That passage is to those who crucified Christ--not those who sup' with Him, not those who have been "cleansed"...as you can see in former verses: 23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 24 “Son of man, say to her: ‘You are a land that is not cleansed or rained on in the day of indignation.’

Yes, if one has only "tasted", they have not "eaten" of salvation.

So, you too (and many) draw out the "image" as God has also drawn it out in revelation, just as a story is drawn out in the writing of a book. And it is good--but only to a point. But I don't need to tell you that it is only an image drawn out that comes to an end, for it is also written that...

The fact that God has drawn o u t the "image", does not change the fact that one who "passes from death to life", does so "in the twinkling of an eye." It's a double entendre. Life in this world is but a breath and time an illusion, of which there is but one last breath.

That is the better question...indeed. "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin."

"No, yes, but..." Got it!

Indeed, His amazing grace is the greatest thing! There is however another level of "the renewing of your mind" also to be considered, and that is that we live our entire lives up until salvation and being born again of the spirit of God--thinking as men think, and thinking the way the world...

You are not reconciling all scripture, nor does Gnosticism. No partial or half-truth is all truth. There is no "process" in "today is the time of salvation." Nor is there in "old things have passed, all things have become new." Nor is there in "you have past from death to life." Nor is it...

Still, that is only one manner of speaking, that not all understand. I myself understand it, but simply addressed the matter rather to be in accord with Jesus (and those who are His) as being "without sin" which is also written. Both statements are true.

Heaven is not so much a geographical location or place as we might consider the earth (new or old) to be, but is rather the presence of God. As such, the "new" earth, unlike the old earth, is in the presence of God...wherein "all things are made new", including people. When we enter into His...

Yes. By definition, the Sabbath (rest) that all of scripture points to, is the rest of going to be with God. By definition, it is "the day of the Lord"--"that day" spoken of in many ways all throughout the scriptures. Thus, anyone who is still "working" things out has not fully changed from sin...

You're doing fine. It is not so much that Jesus "became sin", but rather that having no sin qualified Him to defeat it (by taking it upon Himself).

Should I therefore renew my language, or as it is written, you "the renewing of your mind?" I have explained, and I have also explained my explanation, and will continue to do so--to a point. The problem here is not clarity or plainness of speech, but of darkness and of seeing dimly. The light...

There is no practicality in dying, but rather in living. Thus, it is also written, "the flesh profits nothing."

You say like Adam but not, but individual. But I have said "all in Adam", just as it is written.

You are not following well. No, although brief, I gave the same indications as God did...which is that Adam was first in the garden in the presence of God, but "eastward", meaning toward evil...(just as the promised land was allotted "from the east side to the west")--then out of the garden...

No, I did not say "created", but "conceived", as it is written, "I will send my beloved son."

Illegible.

No "non-Christians" go to heaven. "Christian", meaning "Christ followers." Only those whom Christ has chosen (Israel) and those who choose Christ (of the other nations), follow Him (into heaven).

That is not what I said at all. I cautioned you not to misunderstand...but you did anyway. Thus, you have drawn the wrong conclusions, even regarding this whole matter.
