FYI, this is my first post on this site.
I don't know the people here, nor those referred to, so far.
However, I followed the question/link about .... "... get a witness" .... and did not see that as a title to a thread or topic...
Anyway, several teachers appointed by God, as He also likewise appointed the Apostles, and others, as specified in Ephesians, For His Own Purpose (and for us, to learn from, to learn from God , God's Way) ...
several teachers appointed by God, through the centuries, have clearly identified God's Plan and Purpose, and especially the witness of the first century believers - CONTINUALLY full of Peace, Joy and Righteousness (i.e. not sometimes, not on and off... at least when it was written about them) ....
and even I think somewhere it is written about the fullness of the Creator or of Jesus dwelling/abiding/ living / filling us who are living in Jesus...
so , that's quite a point from God's Word, from Jesus, as the Father Reveals from Heaven to little children , eh ?! (He Hides this, from certain "educated ones"/"scholars", as Jesus Reveals in the NT ) ....
In other words, today, the very wicked days all over the world,
someone who
does not have access to a known , proven, or true teacher, guide, or leader,
may (and must, and hopefully is willing to)
be taught by God Himself (always in perfect harmony with all of God's Word, God's Plan, and God's Purpose Revealed in Christ Jesus Savior Messiah Lord) .
The difficulty ? In the first century, the messengers of God (the Apostles)
warned the Ekklesia (assembly of called out , born again ones)
of the wolves that were already at that time circling the flock(s) seeking to tear the flocks apart as soon as the Apostles were gone.... (which happened, mostly, or fully, as written).
The solution ? God Provides the Solution. Himself. (I think Hebrews 1 is noted in one of these here forums/topics) . Jesus is seeking to save those who are hurt, lost, confused, misled, dis-orientated, dizzy, (I guess this is like a paraphrase of the Bible verses that say Jesus came to seek and to save the lost sheep of Israel) ...... All God's Plan since before the world was created by Him... (hard for people to believe? I don't know - But this I do know - God is totally, perfectly, faithful, truthful, honest, and just, in all God Does.)
Well, I may or may not post some more this weekend/ Shabbat/ or next week....
I don't know if there is anyone active or not ...
Shalom to everyone who loves God, who is called according to His Purpose....
(Shalom= Peace , Joy, Righteousness, Healing, Wholeness, Holiness, Wholesomeness... etc all in Jesus our Savior and Lord) ...
oh.... just notices again "divine" encounter... in the subject line. Remember, fwiw, there are many false teachers, and even evil spirits - satan himself appears as if an angel of light to deceive... there are apparently in the world many more false than true... so be aware.
