    The Great Apostasy in the Church.

    No...and to even begin to understand you will need to stop using your worldly logic (your own understanding) to rationalize what is written. A renewing of your mind is called for...as it is written. When Jesus was resurrected--in the twinkling of an eye the dead and the living in Christ...

    The Great Apostasy in the Church.

    You can't quote one scripture against another. To do so, is to call God who inspired them both, a liar--it is unforgivable. It just shows that you have not reconciled all scripture and that your interpretation is false.

    What is freewill?

    The one I quoted, about which you did not understand what I said (post #59).

    The Great Apostasy in the Church.

    That's not biblical. God has always had the ability to be anything including "flesh"--it's nothing new. He created all things that are made of matter out of nothing simply by speaking them into existence, manifested angels as men, and rose the dead even before Jesus' resurrection. What you...

    Where did Jesus go when he died?

    There is more to Jesus' death and resurrection than meets the eye (or than has formerly been understood). The key of which was eluded to when Jesus said, "Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day"...which is the finish of "take, eat...

    The Great Apostasy in the Church.

    Why do you consider these to be two and different, since Jesus has gone to the Father and is One with Him who in His glory is spirit?

    The Abomination of Desolation

    So, all according to Nebuchadnezzar and this world, all according to this world and not pointing to what and He who is greater--that's your conclusion? Amazing! Sad :( Isaiah 6:9 And He said, “Go, and tell this people: ‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand; Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’

    What is freewill?

    Then you would do well to study the passage and before and after, and pray.

    Anyone getting the new Covid booster?

    "No weapon formed against you shall prosper..." but that's not the armory I recommend. Too political.

    What is freewill?

    And you have it: "A wicked and adulterous generation."

    The Kingdom of God vs. The Kingdom of Heaven

    The only difference is not a difference between the two, but is only different by what is being addressed in each passage. The kingdom of God is a general term, while the kingdom of heaven is a more specific term refer rather to just one part of the whole.

    What is freewill?

    I have given you the truth from God, a clarification of the misconceptions of men throughout the ages which you have quoted. Corrections are just a part of what was to come. The reactions within that same time-based misunderstanding are also predictable. Go figure. You don't have to believe any...

    What did Christ mean saying, God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

    He meant that just what God told Adam and Eve in the beginning is true, saying, "And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely...

    What is freewill?

    I am not trying to debate or even discuss this matter, but simply set straight what is said regarding the truth from God...which is needed with each post that you have addressed to me. In this post you error in saying "There is no indication of how God's knows the end from the beginning, only...

    What is freewill?

    No, not making it up. There is a difference in us existing in God and being made manifest in the world (our mother's womb).

    What is freewill?

    FOREKNOWLEDGE noun awareness of something before it happens or exists You're missing the point. "Fore" means before, but it doesn't mean that God exists within any before-and-after context where the things of God and the things of this world exist on the same timeline. Unlike this world God...

    What is freewill?

    Haha! So goes the discussion...but in God's reality--the only reality, Time is simply the [created] means by which God incrementally reveals His preconceived will from start to finish, "but each one in his own order." "Then come the end" (of time). "It is finished." "Seven days and then He...

    What is freewill?

    You are not hearing even yourself. If God knew us (past tense), it is because we were (past tense) available for Him to know us then (past tense). It's all past tense--except our knowing and it being revealed to us. If you don't yet know it...perhaps a little longer.

    What is freewill?

    That is not how it works. Here is how it actually works: Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” Psalm 139:15-16 When my bones were being formed, carefully put together in my mother's womb, when...

    What is freewill?

    UNDERSTANDING FREEWILL: Regarding the issue of "freewill", the confusion is due to our not clearly understanding the context difference between time and eternity, leaving most to believe that freewill is relative to our living in time. It's not, but is instead relative to eternity. Why is that...
