A different interpretation does not change the meaning of the possible offence of eating what was dedicated to idols. Indeed, "unclean" is a fine definition for what is not of God as in the case of idols. It is not that I disagree with your OP. But if I have heard the objections to your OP...

And still you do not see...that for me to have spoken to you in parables, is not what you have thought. You should have perceived it.

Yes, and likewise the Eucharist.

Is that distain or sincerity? Did you not know that this is what was to come according to the promise of Christ?

The words are not literary but are spirit and must be spiritually discerned. Just try to follow along.

Actually I was explaining the man-is god thesis which you apparently do not believe...which as I have explained, is because you indeed thought we were talking about something else and didn't see the bigger picture. But no worries, that is what we're here for.

What I was feeling when I started this tread, was the sorrow that comes from realizing our dilemma--that with such a great need to hear from our God, the track record of God's people is...to reject it, and to kill those whom He sends. Just imagine after thousands of years such disgrace that...

Indeed, we have every reason to be filled with joy! I guess I wasn't thinking that when I posted the tread--but it is indeed what I was wanting to say is missing, and why. I will make a new post here and elaborate. Thanks!

That is a dreadful commentary on what is written...when it actually tells us that the words are spirit and must be spiritually discerned, and that we are to hear what the spirit says--rather than plug our ears, as your clever comment would suggest. Go on then, "Keep on hearing, but do not...

It points to God's plan for salvation, that one should die for the sins of all. Which to qualify meant God sending out of Himself what is best described to children with the mind of children, as a Son of God which was a Son of Man. And from there most children loose track of what was conceived...

As per usual, you are way off. No, that is not what I was saying at all. I was referring to the fact that even now you reveal that you perceive that Jesus's conversation with Peter regarding who He was and the building of His church, was about Peter. It wasn't--it was about Jesus...and how He...

This I have just explained in another post: What you are referring to was and is a mere image, the story of the only begotten Son in story form, for the purpose of revelation to all of us who are a part. Which is not to say, nor should it be believed, that the Son was created--for it was and...

We can and will understand, for it is promised. And if you can receive it, that creation that you have referred to--it was manifest by image as a revelation of all things, as the story--in story form, of the only begotten Son of whom we are a part. Which is not to say, nor should it be...

Having no religious upbringing, after a wonderful, wholesome, loving, but hardworking childhood, marriage, children, and even my own business, things took a turn. My business was broken into three time causing financial stress, a bitter divorce, making it better for me not to see my kids...

None of that is correct. I recommend we take them one at a time (because your believe is 2,000 years off track), so I will start with the beast of Rev 13: The beast that rises up out of the sea, is the devil, Satan, who was given power over the whole world since the beginning--which cannot...

Maybe reason and truth has not been the best appeal. --I mean, "Who has believed our report?" Certainly not many. If you all will not consider what Jesus Himself said about coming "soon" and all "the things which must shortly take place", and all His personal words to those of that very...

Yes, time ends as a part of creation according to God's plan for salvation...Daniel's 70 weeks, the prophets, and Jesus, the apostles, and Paul definitely spoke of the end: 1 Corinthians 15:24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule...

It is. Thank you. However, biblically...there is a beginning and an end--meaning born again salvation experiences do not go on forever. "Then comes the end."

I would agree. I did tell Robert however, that there should be no fault in claiming that Jesus fully being a man (for a time) was also not God (for a time). That is the way it is written, and is also necessary for Him to be qualified to be the proper sacrifice. Which is why He mostly referred to...

Mog...is that you? (she does the Mic thing) So, we're back to the Trinity pet peeve then? Wrong topic-- I was addressing the JW idea that Jesus is not God. Which I did...and then you got off track with the Oneness thing--which was a quote, not a doctrinal claim of mine.
