I sat here contemplating for awhile wondering, should I or shouldn't I. There is absolutely no reason for me to defend my stance on anything I believe, teach or reveal no matter how much of the Bible you like to quote, although I could walk the walk and talk the talk on every single verse contained in the Bible, it would simply be useless, pun intended. For what I have experienced and have been taught does not need to be a sign or marker for anyone else to believe or have faith in. Those with a pure heart shall seek and they shall find, whether from me or someone else or better yet within themselves where the true spirit of Christ resides!
I have seen and used the power of faith all my life, I AM a direct result of a MIRACLE. I have helped change people's lives for the better all over this planet by teaching the inner mysteries... I have taught the mysteries as well as the Bible to show there is a balance. Those that reject the Bible are rejecting half of the mystery. But those that reject the INNER power are rejecting the other half also. Without both parts you can not have access to the KEY no matter what you have learned or think you KNOW!
I can teach people how to access the power if of their free will they choose for me to help them, but I will not debate with people that love to use the Bible as some sort of weapon or construct for attack, because nothing of good reputation comes from it and no growth is ever established. You could never change my mind in a million attempts, no matter how many verses you quote. It has taken me decades to come to my knowledge along with a majesty of miracles and experiences and divine intervention that taught me lessons and it would be assinine for me to simply throw everything God has taught me on a daily basis for years, out the window and return back to where it all started like a dog returning to its vomit. Once you leave the milk behind it is time to consume the meat of discernment.
I was in a similar mindset in a Christian church for 30 years of my life until the Father finally got a 2X4 board across my proverbial head and woke me up to the majesty of the mysteries.
You see I can't change your mind either and in truth I wouldn't want too nor should I be able too. Actually when your mind really does change it is only by result of a divine miracle. I don't want you to agree with me because this is what I believe or understand, I want you to see it because it is what is true within you. Until it is true within you, you are doing a disservice to yourself to change even if you are wrong. Notice when I write and teach I do not repeat what others teach, or use others as a foundation of my knowledge, I go directly within myself and access what I need because I found the KEY. That which I access comes from the FATHER through CHRIST, NOT FROM ME get it straight.
Isn't it great we all have free will and are not subjegated to only one thought process? Thank goodness that our Father is versatile and not a drone! Understand, Knowledge does not equal spiritual power, spiritual power equals the right use of knowledge!
Nothing you quoted contradicts not even in the least what little I shared with everyone concerning faith- if you understood the real mysteries that is. That which appeared to contradict what I taught in which you quoted was the 'letter' which leads to death/ignorance/separation, but the 'spirit' would have given life/resurrection/awareness/gnosis if understood. I could reveal the exact scriptures you quoted and then reveal their spiritual intent, but I shall not take the time to do this, to do it properly takes much writing!
I have taught very little on this forum concerning the mysteries simply because I don't think this is the place for it, mostly I have shared things that would enlighten people to the real workings of the behind the scenes aspects of this world through some mystical fashion using prophecies of the ancients. However those things have little to nothing to do with the mysteries per say.
I also include the Bible in a lot of what I teach because it has been a goal to help and serve christians and teach them the mysteries. My last work was for this very thing. I have had priests and ministers write me and tell me how my book has changed their lives and their thinking without really changing anything because I was able to use the Bible to reveal the secrets they never saw before, but in reality they always saw it. All I did was magnified the power of their mind.
I have done this because I was there like I said for a very long time living my life in the power of the letter instead of the spirit and I know how powerful the truth is once the letter is magnified into spirit, so it has been my desire to help share the mysteries with a people that others will not do because they have no idea how they think. WELL I DO! The Bible even though it is filled with error has the secrets within, because unlike some that reject the Bible totally I know that the power is within it if understood, those that reject it altogether are doing great harm to themselves no matter what they think they know, but that is their choice. Because even in the corrupted letter the spiritual mystery is still coded.
Now getting back to your question that you asked, in which you knew not that I have the POWER to discern spirit "Does KNOW THYSELF describe MY faith? What kind of answer do you want to hear?
You are not asking a question to learn from, you are asking a question trying to set me up so you can attack and make me appear feeble using the Bible as a sword. I shall not oblige that! Because I could turn around and do the very same thing and it solves nothing!
I already know what you want to hear and I already know how you are set up to defend yourself on what you think my response is going to be. I shall not give you that luxury simply because I already know your intention is to set me up and not pure in heart and I also know you are wrong in your opinion of what you think I believe. I AM Not New Age, nor am I from the false Christian Religion. Both are a polarity of error while the truth sets in the MIDDLE. I know from whence this spirit comes. I am generic to you and thus you quote scripture almost as a robotic think tank as if to score spiritual brownie points or something, instead of truly discussing the inner aspects of the mysteries to enhance and share learning which would benefit others. Your concern instead is to tear apart the teaching of the INNER PRESENCE which you claim is blasphemy- which is a protestant think tank, and ridicule using the Bible as a weapon, but appearing innocent as if to say, I am only quoting the words of God if you don't like it tough luck.
I know I have been there done that!!!
If you really want the truth the real blasphemy is to DENY that the Father and the SON/Christ lives within us all and not without! The spirit of anti-christ is just that, people will follow a false christ without instead of the true Christ within. Until Christ be formed in you and God is ALL IN ALL! For the mystery of God is CHRIST WITHIN US!!!!
Since you like quoting Paul then quote it all!
I don't blame you I was once in that state of mind and it took years and years for me to be pulled away by the Father teaching me every step of the way what was wrong and what was right. All I will say is one day you shall know what I AM revealing here and you will feel deep inside the wonderment of why you never saw it before and how simple it all truly is and you will not be rejecting God or Christ or any of the Host of heaven you will be establishing the truth of the spiritual hierarchy, but until that happens, you shall always say, "I will not change what I believe because it is the words of God and there is nothing you can say to change me, I won't be deceived..."
I will not get into a Bible thunmping contest, which in truth I would love to do, it brings back alot of memories, instead I shall try to swallow that pride and simply go forward, because I know there is no help or glory in debating on such, neither will it help the true seekers. Once you access the simplicty of the truth there is no need to force it on anyone because I know one day all will know the ALL IN ALL. As in ADAM all die as in CHRIST ALL shall be made alive" Not some, not only the saved, ALL! -oops sorry couldn't resist!
If you are really and truly interested in what I believe, then send an email to vcwait@yahoo.com and I will show you how you can be on a pre-order list for my new book coming out this summer. In it will explain the great deception and the mysteries, which would clearly explain the verses you quoted below but only if your mind is not engaged in fear and wrapped only in the LETTER, and is ready to be opened.
If you are not interested in what I TEACH and all you are interested in is quoting to others on what the Bible says verbatim, then great I JUDGE YOU NOT. But don't bother me with your rhetorical questions either! I AM only here to help those who desire to KNOW/GNOSIS as well as reveal the secret order of things, elsewise you and I are both wasting our precious time!
