    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    Only with the final Authority. I've spoken no lie and issued no offense by intent, I have only sought to correct your assertion which detracts from the truth of my God. Your fruits are not of the Vine which is why you do not recognize Truth. I am commanded to express Him as best I can, and if...

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    I seek to bring peace. I seek to intercede and rectify. To what do you object but my efforts to assist in reconciling you both on the grounds that we all seek the same Foundation? Why do you reject my words? @GodsGrace , Quote my insult to you, please, as your words do not make sense.

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    But the understanding of His Gospel brings unity in love to His singular earthly body.

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    How can I address what you dismiss upon my attempt to do so? Highlight my insult that I may apologize for it properly, as I meant no harm. If I inflicted some, it is my shame, as it is my intent to represent the God of truth, Whom I love because He loves me.

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    1. Aside from disagreement, how have I insulted you? 2. You have not responded from the Spirit, you have responded from hurt and anger and confusion. You are looking for what is familiar, your names and numbers for references devoid of the complete messages from which you extract them. When I...

    Virtue: Ambition

    Oh how I love a discussion which begins with definitions, and I especially appreciate those you brought in for value and virtue! And my heart goes out to you for such a challenging situation with your grandchild. I feel your pain because my ex has our son most of the time. But all pain in my...

    What do you reverence? - misplaced worship?

    The highest reverence is worship, with the proper worship of God being our consistent practice of recognizing the supremacy of His worth. Respect is what reflected toward others as a result of proper reverence for the Creator. Reverence ranges a deep admiration to an adoring worship. Respect...

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    @Adventageous and @Hiddenthings, What good is a Dodge Viper SRT10 on a go-kart track? Spinning those theological wheels just to scatter mud. Neither of you could convince each other of anything because you are altogether off course. You argue points with similar words that have different...

    What do you reverence? - misplaced worship?

    I love this, reverence is a favorite practice of mine. Reverence is a spectrum, as all ideas are, meaning that we can effectively reverence all things to some degree, so long as what is revered is in proper alignment with the purpose thereof. It is inappropriate to reverence anything rooted in...

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    Psalm 119 speaks to this conversation well. Does an answer to this question exist? Surely. Is it one we may have? Apparently not in fullness at this time. As verse 6 of this Psalm explains: Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. It would behoove us to...

    WHAT IS THE MYSTERY?

    What is it to beget? And what among all that exists does not exist? You think a god stands in opposition to the Almighty which displays a lack of reverence for His Majesty. Nothing opposes God but delusion. Nothing exists outside of God and all that He has created within Himself. Does anyone...

    Thoughts....ideas....discoveries

    Marvelous discoveries would never cease were not an adversary seeking to stymy the Saints. But disobedience resists with all the power and authority of delusion, as God is truly omnipotent. But in proper alignment, all things point directly back to our righteous Creator in the most glorious...

    Thoughts....ideas....discoveries

    Wow. I really appreciate the writing of your initial post. I marvel at the intricacies of microscopic organic machinery, the vast views of deep space, and the broad and global knowledge we have available today to demonstrate the magnificence of God. I love to see accumulated evidence from...

    What is 'called into marvelous light'?

    It's fairly simple; the marvelous light is the countenance of God. If He smiles upon us, it is evident in our consistent euphoria, in that we can't help but reflect the radiance of the magnificence we gaze upon at every opportunity.

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    The last NT book was written 100 years before the idea of the trinity began taking shape with Origen. The blasphemous mystery math leavened the bread more heavily another 150 years after that with the codification of doctrine in the form of the Nicene Creed. You don't even know what the holy...

    THE WISE SERVANT

    May I ask why you quote the King James version? It is antiquated and drew from only a fraction of the sources available today. It is challenging enough to get someone to consider plain words, let alone an archaic and unfamiliar dialect. I personally prefer the clarity of the American translation...

    WHAT IS THE MYSTERY?

    Panta di autou egeneta, kai choris autou egeneta oude hen ha gegonen. Those are John's word choices in Koine Greek written in English which effectively translate to, "All things through Him (God/the Word) were created, and without Him not one thing that was created was created." There is no...

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    The implications of confusing my son with me are less significant than (but not altogether unlike) what you do here. Jesus is the Son of God.

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    Paul preached a unifying faith. He preached truth from a foundation of knowing nothing as certain but Christ crucified. The Gospel and it's fulfilment of the law and prophets was the fundamental component of Paul's logic in arguing the reasons which support God's divine truth. All I see argued...

    WHAT IS THE MYSTERY?

    Truth cannot be spoon fed to one still in need of spiritual milk, such a one would vomit it up. If you are not able to differentiate between spiritual milk and the spiritual meat to which Paul referred, the only way to obtain it is to read the Bible in sincerity of seeking the truth. Certainty...
