The Spirits of God

[M. T. Cross]

okay, Stephen Levi, if you're truly interested in what the SDA stance might be on the Seven Spirits of God,

I think he may simply be interested in letting SDA's (and every other possible Christian variation) know what HIS stance on the Seven Spirits of God is.

yeah, well...

I don't believe our new friend Levi has much to say to us, probably because he, alone, knows the will of God, and obeys it by conducting himself as a scripture terrorist.

Remember when Jesus fed the 4,000 and the 5,000? I believe he was trying to tell us something important about the numbers 7 and 12. My best guess is that Earth is number seven of twelve. The Kingdom of YHVH consists of a confederation of 12 planets orbiting 12 stars. Our sun may not currently belong to the 12, so Earth and moon may very well be transported to another, distant sun, someday.

The Seven-Fold Spirit, or seven-spirits-in-one, are used to monitor human activity and relay telepathic communication, aka prayer, between our world and another place, the real Temple in space, somewhere out there. Seven Spirits makes one wonder if YHVH himself is composed of 7 beings-in-one, too. YHVH is, of course, not made of flesh and blood as we are, but emits heat and light radiation powerful enough to kill any poor humans who venture too close.

That's why YHVH created Jesus, so he could talk to us through a human voice to teach us what his Kingdom is like.

Interesting theory, Aliensanctuary. But as I read it I distinctly hear in my head the theme music from The Twilight Zone.

Sorry, but it does go well with the vague and individually self directed teaching mode of this thread.

Hi Stephen Levi, welcome to the forums, cool name for sure,

Great post. I like number stuff too though I am more inclined to the numbers 3, 9 and 27 and variations there of.

Here is why I like 9's

Again - great post full of mystery and intrigue. There is likely a point as well.

Interesting that 3 is a significant number in Norse mythology. This does intrigue me that the number 3 is some frequently associated with deity. See further - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_deity .

Numbers in the Hebrew language and Jewish culture likewise had special meaning. They often have qualitative meaning that was as significant or in some cases more so than to signify quantity. Some would say that as often used in Hebrew Scripture, the qualitative was primary. A simple example is the use of 40 with a span of time. The reign of kings for 40 years, the Israelites wandering in the wilderness for 40 years. It would seem odd that they would always be the same number of years. Many scholars recognize that was simple a way of describing the passing of the time of a generation, and not exactly 40 years.

The book of Revelation, although written in Greek, was written by a Jewish Hebrew speaking writer for the early Christians that were really still a Jewish sect. There are numerous uses of specific numbers throughout the book that have distinctly qualitative meaning, and likely very little actual quantitative significance. I have an interesting book that focuses a great deal on that interpretive method for Revelation. The significant numbers repeated throughout that are used to list sets of things and events are 3, 4, 6,7, 10, 12, including combinations and multiples of those numbers. Whenever events or things are described with a specific number or combination of numbers, those things and events take on that quality.

I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you what my mission is here.

What is your mission here?

[Stan]

I own it.

[Stephen Levi]

I own it.

God told me to say this to you.

" You do not own nothing down here."

My mission is to do that which the Spirit of the Lord instructed me and sent me to do.

What I find is too many people come here to claim the leadership of their new audience...

They usually give smart aleck evasive answers to questions when asked direct questions.

What is the commandment of Jesus Christ that you must obey if love Jesus Christ concerning this? Do you know it?

"Stephen Levi",

As Moderator let me help you with your impertinent and seemingly arrogant rejoinder. I will give you the benefit of the doubt though and just assume you really did not know who you are talking to, sort of like some us are beginning to wonder if you know what you are talking about.

Let introduce you you to Stan Jensen, the founder and Administrator of this site. That should tell you plenty about what his mission here is all about. I don't mean to be harsh, but one important aspect of that mission, in which I have a part as Moderator to assist, is to make it his business to know who is here and why in order to maintain some sense of order and decorum. And part of that is knowing what works here and what does not, what goes over well with the members and regular participants and what doesn't. Spamming doesn't. Being evasive doesn't. Having a dogmatic agenda doesn't. Not being responsive to sincere and honest questions doesn't. Having a preachy, holier than thou attitude doesn't. Posing as someone who thinks are are God's special mouth piece, doesn't.

What does work here is honest discussion, sincere questions and answers, being forthright and respectful to others, especially one who has the difficult task of running this site.

Now, would you like to rethink your answer and set about revising your strategy interaction here?

of persons with God.

Colossians, Chapter 3, 25: But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

I own it.

What is the point?

What do you know about The Spirit of Life ? Tell me?

[Gregory Matthews]

So, God told you to say the following to Stan:

Quote:

" You do not own nothing down here."

In the English language, that is a double negative.

So, you are telling us that God told you to tell Stan that he (Stan) Does own something down here.

I guess that could be Club Adventist that Stan owns.
