Even though he can't legally make me do this, I am a nervous wreck. I am afraid of him and his mafia type friends. I changed the locks and put up security cameras.
PLease pray for my strength, courage and help with this matter. To make things worse, I have been living here on the East coast with my mother for about 3/4 of the last 2 years. My home is in California, along with my 2 dogs and the rest of my life. I have no idea how long it will take to resolve this estate, and I am quite depressed about. I would just like to go home and back to my life.
Thank you for your prayers.

If it was then I would have to agree with you ,it is very difficult to recognise one own errors.
Yet if I am in error is it any use for someone simply to quote some scriptures that do not address those other scriptures some of which I quoted in an argument that pointed out how much grief the Lord had over the same subject? Yet the response as always is simply to come back with those Scriptures that suit a particular line of thinking . Yet if my understanding of them is wrong and the other right surely they shouid be able to enlighten me? As to why those scruptures do not apply .
I refuse to go into what I call a head banging session so I'll stand by what I said unless another can convince me otherwise .
And if it is argued that the Holy Spirit enlightens then on that ground I'll still stand .
And refuse to 'shout' at each other . My objections should be answered not ignored for replying with the same s riotures that suit but ignoring those that apply but don't is neither profitable to those who do it or to any who might be swayed by such an aproach.
You asked; "When you say I am "driving home" my viewpoint, isn't that what you do with your dispensational viewpoints?
Gigi everyone should try to drive home their viewpoint!
I said you misrepresent Galatians in regard to this topic is because you said, quoting you; In Galatians 3:16 If I read Galatians, I will know that Paul attests to the blessing of Abraham coming upon the Gentiles who have faith like Abraham along with Israelites who have faith like Abraham.
As if I never read Galatians! What I do know is that Galatians 3:16 and the other verses you offered, Dispensationist and Covenant Theologist agree on.
Everyone who enters this debate should know that the promises made to Abraham concerning the future of Israel and an Earthly Kingdom is not the promise of the seed of Christ.
That wouldn't even qualify as replacement theology.
You say I have done this many times, but you have never spoken of me as I have spoken of you, and you have not told me how wrong I am.
Gigi everything you said about dispensationist that they don't have right; you said that about me and all who are dispensationist on this site.
I am not trying to fight with you, I'm just saying what you have presented is something no one disagree on.
The very topic that you don't want to answer questions to or talk about is where these to theologies differ is the promises to Israel in Eschatology!
By for now.
There are no words adequate for what scripture states that can be expressed in regard to this subject. What we see goes into our mind and memories define the state of our soul and who we end up being after our brief passing through existence in this world as a vapor. There is; no doubt MUCH more that I'd like to express here and again I can't emphasize enough how vital it is to be on the right side of existence in this matter.
The screenplay as it were is well written and the actors well rehearsed; it is up to the director to decide when the action starts to roll. Everybody is clamoring for this moment in the world elite; waiting for the main character to spring up; as it were. Everyone knows what's going down; many don't care to think about it. False assurances don't mean a thing; for when the timing is right things MUST happen as God's Word makes abundantly clear in Revelation 4:1.
In this case; of course we have a madman who has rehearsed this role in all sorts of previous side shows; as it were. The stage has been elaborately prepared so that all the props are in place to maximize effect and gain mass adoration at an exponential rate. For the enemy of our souls has misrepresented himself and deluded himself to think he is the director when indeed the true director is controlling him to accomplish another agenda altogether.
I don't wish to reduce the very real spiritual events to a human level to be condescending to God but it helps to illustrate some basic principles of what's going on. In Satan's mind of course everything is backwards; and clearly he plans to make it seem that God's ways are illogical instead. We are; of course not to pay any attention to the "man behind the curtain" so to speak.
No doubt the world considers the Master of our souls to be a reclusive nobody who carelessly manipulates things in a willy nilly manner based on the whim of a moment. We know better.
I won't pretend to have all the answers here; but it certainly seems we are seeing almost the end of the puzzle pieces here fitting together in 2025. Revelation 13:14 states things this way: And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Now MAKING an image sounds a lot like computers and people conjuring up something for themselves; perhaps making it seem unique as an identifier in that respect. The mark therefore is more than just an economic control it embodies imprisonment of the souls of men to do Satan's bidding which ends up as Psalm 2 and Revelation 19 indicate; a mad dash to consolidate men to fight in the valley of Meddigo (Armageddon). The image of the beast therefore relates to the Zechariah 11 passage beginning in verse 15. There is a real deadly wound and this image basically will be used to mock the Resurrection or a true coming back from the dead. The idea of invincibility will be made manifest due to the killing of the two prophets showing the timing before the last 2 trumpets (and after the first "woe") when men have been tormented for months and ripe for deception. Who can make war with him is indicated here; although you would think the resulting resurrection of the 2 witnesses and the terror ensuing that the whole world no doubt witnesses would change hearts; but this shows how strong the delusion from GOD will be.
