may you have peace... and (((((((((((AAF)))))))))))) back at 'cha!
I started to respond to this thread, and the Spirit directed me to read your other reply first, which I did. I have now been sent back to respond here, if you will indulge me. Thank you!
You stated/ask:
I have read many of your past posts here and this last one of yours on this thread. I have a question for you: are you a Prophetess - serving who?
I can only say to you that I am a good-for-nothing-slave, called by the Most Holy One of Israel, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, whose name is JAH... of Armies (Psalm 68:4)... through His Son and Christ, my Lord and Master, JAHESHUA MISCHAJAH... the One who comes in the NAME of JAH... to serve His people, Israel... and those who go with them... first... and then all of mankind, as my "neighbor" afterward. I worship God, JAH of Armies... through His Son and Christ, my Lord, JAHESHUA MISCHAJAH. And I slave... for Christ. Willingly.
I suggest you attentively ponder on the Holy Scriptures rather than making observations out of your own understanding if you consider yourself a true Christian -
As a true christian... I can do NOTHING of my own initiative, nor can I speak as I do from my own understanding. Indeed, rather THAN lean upon my OWN understanding... in ALL of my ways... I try to take notice of JAH and let HIM make my paths straight. What I share, then... is what is given me... by my Lord. And so, just as I hear... I obey. And all that he has given me TO speak... is indeed written in the scriptures. For as my Lord has said to me: "All that I will tell you is written; however, not all that is written is what I will tell you."
What he meant by this is that all that he tells me... and I endeavor to share with those he has sent me to... is written, but not necessarily contained in the Bible. For the Bible... is not "scripture." And if you were a true christian, you would know that.
For you would know that the "Bible" is merely a compilation of various writings, including scripture, as well as histories, chronologies, records and letters. You would know that while scripture is inspired, the Bible is not; even Luke himself attests to that, saying that he received what he did NOT from holy spirit... but from the testimony of others (eyewitnesses)... and that he wrote NOT by instruction from God through Christ (which is how true prophets are directed to write), but at the behest of Theophilus, a non-christian who wanted to know what was occurring between the "christians" and the Jews.
Luke 1:1-4; Acts 1:1 You would know that our Lord himself had recorded for us what IS scripture... the Psalms, Moses and the Prophets... and John's revelation... and that all such ones attest to being led by the spirit and/or are attested to as being led by the spirit.
Luke 24:27, 32, 44, 45 Please note, that at the time my Lord was showing his disciples "from the Scriptures"... nothing past Malachi had been written. This is WHY he could say to some, "You have READ in the Scriptures" and "you know NEITHER the Scriptures NOR God..." and "you are SEARCHING the Scriptures". Did you notice that at Luke 24:27 it states, "he interpreted to them things pertaining to himself IN ALL THE SCRIPTURES?"
Matthew 21:42; John 5:39 You would know that the Bible does NOT contained all scripture, for it does not contain the Books of Enoch or Jashur... which books were inspired. It also does not contain Paul's (?) first letter to the Corinthians, but contains his second and third, which were renamed as his first and second by those men who compiled the canon that our modern versions come from... the Latin Vulgate.
If you were a true christian, you would know this... because the One who would have called you to BE among his "chosen" ones... would have told you... AND shown you... IN THE BIBLE... where these things are true. For you would have needed to BE shown... for you are still a "babe". So, you are correct in your quotation and it is true that ALL scripture IS inspired. And Paul himself reasoned FROM the scriptures. He did not, however, reason... from the Bible.
that's the right thing to do.
Unfortunately, I must beg to differ with you: the RIGHT thing to do... is obey God. If then, HE directs you to speak... and He does so to His true servants down to this very day by means of His SON... through whom He speaks to US... then, truly... you should speak. For to NOT do so... means disobedience... and possibly even blood on your head.
Ezekiel 3:20, 21; Hebrews 1:2 Speak less - show us proof from the Scriptures instead...
I am sorry, truly, but I can not obey you in this, dear AAF, for I obey none any among earthling man with regard to this matter. You cannot add one cubit to my life span. But there is One who can... and it is to His voice that I listen... and His Word... that I obey.
