God is a Spirit

[NicholasMarks]

Blimey NM, even for you that explanation is as clear as mud!

Perhaps you missed the title of this thread Floo...God is a Spirit...and all who worship him must do so in spirit and in truth...but what if someone else stumbles upon the hysterical tactics of draining our electric/spiritual nature...so that they become rich and we become spiritually exhausted...who will worship God then. Frankly we will all be suffering from a spiritual exhaustion, which means we grow very old before our time...no wonder our health is teetering on the cusp of incurable illnesses.

NM, John Lennon said that before Elvis, there was nothing.  Don't diss the King!  He did more for people, young and old, and for music, than practically anyone before or since.  He was also, by all accounts, a decent man and quite a positive role model in his day.  Bless.

Really? I thought he was ghastly, but there you go!

[Brownie]

Oh floo, that is not the point of what I said, don't be so literal.

What was the point then?

What we are establishing here is that beneath our cloak of flesh and blood is a spiritual nature that can be creamed off by those who trick the innocence of the healthy, so that these unscrupulous people become electric leaders, or charasmatics, and we become spaced out, with little integrity.

Jesus can save us from this viral infection but only if we believe.

I think antibiotics would be more effective, even though they are not brilliant where virus infections are concerned!!

I do actually agree with you there NS but you were naming names (or a name), and it seems to me to be grossly unjust to name a person, a human being with flaws like ourselves, who did more good than harm and was generally highly regarded as a person, never mind his talent, when he was alive. 
If you must name names in that context, please pick on someone who whipped up hysteria en masse and went on to commit atrocities.

Please note, I have no personal bias here with regard to the person you mentioned.

[Khatru]

There is one distinct difference between these two you make comparison with Khatru...One taught us a science which soothes and calms our inner electric being, for the purpose of health and resurrection whilst the other drove us to the hysterical limit of our endurance, using the same electric property but with much more dire consequences.

He (Elvis) built up a machine of like minded people all for the same purpose of squeezing the electric life-blood out of the young, the impreshionable, and the sons and daughters of those who were relying on the young generation to grow up and be responssible in a world that was fast abandoning all responsibility. Hence the world we live in today.

That might be fine for you Khatru but some of us hope for better...and we put our faith where our mouth is.

So you agree that Elvis is foretold in the Bible.

I knew you'd find the evidence overwhelming..

The book of Revelation is a gift to people like our NM! It is so daft you can interpret it any way you want. If that awful man, Trump, is elected president, I am sure someone will find a verse which they will claim refers to it!

I understand your concern Brownie and Elvis was brought into the discussion by someone else and has stayed with us.

Even you can see the point I'm making even though it appears to irritate your Achille's heel...but you can substitue any other charasmatic you like...they are all feeding off the energy of their audience and for the purpose of the conservation of energy...what one person gains another looses in the extreme...and in this case it includes our moral fibre.

He did more for people, young and old, and for music, than practically anyone before or since.

Really, I mean really?

He did more for music than Beethoven?

As far as I recall - he didn't even write music. He sang it - and then he borrowed a style already established by black people and used it for commercial purposes.

Don't get me wrong - a decent enough entertainer - but more for music than practically anyone before or since?

Nah. I can think of handful of people since that have done more, and before him, a much larger group of people.

You could be right about Trump Floo...I can already see him in Revelation in many different guises. But don't get too concerned because Jesus' voice is louder, more convincing and holds real promises that Trump would be well advised to listen to...but like so many others, Floo...I'm afraid he wont.

Alright Trent.  You don't get my point.  However I will modify what I said, he did a lot for music.  Writing your own stuff isn't everything anyway, music students have to perfect other people's stuff, and add their own interpretation, all the time!   However that wasn't quite what i was getting at.

NS, don't say things about touching my Achilles' heel, it's far too personal.  I would say the same had you mentioned other well liked/loved famous people.
I think you are wrong in your assessment but you are entitled to your opinion.

The difference here Brownie is that Jesus taught us to upbuild a righteous spirit...and he showed us how to do it, whilst the mechanics of the world insist that we waste it, by walking and sometimes even racing hysterically, in the opposite direction. Now...if anyone can associate that waste as being the prime bender and destroyer of our good health then surely they are worth listening to.

Jesus Christ made this connection when he said...'I (Jesus Christ) am the way, the truth and the life.'

You are having a 'larf' aren't you?

[NicholasMarks]

You are having a 'larf' aren't you?

I wish I were.

[floo]

I wish I were.

Oh NM you are something else you really are!

[Brownie]

Sorry NS, I did mean NM.
I don't go along with what he said but it's an interesting point of view.
