I haven't changed, you're just blind as a bat.
So that woman had the power to demand that a spirit leave if it wasn't of Christ.
Stop it boy, it stinks already.
Flamin' freak.

KumbayaSince it means "Come by here Lord", I don't this version of 'calling upon the Lord' is all that bad, since any calling of 'God' is helpful. "he who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered"
We judge a teaching by its content, its ethic, principle, meaning and value, and in the appropriate context. I recommend a minor adjustment of consciousness on your part....for starters.....:crackup:
You're not the we I listen too.
Thank God.

But in the worst way, it is completely defective. Meshak has ill intent. But mercifully Meshak is clumsy; their clumsiness protects people.Her bat radar isn't completely defective.
You may be on to something, regarding the person who is striking out and yet seems vulnernable, too.But in the worst way, it is completely defective. Meshak has ill intent. But mercifully Meshak is clumsy; their clumsiness protects people.

Whose differentiating? might that be you?
Maybe you would like to think so?
That's a lot of words for someone that tells others they use a lot of words...
Let's do the scriptural math... right here... right now!
Exodus 34:14
14 because you are not to bow down to any other god; since ADONAI -whose very name is Jealous -is a jealous God.
Malachi 3:6 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
6 “But because I, Adonai, do not change,
you sons of Ya‘akov will not be destroyed.
Philippians 2
9 Therefore God raised him to the highest place and gave him the name above every name; 10 that in honor of the name given Yeshua, every knee will bow - in heaven, on earth and under the earth 11 and every tongue will acknowledgeb that Yeshua the Messiah is ADONAI - to the glory of God the Father.

I've got another one too... Who's lying?
lets not forget we both agree that 'Jesus' and 'Jehovah' are two distinct personalities

Yeshua the Messiah can not be Adonai.
Adonai and Adoni (Psalm 110:1)
The Bible’s supreme proof text for telling the difference between the One God and the Messiah who is not God
This verse was referred to the Messiah by the Pharisees and by Jesus. It tells us that the relationship between God and Jesus is that of Deity and non-Deity. The Messiah is called adoni (my lord) and in every one of its 195 occurrences adoni (my lord) means a superior who is not God. Adonai on the other hand refers exclusively to the One God in all of its 449 occurrences. Adonai is the title of Deity and adoni never designates Deity.
If the Messiah were called Adonai this would introduce “two Gods” into the Bible and would be polytheism. Psalm 110:1 should guard us all against supposing that there are two who are God. In fact the Messiah is the supreme human being and agent of the One God. Psalm 110:1 is the Bible’s master text for defining the Son of God in relation to the One God, his Father.
Why is it that a number of commentaries misstate the facts about Psalm 110:1? They assert that the word for the Messiah in Psalm 110:1 is adonai. It is not. These commentaries seem to obscure a classic text defining God in relation to His Son. The Hebrew text assigns to the Messiah the title adoni which invariably distinguishes the one addressed from the Deity. The Messiah is the supreme human lord. He is not the Lord God (cp. I Tim. 2:5; I Cor. 8:4-6; Mark 12:28ff).
Why is the Messiah called adoni (my lord) and never adonai (my Lord God)?
“Adonai and Adoni are variations of Masoretic pointing to distinguish divine reference from human.”
Adonai is referred to God but Adoni to human superiors.
Adoni — ref. to men: my lord, my master [see Ps. 110:1]
Adonai — ref. to God…Lord (Brown, Driver, Briggs, Hebrew and English Lexicon of the Old Testament, under adon [= lord]).
“The form ADONI (‘my lord’), a royal title (I Sam. 29:8), is to be carefully distinguished from the divine title ADONAI (‘my Lord’) used of Yahweh.” “ADONAI — the special plural form [the divine title] distinguishes it from adonai [with short vowel] = my lords” (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, “Lord,” p. 157).
“Lord in the OT is used to translate ADONAI when applied to the Divine Being. The [Hebrew] word…has a suffix [with special pointing] presumably for the sake of distinction…between divine and human appellative” (Hastings Dictionary of the Bible, “Lord,” Vol. 3, p. 137).
“Hebrew Adonai exclusively denotes the God of Israel. It is attested about 450 times in the OT…Adoni [is] addressed to human beings (Gen. 44:7, Num. 32:25, II Kings 2:19 [etc.]). We have to assume that the word adonai received its special form to distinguish it from the secular use of adon [i.e., adoni]. The reason why [God is addressed] as adonai, [with long vowel] instead of the normal adon, adoni or adonai [with short vowel] may have been to distinguish Yahweh from other gods and from human lords” (Dictionary of Deities and Demons in the Bible, p. 531).

