Great--not only do you need to told what it is, you need to be told how it is...and still you do not believe even though most of humanity will attest to it. As for your dragon--he's real too.

I already explained the "evidence" issue. The deficit is yours. In order to receive the overwhelming amount of evidence of God, you need to be born of Him. If you are not, you are blind to the evidence--because it is on a higher plane than the one you exist on. But let me ask you... Is this...

@stunnedbygrace @marks From God's perspective there is but one resurrection, and only from the world's perspective are there two. All are raised up with Christ, who rose only once. Yet it is explained that the dead (those before salvation came) proceed those who are actually born [again] of...

There are two points that should be clarified: 1) You say "his presence" and "not his coming", which is the same as saying "Yes, but No." That is the error of many who do not acknowledge His presence as His coming--which He said would occur in this way: "I will come in to him and dine with him...

Certainly there are a thousand ways to rationalize the issue of those Paul referred to as "we who are alive and remain"--that is, alive by the newborn spirit of God in us, but remaining in the flesh and in the world. And, as it is written, "For with the same measure that you use, it will be...

Marty, Two points: 1) The "beheading" that Revelation 20:4 refers to is the result of Christ (the Head) being "cut off", physically foreshadowed by John the Baptist. Which is a reference to Daniel's 70 week prophecy, and the error of many who misunderstand that Daniel did not prophecy only...

That is correct, which is confirmation of the timing of just how Jesus comes again; not to be seen of the world again, but to be seen of those who believe whether in death or in life. But Paul did not only speak of the born again, but also of those with Christ who died in their sin who do not...

Imagine then that Paul counselled the renewing of our mind--because our thinking is otherwise upside down and backwards, and wrong. If I then speak and represent that new and right way of thinking among those who have held to reality being of the terms of this world and not rather of the...

I thought first to say "Get over it", but settled on "Grow up" not wanting to seem uncaring, but to speak rather in terms a family member would use. But do remember that my rebuke was not to you, but to another who was knowingly or unknowingly leading you astray with seemingly kind words. I was...

Romans 8:9-10 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

All of these things will come into proper focus when and if you come to realize that Jesus came (1) to the thief on the cross and again (2) in paradise, and also comes to everyone who hears Him knocking on the door and opens it (2), "but each one in his own order."

You have only to hope in God to be guided by Him. Seek Him, knock and keep on knocking and He will answer. But be patient, He has allotted you your whole life for the purpose of your being saved from the death that otherwise awaits us all. Keep reading. When I began to read the Bible, I read it...

Go where you are sent; dust off your sandals; turn over some tables; preach the word; drink some wine...and endure to the end. PS,...and love one another!

I'm not sure why you included verses 7-9. Verses 1-6 are a shadow of those sent and the building of the Church during the church age, while verses 7-9 are a segue leading to who it is that people said Jesus was, and who He actually is.

Harold, Even if you can quote half the Bible/scriptures to support what you believe, you can't quote them all...because there are just as many that show you wrong. Which is to say: Things don't work that way. You don't get to pick out what you like and disregard what you don't. And let me...

Yes, and it should be understood that being "wrong" or even only "half wrong", is where we all begin. Life then is a series of opportunities to see all things as choices of what is good and what is bad, or good verses evil, and of deciding which to lean into in going forward. All of which are...

That's great--there's fire on the tracks! We have the testimony of one who tells us that to have all things revealed, it will make "your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth." I say this because God "working all things together for good for those who love him" is not...

Thinking about what I might say to a child about the meaning of life, it occurred to me to say, "Life in this world is like growing up--you get to choose what you would like to be. You see, life is full of opportunities to choose between what is good and bad, what is good and what is evil. All...

That is correct--"that's not how righteousness works." As for those who would seem not to know God...there are none. All who are born know of His works whether natural, spiritual, or by word or visitation. It is written in all ways that all have no excuse. Even myself who knocked on every other...

Why then do you claim to be a Christian in your profile?
