Since “The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom”, i believe it’s a spiritual matter. Without the grace of God to choose us and draw us near Him, natural man remains in the dark. I know a few folks who are so bright, yet so off-track because they don’t know God. Good question!

I wonder, sometimes the intelligence is so focused on knowing the traditions and rules they never actually learn to know the main thing, the creator as Abba?

Question, do you believe this scripture could be also speaking to the Harpazo? I have my leanings but I am likely bias of course.
Matthew 6:13
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
? Is it possible we should pray this over the body of Christ not just ourselves.
After all this all starts out with Our Father?
Would the Lord release the Seals upon the World without delivering us from the massive temptations to come from this action from Him? I see the Seals as judgement.
Different perspective
This Temptation does not come from Yeshua but from Man and the Devil.
Luke 22:46
“Why are you sleeping?” He asked. "Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.
So it seems the factor could be who is the cause of the temptation, not who is allowing it ( Abba).

Yep, this lady is a wealth of knowledge.
The Only Hope is Yeshua/Jesus even though we are being exposed to all of this, our salvation and healing comes from the Lord. Surely there are other ways the contamination can be neutralized at best. Its impossible to stop them as this is in scripture but there is probable natural ways created by our creator that should be used while possible.
Soon if we are not removed they will have removed enough human to not be still be called human. The witches brew is filling the earth but fear not we have a way out of this and the time is at hand!

Water Martin’s, Kingdom of the Cults (before Ravi Zacharias updated it) had a section on SDA. He did not categorize them as a cult. However, he did suggest it leans in that direction and that some denominations may indeed be cults while others not. Their heavy observations on the Catholic church I believe can be helpful. But in my view, they would be a cult, not because of Saturday but because they falsely proclaimed the return of Christ date, and then when that did not happen, falsely had peeps believe He did return…kind of…and created a whole new doctrine to support their false visions.
I would say though, out of all the cults, Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Catholicism, etc…I’d be more likely open to some of the things SDA might observe in the eschatological sense. My reason (other than Catholicism’s antiquity period) is that of the three, SDA seems to have come from a genuine Christian background and went sideways. My perspective is that God will likely permit certain scenarios to develop helpful events within varying camps (perhaps to even condescend to those in falsehood) that portray and display end-time escalation patterns or specific direction or marker to have a best vantage point portrait view of end-times forming. There are certain members of the Catholic church for example, like Arch Bishop Vigano, that could be bell weather indicators helpful regarding larger contexts surrounding the Catholic church (certainly an end-time entity player to keep an eye on).

Somehow I sense a compassionate heart albeit very small, but it is there. God can work with that. It would be truly amazing to see someone so influential to come to the saving knowledge of Him dont you think?

I think so.
So many even some who claim to be believers, claim the Bible is not literally God’s words but man’s, that not all of it us true, think it’s full of error , do not use other scripture to interpret it ( because they the totality of its truth and try to privately interpret), add/ subtract from it …
Doing these things with scripture and/ or passing such ways to others is working iniquity.
It’s either 100% true or not.
The foundation of one’s beliefs and subsequent actions is integral to believing the truth of ALL the Bible.
For some reason , this question makes Andy Stanley pop up immediately in my mind. His wayward/ sloppy ways with scripture , and his denial of its God breathed quality qualifies him as a worker of iniquity.