Freelight would you call yourself or identify as panentheistic monist? Or is that redundant? I identify as Christian.
"Loose lips sink ships." I have a replicate of an old wartime poster, and it reads, "Loose lips might sink ships." I think in dropping the "might," we welcome in a coarse and unloving fundamentalism.
That does describe me philosophically fairly close....more liberally a progressive theist, pan-entheist/monist, but when I relate to 'God' as a personality, and venture more within the bounderies of more orthodox theist traditions,...could could also be a 'mono-theist'. - I enjoy aspects of Gnosticism, neo-paganism, Esseneism, Theosophy, Spiritualism, Perennial Philosophy, the mystical traditions of east and west, because they all have the same golden thread of truth running thru them, by virtue of their source. I just share a more Unitarian view for praticality sake Christologically speaking, although as spiritualist-mystic I have no HUGE problem with a trinitarian Christology as far as that being a 'relational concept' in which to conceptualize the multi-faceted FACE of God, in this various personality-expressions. - on the surface its just 'conceptual'...nothing to become a martyr over.
As I've shared before the Urantia Book has a most wonderful description of what it calls the Paradise Trinity,....the highest original Godhead from which all other gods, deities, angels and mortals flow down from along a divine hierarchy. This 'Godhead' is at the very center of all reality, as all creation emenates forth outwards from it into the reaches of space. So a trinitarian relational-matrix is not foreign to me, and presents a relationally diverse matrix in which to engage 'God'. I just dont care for those pushing the orthodox definition of the Trinity as a 'dogmatic truth' or something, when I dont think it is. You can share the concept, and the only real value that concept will have is what meaning or value it can relay or communicate, as long as the conceptual frame remains coherent and useful.
As shared, there is an even higher Trinity and various other trinities (triodites, tri-unities) within the great cosmic hierarchy and systems of nature as revealed in the Urantia Revelation. There are also telepathic records and other ET sources communications that reveal most wonderful cosmologies and conceptual frames in which to reference reality. Calling our own little scope or rose-coloured glasses the only 'lens' in which reality is so defined is a bit myopic. There is so much more out there beyond our knowledge.
I also access many teachings from the Spirit-world from various schools and sources, and many spirits from those realms affirm a purely Unitarian monotheist/monist view of 'God', there is only one infinite universal SOURCE. The Law of One teachings by Ra are also seminal in this regard. So...there's lots of room for diversity but most all spirit-souls intuit a universal primal SOUL from which all is derived (the Over-Soul of Creation). There is One Supreme Being, which includes the totality of all actuals and potentials, since this 'Being' includes all evolution, all souls in its totality. - in this sense 'God' grows within the expanse of His infinite potential, interacting with creation, as all potentials and possibilities, and in this way Creator and Creation are engaged - a wonderful marriage isn't it?
I think it best sometimes before judging another negatively, that perhaps we try a positive affirmative spin on our observation, which inspires the other person to consider the positive view point. In this way we can engage in 'creative dialogue' and like artists, use our words in the most resourceful ways
"Loose lips sink ships." I have a replicate of an old wartime poster, and it reads, "Loose lips might sink ships." I think in dropping the "might," we welcome in a coarse and unloving fundamentalism.
Linguistically if there is another noun besides 'God,' that is on a par with God in any way, then that other noun is also God. For example, "God is love." When you posit a set of all things, including the Maker and His creation together, that set is not God, not according to me nor to the One Christian faith (Eph4:5KJV). This separates monism/panentheism from Christianity entirely and completely, they are different faiths.
But given that the Church, according to the Church's magisterium, consists of all those with faith in baptism, whether Catholic or not, there is no reason to think that believing in a panenthistic/monistic faith necessarily precludes a person from membership in the Body of Christ, just as Unitarianism doesn't necessarily do this either. The preceding in no way validates these variations, but it does allow for Christ's servants to serve their Master in whatever way we see fit, independent of the fact that our Master already tells us clearly how He encourages us to serve Him, Him speaking through the infallible teachings of the magisterium of His Church.
As a Christian, I see it as within my rights, and as correct, to insist on an interpretation of the Lord Jesus as either God or fraud. I have examined the evidence for fraud, and found it weaker than the evidence for God. And I personally don't see any justifiable position between these two extremes.
Ultimately this kind of knowledge respectfully contemplated inspires genuine worship of the divine at the very heart of existence, so uplifts, sanctifies the whole of human experience. It considers the heart of matter and spirit, the 'science' underlying all.
