Re: Living Souls
Hello Tomi,
In order to understand scripture/God, you need to take account of the fact that HE MADE HUMANITY (and all).
Only He can understand the human mind/soul, conscience, and FEELINGS/living water.
On the cross, He poured out "living water" to symbolize that we need to actually FEEL human feelings from a WARM BEATING HEART ("heart of FLESH") in order to learn from His Spirit to have a mind of peace/truth etc..
God is a master philosopher and explains how we should avoid all of the "fiery darts" and bullcrap of this world.
Jhn 7:38 He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, 'Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.'"
Jer 2:13 for my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters
Rev 7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more
Isa 49:10 they shall not hunger or thirst
Many people have "HUNGERED" for God, but they were not all sincere/"thirsted".
Eze 11:19
And I will give them one heart, and put a new spirit within them; I will take the stony heart out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh,
Eze 36:26 A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will take out of your flesh the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
Psa 73:26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever
Psa 84:2 My soul longs, yea, faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.
Eze 44:9 "Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and flesh, of all the foreigners who are among the people of Israel, shall enter my sanctuary.
