I think it’s an AI.
It is doing a lot of copy and paste
Greetings
no, I have studied daily for 30 years but thank you, AI man-made can not compete with the Lord
when studying I use Microsoft Word I type my words or dictate my words
when you ask me a question it is how you ask the question you ask me, and I go to my bible to give you an answer
the pasting is just the word, I can think, I can understand and I can give Love
it’s how you receive mysteries
the Lord Love Creativity
No the Lord loves honesty and openness two things you do not display.
Are you saying the Lord hates creativity?
greetings
no, because I don’t put God in a bottle

No, Eve got creative, instead of being honest about what God said.
Look at the world, you’ll see lots of creativity, but how much is to the glory of God.
No you just don’t answer questions.
So what you are saying is… God is evil… Because God is Creative… That is why we call God, The Creator.
And because you tie creativity with dishonesty, that makes God a Liar…
A simplistic response .
Creativity is only ’ good ’ when the intent is to honour God.
So what you are saying is that it is evil for school children to draw pictures of apples. And it is evil for architects to design houses for you to live in. And you are saying it is evil for doctor’s to discover cures and vaccines for diseases. And you are saying its evil to come up with new recipes for tasty dinners. And you are saying it is evil to drive in cars designed creatively by car manufacturers…
Talk about an over simplified answered not backed by Scripture in any way shape or form unless you twist the Bible.
You have a bad habit of insisting that people said things that they never actually said.
@MrE
And you have a bad habit of implying a line of logic is a literal occurance.
Also, a habit of injecting yourself into a conversation like Beetlejuice looking to score a new wife. Except no one said your name 3 times.
Or did they… Anyone own this? (Looks around the room. No sign of hands going up.)
Or are you stalking me? Can’t you find someone else to hover over? I am truly not talking with you @MrE , but for some reason you are acting like I am your new favorite tv show. While I am just trying to move on. Please, move on.
And let @Who-me answer for himself. Unless you are in fact, Who-me, jumping from one profile to another. Then I would say, “Um, I have something to do in another room…”
I mean, @MrE, you did say that you don’t suffer fools, right?
That was you in another post? Right? And yet, here you are. Poking bee hives. Looking for fools. Continuing to talk to the implied fool in that previous post. So in retrospect, is the fool the person running away from fool haters? Or the Fool Sufferer chasing down Fools to engage…?
Again, @MrE , I am not looking to engage you. And yet, here you are…
A man who cannot stand to look fooliah is a man who views a tarnished appearance as an act of war,. Even when no one knows who they are in real life. Unless other people on here do know who they are in real life. Then I imagine they do care a great deal about their online appearance.
Regardless, such a man has not discovered the grace of God. As they claim perfection before they have known it. Confusing the material as spiritual.
Or the outer cup for the inner. Possibly because a mother’s love was never there. Because she was sick, absent, or did not have the capacity to love within herself- taking due dillegence to make sure those cups were squeaky clean and polished to perfection. Leaving them in a glass showcase and never filling them- Metaphorically speaking, of course, pure speculation of people and situations I cannot possibly know. But this is what I think, let’s be clear. I do think this is true.
No wonder such a man would think that love is just pure Hogwash. Hum Bug. Such a man would refuse to testify of God’s work in their lives. Refuse to show their humanity. Refuse to show vulnerability.
The only other possibility for not doing these things would be that said person is an actor, pretending to be something they are not. Because to them this is all a game. Or because they have nefarious purposes. And neither of these options inspire trust. Trust, let’s say, to click on a link they might post in order to share else where about prophecies and dreams. Or to take the bait of feeling easier around said person because they shared a story of an ironic hair cut or a nonspecific set of dreams about their Dad
Unless we know what love is, we cannot possibly begin to grasp any understanding of God. So such a person, regardless of motives, should investigate the nature of love and ability to care. If only to have a better understanding of the Nature of God.
Or they should pass a test that such a person is incapable of passing. Without knowing it is a test
Deflection denied.
It was just an observation. Your repeated use of “so you are saying” when saying something that a person just didn’t say, is called intellectual dishonesty. You know it isn’t true, but you say it anyway-- on purpose.
Instead, when referencing something someone said that you want to comment on-- quote them saying it. Don’t make something up and assign it to them “as if” they said it, when they didn’t. This is just common courtesy.
This is a discussion board. There’s a handy tool you could use if you intend to have a private conversation… otherwise, expect people to enter any conversation at will.
lol… don’t flatter yourself. This is you not talking to me? 12 edits and three dozen lines of text directed to me is you moving on?
No, I think we’re already engaged. 
But please. I need a little time. I’m not ready to go public or set a date yet. It will have to remain a secret.
There you go… engaging me again. I’m sorry. I think I’m going to have to break it off.

yes it was over simplistic. but so was your response to my earlier post.
While I was simplistic the basic principle remains that only work done to honour God is in spiritual terms good.
The doctor curing illnesses, the teach teaching pupils, the scientist discovering cures or new things is serving themselves if they are not doing their work for God.
I disagree. Thank you for sharing.
Christ is called the Good Phsysician.
And doctors serve their patients.
Christ is called, the Teacher.
Teachers serve their students.
Christ taught Christians to serve others. By this, we also serve God.
I also think Creativity is a gift from God. A gift that can be misused. But so can prayer and Scripture.
So yes, I disagree. Is that too simplistic for you?

