1 | rapture question | Matt 24:27 | bobmoy | 695 | ||
One of the levels that the Book of Revelation that the Holy Spirit reveals to those of us who have the spiritual gift of wisdom and apply the understanding of love to the analysis is that the book can be viewed as a story of the spiritual journey that we take as we "see" the Kingdom of God when we are born again and then proceed to "enter" the Kingdom of God as we evole into the spiritual beings that God wants us to be. Thus the "seven" churches are places on our own individual path to perfect love that we can overcome if we understand what each obstacle is. | ||||||
2 | Is John 6:66 the answer to 666 riddle? | John 6:66 | bobmoy | 3010 | ||
I agree with you. Please enjoy this comment about the actual 666 verse in revelation. I gave a number to each letter in our alphabet. A was 1, B was 2, etc. I know that Jesus is the Christ. I added up the numbers in the name of Jesus. The five numbers added up to 74. I know that the opposite of Christ is the anti-Christ (our spiritual nature vs. our human nature). I divided 666 by 74 and obtained the number 9. The letter "I" is the number "9" in the code. I am the anti-Christ in my human nature until I decide to become like Christ. Have a blessed Easter. | ||||||
3 | If I love do I have eternal life? | Rom 3:28 | bobmoy | 2549 | ||
I agree that faith is the single condition for eternal and everlasting life. The issue is faith in what. Faith in Jesus Christ? Faith in God? Faith in the Holy Spirit? Faith in The Trinity? Faith in a Higher Power? John 3:16 would seem to say Faith in Jesus Christ, the son of God. John 5:24 would seem to say Faith in God, the father of Jesus Christ. I did my own Bible study about the words "eternal life" and "everlasting life." The King James Version used "everlasting life" as the words following John 3:16 and John 5:24. The KJ Version used "eternal life" when Jesus told the lawyer to love God, his neighbor and himself and when Jesus told the rich young ruler to keep the commandments. In my Bible study, I found a suggestion that stated that both "eternal life" and "everlasting life" referred to time. Eternal life referred to the Greek belief that there is only timelessness after we die our physical death and that normal linear time of hours, minutes and seconds no longer exist. On the other hand, everlasting life is the on going experience of time as we know it. Using this explanation, it is my opinion that "everlasting life" is based on knowing by faith that Jesus Christ is the son of God because both God and Jesus tell us that He is the Son of God. "Eternal Life" is based on knowing by faith that God exists and that all of us are forgiven if we ask for forgiveness and if we forgive others. It is my opinion that those of us who "know" that Jesus is the son of God do not have to wait for the end of the age to meet Jesus at the Judgment seat. The other people who do not know that Jesus is the son of God must wait to see Jesus until the end of the age. In both cases, every knee shall bow and every tougue still must confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Any thoughts? Have a terrific Thursday. | ||||||
4 | If I love do I have eternal life? | Rom 3:28 | bobmoy | 2715 | ||
John 5:24 says faith in God. Jesus says faith in God. Jesus came to help us find faith in God. One way of having faith in God is to have faith in Jesus Christ. Another way to have faith in God is to live like Jesus. Revelation 19 tells us to Have faith in God because Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophesy. Have a Super Saturday. | ||||||
5 | If I love do I have eternal life? | Rom 3:28 | bobmoy | 2786 | ||
This is exactly what Jesus said. Jesus said I an the Father are one. In John 5:24, Jesus tells me that if I believe in God and if I hear his message about loving others as He loved me, I will have eternal life. Likewise, in John 3:16, Jesus tells us that we need only to believe in Him and we have eternal life. But we also know that faith without works is dead. I must also love. If I do not love, I am nothing. If I love, I am something. Have a Super Sunday? | ||||||
6 | Blue marbles roll faster than red ones | Rev 19:4 | bobmoy | 693 | ||
Please tell me more. The origin of the Urantia Book that I read reportedly came from a group of people in Chicago who submitted questions to a person who responded with the answers from "out there" in the early 1900's. After 30 years of editing the information received from "out there," the first edition was published in 1955. The Urantia Foundation in Chicago is the organization that governs future editions and translations into other languages. | ||||||

The Urantia Book in my opinion is a two-edged sword. The information in the first three sections devoted to what takes place in our universe and how we were created is information that we do not need to know. If a reader of the book in not grounded on the knowledge that Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord, the reader will be led astray and follow the path of darkness and his brain circuits will follow the path of the Evil One. If the reader is grounded in the faith of Jesus Christ, the fourth section devoted to the life and teachings of our Master, Friend and King will enhance the reading of the Gospels. The scenes of the life of Jesus unfold before our eyes. I use the fourth section as a Bible commentary to enahance my study of the Scriptures. I have found that the fourth section lines up completely with the words of Jesus in the four Gospels. However you are right. Satan is a master counterfeiter. So unless you go to only the fourth section in the book, you should not go there. Unless you are not grounded in unconditional love, you should not go there. If you are grounded, go to one chapter in section four, read it, and see if it lines up with the Word of God. Have a wonderful Wednesday. | ||||||

