    The past and future do not exist, the eternal now is all there is.

    Time is indeed an illusion, only it is not as you think or have stated it. The "now" belief is merely unfounded philosophy, that is ironically conjecture, that by exercise of expression and definition proves it wrong. Even you yourself were [before] a babe, but are now [present] of age, and...

    Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 1 John 3:2 That time of not knowing was 2,000 years ago, and yet it was promised by Christ that we would be lead...

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    This I should explain, as you do not seem to understand the meaning of the word "Christ" according to scripture. Christ himself defined it, saying "The spirit of the Lord is upon Me." The word means "anointed." Thus, it is as I said, we (including Christ) are created in the form of "image"...

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    Agreeing and disagreeing is for those who think they know. This has not been a debate of opinion, and I have not been comparing my opinion and what I think with what you may or may not agree with. Not at all.

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    Your lack of understanding of what is indeed confirmed in scripture, does not qualify anything except your own position as being "unproven" to you. But you are not getting it, not understanding what the scriptures mean according to "as He is", but rather as you are. It is pointless to go on...

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    Aaaauh... You just said "Christ was never in God", then quoted a verse indicating He is. Here's a couple more: Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. Matthew 1:23 “Behold, the virgin shall...

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    The scriptures use the term of predestination, but that is simply world-speak for how to explain things according to how we might experience it in this world. It is simply a half-step term to children that are not yet up to understanding that nothing is actually predetermined, because time is a...

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    "Everyone in Christ knows Christ and the word of God, and are doers thereof." because they are already born of God. To the contrary, my example of a child not fully knowing its mother while still in the womb, is not after being born, but before--that is what I was referring to when speaking of...

    THE TRUTH OF DANIEL'S SEVENTY WEEKS PROPHECY

    Joe, It should be understood by the servants of God, that these many generations and delusions of men and their times in the flesh, have not been for naught, but have been according to plan that the days be prolonged until the fulness of the gentiles has come. Now that the times are coming to a...

    THE TRUTH OF DANIEL'S SEVENTY WEEKS PROPHECY

    Indeed, it is all parables.

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    You are under the wrong impression. God is spirit. All who are born of his spirit are born of him who gave of himself. Ecclesiastes 12:7

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    God is Spirit...and you accuse me of error because I have explained what He has made manifest according to His own likeness. Your accusation is against that same Spirit. A child in the womb does not fully know its mother. Likewise those in Christ. No, no guarantee. Light shown into darkness...

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    "That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the spirit is spirit." We are first born of the flesh unto death, then if we are born (again) of the spirit we are born unto life.

    The words are not literary (natural foolishness) but spirit, and therefore must be spiritually discerned. Likewise, there is nothing worldly literal about "thousand." Spiritually, it means "all." And Christ's reign began 2,000 years ago.

    Always putting off "today." :(

    Time no longer.

    You are thousands of years off reality :( The sacrifice was taken away 2,000 years ago, and antiChrist was already at work. It is written.

    Re Spirit baptism

    Perhaps a simpler way of stating it would be: Water baptism is to be born into this world resulting in death, while baptism by the Holy Spirit is to be born out of this world resulting in life everlasting. Which Jesus eluded to when the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Him with her sons...

    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    You don't listen so well. I didn't say I didn't like critical thinking, I do like it. In fact, you would do well to fully apply it. But no, I did not speak out against critical thinking, but the fact that it is based in doubt, and in your own application, it is indeed against God. Just listen...

    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    Sure, but critically thinking is not just innocent honesty, but doubt...the opposite of belief, and therefore against God. Thanks for confessing your intentions.

    That is a good summary--thanks! However, let me point out that 3.5 days, or 42 months, or 1260 days, actually refers to the "half of time" in "a time, times, and half a time", which is the time of darkness according to the original creation regarding "the evening and the morning" and the...
