Quote:This is all about winning adherents to The LORD and His word
That is only part of it, but your idea is to keep them stuck in the word with these toys. The word is only part of the whole, there is also the persuit of knowing GOD's will for them, the gifts, and the empowerment from on high to make it happen.
This is not some intellectual arguement to win people over to some book, bible or something else, it is about GOD's will for the believer and their new birth, the promise of the Spirit, and the annointing for that person to be an instrument of righteousness, in power, so his/her words will speak with authority and he/she will perform miracles and works of righteousness,...ultimately leading non-believers to GOD by the works. People want action not just words, they are tired of the talk. Jesus was action and words, not just words.
Codes, or the idea of them, is a distraction to the process. Satan would love to have someone more interested in some code theory,...he sure would,...that keeps the believer from following the path that Jesus laid out for us, and actually becoming someone powerful, an apostle or prophet or who knows what GOD has for them who seek HIM.
Satan has always loved to get mankind to play with the intellectual rather than persue the spiritual. There is no way he would like for anyone to actually follow the path that Jesus laid out for us and try to be like Him.
This is about bringing them to GOD and letting HIM have them to choose what HE wants for them, not distracting them with toys and games and "what if's" and what nots.
I'm more serious than you think about it. It's not just the intellectual. Many people on here need a fresh understanding of the heart of GOD and HIS desires for mankind, and they should be in prayer more to know it, not playing around with games.
rude, crude, I don't care, pay attention to the truth.
