61 | is it ok to pray publically? | John 11:42 | He-man | 139072 | ||
Contrary to popular belief the act of praying is not a public display, but a simple private act between God and man.The manisfestation is revealed in 2Cor 4:1-2, Matt 17, Mark 9, Luke 9 see below: Matthew 6:5-8 5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 2 Corinthians 4:1-2 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. Transfiguration, The. (The event in the earthly life of Christ which marks the culminating point in his public ministry, and stands midway between the temptation in the wilderness and the agony in Gethsemane. Matt. 17:1–13; Mark 9:2–13; Luke 9:28–36. Place.—Though tradition locates the transfiguration on Mount Tabor, there is little to confirm this view, and modern critics favor Mount Hermon, the highest mountain-top in Gaulanitis, or one of the spurs of the Anti-Lebanus. Time.—The transfiguration probably took place at night, because it could then be seen to better advantage than in daylight, and Jesus usually went to mountains to spend there the night in prayer. Matt. 14:23–24; Luke 6:12; 21:37. The apostles were asleep, and are described as having kept themselves awake through the act of transfiguration. Luke 9:32. The actors and witnesses.—Christ was the central figure, the subject of transfiguration. Moses and Elijah appeared from the heavenly world, as the representatives of the Old Testament, the one of the law, the other of prophecy, to do homage to him who was the fulfillment of both. Mr. Ellicott says, “The close of the ministry of each was not after the ‘common death of all men.’ No man knew of the sepulchre of Moses, Deut. 34:6; and Elijah had passed away in the chariot and horses of fire. 2 Kings 2:11. Both were associated in men’s minds with the glory of the kingdom of the Christ. The Jerusalem Targum on Ex. 12 connects the coming of Moses with that of the Messiah. Another Jewish tradition predicts his appearance with that of Elijah.” Moses the lawgiver and Elijah the chief of the prophets both appear talking with Christ the source of the gospel, to show that they are all one and agree in one. St. Luke, Luke 9:31, adds the subject of their communing: “They spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.” Among the apostles the three favorite disciples, Peter, James, and John, were the sole witnesses of the scene—“the sons of thunder and the man of rock.” The event itself.—The transfiguration or transformation, or, as the Germans call it, the glorification, consisted in a visible manifestation of the inner glory of Christ’s person, accompanied by an audible voice from heaven. It was the revelation and anticipation of his future state of glory, which was concealed under the veil of his humanity in the state of humiliation. The cloud which overshadowed the witnesses was bright or light-like, luminous, of the same kind as the cloud at the ascension.

62 | Unless you are "Jesus Whom Paul preaches | Acts 19:13 | He-man | 139071 | ||
I will let James and Paul answer for me:James 1:13,14,15 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Galatians 1:8,9 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

64 | monotonous practices and rituals | Acts 19:13 | He-man | 139052 | ||
The question is:Do you believe the Bible? 2 Timothy 3:16 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: You did not answer my question :What is Hypnosis? Acts 19:13 I guess you didn't understand the question? What I mean is exorcists "also undertook to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits". Unless you are "Jesus Whom Paul preaches", What is Hypnosis? Is it a variety of monotonous practices and rituals "ceremony" (church services) surrounding hypnosis, rather than hypnosis per se? Or do they claim to be Jesus? Hypnosis is a social interaction in which one person responds to suggestions given by another person the hypnotist for imaginative experiences involving changes in perception memory AND THE VOLUNTARY CONTROL OF ACTION. Hypnosis also may be self-induced, by trained relaxation, concentration on one's own breathing, or by a variety of monotonous practices and rituals that are found in many mystical, philosophical, and RELIGIOUS systems. After the person’s eyes are closed, further suggestions for various imaginative experiences are given. For example, individuals might be asked to extend their arms and imagine a heavy object pushing their hands and arms down or to hear a voice asking questions over a loudspeaker (OR A PREACHER SAYING shout HALLELUJAH!). Or, the hypnotist might suggest that when they open their eyes, they would not be able to see some object that has been placed in front of them. Posthypnotic suggestions may also be given for responses to occur after hypnosis has been terminated, including POSTHYPNOTIC AMNESIA, the inability to remember events and experiences that took place during hypnosis. It s possible that many clinical benefits of hypnosis are mediated by placebo-like motivational and expectational processes -- that is, with the "ceremony" (church services) surrounding hypnosis, rather than hypnosis per se.

The very foundation of a supposedly popular satanic belief and not even one mention of this major event in NT bible? It may be gathered from the prophetical Scriptures and from Josephus that the conquest of Jerusalem was rapidly followed BY THE FALL of Tyre and the complete submission of Phœnicia, in Ezek. 26–28 The wealth, greatness, and general prosperity of Nebuchadnezzar are strikingly placed before us in the book of Daniel. Other historians, Eusebius and Berosus, also confirm the account. There are no direct quotations from Ezekiel in the New Testament. Thank you for your comments BradK..