I disagree. All work that benefits creation is done for God. Doctors, teachers, scientists are serving themselves, others, and God simultaneously. They don’t have to be a part of organized religion; they can even be atheists. If they are benefiting any part of God’s creation, they are doing good (in spiritual terms).
Fellow community members:
Regarding the subject of this thread “Warring against The Spirit of Truth”:
If one accepts the Holy Bible as The Word of God, that it is without error; if one accepts the Bible “is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”( 2 Timothy 3:16), then that one should yield to it, and carefully heed what it says. That person should accept that what The Bible says is authoritative to them, it is imposing its mastery over one’s own thoughts and desires. I am familiar with folks in this boat.
If one does not accept The Bible as authoritative, or views it in some way as flawed, man-made, man-influenced, subjective, or as subordinate to personal interpretation, then what it says must also not be authoritative to that person. That person may welcome the words of the Bible as being instructive, beautiful, pleasant, or useful to one’s own ends, even “spiritual” to some degree, but it will remain acceptable only as being filtered through one’s personal bias. Some may feel we are all in this boat, we actually have no choice. I understand. But, if you do approach The Bible from this perspective, then you can safely ignore what I say in the remainder of this post. That’s because what I am offering below are portions of The Bible that are germane to this topic, but they are offered as the final authority, i.e. wielding unreproachable and unassailable clout. In-other-words, I offer them not as my flawed opinion, or as my personal interpretation, but as the authoritative word of God Himself. I don’t expect anyone to take my word for anything, but I expect The Word of God to accomplish that for which God sent it (Isaiah 55:11); I expect The Word to do the work.
When considering what “waring against the spirit of truth” looks like, I turn to The Bible for the definition of “The Spirit of Truth”. In The Holy Bible The disciple/apostle John uses “The Spirit of Truth” to refer to a person (He), specifically the person of The Holy Spirit of God Himself.
…The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. John 14:17
"But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. John 15:26
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. John 16:13
So it follows that warring against the spirit of truth is warring against The Holy Spirit of God. Since (as noted earlier in this thread) The fruit of The Holy Spirit of God is a fruit that displays [love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control]. It follows then that one warring against The Spirit of Truth would also NOT be displaying this kind of fruit. God The Holy Spirit, through the pen of the apostle Paul, puts it this way his inspired letter to the Galatians.
I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
Galatians 5:16-26
Now where Paul says: For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.” I think this is what OneIs TheWord is sharing.
There is difficulty in The True Christian Life because the world in which we reside, does not know us….
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us,
that we should be called children of God!
Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 1 John 3:1
There is further difficulty in The True Christian Life because we still bear the burden of the flesh, a proclivity for error which wars against The Holy Spirit of Truth. The disciple/apostle John speaks on this dichotomy in his little letter titled First John. He says:
You are of God, little children,
and have overcome them,
because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.They are of the world.
Therefore they speak as of the world,
and the world hears them.We are of God.
He who knows God hears us;
he who is not of God does not hear us.
By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.Beloved, let us love one another,
for love is of God;
and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.In this the love of God was manifested toward us,
that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world,
that we might live through Him.In this is love,
not that we loved God,
but that He loved us
and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
1 John 4:4-11
“Love”, to John, is not a sentimental feeling, but it means to act (operate) in a manner that is in the best interest of others. When Paul says “For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another,” he is speaking of the flesh waring against The Spirit of Truth. He further states that knowing which side of the war one is on can be observed by what that person does, it can be seen in the span of that person’s love. John and Paul both speak the Words of The Holy Spirit when they tell us walking “in The Spirit” looks like acting (operating) in the best interest of others, being peacemakers (un-waring). Walking in the flesh looks like warmongering; it is a display of the flesh, and in opposition to the fruit of The Spirit of Truth.
Those who hear John are in fellowship with John. And John says:
We are of God.
He who knows God hears us;
he who is not of God does not hear us.
By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
I am aware, and prepared for this post to get flagged as unacceptable to the community. Let me preempt that with my apology. I am sincerely only trying to bring remembrance to what The authoratative Word of God says on this subject. I am fully aware of the varied viewpoints represented in this community. I mean no offence.
