Oh, I am sorry, but that is more of what was falsely taught and believed than what is actually true. The good news however, is that in spite of the foretold delusion and lie that was to be believed until the times of the gentiles is fulfilled, we are also to be lead unto all truth. Take care...

You have added to the passage what is not there: Ecclesiastes 9:5 5 For the living know that they will die; But the dead know nothing, And they have no more reward, For the memory of them is forgotten. But no, the passage does not speak of "the dead in Christ" (only) who pass rather from death...

You have touched on many things, and I am not sure whether you believe in evolution or not by what you said. But it is clear that you have some question about it, so I will explain: It is clear enough that God has revealed the age of the earth and how things have come to be as they are, which...

That is not unlike the false doctrine of Purgatory, which essentially claims that time does not stop at death but continues in some holding place until the end of time comes for all. But that is not how things work. Time is of the world (created) and when one passes on, their time has ended...

This is a misunderstanding. Understandably. The situation rather is--as an "image" of God, Jesus being out of character (so to speak) with Himself as God, spoke of these matters as if He were both actor and producer. Do understand--these things are all rightly part of and the nature of what we...

Whether something is a triple negative or a triple positive, depends on whether one is folding or unfolding--which is the nature of revelations. Likewise (which I already said) just as "to say that no image is WHO the Being the image is of" is true, so is it also true that an "image" of One, is...

Welcome laneybug! Better to ask God...and if any of us are to be of service, we will be.

Continuing the above explanation, there are many references that can be made to Christ as the story of Jacob and Esau continues. But mainly, the distinction to be noted is that there are seed born unto Adam as a man of sin, and also to those who are born of the Substitute.

That's all handy in literature, but you have missed the point--mine (and God's apparently). It doesn't matter if it is poor english, or good or bad english. The point is God created an image of Himself in creating man--which is an act of revelation...not revealing "what" but "who"--that is...

A lesson can certainly be drawn from the account as written, but more importantly it is not a lesson but a revelation. What is presented is two "nations" or people groups, one characterized like unto Adam (meaning red, or of flesh and blood) and another characterized as a substitute (the meaning...

You are stumbling over the words. It is a very simple statement by God. Paraphrasing the scripture, He created man (and the Son of Man) in His own image. There are three subjects in that statement regarding "who." And then there is one additional subject regarding "what." And even another if...

This is like saying there are four different gospels...as actually being different. But no, there is but one gospel, but four accounts.

You are leaning on your own understanding. Even in that understanding, if you yourself "created" an image of yourself--who is it? To the contrary, what you have presented and would seem to believe for you state it as if it were fact (when it is not), you have taken that very simple matter of...

You have answered your own error and don't even know it. Indeed, before Christ comes...it is future, for He has not yet come. But it is that which you do not understand....or simply do not believe. In other words, you either believe that starting "soon" after He said it would "shortly take...

You are not "keeping what Apostle Paul taught there in 1 Corinthians 15", but rather translating by your own understanding. Since you do not know what "the change", "the flesh cast off", "the day of the Lord", and the "last trump" actually refer to--I will tell you: All of those things indeed...

You don't understand. The passage has its beastly (referring to the flesh) context and application in this world, but is also a parable of heavenly things. If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

I would be happy to answer all these questions. But you have first to understand "rightly dividing the word of truth", which you have failed to do correctly, mixing the things of this world with the things of God and eternity. Let me know.

You are right about how you slice things not making it so, but it is you who has sliced in error--not just you, but most. It is you who is trying to understand the things of God whose kingdom is not of this world and interpret them as if time was at all relevant. It's not. And therefore Paul...

You are making a similar argument as Satan made in the garden...Because you have not reconciled the scriptures that say just the opposite, but only picked out the ones you like. Likewise, (by that same measure) God has and will choose only those He likes. Better check your oil.

It is an interesting fallacy that the scriptures are the end-all test, which many do and believe resulting in arguments of interpretations. But rather, as it is written "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out...
