The LORD your GOD (YaHWeH your Elohim)

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.


If you're brokenhearted, on your way to prison (or in prison and somehow reading this), blind or deaf or poor, deliverance is only one prayer away.

Will you be delivered? Or will you wallow in your self pity, pride, arrogance and ignorance?

Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Amen & Amen,

Selah!

uhh... what verse are you quoting from exactly?

Or pick one of the many colourful Hindu Gods, you will have much more fun with them or how about praying (Meditating) to Buddha? or how about trying to connect to your past and be a Shintoist for a while.
Heck go old school and pray to Odin and Thor.


My point is don't believe anything anyone else says about Gods, use your own mind and figure it out yourself, don't trust people who preach to you (Like the OP) we have a wonderful gift and that is being able to figure things out for ourselves....so do it, don't let Religion (Man made) which is a tool of man to control you, it is bondage, don't be a slave to religion, figure it out yourself and ignore the crazy people who think they know it all because if God exists we sure arent going to understand any plan of his/her/it.

What was prophesied in the later Prophets, such as Malachi, was the coming of Adonai.
There was a popular idea, at the time of Jesus, of a Messiah.
Jesus did not allow people to proclaim him as such, since apparently he was holding out for a higher position, which as the I Am. This was a title held by a spiritual being, such as the one who Moses approached in the wilderness, who was telling Moses to refer to him as the I Am. This became construed into a name (such as, YHWH). We should ignore this for a minute when considering the person, Jesus, and whether he is the actual person who said this phrase long ago, or if he is the new person to take up this title.
The next thing to consider is if his taking of this title makes him the equivelant, at least in a status type way, to the Old Testament YHWH. I believe that the Book of Hebrews, in the New Testament, makes this very claim. He is just as powerful and authoritative as any God who shows up in the OT stories, but I believe is another person, rather than the various angels who were making the appearances, and that the person who is Jesus was, again, as specified in Hebrews, higher than the angels and was the very likeness of God and was with Him at the beginning.
So the point being, when Jesus said something like, "The acceptable year of The Lord", he meant himself, as The Lord, in an Old Testament sort of way.

What's it matter?

It's all the Word of God speaking.

reply to post by Iason321


It matters a lot if the reader would like to look up the verses you have quoted. Without external quote tags I might add. And no "quotation" marks either.

ETA: The verses in order... Luke 4:18, Matthew 7:12-14.


And here's one for you OP. Proverbs 16:18

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Amen & Amen - but please do not mix your words so with God's words.

Edit - oh wait, they were all God's words, weren't they? My bad. But see the confusion arising when you do not provide citations?

At some point, we will not need doctors, for we have the Great Physician. At this point, I'm sure we could all qualify for some DSM number or other.

Whoa whoa whoa!

Don't shoot the messenger!

I'm just repeating words He already spoke!

Not my will, but His!

Exactly.. you are repeating words already spoken.
So which is why its good if you mention the specific verses that you are quoting from.

And what context are you quoting them in?

You are sounding like a wannabe prophet... are you trying to be one?

Just don't go telling any doctors this, you know that hearing voices is a mental illness don't you?
I used to work with the mentally ill and some said they heard God, Demons etc they didn't, I can ask you to ask God something about me for example "what colour T-shirt am I wearing now" if you ask the voice which you think is God what the answer is and you tell me the right colour heck I will convert but if not I want you to seek help.

Wouldn't a prophet say something new and original instead of repeating something we have all heard before?

reply to post by boymonkey74


Please show me where I EVER claimed I am currently having audible conversations with God,

God has already spoke,

I'm simply a vessel He's using to repeat what he's said.

you forgot Deluded

reply to post by boymonkey74


It's funny you all claim I am some kind of prophet,

I never once even used the word prophet,

That's a little strange?

Gods Word is MIGHTY!

reply to post by boymonkey74


I'm not the one making things up out of my imagination, that's you doing all that nonsense.

reply to post by Iason321


Oh believe me I don't think you are a prophet at all, far from it. I will just call you a sheep bleating the same words other people have bleated AT people to try and convert others into believing what you believe.

Oh add Delusions of grandeur to your list too.

What are you some internet PhD?

Buddy I've studied the DSM-IV front to back, want me to start psychoanalyzing you as well?

You're not gonna get anywhere with this, just move on.