The sobering thoughts of the ultimate demise of men's souls with this infamous mark should set us all straight and we should be aghast. I strongly suggest that anyone who has not taken a sober evaluation of their own spiritual condition apart from Christ take a moment to consider these realities. No one can handle the truth without God and without Him there is no remedy.
Man and his livelihood are as one. Truth of it is in the honesty with which you justify your life to the world. "For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat."(2 Thess.3.10)
Scribes and Pharisees of his day elicited this from our Lord, "For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers./"But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments," They make a big show but their their soul is zero."
A tent maker like Paul/ Saul plied his trade so he shall not be a burden to other. What is the executive time for a POTUS. All noises and I shall leave as to his soul, is between the man and his maker. Lots chose the cities of the plains because this physicaleyes told him. "And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar."" Zoar is the outer darkness, for it is a trifle. What physical eye tell is often like the way which is broad leading to destruction. As Lot chose his place so did those who would live by their wits and with no honest trade to master the easiest route. No one had a clue of God's judgment coming. These a lemmings so rural areas are emptied since Babylon is the city that never sleeps. Honest man makes his soul refresh him sot so with hypocrites. They seek publicity as we see White evangelicals promote the interests of tehe likeminded. Earlier on in my ministry I settled the point: Glory of God who called me to light comes paramount.
As my physical tabernacle is dissolved what is seen of me is what my inner man signalled: Christ abiding in me. Sign of dew on wool given to Gideon applies to me as well.
Continuing with the concept of the last posting we can now look toward the angelic realm. We see much ado regarding images of the Virgin Mary and angels with Catholicism and other Eastern Orthodox traditions. For us to discern the difference between an angel of God and darkness we can't rely on visual aids; and we can see that clearly with Satan himself as Paul states in Corinthians as appearing like an angel of light. The litmus test on whether a spirit is from God is whether Jesus is taught as being God in the flesh which relates to the doctrine being promulgated and espoused by adherents in a cult who don't believe this. An angel of the Lord never draws attention to himself. The one time an image is portrayed is with the Cherubim in the ark of the covenant; and we notice that they are depicted as facing God therefore the attention is drawn there. We also observe that they are in human terms a bizarre creature with different heads which makes it harder to idolize or understand. To the human eye in this case something could seem repulsive which is in reality Holy because we don't appreciate it; and in the same token we take something in human eyes that is adorned lavishly and find admiration. Both cases are wrong.
God; of course doesn't judge according to outer appearances. We need to be reminded that physical attributes and other unique aspects of all creation whether serving God or fallen in state still have certain supernatural manifestations. This is why we can't assume a "miracle" if from God without a litmus test. Once the restrainer is gone; of course the fullness of Satan's plan can commence; where he is allowed authority to rule as in a world he has hijacked for millennia but never been able to totally control for Satan worship. This will involve taking over all worship; whether persecuting true believers or desecrating
all other false worship to consolidate the victory for himself. More to come.
Personalization. The real power of mass mind control of course relates to convincing each individual in regard to their unique life experiences that they share something of the "cosmos" as it were. Any rational or scientific examination of much of what is a type of predictive programming of the soul of men shows much outright fallacy; but the mind of man is easily confused and no doubt Jeremiah 17:9 demonstrates the heart of man is sick beyond understanding. We can comprehend what Isaiah 44:19 says:
And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
It is ironic that in true sacrifices as we see in the O.T. the priests could benefit from the food itself offered to God; but men who use part of a piece of wood to create an idol can't give the true God the glory for blessings only He can bestow. If God hadn't created the animals and plants to eat and our mouths to consume it then we would be as lifeless as the dead piece of wood. Food for thought...
Here is where it gets deep. I am not going to speak categorically here but I am hesitant to keep an image of anyone who has died; and for those who as far as I know are lost I can never look at their pictures again and have to destroy them. The first concept is for a saved person which sort of represents the image of God as to how they were created in outward appearance; countenance; etc. when their souls were still within them. My point here is that even if we do capture a fairly realistic image of Jesus for instance He is inwardly the image of the invisible God and cannot be viewed upon as a mere man. Jesus made it clear that only God gives revelation as to who He is as superior to a great teacher or prophet.
It seems the enemy doesn't want this posted; but out of sheer stubbornness at least I am giving it another try.
