| The importance of Spiritual understanding. | |

| I see there is talk about Spiritual knowledge verses | |
| relationship. I will put this in my own words and understanding | |
| and as much as I hate using this phrase , ( it is my opinion ) | |
| It is, my opinion. | |
| Jesus said in a time at judgement he would separate the sheep | |
| from the goats. The wheat from the chaff. There is where he | |
| said . so many would worship him but in vain. He said so many | |
| would say they did things in his name and he told then, I tell | |
| you the truth, I know you not. | |
| How can we have a relationship with Jesus if we know him not | |
| and what is this? Jesus is risen, he is not the flesh anymore, | |
| if you take the things literally, you do not know Jesus, his | |
| kingdom is not of this world. If your desire is about things and | |
| for things of this world, it is to this world you belong. When | |
| you ask and teach with the thoughts of the people of this world, | |
| you speak with and idolatris mind and without spiritual | |
| knowledge you mind is Idol, not growing spiritually. | |
| Now some spiritual knowledge is being feed to the people and | |
| people question its value. It is the only thing you can be saved | |
| by, it is the teachings of the holy Spirit and discerned by him | |
| which is to say , to understand the things spiritually is to | |
| have a full manifestation of the word. It is to know God and his | |
| son. | |
| As for the old testament, the literal understanding of the | |
| carnal mind speaks of God commanding his people to kill, even | |
| animals and babes. It says God drowned the whole world and | |
| people worshiping God that way are not worshiping God at all. | |
| That is SATAN. | |
| Jesus said the whole world would be deceived at this time and | |
| the Spirit would be dead. That already happened and now the | |
| Spirit is coming to us threw his teaching and you want to | |
| compare them to the carnal mind and say that is knowing Jesus | |
| and having a relationship with him. Absolute foolishness. | |
| People want to go to heaven, you have to walk in the light, | |
| the spiritual understanding is that light. It is the washing | |
| your robes with the blood of Jesus, the baptism of the holy | |
| spirit and the revealing of the truth. If you do not understand | |
| the Spiritual teachings , Jesus has come upon you as a thief. | |
| Without it you cannot cloth him , give him to drink, You cannot | |
| give him to eat or visit him when he was imprisoned. The | |
| literal is the darkness people imprison him in. | |
| Without the spiritual understanding a man breaks every | |
| commandment of God and his son's too. | |
| If you want to believe hair makes a man strong or animals | |
| talk and you believe that, you do not know the Lord, you do not | |
| know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, you blaspheme the | |
| Lord every time you speak. | |

| [font=trebuchet ms]Yes, I think it is good you added "in my | |
| opinion" at the start of your post. ;) | |

| Why can't we have both, because one is against God while the | |
| other is with God. You cannot enter the kingdom with two eyes, | |
| you must pluck one out. You cut off the hand that offends you. | |
| You cannot have two masters. It is not God's will we live by | |
| the sword. It is wrong to lie and deceive. The blind cannot lead | |
| the blind, they will fall into a pit. The true church teaches | |
| truth. You cannot keep committing Spiritual adultery. I can fill | |
| this whole site with reasons. | |

| [font=trebuchet ms]Colin, | |
| Slow down. Relationship. Do you not have a relationship with | |
| the Lord? | |
| I'm getting a bit lost here. :( | |
| I have a relationship with the Lord. Are we talking about the | |
| same thing? | |
| Relationship, as in a connection between myself and the Lord. | |
| As in, He is with me. He hears me speak to Him. He teaches me. | |
| He guides me in my study and in my life. He is my friend, my | |
| king, my Savior. I am with Him and He is with me every minute | |
| of every day.[/font] | |
