    Exposition: Why "Absent From The Body/Present With The Lord" Doesn't Support Immortal Soul Doctrine

    Thanks for the explanation, I now understand your point. However, there are factors that would change what is actually true. We know that Jesus told the thief on the cross not that he would see Him after "lying naked in the grave" for a time, but rather "today." Which ought to be enough said to...

    Isaiah 43:10

    I did not say that I don't see, but was rather showing you what you perhaps have not accounted for. Even now, you make claims against the word of God, saying "Father took all that was good and righteous in the waters and formed Jesus..." While the scriptures say, "who, being in the form of God...

    Indwelled by The Holy Spirit

    "Through faith" would imply that the answer is: God knows. While "Through evidence" would imply that the answer is: People know (by ones actions). This is the result of belief or unbelief--that is, since the scriptures say that being saved, "old things have passed away; behold, all things have...

    Exposition: Why "Absent From The Body/Present With The Lord" Doesn't Support Immortal Soul Doctrine

    Are you meaning to say that the scriptures or God is wrong in what is written, and you are right?

    Isaiah 43:10

    Again, that is just a misunderstanding of terms or language presentation verses truth. The [Holy] Spirit has been written of since the beginning. And Jesus too was not "formed" except in lowly flesh, which was rather His "appearing", but was "before the foundation of the world." All of which is...

    Isaiah 43:10

    Rather than the Holy Spirit or Jesus being born, what you are actually seeing is that in the fulness of time they were rather revealed. Thereby confirming the statement, "before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me." As it is written, "God is the same yesterday, today...

    What we are? discussion

    Perhaps you have read or heard this in Revelation, that "...there was silence in heaven for about half an hour." It is at that point that "what we are" came/comes into being. We know that with God there is no time, for He "is the same yesterday, today, and forever" and that time was "created"...

    the evidence Of what you believe?

    Your counselor has given you good advice for personal well being. But they should not have used the "religion" example, as God has intended that we lean toward what we "believe" to be true, that we might arrive at the proper place of being with or without God--that is good or evil, thus ridding...

    I don't understand Romans 9 anymore

    Paul went on to conclude his point, giving the reason for what God has done: Romans 11:11 I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    It says "disciples"--you said "apostles." You were wrong. But you are also not being reasonable. If you want to claim Jesus was only speaking to His apostles--that too confirms my position, for the word simply means a "messenger" or "one sent." Therefore, I have told you that I have not been...

    Question: Why not believe in Christ's millennial reign on earth?

    Believe it or not, Jesus is personally here now reigning. Which is to say, the issue is rather one of not believing in Him having [already] come in the perfect spiritual glory of the Father. Which most deny while saying, "Yeah, sure, I got Jesus!" Meaning--just as Jesus said--because they deny...

    Have our morals changed within the span of a single generation

    No. The Chopper example is answered in who signs the checks--it's not a moral issue at all, but an entitlement issue. As for racial issues, this generation brought back much of what the former generations had overcome. My father was a cop called in to the '60's riots. My generation invited...

    Differences of Opinion vs. A House Divided

    That's quite a riddle...not sure just what you are saying. I do however know what is opinion and what is not, and just as it was not Jesus' opinion to turn over some tables or rebuke Satan in Peter, what I was referring to was rather rebuke, not opinion.

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    The scriptures do not say "Jesus was speaking only to his apostles", but rather to His disciples. As for your comment regarding "liking a false statement", it would appear to be someone else who did that rather than myself. As for being "an anointed Christian", if having been caught up in the...

    Biblical-Type Floods Are Real, and They're Absolutely Enormous

    Wow--you are soooo off! If you believe evil has lessoned and is diminishing...that's just wrong. In fact as world populations have increased, so has evil. Do the math. And if you are going to call yourself a Christian--read the Bible. It is rather that "There is nothing new under the sun." As...

    Was God.....

    There is no "would" in "I am." Such an assumption is in error. That is all misunderstanding. That is nothing more than the thinking of men who believe what they do based on their own understanding. Nor has anyone who believes what you have stated, believed what is written, for all of this is...

    Biblical-Type Floods Are Real, and They're Absolutely Enormous

    What is right and wrong biblically is also revealed...not by "attack", but just as you have revealed yourself.

    God does not have a timeline.

    Indeed, and what is even worse, is that many of the so-called prophecies of the "future" are written in [past] tense, indicating they are not at all future. It is as if there is a type of people who only believe what they themselves have and will witness--otherwise it's not true, as they will...

    Whatever:

    Understandable. Apparently you have not discovered the reason things are the way they are. It helps if you do.
