... Your "no" is unwarranted ...
No, my "no", is entirely substantiated and documented with evidence:
Are the Dead....DEAD?
What you have said is (highlighted with colour and underlined by myself, just in case anyone missed it):
I'm not standing on evidence. ...
Hmmm.
[1] standing on Evidence, as I (coconut theology) am.
[2] not standing on Evidence, as you (sojourner) are.
I will continue standing on the substantial - the Rock.
You have claimed that you do what Jesus did (
Link), but you do nothing like what Jesus did, as evidenced, and merely asserted your apriori in the place of documented or substantiated evidence. In other words, all you did was 'claim'.
Jesus had command over the forces of Nature, because, along with His Father and the Holy Ghost/Spirit, He is one of the Authors of Nature, God (person/being of the Son) manifest (revealed) in the flesh of mankind (1 Timothy 3:16 KJB). You, unlike, Jesus, are not Deity (in any way, shape, form, etc). Being 'touchy feely' (all emotional based) with 'nature' (like pantheism, or panentheism - both false theologies, as God is not "in" the rock, tree, etc, for God is actually "in" Heaven; Luke 11:2, etc) does not in any way equate to being in "command" "over the forces of nature". You cannot actually calm an natural storm (as Jesus did, Mark 4:39). You never have, and you never will.
Jesus healed in two ways, [1] through the word of God and [2] through natural means mixed with faith in the Creator of those things. Jesus actually raised people from the dead (John 11:43), as did Peter and Paul through the word, by faith. Merely utilizing the natural remedies in the earth, already provided by God, does not make one a follower of God, for even the devil knows how to inflict disease, and to remove the disease he inflicted. It is why "shamans" pretend to be healers by drinking snake venom, and then drinking activated charcoal, before or after, to show themselves 'powerful' before their duped audience, claiming it is the "great power of God", as Simon the charlatan did - Acts 8:10. Activated charcoal is a known remedy, and instead of teaching the people its uses, they treat it as a secret (occult) knowledge and hoard it, so that they lift themselves up and separate from the people. This knowledge is freely given by God to all -
Healing, Health, Diet & More - SDA Maranatha Multicultural Church in American Samoa And since you do not understand the state of the dead, and refuse what the word of God says (linked above), are deceived by the spiritism of satan, who masquerades as the deceased, called 'familiar spirits', and so you could no more "raise the dead" physically or spiritually, having no knowledge of their true condition. Even your 'preaching' cannot raise the spiritually dead, as you have no understanding of their state either, having refused what God said on the matter, to suit your own "O" (opinion), as you have said (
Link).
Jesus knew about the woman at the well, because He had the Holy Ghost/Spirit (Luke 4), who (being a Person Himself, Deity), shared the omniscience (all knowing) with Jesus. Shamans have no such thing. They have "another spirit", making guesses, and err. Jesus never erred. Jesus healings also went beyond the physical malady, to the real hurt, the heart broken with sin, which Shamanism knows nothing of, for itself being sinful (1 Samuel 15:23; Deuteronomy 18:9-14), and an "abomination" (especially when attempting contact with the 'dead' and so-called 'spirits' (just evil angels playing their games)).
Biblical "meditation" is nothing like the mindlessness, centering, etc of the Shamans. Learn the difference between Biblical "meditation" (which is filling the mind with the word of God and acting upon it) and the occult, and real prayer is not centered in self, but in speaking to God, a real being in a real place above:
Biblical meditation as opposed to the occult:
Real prayer:
Jesus could forgive sins, because He is God (citation already given; see also Luke 5:21). Shamans cannot forgive a single sin, for they themselves as Biblically identified as sinners.
As for a 'spiritual path', there are only two. The "broad" way and the "narrow" way (Christ Jesus; John 14:6). Walk in any way which is not the way, Christ Jesus (who is truth itself), and it is false. Jesus showed you the way (John 14), and if you cling to Shamanism, you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. In fact, you need to read John 3. You need to read Acts 19:19. You need to read Philippians 3:8.
