You don't know everything, and it shows. I have assumed nothing. Nonetheless, it is your choice to get off at whatever stop you like.

Joe, Thank you. I asked not for myself, but rather that others might bring together the things of God into summary and recount, for these are the times of summary. You have stated things quite well, with only a few exceptions: Christ will indeed save all of mankind, according to the first...

Your answer only indicates that you have assumed what is true, rather than actually know what is true. What is missing in your idea of "that's the experience we all share", is that some have and do experience more. I am one, therefore I do not say it is "intuitive" or that I assume what would...

You are not getting or not ready to comprehend the timelessness of God (before time was created). Therefore, you keep using time as the measure of all things. But all things are not according to the creation, but to the Creator. As long as you look at things as being of the world, you are of the...

That is not what I meant, but rather that it is a small example pointing to the greater reality of what Christ also referred to, saying "before Abraham was I am." Both Isaiah's words and Christ's were, as it is written, "here a little, there a little", but I have put them together.

The point is like that of being in the womb. And what does one in the womb know but his mother's touch and voice? That is all that intended, even in the world, and the point the point is not being born into the world, but out of the world.

It's not out of context, but is a foreshadowing of--as it says, "that which shall surely be." But you are looking at the shadow, and I am looking at "that which shall surely be." In the proper context then (of that which shall surely be), I have spoken correctly. You even quoted it yourself...

These things you and most of Christendom has not fully understood. You are the Pharisees of the present day, blind to what has come upon you. To them Jesus was "out in left field." You should have learned from their mistakes, but have not, so repeat them.

I am not going to reread what you have not considered and do not reconcile, that is for you to do.

I have not imagined it, but I too repeat it.

Indeed there is a true church, however "all have fallen short." But your line regarding the orthodox church seems to indicate that you believe that some have not. Which does not mean that the 7000 bow to Baal...which is perhaps a discussion for another time--and huge one. In brief, the 7000...

I see. But no, that is not what I was saying. I did not say that anything was revealed before the foundation of the world--it was not, but only in the fulness of time. What I was saying (quoting other scriptures also) was that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever", thus...

1 John 1:1-3 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3 and every spirit that...

More unreconciled half-truth mockery. You'll get yours. :( As it is written: Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

That is not what I said, and not what the scriptures say. But you deny what the scriptures do say regarding what was already at work 2,000 years ago. As for who God has "abandoned", you misunderstand. You say "abandon", but what did God allow to happen to Joseph, and even to Christ? He...

Oh...and scoffers were also foretold.

Ferris, No one says or believes that ("a 'born again' person can purposely sin"). Why then do you make such a big deal of it? To the contrary, what is said, is that "It is no longer I who lives, but Christ who lives in me", that "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in...

Not that Daniel's prophecy of seventy weeks is any small matter, and I know you have summarized, but are you able to summarize further...perhaps with bullet points? I could read it all and perhaps address with a thousand points of discussion until the sun goes down, but I should think it...

Your reference to "What recognized defender of the true faith in historic orthodox post-apostolic Christianity" is a moot point, as that is the time period of which "false teachers" and believing a "lie" causing "strong delusion" was foretold. Yet, during these same times it was also promised...

I am not sure just what you are referring to, having made no clear and simple point. But what is "refreshing" if it is not first made fresh beforehand? Such is the word to Benjamin, saying, “Blow the ram’s horn in Gibeah, The trumpet in Ramah! Cry aloud at Beth Aven, ‘Look behind you, O...
