Here is my blog with a piece about Lee Strobel's book...'As someone who came to faith and then to journalism, the opposite way round from Lee Strobel, his story has always intrigued me. It is the true story of how an award-winning investigative journalist, the one-time legal editor of The Chicago Tribune…'

478-480 It appears that perhaps somebody has connections, and it is hard to believe but, Ezekiel 36:26-25-27 Is the explanation for St John 3:3-5. Those two verses are in allegorical form, where Ezekiel wrote plainly. 25 comes after 26 that is the way I experienced it. Your body must be clean to receive the Holy Ghost 30 days later. Any help would be appreciated.

So you literally had a human heart made of actual stone, and then it was physically taken out of you and given a flesh one instead? Right ok.
You had an experience, I don't doubt that. But whether it was from God is the question. You spout off things which go against most normal understandings of Scripture (and I'm talking historically for millennia, not since 1611 or whenever), and think that you are actual Elijah reborn or whatever. That is not normal. If you truly were Elijah, then you would have more respect for the words of Jesus than you display.
As it is though, you and every *other* "Elijah" I've met on forums like this, all have one thing in common at least.. you teach twisted, mixed up doctrines that no one in the history of Christianity has done before. So I'm sure there's some commonality between all your experiences, I'm just not so sure that it's the Holy Spirit..
Stony; in the dictionary 1. covered with or full of stones. 2 of or like stone. 3 hard. 4.unfeeling. 5 cold 6 rigid. 7 petrifying. Do you see any of these actual stone, and these are not an allegory but from the dictionary. God said flesh meaning of like material as your heart is made of, what your mother gave you and not spirit because it came from God.
So what's your point, Mickey? That you had a literal stone heart?
Well yeah, but earlier I read you said you had a literal new heart given to you, right?
Yes, In Ezekiel 36:26 It reads A new heart also will I give you.
489 The King James Bible of 1611 is full of books, chapter, and verses, do you expect to live with God in His kingdom eternally?
Yes, I do. For instruction written to be understood by an earlier generation, we must ask ourselves can this teaching be taken literally. Remember we must always judge our understanding by the spirit and not by the literal statement.
Earlier generation? Literally (Allegorically or parables)? Our understanding by the spirit?? Not by the Bible???
Mickey wrote: "Earlier generation? Literally (Allegorically or parables)? Our understanding by the spirit?? Not by the Bible???"One confirms and complements the other. Note that Biblical teachings are simply a tutor to guide us to higher truths. Isn't it written in the bible , that we should judge by the spirit of the law and not by the letter of the law.
You might find that down town but I don't think you will find it in the Bible. In order for Jesus to get to the cross His Father had Jesus speak allegorically or in Parables. You haven't been with us long. Paul was a false prophet and Ezekiel 36:26-27 happened to me physically, and literally. I don't go to any church that should tell people something.
I don't go to any church...Oh, it tells us something alright...
Which religious organization is the correct Gospel preaching organization? Tell me and I will attend.

There is no correct religious gospel, as there is no correct religion.The King is with us, and he knows there will be a joyous world someday. He has an interview out which is the reason for joining this discussion. Let me know if you're interested.
New blog is up:
So often we hear this phrase said about Jesus, that he was “the lamb of God” and that he “takes away the sins of the world” — but what do those things mean and how did he take away sin?
To better understand the terminology and analogy we need to go back to the Torah, the Old Testament, and look at this from a Jewish perspective and what the sacrificial lamb initially meant and how Jesus fulfills this in himself...

I just happen to know a lot about the Pentecostal religion. I went to one of there churches about ten years for reasons that was not about me. There soul verse was The Acts 2:38 I believe they would have died for that verse. It is the same way that John the Baptist was teaching, and he said himself that his way was not what you need but He that can baptise you with the Holy Ghost. St Matthew 3:11. Then John said it comes from heaven in St John 3:27 and I found out that was true when I was 31 years old. If it never worked for John how can we expect it would work for Peter? Ezekiel 36:26-27 Happened to me physically.
I am with you on that one Mickey; It happened for me also in my 30's and was proof positive for me. I believe that it didn't happen for john and others is because the full baptism of the holy spirit wasn't functional until Christ left and released it into the world . Look at the words of Christ.
"How was a Jesus a sacrifice?"So often we hear this phrase said about Jesus, that he was “the lamb of God” and that he “takes away the sins of the world” — but what do those things mean and how did he take away sin?