John 10:3, 27; Matthew 17:5; John 1:14; Revelation 19:13 You quote me as stating:
But if you condemn the other 9,998... by means of believing you can "uproot the weeds"... without "uprooting the wheat"... you are fooling yourself. It is not your job to do.
What I have said is true. It is not even for the angels to do.
Here is what the Scriptures say AGuest, if you consider yourself a true Christian - receive it and embraced it:
ISAIAH 54:17:" Any weapon whatever that will be formed against you will have no success, and any tongue at all that will rise up against you in the judgement you will condemn. This is the hereditary possession of the servants of Jehovah, and their righteousness is from me, is the utterance of Jehovah."
And I absolutely agree with what the Prophet said; I have been guaranteed such by my Lord... which is why I love him so... and why I come here... as he has directed me... to do HIS work. I am not sure, however, why you choose to use this particular quote in light of our discussion. Perhaps you are referring to my comments to GentleSoul regarding [self] righteousness. If so, then perhaps I should clarify what you may have missed in this very scripture: do you see where the utterance of JAH is that "their righteousness IS FROM ME?" This means that it is JAH, by means of Christ who declares ones righteous... and not they themselves. So that, just because one THINKS one is "better" than another... does not necessarily make it so.
I give YOU the account of the "good" Samaritan. This man, although a brother of the Jews by means of hailing from the 10-tribe kingdom of Israel (the Samaritans), versus coming from the 2-tribe kingdom of Judah (the Jews), was despised by the Jews and considered an enemy. Why? Because he did not worship as the Jews did. According to the Jews... and the Law... worship was to be rendered at the temple at Jerusalem.
But the Samaritans... worshipped in the mountains... false worship, actually, after a system set up by Jeroboam. Because of this system, the 10-tribe kingdom of Israel... Oholah... was rejected by JAH... and constituted an enemy of Israel.
Yet, on the day this Samaritan man encountered the beaten and robbed JEWISH man left for dead on the road, already a Levite AND a priest from among the Jews had passed over him. They, although seeing their fellow Jew, a true brother, dying on the road... shut the door of THEIR tender compassions and walked on. It was the Jewish man's ENEMY... a Samaritan... who showed compassion for him... love... so that he bound the man's wounds, cared for him, and paid for him to receive additional care. And according to the account, in my Lord's opinion, this man, the Samaritan, although NOT worshipping as the Jews did, NOT living according to the Law as the Jews did... PROVED himself more righteous... by means of PROVING himself to be a neighbor and have LOVE for his neighbor... than did those who considered THEMSELVES righteous... simply because they adhered to a "form of worship" previously prescribed by God. These, though, the Jews who left their own brother for dead... had a FORM of "godly devotion"... but proved FALSE... to its power. It was the infidel... the Samaritan... who proved his godly devotion by loving... even his enemy.
Matthew 5:43-48 I must now say that I think you have me pegged wrong, dear AAF... based on your own zeal. You think you "know" me, by means of having read a couple of responses; unfortunately, I have to say that you do not... not at all. But stick around; I am not hard to get to know: I have no agenda other than doing my Lord's will, and I have no secrets - I hide nothing because I have nothing TO hide... and I have nothing to hide, so I hide nothing.
I am not ashamed of who and what I am, dear one... of being a slave and a good-for-nothing one at that. I have absolutely NO problem taking up the "torture stake" that is my Lord's... even when that means being ridiculed. It comes with the "territory"... for a prophet is not welcome in his/her home territory... nor is a slave greater than his/her master. When my Lord called ME... I answered the call and said, "I will go." It was a vow I took... and plan with all my heart, mind, soul and strength to keep... whether you and others hear... or refrain.
The greatest of love and peace to you... as well...
Your servant and a slav of Christ,
SJ
P.S. Please know that I do not put my trust in earthling man... nor in the Bible. I put it in the One in whom the Most Holy One of Israel TOLD me to: His Son. For it is about HIM that the scripture bear witness. HE is the "copper serpent" lifted up for ME... and it is upon HIM that I keep my gaze... not turning to the right or the left. If YOU need to have the Law... written on paper in delible ink to guide YOU... so be it. As for ME... I will follow the Law... that has been written... and continues to be written... on my heart... by the Son of God. Since HE is the Way, the Truth and the Life... and NO ONE can come to God except THROUGH him... I choose to enter... through him. Again, I bid you peace.
