Which part did I lie about, that Eliezer of Damascus was the first servant in father Abraham’s house or that the Hebrew word for Lazarus is Eliezer? Or was it that the rich man was arrayed in fine linen? Did it bother you that I said that Jesus was rich toward God?

Maybe since Eliezer/ Lazarus of Damascus was the first servant in father Abraham’s house, the story is about Jesus’s spiritual state? I also note that Jesus was also arrayed in purple and fine linen - rich toward God.

According to my understanding the bosom of God would be a place of eternal rest. The bosom of Abraham according to Jewish understanding I would guess would be a place awaiting the rest of God.

It’s almost laughable, Lazarus was also in the bosom of Father Abraham. I guess by his theological stance Lazarus would also be God?

Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. — Luke 24:39

It could simply be stating the creation that begins in the first century. With the birth of Jesus, Gods firstborn Son.

God was also manifest in Paul’s flesh. I’ve often considered this, seeing God has no beginning nor end.

I’m just reading scripture.

Have a look at this also. It appears that even upon Jesus’ arrival in heaven that God is still revealing things to him? The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his...

So much for what Peter understood at this time. But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. — Mark 13:32

How so, it was the Spirit of God in Jesus were in He manifested Himself? If we are of that same Spirit should we not manifest the same that Christ did?

I probably would have stated the same.

Absolutely! Jesus is the image of the invisible God- just as a mature Christian should be today. I should be able to view the life of a Christian and see the Father.

The disciples didn’t follow Roman mythology.

The way I see it is in the Acts Jews were being added to the church clear up to the destruction of the temple. Maybe also consider that no one could receive Jesus until the gifting of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.

Maybe the misunderstanding is yours.. it’s my opinion that the nations in the first century that Jesus was sending them too was the nations of Israel.

Precisely, Gods creation began with Jesus in the first century, this is why Paul stated a new creature. They looked for new heavens and a new earth. Your looking for the literal I’m looking for those that are spiritual.

I’m rather fond of @Mr E s post, he has a very unique perspective. The thing I like most about his perspective is that he doesn’t vilify God.

I heard a song by an artist years ago that reminds me of the voice I hear in your posts. This artist to my understanding was heavily indoctrinated in Mormonism in his adolescence. Have a listen?

The sons of God were not manifest until the gifting of the spirit of God. This began with Jesus, and continued post Pentecost. The epistles state they were the children of God/ born of God. Genesis is an allegorical story given of God to Moses it is referring to the Christ. I understand that...