Yes it could if the particulates demonstrated in the YT video are retained in the body. If they are not and expelled with all the other waste then not a problem.
Again it depends on whether the human body allows them to be retained and how. Are they passed though the blood stream or do sit in the lungs and stomach. If they move through the blood stream then it is possible they do make it to the brain and then there might be problems.
But of a greater concern is to the connect with the nano particles now known to be in the C-jab. If so it is more than the brain we need to be concerned about. Just creating a failure in any life sustaining organ will be deadly. So it is possible just not known at this time.
The other side of 5G is simply it does not have the ability to penetrate much more than the first few layers of skin. So if the magnetic materials do deposit and remain inside the body, they would not be affected.
That does not actually make any sense given the nature of 5G. One thing is that it is considered a microw wave. Microwaves do not penetrate solid or semi solid objects or even liquids for that matter. Second thing is the allowed power levels of transmission are in the milliwatt to low watt range which is a very weak signal. The less transmission power used the less likely it will travel very far and so unless you spend months next to a 5G tower chances are good that there is no affect.
Conclusion: In normal terms 5G under normal operating power is not strong enough to enter deply into the body. Next is even if nano particles whether from the C-jab or inhaled or ingested from sprays in the air could be reached inside the body it would have to be at the surface level and then act as a means of moving the signal through the body before it could be activated to create some kind of kill switch. The other side of this is could the transmission signal be boosted at will? Yep they could but more than likely the first affect would be a cooking the outer layers of flesh, think sunburn. Dead cells are not going to react to any interference with microwave radiation. So could it be possible? Of course it might be under certain circumstances. Do we know for sure that 5G will be used in connection with things introduced into the body via the environment or via injection? Not really. Sadly the best info available is not complete as not enough testing has been done on enough possibilies and finding anything at all is confusing. There are so many variations about the affects it is hard to pin down something conclusive. One side says, “oh there is no problem,” the other side is all doomsday with fear porn. Niether side has much to back up their stances. So the final answer is we just don’t know.
With that being said, best option is to err on the side of caution, given what we know so far about prophecy and how technology will likely be playing a major roll. What we are assured of is two things, prophecy will be fulfilled and as such we are now and likely soon to see things we never imagined in the past and the second is regardless of what happens God is control and at the appointed time Jesus will come for the church and remove them from the earth before the historical climax is reached. My motto is simple, “fly or die, I am out of here soon enought.”

It’s makes sense when finally understanding that knowledge and wisdom are not the same.
One could be extremely intelligent
( knowledgeable) but have no wisdom ( ignorant) of truth ( there’s scientists, politicians, people with doctorates, high IQ, winners on Jeopardy 
that KNOW A LOT , but are not wise at all )
Many with vast knowledge but no wisdom because they DO NOT know God are the proponents of the trans agenda, climate change, abortion, equity / social justice etc .
They sound wise to others who are also not wise!
Wisdom :
Conversely, a person that’s considered to “ not know a lot “, could be actually very wise in the things of the Lord.

Thank you,
Yep, and I would like to have one of those mallets to knock the bobble head back down. Just kidding as we know he had all that was needed to see the truth. One has to wonder why or what lead him from the scriptures. He still has breath and wouldn’t it be a blessing to see him get saved.
Anyway I liked this answer to the question. All scripture is God breathed if its really in a True Bible of The Holy Spirit.
I use King James as scripture and the rest as commentary for the most part.
There are some Bibles I would not classify as the Holy Scriptures the one that comes to mind is the so called Message and those we know that are from cults.
So the answer is not as straight forward as it sounds.
The answer is yes the Holy Scriptures are protected if they are in a true Bible.
Good thing is One True Scripture can turn millions to Christ if the Holy Spirit has his hand on it, so even a cult Bible if it has true scripture mixed in can deliver a willing soul to salvation in my opinion.

I agree. I was treading lightly as I am KJV pretty much always and know some do use other translations.
It yes, looking into some of the issues with various translations, the Bible must be true in translation from the purest writings.
The two versions ( NOT really translations) would be the Message as you mentioned and The Passion that are not actual scripture.
Regarding cults , I know the Mormons use the KJV but they alter it to their beliefs as well as read added texts they equate with the Bible.
In Eastern Orthodoxy, they use the the KJV and they do not add or subtract but their issue is warped interpretations that when studied are nothing but their lack of understanding of things like Jewish history and purpose as a whole ( add to that that they are in the replacement theology camp ) as well as they DO NOT use scripture to interpret scripture.
I think much of the problem with interpreting scripture is many do not use other scripture to do so. It’s not that they add or subtract directly but they will use eisegesis, personal experience in place of or added to scripture. The Orthodox Church talks more about stories of this saint or that saint which although maybe proven history, many times they’re stories that are considered true only because they’ve been passed down generation to generation and are therefore accepted as completely true yet can not be 100% verified and of course are not a part of the canon of scripture.
One of his defensive phrases is “ that’s how you interpret it, that’s what YOU believe “ which frees him to defend Eastern Orthodox doctrine because he simply accepts that scripture is open to many interpretations ( and yes, I explained the “ no private interpretation verse and the necessity to use scripture to understand scripture but he simply is not spiritually mature enough to grasp that ).
Let me give an example of knowledge vs wisdom:
My husband has a very high IQ. He graduated high school young and did 4 years college working ever since with the DOE in nuclear waste, treatment etc. He honestly at home is like MacGuyer😂. He can fix almost anything, electrical, appliance, vehicle etc. It’s quite amazing.
However, he grew up some birth and from many generations before him in the Greek Orthodox Church. Now, remember what I relayed earlier as I explain the rest.
After listening to his priest give a “ sermon “ he sometimes will ask me questions…
Have you heard of that story and is it in the Bible?
If the sermon is from the gospels ( which is all they cover , which is problematic in itself ) then I can say yes but because they do not do scripture to scripture explanation, many times the sermon is not what the Bible passage is even talking about.
If the sermon is on one of THEIR saints, it’s not found in the Bible and many times the story is mystical, new agey and just plain conjecture.
He has asked me what the blood of the lamb means after he heard that term.
While watching a History channel program on the tomb of Jesus and opening it he asked me if his body was there ???( I know the history channel is not a go to for biblical knowledge! But I’m proving a point ).
The priest during a conversation with him during coffee hour while I was telling him my son backs the the theory of evolution, the priest said that’s not really a huge concern. My husband also has misconceptions about creation.
To not drone on and bore you, I will not go on and on other than to say that I am not at all demeaning my husband. But this is a good example imo if having knowledge but not wisdom because wisdom is from God and comes through correctly translated Bible but also proper interpretation and exegesis of the verses. Thus improper interpretation that misleads, denies or omits truth is in fact working iniquity and those doing it improperly are then workers of iniquity because it’s either not true, partly true or leading away from what’s true !
So many do not get the NT links to the OT and how there is a commonality and progressive so to speak woven story line that absolutely ties the whole of the Bible together.
Hopefully I made sense in trying to elaborate on your great question

