Thank you!

The Bible/Scriptures are "spiritually" interpreted. It tells us God is a "spirit"; thus, to understand what He has created, i.e. the Scriptures, we must accept His Holy Spirit as a guide. We have access to God's Holy Spirit via being baptised by water and accepting the spiritual rebirth. Then, when you read your Bible, ask the Heavenly Father to guide your learning. Then read and listen "...here a little; there a little..." always finding answers to your questions in another part of the Scripture...not from any man/woman.

To get something out of it you must decide before reading what you hope to get out of it like wisdom, historical records, spirituality, knowledge etc. if you read any book you can get something out of it however insignificant by the way you consider what you read.

Very well stated. Thankyou.

Did Jesus lie??? He trained teachers for others to--HAVE--to listen to them to learn, then in turn those teachers trained--MORE-teachers to train others.
And Gods word clearly teaches that --Jesus himself would--APPOINT--his real teachers( FDS) to give food( spiritual) at the proper time( when God wills--progressive) here in these last days.
trying to do it your way--ends like this--1Cor 1:10)--- a disunified mass of confusion doing it your way.

[Amilius777]

Jesus baptized with fire, which means he baptized with what he taught. The vibrations and crystallized words that sprang from his enlightened mind was like an energy. That energy awakened others just as he was awakened (anointed). He was able with his powerful energy to get others to wake up and realize the truth.

Jesus didn't baptize with water because John baptized with water. He was a lesser seer. Jesus was a greater Seer who could transform people's consciousness and energy by his own enlightened mind and energy.

Baptized with the Holy Spirit can be done nowadays through meditation and prayer. Whenever we are calm, silent, and in a present state of openness we become aware of the Spirit. And there are those today who have the Spirit and can help us reconnect with loved ones, see our futures, see our past lives, and help guide us or heal us.

We went through a dark period in human history a few hundred years ago. Before the birth of Christ, the world was much more opened to the Spirit. In fact the Jews claim that there were over 1,200,000 or more prophets and prophetesses during those ancient times.

People are waking up again, reawaking to that Intelligence because we are evolving.

There is nothing confusing about the state of mankind, a change and fall from what was original, and about Salvation, and Redemption.

About the substitutional sacrifices which God ordained from the beginning of the writings. Which process and practice Jesus, the Lamb of God, is both the Capstone and the Cornerstone, thereof.

As He himself stated... "...My yoke is easy, my burden light, and you will find rest for your souls".
Which many millions now down through the ages have, being recipients of, Salvation.

Who are, and have been, happy to say so.

Here is the worlds HS not from God--- 1Cor 1-10) 33,000 different named religions claiming to be Christian--- Jesus started a single unified worldwide--always no matter what Religion. We each must choose the correct path.
Don't ask that HS( 33,000)--- Do yourself a favor ask the real ---------ONE------ the latter one isn't confused.

The Lord met Abraham in the wilderness, before going on to Sodom. Who appeared to him in three persons.

Who he clearly recognized and addressed as, "Lord".
Two arrived at Sodom.

"God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must do so in Spirit and in Truth."
John 4:24

Confusion comes when we try to percieve the Truth (God) according to our organic, and human standards. Which is errant.
It was Johbiblehub.com/1_john/3-2.htm

It was John who also stated...

"Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when He appears we shall be like him, because we shall see Him as He is."
