    Symbolism

    Weeping and gnashing of teeth is not exclusively for those condemned, but also for those whose conduct is akin to those who are: Matthew 24:51 and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Although you accuse me of...

    Symbolism

    That will all be wrong when you pass. Is that clear enough? (rhetorical). There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. So be it. I told you so.

    Dream About The Puppies

    There are babes among us dogs.

    Rapture Thoughts of Some Early Church Leaders

    The important and correct version came from God through Paul, who explained that two types are raised up, but each one person in their own order or time. Anything else is the false teachings of men.

    Symbolism

    You say "the good kind (of logic)" after using worldly logic to argue and mock a godly matter. Not "good." But I was being facetious, hoping you would see the error of your logic. But you didn't, you doubled down. Typical. :( Based on that, you deserve no further explanation.

    Symbolism

    And once again...you're imposing limits...based on your own understanding and interpretation.

    Symbolism

    I have told you enough. What do the scriptures say the purpose of what I have said is?

    Symbolism

    You asked, I answered and told the truth. The fruits of Paul's life? You mean: "stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often. From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked...

    Symbolism

    The problem is, you assumed that is what I meant, and apparently you were not open to any other possibility. Such a negative default position is a good example of how private interpretations can easily go wrong.

    Symbolism

    You are so out in left field saying that! That is not biblical. Has God--who is spirit--not sealed His word with seven seals? Not knowing this is a good example of your position, and of your actual biblical knowledge.

    Symbolism

    I am not here acting out "my" position. I thought I made that clear. I did. Were you not paying attention? But I have stated what is biblically true of symbols: God has used symbols intentionally, as example to simpler things, but also to seal all truth only to be unsealed by the Spirit--this...

    Symbolism

    Another lie. I am not going to go back and quote you (I already have quoted you). But your every post is full of "you" this, "you" that.
  13. ScottA

    Symbolism

    That is a lie. I do not take things upon myself. You only assume that I do, even though I have told you different. And I do not "believe" I am acting under a higher power--that too is a lie. I "know" as before the face of God. You do as well? I made a thread about that very thing--about how...

    Symbolism

    Scripture imposes limits to be followed ("You follow Me" John 21:22). The only exception comes by being sent, or by specific spiritual gifts. There is no general rule to be imposed on one another.

    Symbolism

    You have made so many errors I will have to take them one at a time. I'm not going to run them all together as you have just done--because what I have posted as scripture, given by God, "here a little, there a little", is "salad" to you instead of words by the same Spirit "precept upon precept"...
  16. ScottA

    Symbolism

    What sort of logic is this that you are using? Was the Lamb alive "before the foundation of the world", was He alive 4,000 years before He was born? Time for: "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and...

    Symbolism

    This may take a while--because you are circling back and projecting. God imposing limits, doesn't mean it's okay for you to do the same-- Like I said before, you are taking things upon yourself--as if you were God. Which is you blaming "your positions on God"--and projecting your own habits on...

    does God destroy enemies who obstruct His redemptive plan for the sake of that plan, or does He destroy people for the sake of Israel’s enemies?

    Time is but an illusion created by God. As such there is no actual timetable. This is rather a form of media, of revelation. The pages of history are like the pages of a book that is already written--what actual timeline does a book have, the story timeline, the time it takes to read the story...

    does God destroy enemies who obstruct His redemptive plan for the sake of that plan, or does He destroy people for the sake of Israel’s enemies?

    God is Savior. Everything is not happening in "real time" as it may seem--everything is actually after-the-fact. Meaning, God does not destroy in the way we think of destroy. The damage is done--was done--before the world began ("before the foundation of the world") and we did this to...
