    What is "OSAS"?

    I quoted John who was sent by Jesus, who was sent by God the Father. If you reject what is written and those who are sent, you reject Him who sent them.

    Why was "the Tree" placed in the center of the garden (orchard)

    Jesus is the tree of life ("the way, the truth, and the life"). The garden is the world. Jesus came into the world "in the middle" between the times of Israel and the times of the Gentiles. For which it is written: Daniel 9:27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in...

    What is "OSAS"?

    I answered you [already] by way of asking a question that would allow you to think your way through what you are missing and enable you to understand what the bible actually teaches. Answer the question. But no, I am not trying to "convince" anyone of anything. On the contrary, I was offering...

    We Are Now In A Global Drought

    Where did the water go? Did the seas rise? Have the polar icepacks increased? Have the great glaciers returned? No, but the cyclical nature of weather continues. https://psl.noaa.gov/news/2014/img/folsom-compare.png ...And go figure...it's full again in 2023!

    What is "OSAS"?

    No. I was clear and even repeated myself. If you want to move forward, you can go back and go over it again yourself. Just answer the question.

    What is "OSAS"?

    The holdup here is you. I asked you a question (first), and all you have done is ask your own question to avoid answering.

    I might regret asking but you know how we're the Bride of Christ...?

    Well, I have quoted plenty of verses. But no, I am not trying to do anything but explain what is actually true against 2,000 years of everyone and their brother trying to teach what they believed against the truth, just as it was foretold to occur...which is also true.

    What is "OSAS"?

    I "expect" that those who are of God would receive "every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."--not just part as you have. The "evasive" actions are all yours.

    I might regret asking but you know how we're the Bride of Christ...?

    True enough. However, the truth of all things has its origin in God, which is not the same freewill doctrine you are perhaps speaking of and reacting to. To the contrary, I was speaking of the reality that God has ordained that all pass through the valley of decision. This is the true component...

    What is "OSAS"?

    No. You answer my question "first."

    What is "OSAS"?

    First...have you understood anything I have said regarding the biblical reality that there is a man of sin born of the flesh and of women, and if born again, then also another born of God who does not sin, as said the apostle John? Again, I ask you, are you asking the old me or the new me?

    Indeed, they are supported, even if not received.

    I might regret asking but you know how we're the Bride of Christ...?

    Joe, That certainly is the most common believed doctrine, and yet it should be understood that the teachings were in part "false" and based on "a lie." Indeed, I am not saying anything that would make sense to anyone brought up through such teachings as have been since the spirit of anti-Christ...

    I might regret asking but you know how we're the Bride of Christ...?

    Joe, Indeed, there appears to be no freewill in Rom 9:17-20. But that is only because the passage is only chronicling what was in God "before the foundation of the world." In explanation, when it says "I raised thee up", God is saying, "Unbeknownst to you, I made you manifest just as you were...

    I might regret asking but you know how we're the Bride of Christ...?

    More or less. Mankind does indeed have freewill...but what exists in heaven and in God is not entirely separate and exclusively of this world, as even the world exists within God. Rather than considering heaven and earth separately-- (not to get into mankind being driven out of the presence of...

    What is "OSAS"?

    What...you think because I chronicled your rejection of the fact that scriptures says "Whoever has been born of God does not sin" that I have judged you? I have not judged you-- you have confessed. But, indeed, you have judged me.

    I might regret asking but you know how we're the Bride of Christ...?

    As this is a huge topic, the context of which would indeed include some comment on "freewill", if I may clarify: Freewill is a component of "silence in heaven for about half an hour", or as it is also stated "and half a time", as mere description in a setting where "yesterday, today, and...

    I might regret asking but you know how we're the Bride of Christ...?

    The answer to your question was eluded to by Paul, saying, "For me, to live is Christ." If Paul was able to say that he was/is Christ, it would surely mean that he had (past tense) "become one flesh" with Christ--which is the consummation of marriage...just as Eve was one with Adam before being...

    What is "OSAS"?

    It is you who accuse me of being judgmental for offering scripture for your reproof and correction, saying of me "Hypocrite!" while you quote one scripture against another (against God) and deny all of what is written. You--not me.
