Certainly, if Jesus did not go to the Father and then come (returned) to me, I would say nothing. What say you-- Has Jesus come in to you after first going to the Father?

Don't misunderstand. You and me, if we are "sinless in word, thought, and deed" are not the measure of salvation, not the measure of whether we are saved or not. Thank God! No, but it is Jesus. That's the point. That is why I elaborated about God being "the same yesterday, today, and forever."...

Time No Longer 10 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: 2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left...

I have already explained. You are looking at sin and flesh as the measure of salvation. It's not. Christ who is perfect is the measure. It is He in you who is sinless, if He is in you. You on the other hand, as all "who are alive (in the spirit) and remain (in the flesh), have yet to fulfill...

Yes, it's as if three different people all catch only part of a movie at different points or each read one different chapter in a book, and then each gives a report. Each one sees it differently, because what they are looking at or reading is indeed different because it's limited. Then each one...

You have made a much appreciated point...that is, that many have indeed learned by the scriptures, and should now be concerned more with relearning by the Spirit. This is that time, that time of the seventh angel's sounding. The scriptures then become the sounding board--not by previous...

Deu 34:5 So Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of the LORD H3068 died H4191 there in the land H776 of Moab, H4124 according to the word H6310 of the LORD. H3068 TOOLS Deu 34:6 And he buried H6912 him in a valley H1516 in the land H776 of Moab, H4124 over against H4136 Bethpeor: H1047 but no man H376...

It is important to understand that Paul preached on the cusp of the greatest change regarding the meaning of the scriptures that shall ever be. It is for this reason that he came to say, "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing...

Since @Johann is concerned for you and posting to @marks and I, please allow me to clarify--as we too are not without concern: We (people) are not the measure of the Spirit in which we may walk in partially or fully as it may seem, or even walking or not walking in Him. But rather, all things...

Yes, biblically correct. But to "what" end is the common understanding and therefore many error; since Christ has clarified it is not "what" but "who", saying "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End." I am not sure what you mean by "protract...in real time." I read all the...

:) The connection with the spirit of God is not just a warm and fuzzy feeling. It does indeed feel good, but if it is just the warmth of being close to the fire, not having actually walked in it, the Spirit is not in you or you in Him. Warming up to it is good--it is, but it is not the saving...

That is a very accurate statement of the crux of the problem and the misunderstanding of so many who see the sin and think the worst. It is however not correct. In fact it is "while we were yet sinners" that God saves us, causing us to be free from it. Such is the grace of God. Now there is...

Indeed, [actually] being born again of the spirit of God, is not a new hat, or even a new book to quote from. One does not walk in the spirit like one walks into a room an turns the light on--no, but those who do are rather like a deer in the headlights, who then turn to a defensive position for...

All good. The important thing to grasp while immersed in the world and still prone to thinking in terms of times, is that the testing that precedes salvation ends in the holy fire of the Holy Spirit (sent by Jesus) resulting in new birth.

Yes, false would-be testimony is a problem. But that does not mean that the general narrative of the word of God and the legitimate testimonies are not true. It's like this: If we were all born into a big room with no windows or doors and no one had ever been or seen outside, who in the room...

Do I agree? I understand the premise, and certainly there is a practicality about us being "equipped" for the service of God. But that is not to say, that "Christ in me" has not brought His mind with Him--because He most certainly has. So, no, I do not agree that "Christ in me" needs schooling...

Notice first that Paul is not saying he has not "apprehended" or "attained", but rather that he does not "count" it as such. That is different. Which we can see in Philippians 3:15 where he includes himself, saying "us" referring to the "perfect", which one of God would not say unless God were...

Thanks--it is good to be thorough. The defining point in Philippians 2:12 is "fear and trembling." Such is the stance of one approaching the throne of God. Which can also be the case for a time while even in His presence (so to speak), however not literally, for if it were literally, such a...

That is reasonable...but you show no evidence of having thought about it any further. That's the problem. You see, if "today" is the time of salvation (as it is written), then that would mean it is reasonable that one should "go and sin no more" "today." That is what is meant by reconciling...

Why do you turn it around? To eat of Christ and to sup with Him is sufficient. To taste, is not sufficient. It only leaves one hungry for more or not wanting more, or perhaps for some else.
