    A philosophical question

    It is a good question...because what we experience is what we assume is real, and it is, well sort of. God has indeed made those thoughts in His mind manifest in the world, which He even wrote in heaven. But "the Word became flesh" is a good indication of just how real the things of this world...

    Why Will "all nations" attack Israel?

    Hello Jack, Israel and Jerusalem are different, especially if you are considering the modern state of Israel. So the claim by God is more specific. Jerusalem is the heart, or as if the Holy of Hollies of Israel. Which is to say, the passage is rather referring to God Himself. In other words...

    When “God Told Me” Becomes a License to Lie

    Yes, He is. But you have me all wrong, and your own understanding of the scriptures is apparently not working for you. And you should know that men do not judge the Spirit in those Christ sends, without consequence. Are you so perfect that you think you can judge if a donkey, or a pagan, or a...

    Be Careful of the wolves in sheeps clothing

    Who is an "heretic", but he who falsely accuses his brother? :( Oh, and I reported your post where you showed me as saying what you said, as if you were quoting me.

    Be Careful of the wolves in sheeps clothing

    You got the wrong church. Do you not know that Christ's church is solely built by what comes directly from the Father, as He told Peter--and not by "flesh and blood"; and that there is also a church that has since that time followed "flesh and blood" against those words from Christ, who have...

    Be Careful of the wolves in sheeps clothing

    You have mixed two separate acts of Christ (not "rightly dividing" them). Surely we have been here before, and I am now having to repeat myself! Again: Jesus 1) went to the cross in the flesh and rose from the dead in the flesh. But afterward, what did Jesus say to Mary Magdalene? "Do not...

    If I will that he tarry till I come?

    That's logical, limited, but logical. In a "precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little there a little" narrative it should be understood that we even be expected to connect the dots, even if things seem unrelated. Now I don't mean without biblical cause, but with; and if with, who is...

    If I will that he tarry till I come?

    Hi Rob, 1 Thessalonians 4:15 refers to (says) when "we who are alive and remain." I was pointing out that both Jesus and Paul were referring to the same time...but that Paul frames his witness in a time the saved "remain" "alive." The point is that, Paul's witness is a correction of the common...

    If I will that he tarry till I come?

    I was not saying the time that Peter asked Jesus "What about this man?" or "You follow me." was here, there, or anywhere--it was John who vignetted it in chapter 21 where it is stated. I was referring to the timing of Jesus' return--His second coming, based on the language used that can be take...

    If I will that he tarry till I come?

    John 21 20 Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?” 21 Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “But Lord, what about this man?” 22 Jesus said to him, “If I will that he...

    If I will that he tarry till I come?

    Regarding the timing of the return of Christ: John chapter 21, verse 22 is one of the verses that make Jesus' return seem to be future, and even as a mass, one-time event. However, if you look at the original wording the scriptures do not support that idea: John 21:22 "Jesus saith unto him, If...

    When “God Told Me” Becomes a License to Lie

    You have from scripture the words regarding the church age, specifically saying, "all"--beginning at Pentecost, all following Christ the firstfuits born of the Spirit--and you reject it. So be it, bound in heaven, so shall it be written.

    When “God Told Me” Becomes a License to Lie

    You're still doing it. It is written, "And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. And on My menservants and on My...

    When “God Told Me” Becomes a License to Lie

    Why does this offend you, when it was you yourself who fell short? For, it is written: "to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability."

    When “God Told Me” Becomes a License to Lie

    What you did and I pointed out to you, you now accuse me of. Enough said.

    Be Careful of the wolves in sheeps clothing

    I went to God in the third heaven. I also went to the church--including you. But the church is corrupt, the result of false teachers, as was Israel with false Priests--both of whom have done horrible things against God and were in need of correction, which God has provided.

    Be Careful of the wolves in sheeps clothing

    Oh...how wrong...and you don't even see it. That is not biblical!

    When “God Told Me” Becomes a License to Lie

    It is also written, "I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people." Which is the new covenant...but you have left it out, not giving all truth, but only part. So, yes, consider "all truth" which comes by the Holy Spirit...

    When “God Told Me” Becomes a License to Lie

    Look--I am not going to rehash every point. But I have named and identified your false statements when they occur. You not receiving the correction, does not mean I have not stated it--it's all recorded here in print. Again, you reject the idea--but yes, you are persecuting Christ in me. But...

    When “God Told Me” Becomes a License to Lie

    If you just posted scripture, there is no lie. But that is not all you have posted, you have posted claims of your own--which we have covered already--and it is you who has taken up the sword and resorted to making accusations...not unlike Paul kicking against the goads. :(