Introduction: Exodus 20; Deuteronomy 5 and the Ten Commandments
The two passages are similar with this added cavaeut in Deuteronomy 5:9-10 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
This shows what is known as "generational" curses which I won't focus on here at present; but will briefly mention the passage in Ezekiel which clearly shows that a son who is RIGHEOUS isn't judged or ultimately accountable for a father's sins; conversely a blessed father whose son goes astray doesn't avail the child any ultimate eternal benefit either even if he or she is raised in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
Anyway; we should back up to the present to study and understand what consists of the idols of all false religion. God is invisible and unique in His attributes; at best any image of him is an oversimplification as Corinthians states the foolishness of God is far above the wisdom of man. Hence we see especially in the ancient empires of Greece; Rome and Egypt many architectural representations of either deities with images of animals; symbols and "gods" that represent what in reality is stolen glory to a lesser created being of demonic inspiration who supposedly directs and controls weather; affairs of men; etc. We see varieties of this type of worship from a vague concept we see in the book of Acts to the "unknown god" to what is usually specific portraits of horrific looking hybrid creatures to whom abominable sacrifices and actions are made in an attempt to quell the fury of these entities. This robs man of the fear of God alone; and therefore also equates a reverence of at best a created being; and the source behind it an unclean demon. More to come.
Although I just thought of this as today's topic of focus; I believe it is a crucial task in order to really understand the first commandment. Let's review what it says in Exodus 20:2-7
2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
In Deuteronomy 5 we see this caveat in verses 9-10:
Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
The passage ends with God's love demonstrated toward the thousands that do love Him; signaling an end to what may be described as "generational curses". I use that term with some reservations based on God's teaching in Ezekiel that a son is not held guilty for his father's sins IF he is righteous-I am not focusing on curses as such in this posting.
To better understand what conceptually is being studied here in regard to God's true image; as it were which clearly can't be represented either accurately or reverently we continue next post
It is the face to which every heart is set in context. God fashioned all hearts alike and also the knowledge. and it is given from above. "the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." There is nothing you can add other than believe in the Son. This face is your heart, and you read therein by the light of the knowledge so word of God is the living word. (Ps.33.15;2 Cor.4.6)
The day Five is all about the body God has built up about his Son so the ark of Noah illustrates what does entering into the God's rest mean. By faith Noah stayed therein and His creation and the God's rest explain what our soul should signify for us. The inner man is refreshed by Christ in us. What is Nineveh but a name associated with natural word but their faith lifted them from judgment , "The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation" It is how saints shall judge the wicked world."The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here." Solomon is yet another instance. God chose yet another name, "And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD." Solomon failed because of his heart was estranged by his many wives. Whereas Jededaih refers to the Son.He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever."(1 Chr.22.10). Jedediah means beloved of God. "And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" These names, Jonah and Solomon are set in context of his Son. He is the soul and in the tabernacle of God among mean it is a body to which Christ shall be the head. "Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest"(1 Chr.22.9)
Sign of Jonah is a clear instance of the spiritual truth the basis for understanding the narative thrust of the word of God which shall prosper and succeed.. "And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." (Col.1.17) The entire narrative mode is built up of parallelisms book ends. God breathes into the nostrils of man and makes hima living soul. The risen Christ breather not just one but disciples present there,"he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:"( Jn 20.22) God opens in heaven, and the fountains of the great deep work at tandem."he same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened."( Gen. 7.11) The wandering of the Israelites itself is is a dry run for us and Christ as the captain of our salvation has gone before us.
So Jonah fleeing from the presence of God shall reach no where without identifying with death and resurrection of the Son.In him there is an old Nineveh and a new Nineveh. "The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here."(Mt.12.410
In Christ Jesus Jonah, the great fish, the cattle are connected. Without properly understanding the Covenant what Christian Life are we talking out. Without see the hogwash Christian nationalism is spewing out?
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind. It is not about the physical earth but the heart of the earth which sets the world distinct from the earth that abides forever.(Eccle.1.4) Just as ole old world was purged by water there shall be a baptism of fire. "Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away." These vessels and the ark of Noah are of the word of god so these do connect as in a word wide web. The bad are cast off
"
"One is the unseen Will powered by Wisdom and holiness of the word and the other made to earth"
Please read as "One is the unseen Will powered by Wisdom and holiness of the word and the other made to appear."
