Coolhand started following RETURN OF THE GODS: Johnathan Cahn Sermon and NOW THE SERPENT
-
NOW THE SERPENT WAS MORE SUBTLE THAN ANY BEAST OF THE FIELD WHICH THE LORD GOD HAD MADE. GEN 3:1. I have many thoughts about this: 1) The serpent as Satan the tempter, 2) Lucifer as the light bringer in regard to the knowledge of good and evil, 3) the serpent as the bringer of hidden knowledge, 4) the serpent as a creation of the LORD GOD, 5) the serpent called a beast of the field, and 6) the narrators introduction of the sepent and how that informs the reader. There is more that can be said on the subject but I am just going to write about the above verse. THE TEMPTER The name Satan obviously is not in Gen 3:1 and the sepent is simply refered to as the serpent though people say the serpent is Satan. I believe that Satan is a title and not a name meaning "adversary, opposer, slanderer, or accuser." It is my opinion the name of Satan would actually be HALELL THE SATAN, but that is just my opinion and Scripture does not do it that way. There is only one place in Scripture where Satan is referred to as Hallel, and that is an assumption anyway. All that aside, he is only refered to as the serpent. Instead of giving a name, the narrator only comment to the serpent's subtlty (craftiness, understanding, wisdom, shrewdness, treachery, being clever, and cunning). To me this is forecasting something about the serpent informing the reader to keep and eye on him. THE LIGHTBRINGER Ive heard people refer to the serpent as Lucifer. Lucifer is a Latin not even Hebrew, and is used as: light bearer, shining one, morning star, son of the morning. So before the sepent even does anything, there is a lot of theological baggage by many brought to the text. BEAST OF THE FIELD This is where it gets good. Though the sepent is subltle, (crafty, has understanding, is wise, is shrewd, is treacherous, is clever, and is cunning), the sepent is a beast of the field over which GOD had given the man and woman diminion (rule, control, authority) over. The serpent was also a created being subject at this time to man. MANY APPEARANCES What I find interesting about the serpent, is that the serpent (a serpent) shows up in all the ancient civilations. I watched ANCIENT ALIEN ORIGINS and this guy (assuming its the same) has revealed many secrets to man through out the ages. In Genesis the serpent is a beast in the field. In other places he (they) are in flying crafts. In others they live underground in hidden secret places. The commonality of a serpent bringing revelation of something whether good or bad shows some connectedness to the stories in my opinion.

MASS DELIVERANCE: Win Worley sermon
Jonathan H. B. Lobl replied to Coolhand's topic in Monotheist Theologies & Scriptures
I'm not sure what I can contribute. The importance of forgiveness? Maybe. Demons and witchcraft? The occult? Sorcery? Yoga? I have nothing to contribute. This is paranoia and fear. -

Its not really a translation, it is more of a paraphrase. If you are interested in the details I can elaborate on how I arrived there.

That's usful, but not what I was asking. The DNS is used behind the scenes to translate the alphabtic address (eg ulc.net) into an IP address (eg 173.231.213.56) which is needed to tell the network where to find the site. It's the internet equivalent of a phone book. There are many DNS providers, who should give the same result. Some will also track what you are visiting, some use plain text, some allow encryption. Since you use Chrome, you are probably going via Google, or one set by your service provider. It looks like you have found the problem without getting into that (more info at https://www.steves-internet-guide.com/dns-guide-beginners/), but it is worth checking at some point if you are at all concerned about security. -
I used your link. Ulchq.com That worked. It took me to the Modesto hq. Foolish me. I had been using ulchq.net - which the Monastery uses to drive business to their site. Dirty, dirty. Just one problem. The authentic hq site in Modesto still thinks it's 2006. I'm glad I found it again. I grieve that it's 18 years out of date.

I've only ever used ulc.net before. Both https://www.ulchq.com/ and https://ulchq.com/ work fine for me in the UK, using Cloudflare DNS. Who is your DNS provider? They may have it wrong. -
