Both good and evil are the providence of God. The modern state of Israel or a modern religious Jewish leader claiming it however, is a different matter--that I would say is not true. Christ was "the Last" of the house of Israel, before going on to the "other fold" of the Gentiles of whom He is...

Sad :( how so many faced with hard sayings and the spiritual reality of God, just walk away. Nothing new: John 6:60-67 Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying; who can understand it?” 61 When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about...

If you can hear it, water is natural, but the words are spirit.

Indeed, yet the mustard seed has grown to be a tree having many branches--a body of many members, each unique in their works, some good, some not pleasing to the Lord.

The context of coming ("as in the days of Noah") is the opposite context of that of going. The word from Christ begins rather with an antithesis regarding the days of Noah as being like but opposite, as the one speaks of the Beginning, while the other speaks of the End. Opposite. This is the...

The reason time can appear to fly but also to stand still, is because it is an illusion, both scientifically and with God. The answer to it speeding up, is that desperation has increased...a pinch of desperation and it's a whole different pie. Peace like a river ambles along, but stress is a...

So is light a non-sequitur annoyance to darkness. Seems your agenda is more important to you. So be it.

As I said, it's time to stop. To not do spiritualizing is to not do God, for God is spirit. The flesh profits nothing.

God has placed life and death before us all. You have chosen, as have I. So be it.

Not as I see it, and neither did I indicate that the resurrection is past already. That is however, an age old misunderstanding that should now be taught correctly: The resurrection of Christ in which we who are His "were" (past tense) also crucified, indeed has passed. But as Paul explained...

I suppose this is a good place to stop--as it is written that God created man "in His own image." It is evident that you are in no position to comment on the truth. If you have questions, I am happy to discuss them...but entertaining folly, no.

Those are the word, but they do not mean what they say literarily, but spiritually. As for being "invisible", Paul didn't have to say it, Jesus did: John 3:8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who...

I can only tell you the truth. Whether you believe it or reject it, is up to you. But, no, water baptism was first done by John the Baptist, and was indeed a foreshadowing of Jesus' baptism with the Holy Spirit. We continue the tradition.

It is all "in Christ." But if you think it is all "in water", enjoy the swim--but it is not "who" saves you.

1 Peter 3:21 does not say that "baptism saves" unless you take it out of context. But rather says that it is like Noah and those, not literally saved in salvation, but saved from the flood as a foreshadowing image of what would only come by the Holy Spirit through the baptism of Jesus.

It is God who knows all things who reveals all in His own good time according to His plans for humanity, "but each one in his own order." "Then comes the end." However, before the end of times, we have been promised the revealing of "all truth" as being "lead" by the Holy Spirit. In other...

No, but time is "created" while God is not...therefore there is no time with God, and only time in the created world. Which is not forever or always remaining, but is "passing away." "Then comes the end." Meanwhile, those terms and sayings that would perhaps suggest that time remains, are as I...

I was referring to the fact that it is no longer we "who live, but Christ who lives in me." "We decrease, but He increases."

The "likeness" (or "like manner") is a true statement--but not as it has mostly been believed. It is not true that we too take on immortal flesh as it would appear, but rather that it is "without observation" and that His return is as the "dove lighting and remaining" on His own body, which is...

That is certainly how it has been believed and taught by many, but without understanding. It would appear that those who believe this are taking the foreshadowing of what is spiritual as literal and in the flesh, just as many also substitute water baptism for baptism by the Holy Spirit. But no...