503 Luke That is what the preachers tell you that He takes away the sin's of the world. He doesn't, it is a individual phenomenon. That means something experienced or anything extremely unusual. The preachers won't believe me but that is their problem. Your right we have to go to the Old Testament because Jesus spoke allegorically. Ezekiel 36:26 I received a new heart after the heart I was born with was replaced, It was only the beginning of salvation.
Actually Mickey, that's what John the Baptist tells me, not random "preachers". Did you even read my blog?Do you actually read the scriptures, or just those three verses in Ezekiel and bang on about your experience?
Hey everyone, I'm looking for some bloggers who do book reviews. I need some willing souls to read and review The Journey HomeI'm working with the author (Dr. Gene Baillee) and we would love to have some people from the Goodreads community give this book a read through and then leave a review.
If you're interested, just shoot me a message with your email and I can send you the book.
Thanks in advance!

HI everyone!My name is Bob Adauto and I have a Blog!

I concentrate on the simpler side of walking with Jesus! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to share!
It seems that I have been seeking after my masterpiece ever since I was young. My friends thought I was weird because I read books at all. But to carry around those big works of classic literature was doubly weird.I wanted to be a writer ever since I can remember. My father took a course on short story writing. That was priceless. I asked him so many questions about what he was working on and why that it wore him out, I'm sure. He wrote a story called 'Equals in Heaven'. It was a story about a white boxer and a black boxer going toe to toe in the ring. He read me parts of it. I thought it was the greatest story ever written.
I had great expectations then.
I'm older now. In my sixties. But I am still reaching for that high note, as they say in music. How about you?
513 I'm in my eighties James and have been fifty years seeking to get the truth to the public, of the Gospel that Jesus died for, but just today there might be, for the first time, a light at the end of a long tunnel. So far I have only been ripped off, defrauded, lied to, for monetary gain. In your words of wisdom you mentioned fiction and not nonfiction. Did you know that there are verses in the KJB of 1611 that actually mean something? Those fiction books that you mentioned they are just a bunch of crap, that people have made money off of. "Restoring the Shack" the author said he sold 20,000,000 copies. My religiou's book store in town, that is no more, said the Christians will only buy fiction books
There is a heaven to gain and a hell to shun as they say, and I found out there is a heaven. If my light comes on this earth will never be the same, so far I have only been ridiculed and called a lier, but that is Biblical. As you say hitting the high note, but to old to enjoy it, but I believe God planned it this way. He has fulfilled my needs so what more does a prson need,? You can't get more blessed then that. No I don't attend any church, that should tell a person something, and I was saved a a cut rate gas station.

When did I first encounter 'To Kill a Mockingbird'? I have often allowed the destinies of books to guide me, not my own destiny. By that I mean that when a book presents itself to me, I will undertake the reading and study of it. Who knows how the young people of today are going to be initiated into the mysteries of the destiny of books? Some will be, I suppose, and some won't. As it happens, I encountered 'Mockingbird' again with the release of 'Go Set a Watchman', also by author Harper Lee. http://jamesdsanderson.blogspot.com

Some say preparing for an uncertain future shows a lack of faith. Hmmm... What do you think? http://thosewhodwellupontheearth.blog...
Many seem to think they will be able to go through life completely on their own. In the novel 'Those Who Dwell Upon the Earth' it is necessary for a small Christian group to begin to act together in community. How will that be different?http://thosewhodwellupontheearth.blog...
You know how it is with an April dayWhen the sun is out and the wind is still,
You're one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
A cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
A wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you're two months back in the middle of March.
-Robert Frost

You should prepare for an uncertain future.Proverbs 6:6-11 & 1 Timothy 5:8
God will always get you through your troubles and trials but sometimes we need to be able to help the less fortunate as well as ourselves.
I would rather prepare and have a surplus than having to worry about how God was going to work in my life to get me through a trial.
My faith works because I work my faith.
Terry
How do you prepare for all the things that is going to take place in the 24th chapter of St Matthew? Those few that are saved, are going to be removed from the earth. The first thing Jesus said is,"Take heed that no man deceive you, and Paul was the first deceiver."
