Maybe it was from something you said. It seems to shift like the sands, so it's hardly surprising the only conclusions we can draw from it are somewhat vague.

We're talking about the dictation by Jesus, not something I said. Remember? And, it's not like the dictation is difficult to understand. It's not my fault that you supposedly read all of it and walked away with some weird understanding that isn't even hinted at in the dictation.

So it's all my fault? I mean, that's how you're presenting it. All I did was re-quote your quote and asked about, and what I get in return is accusation that I am at fault for not knowing there was more to it than what was quoted.

Bad Lamb. Naughty Lamb. Obviously your supernatural powers are lacking. Maybe they got buried under the shifting sands or something, you never know.

Pray for me. I guess I don't know what Jesus meant when Maria quoted Him?

Ah yes, we're back to the endless assertion that it was dictated by Jesus which is based on, well, a few people saying it is. It sounds like the profits prophets of the various kooky groups in the silly fringes of the pentecostal movements who declare each other to be prophets and figure that's all it takes.

While I added the rest of the dictation after you posted your question, prior to your having asked it there was enough of the dictation already present to show that Jesus was referring to His own power. Therefore, regardless of how you came to think He wasn't, what matters is that you see now Jesus was referring to His power when saying "their supernatural powers" in regards to the types of disciples He was was referring to, and that any supernatural powers that they exhibit come from Him for Him.

That's good to know, for sure. I wonder why she quoted him as saying "their supernatural powers" though? It doesn't make sense if Jesus truly said it that way to her?

Because there's more than one way to say something. Welcome to the world of language. As I said, Jesus was referring to His power when saying "their supernatural powers" in regards to the types of disciples He was was referring to, because later in the dictation He was referring to them when He said, for example, that they "transmit My Light," and are "acting for Me." Therefore, any supernatural powers that they exhibit come from Him for Him, not themselves as you asserted.

So when Jesus refers to my powers he's not actually referring to my powers at all? Curious. I remember reading somewhere else about God not being the author of confusion. Maybe God forgot what he really wanted to say, it's easily done. As I get older I sometimes forget things, and God is a lot older than I am.

Multiple times I've shown where and why Jesus is referring to His power. So, now you're just deliberately pretending to be confused to say or imply there's a "problem" in the dictation when there isn't a problem.

Yes you have, you keep saying that when Jesus refers to my power he really means his power. It just leaves me wondering why he didn't refer to his power in the first place.

What do you think about the people who claim that God told them something directly? How do you tell that person that their discussion goes against scripture? If they have believers, how do you convince them that God really didn't tell them...?
I like to reply on their own turf saying, "Well God hasn't revealed (whatever they are saying) that to me. That often quiets them down.

I don't see why that would or should quiet them down if it does at all. Imagine if the people responded to the prophets of the Old Testament by saying, "Well God didn't reveal that to meee." If God revealed to everyone there wouldn't be a need for prophets in the first place.

It's not as I asserted as you claim...it was your quote. If Jesus truly had said it, He wouldn't have caused confusion.

Again, you were wrong in your understanding of the dictation, and I showed you why. You asserted that Jesus meant "a power of their own" by the words "their supernatural powers." In reply, I explained that Jesus was referring to His power when saying "their supernatural powers" in regards to the types of disciples He was was referring to, because later in the dictation He was referring to them when He said, for example, that they "transmit My Light," and are "acting for Me." Therefore, any supernatural powers that they exhibit come from Him for Him, not themselves as you thought and asserted. It's not that you were confused, but rather you just hadn't read more of the dictation. If you had, you wouldn't have thought and asserted that.

So you keep saying, but you still didn't explain why Jesus referred to my power when he meant his power. Whether or not I'm transmitting Jesus' light is nothing to do with whose power it is. Unless there's some reason why it's not possible to use my supernatural powers to act for someone else your argument falls apart. Again. There seems to be something of a pattern here.

I can do that too.

Are you just going to endlessly repost the exact same thing, word for word? I have to admit it's a curious way to make a point that doesn't stand up against testing, but then it's a strange point being presented strangely so I don't suppose I should be surprised by this.
