    Free Will is the Veil

    You do not bear His Certainty. If what you would discuss would risk your ostracization, then there must be no truth in it, as this place welcomes His truth, which is why I am here. If you cannot teach me in the open, I would not have you teach me in secret. And if I cannot teach you at all, then...

    Free Will is the Veil

    I am in no bondage but the welcome embrace of the Lord. I bear no offense but His truth and I see no offense therein from which I would shy away from expressing. I declare His principles boldly, fearlessly, without concern for repercussions because He is with me. Your manner of implication is...

    Free Will is the Veil

    If what you would say is prohibited by the rules of good conduct, then perhaps it is not necessary to be said.

    Free Will is the Veil

    Brother, be clear! You describe His torment for what purpose? What do you wish to say of me and why do you fail to say it clearly? What is your contention that we may discuss it and cease this fruitless dance? I practice clarity with words for the express purpose of conveying truth in a...

    Free Will is the Veil

    Correct me please, brother. You do not make sense to me. If you have greater light, I would seek it, but at present I see no foothold in your direction.

    Free Will is the Veil

    You lose me in your implications. State clearly your accusation, please.

    Free Will is the Veil

    @Hiddenthings Thank you for your concern. Someday we will share the same light when the Father shines upon us all. In due time we will all receive our complete evaluations from His perfect perspective. He will observe our use of the talents He gave us. He will determine who has and who lacks...

    Free Will is the Veil

    Your input is wonderful! My will was broken. As I had mentioned, I was prepared to destroy everything I could with myself included for lack of Him. He has broken my neck and my back. He has broken my soul and my body. And when my spirit was shattered fully, that was when the lies sloughed off...

    Free Will is the Veil

    Brother we all see only what the Lord reveals and nothing more. The nature of Christ always was, is, and will be perfection. His perfection was unsullied by His presence in the muck. Allow me to give an example. I used to be a bit of a "germophobe" and ardently 'clean' as much as I could be at...

    Free Will is the Veil

    I strive for precision and love a perfect word for an idea or a concept. Thank you very much for your participation here! And I love your parting quote from 1 Peter. Allow me to expand with my preferred translation (The Complete Bible, an American translation, by Smith and Goodspeed) "in His...

    Free Will is the Veil

    What is perfection? It is a process and a journey. Perfection starts and ends perfect and does not deviate course. Jesus in life was made perfect by virtue of His perfect walk, entering time and flesh to conduct His plan to perfection, and suffering is a part of this plan. His fleshly work was...

    Jesus became Immortal

    I am quite certain Peter had tremendous joy in this life. He, as all in Christ, will see greater things than this, of course, but His promises are presently fulfilled. Jesus was always immortal, Spirit, and powerful. He was never at risk of corruption. His life has been according to plan from...

    Free Will is the Veil

    I love meticulous procedure. I enjoy a precision process. I love to service cars for this reason, the steps are clear and the results obvious and immediate. Fastidiousness is a great pleasure of mine. I appreciate your research, your insight, and your perspective. Thank you very much for...

    Free Will is the Veil

    Oh, but thank you! You bring tremendous value. I love the Master's correction, I cherish His instruction, I seek incessantly for His teaching. The curtain of His flesh is akin to the curtain of ours, the habitation of this body of death, a shadow of the true reality to come. "Descended from...

    Free Will is the Veil

    Do you think there is only one curtain? Only one veil? Only one meaning to a given word or expression? I do not seek to discredit you, but I do not see a basis for your contention aside from the suggestion that I am wrong. I welcome your challenge, I enjoy it! But would you be so kind as to...

    Free Will is the Veil

    So good to see you, friend! I'm delighted by your wonderful and sincere question. Answered most concisely, the achievement of Christ in the flesh was the optimal, most ideal, most perfect fulfillment of God's plan for a man on this earth. He is our role model, our example, our demonstration of...

    Free Will is the Veil

    I enjoy your presence and I appreciate your input. Your perspective has value and I do not discount it. You believe my language excessive? My rhetoric is so extreme that you equate me to what is essentially a breakfast cake and instability? I completely understand. This way is foreign to you...

    Free Will is the Veil

    Your illustrations are delightful and meaningful! Thank you again for sharing. It perfectly demonstrates a youthful perspective of life and reality, a reckless freedom to indulge in base logic and straightforward answers as though they are all that exists and no meaning could ever be hidden...

    Free Will is the Veil

    This is the hang up for many. They do not trust His words. If He says He is perfect, then His work is perfect as well and would not fail. So if man fell from grace, it was by Divine intent that the voice of the flesh, the opposition the Master designed for Himself, was made to be so alluring in...