We were alone and he started praying. He then said "as soon as you feel the power of the Holy Spirit raise your hand and shout hallelujah". I immediately shot up my hand and shouted hallelujah, as fast as I could because he almost had me hypnotized. I kept quiet to see what he would say. He gave me post-hypnotic suggestions that I would no longer smoke or chase after women and a bunch of other things! Be carefull not to be fooled by imitators of Christ! |

Yes, I also read the words "after his kind" "Good" so are you trying to say the snake was after His kind like Moses or Dan and it was good for Adam to be drawn into sin? Genesis 1:25 25 And God made the beast of the earth AFTER HIS KIND, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was GOOD. Genesis 6:7 7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. Leviticus 11:21 21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth; Genesis 49:17 17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. The Cerastes, or the Naia haje, or any other venomous species frequenting Arabia, may denote the “serpent of the burning bite” which destroyed the children of Israel. The snake that fastened on St. Paul’s hand when he was at Melita, Acts 28:3, was probably the common viper of England, Pelias berus. [See also Adder; Asp.] when God punished the murmurs of the Israelites in the wilderness by sending among them serpents whose fiery bite was fatal, Moses, upon their repentance, was commanded to make a serpent of brass, whose polished surface shone like fire, and to set it up on the banner-pole in the midst of the people; and whoever was bitten by a serpent had but to look up at it and live. Num. 21:4–9. The comparison used by Christ John 3:14, 15, adds a deep interest to this scene. To present the serpent form, as deprived of its power to hurt, impaled as the trophy of a conqueror, was to assert that evil, physical and spiritual, had been overcome, and thus help to strengthen the weak faith of the Israelites in a victory over both. Others look upon the uplifted serpent as a symbol of life and health, it having been so worshipped in Egypt. The two views have a point of contact, for the primary idea connected with the serpent is wisdom. Wisdom, apart from obedience to God, degenerates to cunning, and degrades and envenoms man’s nature. Wisdom, yielding to the divine law, is the source of healing and restoring influences, and the serpent form thus became a symbol of deliverance and health; and the Israelites were taught that it would be so with them in proportion as they ceased to be sensual and rebellious.Preserved as a relic, whether on the spot of its first erection or elsewhere, the brazen serpent, called by the name of Nehushtan, became an object of idolatrous veneration, and the zeal of Hezekiah destroyed it with the other idols of his father. 2 Kings 18:4.

Sorry, but this refers to: Don't be fooled by Isaiah 14:12 or Ezekiel 28:11. It has nothing to do with a satan The word itself, the Hebrew saÆtaÆn, is simply an "adversary," (not a thing with a pitchfork and horns) Isaiah 12:4 tells exactly who it is addressed to : 4That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! And not some superhuman being! Ezekiel 28:11 says the King of Tyrus: Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 12Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus,...... Lucifer is translated a bright and morning star Lu´cifer (light-bearer), found in Isa. 14:12, coupled with the epithet "son of the morning," clearly signifies a "bright star," and probably what we call the morning star. It is with the scriptural revelation on the subject that we are here concerned; and it is clear, from this simple enumeration of passages, that it is to be sought in the New rather than in the Old Testament.

I and many historians dispute that and here is why: CARBUNCLE. This word represents two Hebrew words. The first may be a general term to denote any bright, sparkling gem, Isa. 54:12; the second, Ex. 28:17; 39:10; EZEK 28:13, is supposed to be the smaragdus or emerald! Prophecy of Ezekiel.—The book is divided into two great parts, of which the destruction of Jerusalem is the turning-point. Chapters 1-24 contain predictions delivered before that event, and chs. 25-48 after it, as we seen from ch. 26:2. Again, chs. 1-32 are mainly occupied with correction, denunciation and reproof, while the remainder deal chiefly in consolation and promise. A parenthetical section in the middle of the book, chs. 25-32, contains a group of prophecies against seven foreign nations, the septenary arrangement being apparently intentional. There are no direct quotations from Ezekiel in the New Testament. He next proceeded to strengthen and beautify the city, which he renovated throughout and surrounded with several lines of fortifications, himself adding one entirely new quarter. Having finished the walls and adorned the gates magnificently, he constructed a new palace. In the grounds of this palace he formed the celebrated "hanging garden," which the Greeks placed among the seven wonders of the world. But he did not confine his efforts to the ornamentation and improvement of his capital. Throughout the empire, at Borsippa, Sippara, Cutha, Chilmad, Duraba, Teredon, and a multitude of other places, he built or rebuilt cities, repaired temples, constructed quays, reservoirs, canals and aqueducts, on a scale of grandeur and magnificence surpassing everything of the kind recorded in history, unless it be the constructions of one or two of the greatest Egyptian monarchs. The wealth, greatness, and general prosperity of Nebuchadnezzar are strikingly placed before us in the book of Daniel. Other historians, Eusebius and Berosus, also confirm the account He next proceeded to strengthen and beautify the city, which he renovated throughout and surrounded with several lines of fortifications, himself adding one entirely new quarter.
