wow nice, i never. But i will now!
i wish the Two Witnesses would be reflected upon in this light...i mean when does The Rev occur, if not when you watch the movie, right
Yes, but I walking now in His light, walk with Him in the world in that body that was condemned, which has no more hold on me than it does on Him...but rather, we have a hold on it in spite of its shortcomings that continue unto death.
No, it is called a moment (of decision) by God, but it is not in time, but before the foundation of the world. Then comes the playback.ha well funny i agree with what you are saying there 100%, yet i am interpreting your sentence there in a completely diff way. You are referring to a single, past moment, right--you, who is simultaneously arguing the concept of time on another...oh, right here iguess, hmm the irony--and i...am not.
um...was Paul walking in the Light when he went to Jeru to take the Vow?
i dislike this characterization because it suggests that every action is predestined, and that you have no part in changing your mind, no free will?
If you mean Jesus or Yahshua by the phrase "Christ was "perfected", then I'd have to say you have a foreign understanding of scripture. Jesus was, is, and always will be perfect. He wasn't imperfect in eternity before He was born to a body of flesh, nor was He imperfect in the form of a servant, being without sin, and He certainly didn't become less than perfect in His resurrection. Since there is no time when He was imperfect there is no time for Him to be perfected. Sometimes in scripture the word perfect is used where the word complete would be more appropriate. While living in a fleshly body, Jesus could've been called incomplete as He was dispossessed of His glory and sought its restoration (as in His request to the Father in His "priestly prayer" in John's gospel.) I've heard this kind of doctrine from a cult member hawking books in the PA bus terminal years ago. What are you selling?
"Complete" is good. But I am selling nothing.
Actually that was written by the Apostle Paul, not spoken by Jesus, but I can understand your confusion.
Belize for a week of diving.
Thanks!
Confusion, not mine:

Jesus didn't write 2 Corinthians, that epistle was written by the Apostle Paul. He appears to be quoting the risen Lord, but this is in reference to the weakness of His disciples. He speaks in first person with regard to His body because He has taken on our infirmities and weaknesses, but there is nothing but power in our Lord and in His name. He has always been perfect. It is His followers that need His perfection to be complete, resting in Him rather than standing in their own strength, hence having their power perfected in Him. Its quite simple as a principle and entirely true. Good try though.
You are waffling. It was not me who declared "My" "perfect[ion]" was not "complete", but Christ.
