Oh really? Then you are unregenerate! The scripture repeately speaks of God, the Sprit, and Christ dwelling within man, and of looking inward to the mind where Christ dwells: (John 14:16-17) "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; "Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, _because it seeth him not_, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be _in you_." Jesus says that God shall be inside us. Robert says it is impossible to find God and his will by looking inside ourselves. Robert cannot receive this spirit because Robert 'seeth him not.' (1 John 4:2-4) Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: _And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist_, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that _is in you_, than he that is in the world. Scripture says: "... He that is *IN* you ..." Robert says: God and his will are not inside ourselves. The 'ourselves' Robert is referring to is the anti-christ and his children. That's his group of Christ-deniers. Jesus said they cannot see the spirit of truth dwelling inside, so of course they will deny that he dwells inside. (Rom 8:9-11) But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell _in_ you. *Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ,* he is none of his. And if Christ _be in you_, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead _dwell in you_, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that _dwelleth in you_. Scripture says: We are in the Spirit and the Spirit is within us. Scripture says: Christ is *IN* us. Scripture says: The spirit of resurrection dwells inside us. Robert says: God and his will are not inside ourselves. (Rom 7:21-25) I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the _inward man_: But I see another law in my members, warring against the _law of my mind_, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the _mind I myself serve the law of God_; but with the flesh the law of sin. Scripture says: The law of God dwells in our mind. Scripture says: The inward man of the law is inside us, warring with the flesh. Scripture says: The mind itself serves the law of God from within. Robert says: God and his will are not inside ourselves. Robert denies that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. (1 John 4:2-4) God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit dwell IN the regenerated saint. You, Robert, have just denied that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh! (1 John 4:2-4) You said it is impossible to find God and his will by looking inside ourselves. Jehovah says exactly the opposite of what you say: "I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts .... And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord." Jehovah says none of his sons will have any need for any other man to teach them the law of God, because the law will be _inside_ them, and that is exactly where they will look for it. Robert, you are a liar and you have denied that Christ is come in the flesh. (1 John 4:2-4) Jehovah says that the saints are his tabernacle. He dwells in our minds and bodies. Thus the mystery of God is made plain: (2 John 1:5) And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. _Look to yourselves_, that we lose not those things which _we have wrought_, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, _he hath both the Father and the Son_. Robert the slanderer transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ. He denies that God has the power to dwell within man, and make man his temple. Robert teaches that man can not know the will of God within himself, or find God within himself, when the scripture repeatedly speaks of God taking up residence in the mind, heart, and body of man. The scripture says that whoever denies that Christ and the Father dwell in the flesh, is of the spirit of anti-christ. Robert is declaring himself to be God, instead of God dwelling in him. Robert the Pharisee has cast Jesus out of the Temple, and is calling for Jesus to be crucified by falsely accusing the servants of Jesus of breaking the law of God, when by faith we keep the law, and the law dwells within us, as it is written. Little children, mark the blasphemer, Robert the Pharisee, and his twisted and contradictory words. Do not be afraid of his lies. God dwells inside his people. His mind is in them, and that is the only place to find Him: (Luke 17:21) "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." Those anti-christs who are not his people, of course will not find him by looking inside themselves. So they set up idols outside themselves, such as church, and magical bible spells, and credos, and ministries, and worship that: "And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them." (John 14:26) "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, _he shall teach you all things_, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." Robert is a pretender and false brother, groping in the dark, postulating and posturing. He has denied the Father and the Son. Because he already considers himself righteous he has no need of God to dwell inside of himself, because he has his bible, just like the Pharisees had theirs. Robert, repent of your lies, or destruction will be your lot! Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, and his mind dwells in the saints of the Most High, and they need look to no other for the will of God. (Col 3:16) Let the word of Christ _dwell in you_ richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. The invitation that Jesus offers is for God to dwell inside of man and transform man into his own image and power: (Rev 3:20-1) "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." Robert rejects this invitation, and curses those who have accepted the invitation, calling them law-breakers, even when the law dwells with in our hearts, and we sit in a throne with Christ rendering judgment against liars and anti-christs. -- Nightbulb https://blog.nightbulb.net Flip the night switch