This morning I was praying for my two grandsons at the bus stop as we set in the car.
I asked for the Lord to give them protection by guardian angels and more wisdom that they did not have.
Automatically my older grandson (ADHD) asked do you think we are dumb? I said you know better than that.
I said wisdom (again) has little to do with intelligence, and you need the wisdom from God. It doesn’t matter how smart you are when compared to wisdom that shows you how to understand things as they are…

Yes, I agree they said they were going to speed up the 2030 agenda didn’t they.
Praying down strong holds and asking for Godly wisdom and protection sounds like a plan.
We all knew this day would come and expect to see the rest of the plan move quickly also.
Keep Looking Up!

Great discussion Steph and Dan. I don’t really have anything to add to the discussion. But in some small offshoot way, perhaps an augmentation to the conversation. I was recently scolded publicly on a youtude channel for challenging the notion that conflicts with the aspects of the Orthodox Church. The presumption was that you can’t know the actual inspired word of God because only the originals were inspired. And as true as part B on that is, I have been encouraged in how God has preserved Israel until now (all these centuries). And also His word.
My guess is that we can tend to place much on the actual hieroglyphics used to get meaning from (like per versions of the bible. It would appear there are ways in which His spirit in His word transcends version (not speaking of cultic distorted versions). His word as I understand it is spirit: John 6:63 , Col 3:16, 1 John 4:24, Heb 4:12, 1 Peter 2:2.
In how I would perceive transcendence is likely a supernatural glory embedded in concentrate uniquely Spirit breathed into scripture that works with our inner man. There seems to be a relationship that occurs of His spirit and our inner spirit whereabouts some illumination can and may occur amidst much otherwise distorted views.

Gnostic - This is what what my extremely intelligent brother-in-law is. He is also a Druid and attends the Stonehenge for winter solstices and celebrations. Well we are all old now, I doubt if he still attends those.
He thinks of himself as god-like and believes he will become one. A few years ago, he informed Mike and me that he had found a way to god. As I recall it was an equation he had developed. I immediately spoke up and told him that Jesus said, He is the way, the truth and the life. My BIL went into a rage and stormed out of our home & has never spoken to me since then. He hates me with a passion I’ve never seen before from anyone.
I will listen to your video now…thanks Dennis

That’s what happens when you enter the reef with a deep draft sir. Lol, but I salute you for your courage! 
I know you knew you were stepping into troubled waters.
Agreed, the Spirit must teach us when and where He see’s the opportunity
I would say Holy Spirit clears the confusion out of the way so we can see through the glass more clearly. Yes, the Words Matter but he also controls our understanding if our hearts are seeking truth and at the opportune time that is in my shallow way of seeing it.

He hates as you know, who is in you. The demon inside can’t restrain himself. At least that is what is sounds like.
Yes, I have a few like that in my downline 
They seem to be popping up more in my prayers as things get darker outside.
