The merchant found God.

A big fish feeds many, likewise a great pearl.

Speaking of breasts :innocent: These are all parables. Just as the bread of life is not actual bread, or even words on paper, all of creation is a revelation in parables. Breasts, like the two fishes, are a parable of the two folds gathered by Christ. The five loaves were but half of all...

The god of this world is dead, and the wealthy mourn.

Yes, there are nuances that may even be attributed to other sources. But over all such, is God, who created all the world: First the natural and afterward the spiritual, that we might pass from death to life everlasting.

Interesting. You are on the cusp...but there is a proper way of proceeding. It must be done with focus, focus on that One way which God has orchestrated. Care must be taken to avoid the present context of this world--you more or less said that--which, if we are not careful, can be the baseline...

Most are looking at it all wrong. Tribulation is the wrath of God. To take the position of "post" or "pre" tribulation is self-centered, rather than Christ-centered. Either position is a denial that all tribulation--all of God's wrath was placed upon Christ at the cross. As for "tribulation"...

Yes, many take away the key of knowledge, as if the word of God were only literary.

Those times of Israel, and of the past--those times of the natural attempting to do righteously, only proved us, the natural born of flesh and blood, to be incapable, thus fulfilling "By the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in His sight." Even so, the call--the call and...

Indeed. The parable/metaphor given in natural food, is not what is actually referred to, but the heavenly. Why then should we turn to the ground--the world where there are only crumbs--as so many do, rather than looking up?

Luke 21 is better...but commonly misunderstood...although it is not exclusively referring to the USA. “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart...

Great answer! People have a way of spoiling a good thing. I mean, there is only one continual ribbon of truth in all of recorded history of God interacting with people, as a witness to the greater truth of life...and most have turned it into a circus or cult-like club. I recommend seeking God...

Many have come to prefer the crumbs and the ground over meeting the Lord in the air.

Welcome Mica! The world is full of lost people all taking that first step (hopefully) in their own time. Perhaps your coming here is your first step. That's good, you're on the right track. Even so, this forum too, is also a place with many denominations, and opinions, and often claims, many...

Catholicism is a good example of what Peter referred to, saying "But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction"...

Among [people] the truth is subjective. Therefore, I would not recommend trying to be more truthful according to what you yourself believe. You might start by telling them that, confessing that. Then give them some basic info, such as, "One thing is for certain, your parents and I will both tell...

Quotable-- for the record. "You shall know them by their fruits."

Speaking of hypocracy...in the end, now that you have come full circle and I have given you every opportunity to see your error--you compared brothers in Christ being "as God" with the desires of "Lucifer." So shall it be written.

The "great tribulation" is not "the wrath to come." Since the beginning all suffer wrath and tribulation. To the contrary, all do not suffer the "great tribulation" commonly referred to. The "great tribulation" referred to, is rather [all] tribulation which Christ alone has and will suffer. Of...

Typical twist. I never said you lied. You were simply wrong. On the contrary, I called you out for the error of likening being "as God" with the wants of "Lucifer", when God's plan is indeed that we be as He is. No apology.
