Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind.~Colossians 2:18<br /><br />I chose a book from the library which was apparently about visions of Jesus. But even this was creepy, these so called visions of Jesus were telling people to divorce and all sorts of things. I gave up with that one.<br /><br />There are some funny books about. I guess we're warned that the devil himself can appear as an angel of light.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097784379722861203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-33678432172323421882012-04-29T17:08:09.622+01:002012-04-29T17:08:09.622+01:00Thanks everyone for your comments - and Floss, I t...Thanks everyone for your comments - and Floss, I think your comment is really helpful - and yes, it is incredibly difficult to find the balance!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-69808889843269035732012-04-29T16:37:19.990+01:002012-04-29T16:37:19.990+01:00Yes, this fairly recent angel stuff is rather odd,...Yes, this fairly recent angel stuff is rather odd, isn't it? Have you noticed that it always gives the readers pretty much what they want, rather than challenging us? An acquaintance over here is into faintly similar stuff and it's not helped her to look out much - what I've seen of it seems very 'me centred' without giving real self-knowledge.<br /><br />'Bibles' is a funny term but I suppose Delias's books have been 'cooking bibles' for years, and known as that, too.<br /><br />I'm showing the 'Try Praying' bus advert as part of a small series on advertising that I'm teaching to French adults at the moment. People find it surprising that faiths can advertise in the UK, but I find it surprising (and nasty) that there are a lot of adverts for clairvoyants on lamp posts and the radio here.<br /><br />I try for a balance between smug confidence that my way is right, and over-tolerance of things that actually harm. The one thing I can be certain of is that I don't get the balance right all the time!Flosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098894367955345944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-31868594839711177832012-04-29T16:05:11.971+01:002012-04-29T16:05:11.971+01:00My dad used to recite Abou Ben Adhem and I still h...My dad used to recite Abou Ben Adhem and I still have the poetry book with this poem in.
