Not sure what you are saying here exactly - I think the gist is that you had an alternate experience, met or felt you were in the undisputable presence of GOD (I am unsure of what you are trying to communicate re your writing "in the fulfillment of my part of what is written" but it seems to be something which enlightened you to a purpose you were previously unaware of and when you returned to this reality experience began and have continued to carry that out.
What I am saying is, we can have a discussion here regarding these matters, but I am under authority and the terms are not debatable.
I said wrote a similar thing earlier today in
this post.
It could be said that what you wrote is similar, but you are using your own (or someone else's) words and terms to define and frame things. Which is not advisable. God, being all-knowledgeable) has given the correct words and frame of His choosing. Thus, you referring to things by different words, etc. is like speaking tongues--which then is limited, not revealed. To the contrary, the biblical model leads to open and plain understanding by one standard, which again, God has already chosen. So, any attempt to re-word or re-frame these matters, is not for, but against, and man made rather than God made, as if the pot were the source rather than the Potter.
Yes, I agree with your interpretation. We are born into a blank slate state. We have no prior knowledge of ever having existed. That is the "dark" - which I equate not with "evil" but with "ignorance" and light not as "good" but as "knowledge" - and wilful ignorance as evil, and wilful knowledge (seeking) as good.
Please understand--I am not interpreting as most view and exercise interpretation. This is not me telling how I see things, but me acting in the biblical model of the Spirit of God interpreting heavenly things to be understood by those entering into His presence, which is greatly foreign compared with worldly terms. Much of worldly terms have been learned from parables by words or worldly acts wherein the object is not actually the subject. Thus the need for His spiritual translation or interpretation. Which is all a part of His great design to reveal all things "on earth as it is in heaven" "precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little there a little." "Then comes the end"--the end of this natural world--this "captivity" and "bondage" as it were.
Here we differ, but not irrevocably so. It is not that one is "dead" while living - the power which animate life forms is very much alive - rather the death part is understood by me as I wrote in the post I linked above in this post.
Actually (as I said, and as the scriptures say) all are dead already, the children of sin and thus death. But you are perhaps speaking of the would-be life that we seemingly have during these times, or perhaps because the source of your being is alive, and therefore we are also. But the word of God is true--was true--that "
in the day you eat of it, you shall surely die"--which is the death that we are now all children of. Which, Christ, not explaining the illusion of time, but for our temporary understanding, gave the example as if we were in a state of slumber. For which it is also written that we are to "
awaken" as to "
the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day." Which I am now able to explain more fully, as the dividing of God's eternity--the creation of the "
shadow of turning" (evil) by the creation of matter and form--into our individual days and times "
but each one in his own order" throughout the full history of the world.
But it is an illusion, one that actually occurred '
before the foundation of the world", stated in worldly terms of translation, as "
silence in heaven for about a half an hour", also stated as, "
a time, times, and half a time", spiritually meaning, as I said, the dividing of eternity into increments of would-be time, dividing "the light from the darkness", during which the Lord God spoke not in heaven ("
silence in heaven") but in the world, by Word, signs, and wonders--but in heaven, as if "
in the twinkling of an eye", a parable.
Here, I also disagree due to the contradiction which you may see re that linked post. You may however, be meaning something else with that statement and if so you can clarify what that is.
Again, Adam was "
created", but all born of Eve were and are the children of death ("
that very day"), and thus must be "born again" of the spirit of God.
Well one rock that does "cry out" is the Planet Earth Herself. A tiny speck of dust relative to the rest of the Galaxy - but from out perspective within Her, quite the spectacle of abundance animated life crying out in many voices.
Perhaps it is as I thought then, that you are referring to what was created as being something more, something lasting. It's not, but "
is passing away." To the contrary, all this world and universe were made manifest for the sole purpose of revealing a heavenly reality that occurred "
before the world began." This is the reading of the last will and testament before the Judgement, which also occurred before the world began (as it is even in worldly trials).
Yes - as to the CCA - we can get into that in more detail since that is the thread subject. My question to you about that is, do you agree that your alternate experience was physical in that you experience things physically - perhaps not in exactly the same way as with this universe, but in relation to sensory perception - the "caught up in the spirit in the presence of God" was felt as a physically real thing - perhaps even "more real" than this physical reality (Earth) but nonetheless physical?
Again, what I am doing here is not a matter of what can or cannot be agreed upon for consensus.
But no, my experience with God was not physical--heaven forbid! If physical, then worldly, which it was not, but heavenly and thus spiritually. As for sensory perception, indeed, but more than the five we experience otherwise. Which is to say, it was more real by any measure than what we know of the worldly senses and experience. Yes, more real...but no, not physical--with no such limitations or imperfection.
But don't misunderstand--what we have become accustom to and those parts we love about our physical experience here in this world in the flesh--is not greater--but by far the lesser. Our attachment to what we now know, we are counseled to "
lay down", that we might take up that which is greater.
