xjwsforChrist

I can only answer as to why JWs believe this, dear P (again, peace to you, luv, and hope all is well with you and your dear family!)... and it's due to yet another false teaching of their leaders... because such ones don't know our dear Lord... and so don't recognize him in the account. As a result, they feel completely justified in their OTHER false teaching: that Michael IS Christ. Sad. Their blindness...

Peace!

YSSFS of Christ,

Shellamar

Hello,

Again, you keep It to yourSELF. Fascinating. I'm left to ONLY imagine what you 'saw/witnessed'. And yet at the same time, I'm to trust it was only for you TO see.

It is all such an interesting concept.

Thanks for NOT sharing. Seriously, thank you Shelby.

You forget, dear Skals (mornin' and peace to you!): excluding those who are of the Body, to whom I am obligated to share... and those to whom my Lord specifically directs me... it really is my prerogative as to whom I share what I receive with... when... and why. Just as it was his... and he didn't share everything with everyone. Indeed, he specifically chose NOT to share with certain ones... or did so in parables that he did not explain [to them]... AND told US to take care as to whom we "throw" our pearls "before." For you, personally, I get enough... ummmmmm... derision... as you have shown here. If you truly WANTED to know, then you only needed to have asked - I would not have withheld it from you... if you TRULY wanted to know (in which case, you WOULD have simply asked). Rather, you continually show yourself to be... a derider... and I really don't have the time... or desire... to deal with that (today or most days).

Maybe one day you will consider how you... mmmmmmm... "approach" these things. Perhaps not. Either way is fine with ME - I don't judge or begrudge you: you are absolutely entitled to your POVs. You are not, however, entitled to anything from ME at this point. That could change, of course, and when it does I will be MORE than happy to share my "pearls" with you, too. Until then, though... it is what it is.

I hope that helps (your understanding)... but understand if it doesn't.

Again, peace to you!

Your servant, yes, but a slave of CHRIST, not man, including you... first...

We do have a certain peace here in this forum, but comments like this disrupt that peace. I, too, would like to see what Shelby has to say, but if it is not to be, then it is not to be.

lq,

It is not meant to Be, disruptive. That must Be what YOU are perceiving it to Be. That is YOUR choice in views. I assure you however, it was not meant to Be such.

I simply commented on the fascination I SEE to Be as a pattern of sorts. You know, a fabric. A fabrication of 'threads' in Life. Am I not allowed to notice these Things and thus, remark on Them? I think so.

Shelby,



Not so. Only as YOU 'see' it..."I forgot" {see above}. Quite the contrary. The reply is part of that fabric{ation} of the threading of Life.


By the way, will you EVER tell anyone other than this 'Body' you refer to?

Thank you Shelby...I'm glad you've said this. I can actually feel it happening this way. As if am given something and then 'led' along as my thinking and reasoning follows on from the given information. I am so grateful to Jah and Jaheshua for their spirit and guidance.

Again, I would certainly share it with anyone I was DIRECTED to share it with, dear Skals (again, peace to you!). I also cannot withhold it from anyone who truly WANTS to know; however, that one SAYS they truly want to know does not make it so: it truly depends on their REAL motive and intent (which they themselves may not even be aware of as earthling man is just as good at fooling himself as he is at fooling others)... regardless of what they SAY. For that reason, there are "laws" that dictate. But you absolutely don't have to take my word for it: Acts 8:18-23; Matthew 7:6; 13:11-17.

Again, I hope that helps you understand... and, again and as always, peace to you!

Your servant and a slave of Christ,

Shellamar

Well, that just sux.

skally, then my sincerest apologies. I detected a certain tone to your comment, and I was apparently wrong... thankfully so.

Perhaps this is why it's better to HEAR than SEE? LOL!

~LQ

Why would that be, and how, dear Skals (peace!). I mean, it makes perfect sense to me: why give someone something of great value that they don't truly WANT... or will appreciate the value OF? That's even common sense in THIS world, is it not?

Peace!

Your servant and a slave of Christ,

Shellamar

Or, who thinks it contains any value at all. Got your point dear.

Perhaps it is why it is better to see what you think you are hearing. Hearing can very well be deceiving just as seeing can Be.

You obviously did, dear Skals (peace!)... and made it for me, again. Thank you for that, as I was starting to think perhaps I wasn't as clear as I thought I was. I can see now, that I was!

Peace!

Your servant and a slave of Christ,
