You told us- "Ten times I count the phrase see Jesus in these two pages. Couple this with the introductory paragraph I gave you from p.207, and it's progressing to SEE JESUS that he’s urging with us OLGs to do. It’s for other grads too." =============== Basic pfal- and basic Bullinger- get "to whom" correct. ONCE, vpw mentioned "see Jesus" for us, and nine times he mentioned it for Zaccheus. If he told us ONCE, he's not "urging" us to do it.Once it was for us to "see more and more of God's Word." ==================== On page 207 he writes: As we pass through life, we must climb ever higher and higher in our hearts and minds with the greatness of God’s Word. We must always keep progressing to see more and more of God’s Word and His promises manifested in our daily lives. Then on pages 212-213 we see: All I know is that the Word of God says Zacchaeus was a publican and he was rich. We learn one other thing about Zacchaeus in this account and that is that he was motivated by a wonderful desire: He wanted to see Jesus. Luke 19:3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. Zacchaeus wanted to see Jesus - who he was. Perhaps it was simple curiosity prompting him. The text doesn't say. But whatever the reason, at least he wanted to see Jesus. I wish that today, across our nation, there were more people who wanted to see Jesus. When people ask to see Jesus today, we've got to show him. When they want to see Jesus, who he is, we can show them God's Word and the greatness of Jesus Christ's position in the Word. Zacchaeus wanted to see Jesus, but he couldn't. The reason he couldn't see him or get to him was for "the press." That doesn't mean the news media, such as newspaper, radio, or television reporters. "Press" means "numbers of people." There were so many people surrounding Jesus that Zacchaeus couldn't get a glimpse of him. Verse 3: . . . because he was little of stature. Zacchaeus was short. The biggest thing about him was his desire to see Jesus. Verse 4: And he [Zacchaeus] ran before [ahead of where Jesus was walking], and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him: for he [Jesus] was to pass that way. Zacchaeus climbed up into a sycamore tree in order to get a view of this noted person, Jesus, whom people were talking about. Zacchaeus took the necessary action to fulfill his desire. That's very important. If you want to see Jesus Christ through God's Word, you need to move, take action. Zacchaeus took the initiative and climbed up into that sycamore tree. */*/*/* Ten times I count the phrase see Jesus in these two pages. Couple this with the introductory paragraph I gave you from p.207, and it's progressing to SEE JESUS that he’s urging with us OLGs to do. It’s for other grads too. ================================ This is one reason people don't trust your doctrine- you continually make ELEMENTARY MISTAKES. That's why everything's behind a curtain- to try to minimize the sunlight on the BASIC ERRORS. One of those "ten times" the phrase "see Jesus" wasn't said at all. ONE of those "ten times" the phrase "see Jesus" referred to us. The remaining EIGHT times were all in reference to ZACCHEUS, who wanted to see Jesus.

A) They were. B) It was not. lcm was walking around as if in a fog at the time. Even he called it that by 1989.

Rearranging the deck chairs on the HMS Titanic didn't count as change, either. (Even without using string to arrange the chairs.)

Anyone who actually has something worthwhile to say, and an opportunity to address an audience- and you had that for a few years while people asked you to speak clearly and make your points- can address the audience and communicate CLEARLY. I've done that, and had people line up afterwards and wait to shake my hand. (Surprised the heck out of me- they'd just spend 90 minutes listening to me, and some wanted to continue for hours where I'd stopped. I finally had to beg off out of physical hunger.) So, you supposedly have something important to say. You've had decades to find how to phrase it. And you still have no end of excuses as to why you're not going to just get to the point. But that's anything BUT news now. You'll go on for paragraphs on some self-congratulatory diversion, but actually get to the point? No, you don't have time.

I don't think he can. He just proved my points better than I would have expected.

This sequel had a lot of actors really give it their all. One actor became famous in some circles for how far to go for a scene. In one moment, he received frustrating news. He kicked something in frustration, then sank to his knees as he screamed in utter frustration. It was fantastic method acting. And the scene could not be re-shot with a retake because he broke his toe with the kick- then added that literal pain into the scene. Another moment- which appeared in the same movie- this actor chipped a tooth during filming. He said to just glue it in place and finish the scene. They stopped the scene and got him a dentist instead. This sequel- and its sequel- were also movies where a few actors played more than 1 role. In fact, there was 3 different cameos in 3 different movies of one actor, but that shouldn't count. It's another movie where some actors passed the time waiting for a helicopter by playing "Cup"- a game they "invented" that involves keeping a plastic disposable cup in the air by hitting it. For a time, you could get an official "Cup" cup by contacting them, supposedly. (I think they weren't kidding.)

