https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14711108The signs of the times are lost on the blind Who have eyes but refuse to see Those who have ears but refuse to hear Deny the truth that was given for free Let the blood rise to the bridles Let them lament what they have done Let the meek reclaim God's gift In the name of the Triumphant Son The vain and deceitful, the greedy and evil With crowns of gold but feet of clay The lion of Judah, Yeshua, hallelujah Will claim His throne on judgment day Let the birds feast on their flesh Let their inequity be undone Let the lightning strike in the east And sound the return of the Triumphant Son Thy Kingdom Come Thy Will Be Done...

The Bible is not a book of "religion", Dom...
The first page of the Bible opens with this;
Genesis 1
New King James Version
1) In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Then continues with this;
26) Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness.
The opening page of the Bible forces you to ask yourself two very important questions...
Do I accept the existence of an all knowing and all powerful triune God?
And...
Do I accept that I am God's creation and He is in control of my destiny?
If your answer is no, then the Spirit will not enable you to understand the rest of the Bible as it should be. You will not see it from God's perspective (Jesus' Amplified Point Of View). You will only intellectualize the obvious wisdom it contains and dismiss the rest, leaving you with many more questions.
However, you shouldn't be discouraged. The fact that those questions will stick with you is also the Spirit at work. If you earnestly seek God then the Spirit will answer you.
On the other hand, if you allow your intellect to continually struggle and argue with the Spirit, then you deny the power of God.
It is better to fear God than trust your own limited understanding. You should also fear your self indulgent and sinful nature. Being made in His image gives you access, a right of passage. But it does not give you any authority, only dominion over lesser creatures.
You should also understand that you are not God, and respect His divinity.
Matthew 12
31)“Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
32) Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.
The Bible is the only place you can find the Spirit of God. Hey Tony! That's the clearest I've ever heard it stated. Good read!! I printed it off. Thanks! Bill
