No--I leave you to Satan.

Another slanderous lie (as if I at all varied the scripture--which I did not). You are not kidding anyone. You reveal your true self at every turn.

You give false witness. I didn't say that. That's just your take. The error is on you.

That's not at all how scripture works. "But..." 1 Corinthians 2:14 "...the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Bla bla bla. Your emotions have got the best of you. I quoted the scripture.

"Special revelation stuff?" How is it that you do not know that all revelations from God are special, most of which are first revealed to individuals...of His choosing? You call the kettle black. As for Jesus, what you say above is to deny that He ever bore our shame. If your heart is to defend...

On the contrary, what is real is not of this world, but was before the foundation of the world. And no, His wounds do not remain forever, but according to the promise, are healed, for we are His body.

You are sighting a false technicality, while you have missed the elephant in the room: Which is that all the elements of this creation are destroyed with fervent heat and with fire. All that remains is that which is spirit, born of God--no natural elements. That blows your whole...

That's just another government welfare program. It doesn't work. It ends in a homeless class to plague the rest of society, who would rather be homeless than receive the freebees with strings attached. That is the problem--there would be strings attached and that would and has been the failure...

After declaring that one must be born again of the spirit of God, Jesus summarizes, saying: John 3:8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” In other words, "God breathed"...

Do we even now need an interpreter? Is it not clear in 1 Corinthians 11 that Paul wrote first by example and then plainly said that any such practice or tradition was according to the "image" of man (meaning men and woman) and bears the image of God, plainly adding that a woman's hair was that...

The flaw in such a scheme, is nothing that cost money, time, or labor, is free. In other words, what you have described is government sponsored and enforced robbery from those who work, in order to pay those who don't work. Not a good plan.

Ephesians 1:13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, Perhaps you meant Romans 4? Either way, are you saying you know the hearts of everyone who ever has and ever...

Luke wrote of Paul in Acts 19. Indeed, those were times on the cusp of newfound salvation in Christ Jesus, as I said. The point is not whether or not Paul only wrote to believers. But rather that what he taught and wrote--just as is true of most of the gospel, referred to both the saved and the...

When reading Paul's writings, it should be clear that he walked and taught on the cusp of salvation principles and truth. This is why he even came to say that the word of truth must be "rightly divided." So, yes, Paul often spoke as one not knowing in full, seeing only dimly and in weakness; and...

To further clarify, the falling away occurred in the beginning with Adam and Eve who then had children "fallen"--"according to their kind" just as it was and is in all creation. Which has continued, and will continue, as long as children are born of women. That indeed is what comes first. Then...

We are certainly seeing what would appear to be a "falling away" in people today. However, that's not really the messaged of 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4: Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or...

Since the old me is now dead, I can only truthfully answer what is true by God of the new me born [again] of the spirit of God: I no longer sin and am sinless (which I do not "believe" but know). Even so, it would not be right of me not to explain as did Paul, that since I am now among the "we...

Good question! Unfortunately, most Christians don't give the matter as much thought as you apparently have. Truth is, they too exist within their own version of blindness as those who without the knowledge of Jesus Christ, would say "there is no God." They, having heard, actually have no...

Certainly that depends on our definition of "common sense" or what context you mean. In one context or respect "common sense" would mean "your own understanding", in which case it would be completely suspect. However, I get your point and believe you do not mean that context, but rather as you...
