't mean they are positive spirits. You can have many experiences and still be wrong. Have you thought about what it means if the aliens you've encountered are actually demons?

Again, I repeat, my faith is not blind, but based on God answering my prayers to give me an experience that would force me to believe if I were intellectually honest.edit on 7-5-2011 by 547000 because: (no reason given)

Daphne how cool is it that you posted Arnold Murrey. I can't think of anyone I'd rather hear teach. Tremendous
mind stoked in the Holy Spirit. I can't remember him saying anything I disagreed with.

You stated that I have "no understanding" of the scripture I posted when I did not even offer up interpretation of those passages? It is assumptious exchanges like that which make it difficult to engage fruitfully with you, because in your mind, I'm already summed up it seems as some 'second-grader' as you yourself put it. You are free to your perceptions of the powers guiding my journey of experience, spiritual discernment and knowledge.
he path of Grace with divine guidance and soul protection (though not always flesh protection) is very simple. When the Creator is pleased with our hearts, actions and our intentions, we are granted the Divine Graces to recognise/acknowledge/know things beyond any teachings of any books and man to 'automatically' energetically recognise and reject the things not of a Holy frequency and beneficial to our path of progression. Can you believe it's really that simple?
Do you even acknowledge that all is made possible by the Creator if it is His will to make it possible?
You are human and fallible and if you think you can 'master' demonic forces you could never fully understand in totality with your limited embodied capacity, without such forces counteracting (for every action is reaction) with energetic interference on your own soul being---then that my brother is the lacking of wisdom.
Do you acknowledge that ALL works of handed down knowledge of 'magick' could have come from 'unholy deceiving spirits' to tempt and corrupt the will of mankind? Or is that 'too simple' a concept to challenge your intellect?
I don't doubt your intelligence for a second and I would applaud good works from such, however I am concerned about the influence of the Holy Spirit (or lack of) on your path.
The greatest Truths are often the simplest, which is why children are often closest to the Creator in consciousness. Because the path to Grace and evolution is easy when we don't complicate everything with our ego mind mechanism and possibly maybe that's what we our meant to overcome, always remaining in heart (innocence, purity, trust in faith) for all wisdoms to be received. LOVE (expressed through knowledge of what is righteous) is the key that Christ demonstrated for all our sake of showing us the way to aspire to evolve, though of course we all fall short and the Creator knows this and loves regardless.
BTW, to say that you only want a 'brother' who understands Truth is a very elitist-like statement if you were serious--because I was only kidding around with my 'demoted' comments.
We are all in fellowship here as 'family' and that is something the Illuminati need to better grasp via 'positive' 'good' actions towards love/spirit of unity/state of grace, however I understand this is extremely difficult, for they have been heavily indoctrinated from a young age with their generational corruptions in belief that they are here to be negative.
The path of Light Truth states that although evils will occur upon the Earth, woe be unto ALL those that do them.

I won't pretend I know how to encourage you, when I obviously don't know enough about you, to do that. So how about if I say simply, that I want to encourage you to be strong. We must all look at suicide for the weak and selfish act that it is. In order to prevent it. We do have something in common. As I know someone I have to worry about in this way.
Yes, if I'm flipping thru channels looking for something to view. Then I come across Pastor Murray I stop and listen to him. He is one of the sweetest human beings as well. And he includes questions about Aliens almost everytime he does his letters.
Take care Daphne.edit on 7-5-2011 by randyvs because: (no reason given)
