I submit that the use of the words/terms "image" and "likeness" are not without purpose, and that God would have used other words/terms if things were what people perceive them to be.

If you yourself created an "image" of a man or a group of men--and then burnt half of the image...would you have actually harmed anyone? No. Neither has God in creating man in His own "image." On the contrary, the "image" is an opportunity for everyone in the image to go to safety or go into...

The reason I answer in the way that I do...is because the answers are above the basinet level. Or will you throw the "easy enough for a child to understand" defense back at me...in the face of obvious "but when I became a man, I put away childish things" and the "maturity" to "press on" called...

"ECT?" But your last statement seems to be contrary to what I have already explained. You may view the notion of some of God's creatures suffering eternal torment in a horror movie as horrendous--but it's just a movie--an "image." --No "creatures" have been harmed during the making of this "image."

The issue here...is not what appears, but rather by what we should come to learn is not just spiritual in part, but is [all] spiritual. Just ask yourself...is not all things in God, and therefore spirit? Another way to look at it is rather in the way it is clearly presented by "image" since the...

This is not the case, but is rather a complete misunderstanding of what is written. You say "creatures"...which is fine, but it is obvious that you hold a different definition of the term than that of God. You see, the term is first qualified first and foremost as mankind being rather an...

I will answer you with a question: If the Holy Spirit speaks through those whom God sends, is it God speaking or the person? And if so, is such a thing biblical, or not biblical?

The "like manner" mentioned in Acts 1:11 -- is it your idea that it means in the manner of the flesh, or of the Spirit? Obviously you believe it to mean in the manner of the flesh, but that is incorrect. He came according to the flesh, but was raised up according to the spirit of God, saying...

This is not the first time warnings have been given in the face of rejection.

The fruit that now is comes under "My strength is made perfect in weakness"...and the meek do not parade. Even so, these are just a part of what was to be and now is. The gambit also includes everything for "false preachers" and "strong delusion" to being "lead unto all truth" by the Holy...

That is a start--good! So then, since Jesus has "already" come in the flesh, that would mean that Christ standing at the door and knocking and coming in to those who open the door...is in fact His coming "again." Which is confirmed by the saying, "it is no longer I who live, but Christ who...

This entire matter is evidenced by God dividing the light from the darkness. In other words, evil is shown as darkness, and darkness synonymous with death--which is not saved, but "destroyed." 1 Corinthians 15:25-26 It is the word "divided" (the light from the darkness) that shows separation...

Wrong is wrong...no matter what you call it. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Well, that not only makes you a name caller but a liar and an accuser. Preterist is from the Latin word, "praeter", which is a prefix denoting that something is 'past' or 'beyond'. That is not at all what I have said. But in accusing me, you yourself by implication come dangerously close to...

Context is only key if it is. Yes, there is usually a worldly context, but that context is not always the only context. Not even. The Psalms of David for example, were written regarding the worldly context of David's own life--but...parts were also prophetic and not of that original context at...

Nonetheless, each of these were only small enactments, which only point to that which is greater. In other words, all the world is smaller than the greater kingdom of heaven and God. As such, look rather for a small enactment in the world fulfilling all that is written, but do not be deceived...

This is not the topic at hand, but to clarify... Gender is part of the "image" presented in the creation of mankind rather, to show that the Bride was originally taken out of the Groom (out of God) as Eve was taken out of Adam, that the two should again become as "one flesh"--which speaks...

That's nice, but it's not the actual definition of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. (What you have given is rather against other people.) On the contrary, Jesus said that we can in fact blasphemy against a "son of man", against people which is forgivable...but not against the Holy Spirit...

Name calling :( Wrong again. Matthew 10:39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

So...now you assume to know the reason that observing "days and months and seasons and years" was given to Israel? You preach but do not even know what is true. Again, you are not doing yourself any good. What is your argument--that the things of this world are "reality?" That is not at all...
