:) Well, they all drink out of the same damn communion cup for one. Its gosh damn unsanitary for Christ sake. This is of course not the only reason, but I really don't care to list the rest, as I'm sure the rest have already been listed sixteen times over.

:rolleyes:...........I said Jesus Christ is the life giving source within the tree as he is "the life", which is why the tree is called the tree of life. Jesus Christ is not the tree itself, the tree is a creation, and Jesus Christ is not a created being. If you have a problem with what is...

Not understanding what point you are trying to make here. o_O

You have to understand the mindset of Gnosticism. To them, the flesh equals "bad", while the spirit equals "good", by default of it being "flesh" and "spirit". God created it and calls it "very good" while the gnostics calls it "very bad", and even calls the being that created the flesh an...

Spare me the foolishness, I've seen enough of it. Anybody with eyes to see and ears to hear knows why its called the tree of life. If it wasn't obvious to you just reading Genesis, then it's been revealed in Revelation, which is, you know, why its called Revelation. There is no mystery to it...

:rolleyes:....OK, so in other words you can't acually give a real answer just as I thought. Typical folks, you see this is what happens whenever certain 'believers' prattle on at length about their borderline gnostic beliefs and I bring up the tree of life on the new earth. It throws a huge...

Since you want to use more one liners, I might as well just take this out of context as you have done time and again. "Thy will be done on on earth as it is in heaven" can literally mean anything. His will could be to take a dump on earth for all you know since this is all you want to go on. If...

Why do you care so much about what day he rose on or what day Christians choose for church service? Yeah, scripture strongly indicates he was long gone before Sunday morning hit. But really, who cares when it comes down to it? What is important is that he died for our sins and rose again, its...

Sure you don't, but...ok, you wouldn't know. To get down to brass tacks, What is a "glorified body" to you? Will it be pure spirit? Will the new earth be pure spirit?

:rolleyes:............."name calling"? Ok, so be it, I call it like I see it. How about you actually give a real response to my charge? How does your Gnosticism explain the existence of the tree of life in New Jerusalem?

Ok, and all you did was make minor changes between the two statements that changes nothing at all about the fact that they were promised to see him again descending the same way they saw him ascend. If the eye witnesses actually gave me a reason to believe there was a change of state, I would be...

Apparently, some people don't believe Jesus when he said "it is finished" on the cross. The word "finished" means something else other than "complete" or "done" to these people. Apparently, there is more work to be done on our part.......

:rolleyes:....I used the whole scripture in context, unlike you only quoting a few words from a verse. :rolleyes:....No, I am defending the word of God. As it pertains to prophecy, me "seeing him as he is" will have nothing to do with being turned into a spirit being anymore than it did for...

:cool: Knowing that God isn't the inept, despotic, douchebag many Christians have made him out to be certaintly put me at a much better place of peace than I was just three or so months ago. Oh you have no idea how easy that makes it for me to put my faith in him........hot dammit.

:rolleyes:..........Here we have a shining example of how cults are formed. Just take a small part of a verse here or there and form an entire doctrine out of it. To such cults, most of Christianity is "mistaken". Here is the scripture in question. Translation: I will not leave you comfortless...

I don't have to reconcile anything, scripture does that for me. The "flesh and blood" being referred to is the mortal "flesh and blood" of the first Adam you inhabit now, not the "flesh and blood" of the second Adam that is made incorruptible like the body of Jesus Christ. Scripture is very...

It seems that people are assuming that God is such a weakling that he isn't capable of freeing his creation from the curse of death unless he transforms it into a pure spirit being, something it never was to begin with and there is nothing in scripture indicating that it ever will in the future...

But the Bible also says this: So are you saying you are still a child in the faith? To have faith in God entails a lot more than just knowing the basics, that "I am saved by the blood of Jesus". At some point, your faith is supposed to grow beyond that of a child, so that you can actually be...

If one wants to take a verse here or there completely out of context, then yes, the body could be resurrected without blood. There is no legitimate reason given in scripture to believe such a thing, but I'm not taken aback by it at all. There is all shades of weirdness being spread that people...

As I recall, the last book John wrote was revelation. It's called revelation for a reason, its because the time for allegories and parables are over with. I'm only describing the "spirit" as John saw it, not as "the world" would see it. When John describes the presence of blood in heaven, then I...
