'Inner-Linear' is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

My play on words - forgive me if it offended you.
Other things are more likely too. But if I am not battling for the interpretation that the law is most important thing in the bible, what good would I be?

Oh, i believe God's Law is the MOST Important.

God's Law is CHRIST and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

Where else would they be???
There no Holy Bible scripture to support your own false doctrine and claim.

But ours do, for Christ alone since have been the 'firstfruit' or 'firstborn' of resurrection from the dead, and none else until He returns .

For the Apostles and the church saints who in Christ and dead are 'asleep' until now, since Christ have not return yet.

1 Corinthians 15:
51. Behold, I shew a mystery; We shall not all asleep, but we shall all be changed.


The Apostles were claiming then itself to the church saints that Jesus is coming soon and at any time, preparing them.

That's why Paul minister and witness to the Corinthians church that it can happen during their lifetime since they're not dead and asleep.

Therefore apparently after Christ the 'firstfruit', the dead in Christ are 'asleep', even the Apostles and church saints, until He returns.

Only at the 'first resurrection' (Revelation ch.20), included as well those who were 'beheaded' during the reign of anti-Christ.

Where at the trumpet sound is when the dead in Christ shall rise first and be changed to the immortal body.

Also next those in Christ who are still 'alive' at His return, shall also be changed, and together they shall be taken in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air.

1 Thessalonians 4:

16. For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of GOD: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17, Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Why would they be married but not have sex?

Matthew 1:24-25​

English Standard Version​

24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.​

He loved her and trusted the word of the Lord (Angel) v25.
A remarkable hero of the faith


18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by [the power of] the Holy Spirit.
19 And Joseph her [promised] husband, being a just and righteous man and not wanting to expose her publicly to shame, planned to send her away and divorce her quietly. 20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, descendant of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a Son, and you shall name Him Jesus (The Lord is salvation), for He will save His people from their sins.” 22 All this happened in order to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet [Isaiah]: 23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and give birth to a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel”—which, when translated, means, “God with us.” 24 Then Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and he took Mary [to his home] as his wife, 25 but he kept her a virgin until she had given birth to a Son [her firstborn child]; and he named Him Jesus (The Lord is salvation).

You must have used the 'Outer Linear' when claiming the world is flat like a big 'ol nincompoop

Don't be a nincompoop
If you had the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and believed GOD at His Word, you would know that only the surface of the earth is level with high mountains and low valleys along with cut outs for the streams and rivers and deep depressions for lakes and oceans.

You would also know that the earth does not move.
The sun, moon and stars move according to the courses God has ascribed for them.

Always believe GOD at His Word = Jeremiah 31:35-37


Thus says the Lord,
Who gives the sun for a light by day,
The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,
Who disturbs the sea,
And its waves roar
(The Lord of hosts is His name):
“If those ordinances depart
From before Me, says the Lord,
Then the seed of Israel shall also cease
From being a nation before Me forever.”
Thus says the Lord:

“If heaven above can be measured,
And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
I will also cast off all the seed of Israel
For all that they have done, says the Lord.

I think you're confusing the "Mary and Joseph had sex" thread with the "Flat Earth" thread.

Although perhaps I can see the relevance of having sex to feeling the earth move.