I have been asked to share some information about a revelation-type of document called The Urantia Book. The 2000-plus page publication was published by The Urantia Foundation in 1955. Printings are in quantities of 50,000. About 1,000000 copies have been sold by only word-of-mouth advertising from Urantia readers. According to reports, the book was produced by more than 400 experts who were told to prepare questions for God regarding the need for additional knowledge and understanding in their fields of expertise. These questions were submitted. The answers came from "out there." About half of the book is devoted to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. I have found this half of the book to be accurate and it lines up completely with the words of Jesus that he spoke in The Bible. I use this half of the book as a commentary that helps me with my own Bible study and teaching. That's the good news. The bad news is that Satan is a master counterfeiter. Unless the believer is grounded on his belief that Jesis is the Son of God and that we are hear to love without conditions, the Urantia reader can be led astray with the information contained in the rest of the book. Thus the book can be used for both good and evil. If you decide to look at the book, please do not read it completely. Let the holy spirit lead you to one of the 196 chapters. Read that chapter. Meditate on that chapter. If the holy spirit says go ahead, select another chapter. If you have additional questions about The Urantia Book, please e-mail me at bobmoy@wcnet.org. | ||||||

Thanks for your opinion. The "testing" of the spirit is to not judge by appearance but to evaluate by righteousness. As I said, I find The Urantia Book to be on target regarding the words of Jesus that Jesus says in the book. I find those words to be accurate and that they line up with the rest of the words of Jesus that he said in The Bible. I live my life based upon the words of Jesus as reported both in The Bible and in The Urantia Book. Judge not unless you ask questions first. Then judge by righteousness. Have a blessed day. | ||||||
11 | Have you ever looked at Urantia Book? | Rev 19:4 | bobmoy | 832 | ||
The words that Jesus says in The Urantia Book are true. These descriptions of the events of his life gives us greater depth of who, what, when, where, why and how he lived and went about his Father's business. The descriptions reveal Jesus as he walked and talked among us. The added details of his walk provide the beauty of this man and show how he loved us without conditions. Yes, you are correct about the cult aspects of the book. We are called to enjoy the wheat and throw away the chaft. One Urantia Reader did just that. He published only the section of the book devoted to the life and teachings of Jesus. His version tells the true story of the wonderful men we call Savior, Lord, Master, Friend and King. I only tell people to go to the chapters about Jesus unless they are seeking an answer to a question such as who the 24 elders are. This is the good news of The Urantia Book. I believe The Urantia Book plays a role in the final drama before Christ returns. I personally believe the Urantia Book is the scroll that Daniel was told to seal up until the end of the age. The words of Jesus that are reported in The Urantia Book may also be one of the two witnesses (The Bible being the other) that appear in the Book of Revelation. These of course of only the opinions of a servant of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Have a blessed day. | ||||||

Well said. You are a wise man. Yes, all of The Urantia Book is valid and accurate. The problem is that there is too much information given. This information in the other three sections is information that I do not need to have to love God, love myself, love my neighbor and love my enemy. Remember the movie, The Man Who Knew Too Much. This is the problem with having too much information, knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. If we are not anchored in being a servant for Jesus, we can take this information and use is for power and control. I watched a man read the Urantia Book and go insane because he had too much information. Power corrupts. This is the danger contained within The Urantia Book. So now you know the rest of the story as Paul Harvey would say. Thank you for your insight. So if The Urantia Book is the scroll that Danial was told to keep sealed until the times of the end, what do we do about it? Have a good Friday. | ||||||

Thank you for your opinion and judgment about me. Jusus came to show us the way to the Father. Worship God becasue Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophesy (Rev. 19). Thank you for putting me down so you can build yourself up. Yes, the Scriptures are man-made. However, the words of Jesus that are printed in The Bible are accurate and true. In the beginning was The Word. And The Word was made Jesus and lived with us. The Word was not made "book". Jesus is The Word. And the words that Jesus said are true. I live my life by the words that Jesus said that are reported by the four Gospel writers. If I live my life according to the teachings of Jesus and only Jesus, I do not think I will wind up in Hell. Do you agree? | ||||||

Thank you for your opinions. I will make one final stab at my point of view. I believe in the words that Jesus said in The Bible. I believe in the message that Jesus gave us in The Bible. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that "He who hears my words and believes in the God who sent me shall have everlasting life. I believe that God is love. I try to love without conditions. I try to love God, myself, my neighbors and my enemies the same. I love you. Therefore, I am not a troll. Name calling is not good. I am a servant and friend of Jesus Christ, my Savior, Lord, Master, Friend and King. Who are the 24 elders? I offered a list of names. Now we can move on to other verses. Have a good day. | ||||||