"For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." (v.40)
What is tthe heart of the earth? The word of God and and it was ordained before the worlds began.The slain Lamb before the worlds began is an instance of it. It is the face upon which heaven works with the earth. Not merely a natural world but we are to see two worlds framed by the earth. One is the unseen Will powered by Wisdom and holiness of the word and the other made to earth. Heb.11,3 explains this interaction. In the Parable of the dragnet we have word wide web of dropped from heaven. This net is power of his word upholding all things (Heb.1,3)
God had prepared a great fish
"Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. This is what was provided for in the Covenant "And God created great whales."(1. 21) God commanded and it was done so the body is 'after our likeness' even as lamb or cattle of the field. In his Son all these are sanctified by 'thy word, which is truth. By the same token the ark of Noah is a body and Noah built it as commanded of God. Sign of Jonah is the death and resurrection of the Son for which the whate served as a vehicle for the word of God. It is not natural world we are talking about but a world made new. The glorious liberty of the sons must deliver them from the bondage of corruption.. What was the purpose of giving the number population of Nineveh and cattle in the last line of the book of Jonah? "and also much cattle? Man and his livelihood as one. Salvation of Nineveh depended on Jonah who is set down in the narrative as the double for the Son of man. Likewise the great fish and the ark of Noah are things 'after our likeness. it is thus a dragnet id made up. works connecting one another so the will of the Father is fulfilled. Parable of the dragnet.
I have said I disagree with dispensationalism.
When you say I am "driving home" my viewpoint, isn't that what you do with your dispensational viewpoints? You have done this many times but I have never spoken of you as you have spoken of me. I have not told you how wrong you are. I have not told you how you do not understand what you are talking about in regards to a specific topic. I have not told you that you do not know rightly about dispensationalism as you have said that I do not know rightly what Reformed/Covenant theology teaches.
I am not upset at all in this process of discussing with others and you. Perhaps you are, but you will have to let me know if this is true of not. I won't tell you what you are feeling emotionally and I hope that in the future you will refrain from telling me how I am feeling emotionally. I think this is fair.
As I have said before to you-there is a difference between not agreeing with a viewpoint-such as dispensationalism- as you pointed out-and attacking it. I do not believe I have attacked dispensationalism. I have stated that I disagree with it. There is a difference. And, yes, it is absolutely OK if I say I disagree with tenets of dispensationalism I have addressed, just as I think it is absolutely OK if you disagree with tenets of Reformed/Covenant theology on this forum. I see no problem with this point.
And lastly, you end your post by labeling me a heretic and anti-semitic. These are really inflammatory and flagrant accusations.
I do not deserve to be called such just because I don't follow you doctrines or thinking. I know who I am in Christ as you know yourself. I would never slander you as you do to me.
Even so, If you wish to continue to explain your thoughts to me, I will read what you write and give it consideration as I always do. I may or may not respond. As I said in my last comment, I prefer to not continue in this conversation because of how you mis-treat me. It is not good for you.
You said you went through Galatians and Romans as you did because it clearly shows there is but one people of God throughout time.
Gigi what you presented in Galatians is not about "a people to God"
Galatians speaks ofa right relationship with God comes through faith in Jesus Christ, not by following the law.
Gigi the entire Bible speaks of Israel and the Church as two separate people and two people of God.
That's why I presented you Matthew 25:33-40.
There is the sheep on his right hand.
There is the goats on the left.
and there is "one of the least of these my brethren!
Those on his right hand, (The Sheep) is a people of God! He tells them "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: Gigi that's one! These are the tribulation saints.
There are those he call "the least of these my brethren! Israel! Gigi that's two!
And the Church is not in this group because this is during the Great Tribulation period and they have already been raptured.
Gigi this would make two people of God presented here in Matthew 25.
It would make three if the Church was included.
You said I mischaracterize you and denigrate you openly.
Gigi I pointed out you misrepresented those scriptures in Galatians when you tried to drive home your point.
Those scriptures you presented was clearly far off topic in regards to this debate.
Gigi you often willingly attack dispensationalists views and you feel that's ok.
And it is ok if you believe they are incorrect.
But you misrepresent scripture often in your arguments and get upset when you are called out on it.
I will leave this conversation with you but I will touch on some things you said in an earlier post and show why I say you are representing a heresy that misrepresent God and is antisemitic.
Good night and God bless.
It is unfortunate that your daughter's fiance oopsed on the photo shoot.
I will pray for God to help them to overcome the disappointment and mistake to go on to a wonderful, beautiful, engagement phot shoot with great pictures to share with the ones they love.
Please remind both of them that in any marriage, even godly ones, there will be so much bigger things spouses will experience and need to forgive and move past things that hurt or misunderstand, or are mistakes.
We have been married 46 years and there have been plenty of matters like this, but we are committed to having a loving, forgiving marriage with the knowledge that neither is perfect or will ever be the perfect person for the other. But we are given to one another by God to grow us in godliness, love, and fruits of the Holy Spirit within a relationship we freely chose and have committed ourselves to for life.
We know that we HAVE to work things out and bear with each other in our sinfulness, be quick to forgive, not keep a record of wrongs, and be patient, looking out for the best of the other in how we decide to react to their failings.
May God bless these two people with love for Him above all else and healthy, giving love for one another. May their marriage be strong, built on communion in prayer, Bible study, always with compassion for the other and hope for God's work that will be done in them throughout their marriage.
