God. What's your point?

I was thinking the same, but it's about the Word according to victor that replaces the absent Christ. The essence of this topic is a mind darkly persuaded to replace Truth with bulll$hit and lies. It's really about victor and his sleight of hand. It's about replacing the Christ with victor's word. At its core, this topic is about cult control.

Oh, the irony: the HUGE focus and relentless teachings on devil spirits, like waterhead babies. Because, that which is sacred, holy, eternal, nameless, cannot be realized through conformity to another man's opinions. This awareness cannot come from another. Awareness and perception cannot be taught. It is not systematic. It is not a formula. One cannot BELIEVE one's way to seeing with clarity. This seeing that I'm talking about is beyond all belief, all doctrine, all thought. All a teacher can be expected to do concerning these matters is slap your face when you least expect it. But the awakening must be yours alone. In that moment, it comes without effort, without study; it is instantaneous. What is seen in that moment cannot be unseen.

Jerry Springer takes the place of the absent Maury Povich.

The Word is NOT the Bible, right? The Word is no translation nor version of the Bible, right? But you can see God in the King James Version of the Bible? The god you think you see in that version and translation of the Bible is a god put together by the thoughts of a mortal man, the one who guided you. If one's only source of understanding is the guidance of some man, then one will only understand as that man does. This can only ever be a limited understanding of opinion and private interpretation. One MUST go beyond what one has been taught by mortal man to see that which is eternal, infinite, that which cannot be named by thoughts put together by man.

Spaceballs?

Consider these the following terms. Consider them without context, but consider them in aggregate, then make an inference about their probable place. President Board of Directors Chairman of the Board Vice President Treasurer Secretary Director Coordinator Area Coordinator Branch Director Leader Area Leader HEADQUARTERS Does Church of God come to mind? Household of God? Family of God? Fellowship?

I don't know this one. I have no idea, but the lyrics sound to me like they could have been written by any of those three I mentioned. BTW, I fell in love with gloves during PFAL. The way they fit a hand. The way they don't fit. Everything about them. If I say I'm gonna try on gloves, it literally means nothing. A non sequitur. Like PFAL. I know the rules.

Really!? Wow! Well, whoever it is, I don't think I'll get the song. The three bands I'm guessing is the best I can do on this one. I'm gonna try on some gloves while we're waiting...

Abject wickedness... and sadness. This is how one KNOWS one is/was in a cult or in a narcissistic relationship. Insularity never has been and never will be an aspect of coming into awareness of that which is eternal, that which cannot be named. Only the lie requires belief. Only the liar needs someone to BELIEVE him for his lie to work. Belief has no place where Truth is concerned. Watch. Listen.

Requesting a hint: Is it one of these three bands - Phish, Little Feat or Steely Dan?

Private corporations protected by a tax code ostensibly bolstered by the First Amendment. Why are human rights offenses perpetrated by these religious corporations tolerated, even permitted, even sanctioned by an enlightened society? It's regressive and vulgar. Let them be treated as they are - for-profit corporations. If they endeavor charitable, altruistic actions, let them deduct those, as can I. The atrocities one is allowed in this country, if only he can get himself called reverend!

Likely in Cameroon, Congo, The Democratic Republic of Congo, or Venezuela, where these poor people have been victims of dictatorial, autocratic regimes for generations. Though Cameroon* may not be as politically brainwashed as the others, they suffer great internal division, nonetheless. These are ripe, societal Petri dishes for the propagation of bull$hit and lies. That's the foundational strategy. That's why the current WOWs are in those countries... and Florida. *Going off memory. I'm fully open to being corrected on this.

Well done. Mmmmmmph

johniam, in a post on the trinity asset/liability thread that he started, cited the movie The Omen as some kind of evidence for his theological proposition. He had to learn that tactic somewhere. Some people really can't go beyond what they are taught.

Maybe he got it from a movie. This scene from The Last Temptation of Christ depicts devil spirits manifested as beasts - a cobra and a lion. This is an awesome scene. A scene from a film. That's all it is, a movie. It doesn't pretend to be anything else. It's NOT a sermon. It's NOT a "class." IMO, it's an underrated cinematic masterpiece from Scorsese with a brilliant performance by Willem Dafoe and a sublimely beautiful soundtrack by Peter Gabriel. This film is so misunderstood.

Well done, T-Bone! Lots to comment on here, but I can barely see through these tears of laughter to type anything. The Lifelines didn't directly cause me to laugh, they merely allowed me to laugh. A profoundly deep ignorance and contempt for Truth is required to buy into these Lifelines. A hatred of Truth. James Sebastian sounded like a wierwille acolyte to me. I thought someone here might recognize his name. Could be Mike's pseudonym.

Apparently, there's more detail in another of Bullinger's books. From James K. Sebastian's blog: In the Old Testament, God uses the “Idiom of Permission,” to conceal the enemy. In his book, “Figures of Speech used in the Bible”, E W Bullinger explains the Idiom of permission in this manner: “Active verbs were used by the Hebrews to express not the doing of the thing, but the permission of the thing which the agent is said to do.”

Yeah, I'm not sure Idiom of Permission is an idiom. The usage of idiom is awkward at best, probably inaccurate, dishonest at worst. I'm still investigating this. (Which means I'm searching again what I missed the first time - RE-searching.) As someone else pointed out, it's about converting active verbs into passive verbs for God. Why? Who knows! Maybe the hands won't fit the gloves, so you've got to MAKE them fit. A recent article in The Way Magazine handles the verb "to be", "being", "is" as it applies to God. The article insists that in the original, where they wish you could read it bless your heart, "being" SHOULD BE read "is becoming." The article goes through great pains and fantastic feats of illogic to arrive at this opinion asserted as a claim of fact. But I ask: If one is becoming, does that not imply one is incomplete? It seems to me becoming is like evolving, unfinished, not yet mature. So God is becoming something He is yet to be? In the future He will have completed his becoming so he can finally just be? God is not perfect, He is becoming perfect? May I also ask? What in the actual f__k!?!?!?

I have thought a lot about this claim. It's pure bullsh¡t in the Frankfurtian sense. It may be a lie, also. The factual truth is one most definitely can go beyond what one is taught. It happens all the time. In the case of victor's teaching, one MUST go beyond what one is taught.