BTW, I'm curious if this "the Bible is good for something" business represents an ACTUAL change from "the Bible is 'unreliable fragments' and 'tattered remnants' " and Mike's actually changed his position to something healthier, or if it's all smokescreen and Mike still believes the Bible's "unreliable fragments" and "tattered remnants" and he's intentionally lying to tell people what they want to hear. I won't know because, when I asked Mike if he's actually changed position, he tried to GASLIGHT me and pretend he never badmouthed the Bible before. At this point, it wouldn't surprise me if Mike can't remember he ever said that, has changed his position, and believes he now, retroactively, has ALWAYS had this new position. His grasp of what the Bible says, the collaterals say, and what posts here say have always been tenuous at best.

"How badly do you want to know these things you ask me of? How much work and time will you put into implementing the answers? Would it be too much for me to ask you to take the initiative in proving to me your sincerity in wanting to learn? How can you assure me I wont be wasting my time explaining all these things to you in text form here in public? " Over 20 years, and he still is either unable or unwilling to speak plainly- and he's been offered numerous chances to explain with whatever time he needed or at whatever length he needed. There has ALWAYS been an excuse, there will always be an excuse- because, by the light of day and with full transparency, he's got SQUAT. 20 years of CLAIMING he's got something, and still nothing. That's someone relying on a dog-and-pony show to make up for the lack of actual substance and content.

"We can talk about all this in Private Messaging or on voice phone if you would like." JAL always wanted to take things off GSC and to the phone as well. Once he did, it was non-stop commercials for JAL's books, classes, etc, and all actual DISCUSSION had ended. So, by now, this looks like an invitation to enter the nice van to get a lift to where the REALLY good candy is kept.

already AT Starbucks but you couldn't see him- hidden Some people can "never admit an error is an error." If someone takes pride in that approach, they can't improve much, because they can't admit an error and move on- they need to construct elaborate cages of lies to preserve the original error- which was worthless to anyone else.

Ok, first the technical first line, to see if someone can make the shot at range. "Hey, do it now!" If you can, that will be impressive. -
"Endeavour"???? It sounds like this could be one of those British mystery shows Mrs Wolf likes to watch.

Hello. A few people have posted links and information on books and things. I'm sure they'll reply shortly with some information.

But since your experience is extensive but doesn't support Mike's ideas, he'll pretend you never posted them or you never ran excellor's or ran them awfully or something.

That's how George Mueller operated. He had a simple faith, and prayed simple prayers like a child might, and got the results. He didn't need to wrangle about unwritten "principles" that contradicted themselves and still didn't do anything.

"Exousia" means "AUTHORITY", period. Only twi an ex-twi feel the need to add layers of complications and connections (like to "dunamis.") The concept of "authority" is not hard to grasp- which is probably why vpw had to add complicated stuff to it- to convince people to pay money for information on something that needed no explanation. --------------------- Matthew 8:5-10 (KJV) 5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. 7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. 9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 10 When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. ---------------------------- That man had supreme confidence in the AUTHORITY of Jesus to deliver that he was confident that- if Jesus pronounced the deliverance, it would happen regardless of distance and him seeing the result. The man understood how AUTHORITY worked- he gave orders, and they were followed. So, if Jesus gave the order for his servant to be healed, he was confident that the healing would happen due to Jesus' AUTHORITY to do so.

The key WAS "the little box where vpw wanted us imprisoned." As any sociologist or social psychologist (or cultural anthropologist) could tell you, repetition of social rituals is used as reinforcement to keep people in a group. The ritualized behavior- like excellors sessions- is substituted for actual thinking, which keeps one in the bondage of a group like twi. As for the alphabet exercise, that's the most blatant part for reinforcing a deception- it's obvious that it's used to reinforce a VOLUNTARY BEHAVIOR (otherwise we could not reproduce around a LETTER) rather than energize something supernatural. Most of us have moved on from the little boxes of twi- and the little boxes of people who chose their little boxes and want us in them as well. No, thank you.

No, he was quoting STARR DAILY, not vpw.
