Chrisgp from England wrote: ... the “Masked” Church!!! "... it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not *muzzle* the mouth of the ox that treads out the corn. Does God take care for oxen? Or said he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that plows should plow in hope; and that he that threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope."Besides the clasical meaning of putting a muzzle on an animal to stop it from biting or eating, there is also figuratively the sense by which to muzzle points to prevent "a person, newspaper or entity from expressing opinions" Actually the Greek word for muzzle means to put to silence, speechless, and masks are figuratively putting the population into a state of numb subjection, fomenting with the distancing measures an introvert, isolated, retracted and dejected society, because the mouth is the main organ for verbal communication, and God's design is for man to feed on the hope and function of his words. "The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook" Masks, not only intrude into man's life fulfilment but may empoverish society, "The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom" |

Chrisgp from England wrote: Compulsory masks for all, even including little children, inside and outside, with virtually no exceptions in some states, is a prelude to forced vaccination with the aborted foetuses (that is murdered babies), epigenetic (that is changing your DNA permanently), and most likely also with a permanent tattoo or internal ink marker or chip of some kind (scannable to prove you have had the vaccination) Bil Gated style vaccine. The whole thing will be rolled out as the only way you will be allowed to go back to “normal” life, or to travel “normally”. Those who do not comply, will be excluded from “normal” life, or may even be fined or jailed, or like as in China, their social credit will be affected for the worse!! The globalists and UN meeting in Davos, Switzerland in January are sure to demand this in their “Global Reset”. Only because of providence the ethnic Jews were not delivered and exterminated in the book of Esther. In God should we trust to live.

Lurker wrote: In this case it's speculation. Biden called for mandatory masks for the next three months and, as a candidate for president, he has no authority to mandate anything. So it's just a politically motivated stunt to position himself in a better light than Trump, who wouldn't even consider such a mandate, for the upcoming presidential election. Pandering for votes.... 'This is what I'd do if I were president now.' Liberals will lap it up and conservatives will laugh it off for the mindless stunt it is. Yet the average over-zealous population on hearing the term 'mandate' they interpret it in their brain as next to being a 'command', with criminal implication, ready to 'comply' when in reality it ought to be taken as an option, as personal safety is a personal duty, responsibility, task and choice, not to be implemented in block, human rights pointing to infringing freedoms when imposing the likes. As for caring for our neighbour, plenty of evidence is missing to demonstrate the severe contagiousness. However, such is the indoctrination... Surprisingly, the 'orders' nowadays do not come from the average practicing medical profession, but from civil 'parroting' entrenched in political endowments. |

Joe K wrote: It's amazing that masks will cure all. Especially since I read yesterday that Sweden didn't lockdown, or do mandatory masks. They barely have any cases, covid is disappearing there and the economy is not ruined. The article is on one news now website. Or it appears that the 'intelligent' covid has a mind of its own, going rather for specific nationalities, as UK, USA, mainly... Wonder?? |

Thank you, CV, for your candour and honesty in your last post.Yes, most people get converted through Arminians, because knownly or not, the call of the Gospel is given in the biblical way. The first words of Christ ministry were, 'Repent and believe the gospel', Paul urged people to 'be reconciled with God', Peter anounced that they had to 'repent and be converted' and so on. The stiff upper-lip hypercalvinist is afraid of such statements in case their over polished pet doctrines get compromised. We are to preach, but God does the preparation of the soul, the opening of the heart, as said of Lydia, the willing, the drawing to himself, the awakening of the spirit, the convicting, the opening of the ear, the softness of heart, the opening of the understanding, etc... Someone said that we are to preach as if all depended on us, but pray as if all depended on God. He that sows the seed will turn up with his sheaves, is the promise, because the call of the Gospel is *guaranteed* by the eternal election. Bless God. |

John UK wrote: As for your question, no, no mystical experience, purely remembrance. This is because the passover was a type/shadow of the real thing, Christ our passover being slain for us. Therefore we can expect much more in the fulfilment than in the shadow. And I believe scripture teaches that. eg. 1 Corinthians 10:16. You are deviating from the topic by creating rabbit trails.Surely, the type and the reality it points to, do not compare, but the Lord's supper is still a type or emblem of the real thing. Nevertheless, the witness of the Spirit is real by its fruit experienced when in obedience to the seal, but to figure out mystical experiences, which in truth come linked to the 'means of grace' concept, it sounds spurious. |

John UK wrote: ... the 1689 Confession... Paragraph 7. Worthy receivers, outwardly partaking of the visible elements in this ordinance, do then also inwardly by faith, spiritually receive, and feed upon Christ crucified, and all the benefits of his death; the body and blood of Christ being spiritually present to the faith of believers in that ordinance, as the elements themselves are to their outward senses. Man made confessions can end up as a bunch of presumptions, well meant intentions, some wrong preconceptions, along with some spiritual truth mingled with assumptions. All these pack and knit together makes it hard to dissect them apart especially when deriving from a long-lived religious tradition. Yes, some truths in the text have spiritual reality, but to bring it to the sensual side per magic mystical feeling is not there any time. E. G. Do you reckon the Israelites eating the passover had a mystical awareness, or a grateful remembrance of true facts in their past history ? Let's remember that the phrase 'means of grace' birthed from RC dogma, rather than from Scriptures |

John UK wrote: ... my question was: John 6:53 KJV (53) Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. So, brother, however you interpret the eating of his flesh and drinking his blood, you will still have to do it, or you have no life in you. So how and when do you eat his flesh and drink his blood? John, the passage should be taken as one of the types of Christ, the same as he being the door, the bread, the way, etc... A figure of speech as it were. For instance, that Christ is the way, does not mean that in our way to the father we climb over on top of Christ 's slaps of stone.In this case the eating of his flesh and blood represents our union with Christ (identification with him) and of being part of him. See, "For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones" The association of this passage with the Lord's supper as "eating' his flesh and blood is a relic from romanism where it is thought people' feed' on Christ through the host ingestion. |

John UK wrote: ... whole world of difference between sinners coming to Jesus because they ARE elect, and God electing sinners BECAUSE they come to Jesus. ... Salvation is dependent on the sovereign will and purpose of God. And none that are saved will ever fully understand the mysteries of God. Anyone who believes they do reminds me of the devil who wished to be like unto God. Surely, It is fascinating to see the Hypercalvinist and the Arminian position come to terms to admit to the two wings Scriptures hold about converting truth. The sad thing is that usually passages quoted are butchered in order to support a particular take.E.g. the Greek word for 'whosoever' (G3956) used in John 6:37 is the same used in John 3:16, which means 'all that' ... say believe, come, looks or whatever. "All (G3956) that the Father gives me shall come to me; and him that comes to me I will in no wise cast out." John 6:37 On the same line the whosoever of Rev 22:17, refers to those that 'are inclined to'. Often doctrinal slants can mentally reinterpret written script to suit. |
