Here is what is troubling me, and I say this in all humility and sincerity...,
What I'm seeing is not the evangilization explosion that is so prevalent in the Third Wave doctrine, win the world for Jesus Christ to present to Him when He returns, but rather the apostasy that Jesus talked about and Paul taught on happening in the Church of today. I'm seeing godly men, men used mightily by God who once taught the Word correctly with integrity falling prey to what is false teaching, denominations falling away from the truth and joining in with the ecumenical movement, embracing homosexuality, or joining in with the cults etc., I ask myself, how can that be, I've prayed about it and asked Father, what happened, why did they turn away from the Truth how could that happen?
My answer from Him was confusing at first, He showed me the men that Paul named that had left Him, it seemed that He was showing me the same question I had asked Him, but then it started to sink in, for the last 23 years I've needed to totally depend on Him, moment by moment, did I, was I faithful, ashamedly I must admit not always and those times I walked in my own power and intelligence it seems the enemy was always there to trip me up, some times He hit me hard.
I have came to the conclusion that when I wasn't depending on Him moment by moment I was walking in the enemy's territory, Dylan was right when he sang, "you gotta serve somebody, it might be the devil or it might be the Lord, but you gotta serve somebody."
With that in mind, when we follow and believe human wisdom about the Word of God rather than believing what John wrote that it's the Holy Spirit that teaches us everything, then we are opening ourselves up to deception. I say this in love to my dear brothers here, with concern for your well being, there isn't one verse in the Bible that can be used that the Nephilium were the offspring of two human parents, that's just human conjecture, on the other hand there are many verses that teach otherwise, it's not my concern or point as to who is right or who is wrong on this matter, but rather to warn..., ask you to be careful, if it isn't found in the Bible then reject it, please don't open yourselves up to deception and fall into the snare of the devil.
When I read IMHO that scares me, it might be okay to use that on any other type of forum other than a Christian one, but IMHO tells me that person wasn't taught by the Holy Spirit, think about it, would you say, "IMHO Jesus is God, or "IMHO the only way to the Father is by Jesus Christ, or "IMHO there isn't any other name under Heaven we can call on to be saved?" Do you see what I'm saying dear ones, what we've been taught by the Holy Spirit isn't up for debate, we own it and it can never be taken from us, but if we fall into the trap of deception, we still own these verses, but our credibility and usefulness has been destroyed and repentance can only come from the Lord and that isn't automatic, we can sit on the bench for the rest of our time here on earth, ...and I don't want to see that happen to any of my friends here.
Blessings,
