I see church as a group of spiritual believers together with disciples learning to be spiritual. But I agree that the church is living stones in the Spirit being built up in a heavenly place where God has laid down the cornerstone and foundation of His glorious temple.

As in....always carrying the death of Jesus so that His life is made manifest through us. God wants to bring us to a narrow place....a place that none of us would go because of self-preservation. So God has to convince our inner person that He is safe and can be trusted. Once faith is begun in...

I have posted a diagram of the tabernacle with the dimensions added....which is very pertinent to this thread. Let me just start by saying that the tabernacle represents the human heart. Has anyone ever heard of this or considered this before?

I have posted the opining statements....now I wait for comments or questions.

This is why don't usually post any of the deeper truths here.....people don't understand them. Or want to... It is a sign of the times.

The kingdom of God is a spiritual place....NOT of this world. The Millennial rule is distinct from a spiritual place....which is in Zion which is above. THAT kingdom does not come down from heaven until the next age. But there is a sample state first....when Jesus comes to earth to teach His...

A race isn't over until it's over.

At least....not yet. The Millennial reign of Christ and His saints is training for eternity...and is the sabbath rest of this world's history. Jesus is returning to earth soon to begin this phase of history.

Jesus said...they who endure to the end will be saved....not all will endure to the end. Jesus also said that many try but few are able to enter in the gate. What is that gate? Jesus is the gate to heaven. Very few will enter in and find rest in the heavenly realm of the Spirit. I think our...

Not so much. We are called to follow Him...and that means going where He is...not just remaining where we are and as we are. Faith involves action and motion. It is belief that is static. We are to STRIVE to enter into that rest....not just relax into a sort of non caring and passive state...

Actually being born makes one a babe in Christ. I'm talking about spiritual puberty....basically unknown in the sunday nurseries of the modern church.

Being passive is all too common in todays church. People say...Jesus did it all already. If someone is sick....let God heal them....let God bring revival and die for the world. I'll just sit back and claim my salvation ticket and exploit the sacrifice of Jesus to my heart's content. But then...

That's not biblical but your own personal interpretation that contradicts Jesus.

It begins by Jesus Christ in us as a sample.....then we surrender all to buy the product. So then yes, the way to God is a 2 step process. In the old days they called it the baptism of the Spirit.....or the 2nd blessing. But I see it as changing locations....into abiding in Christ. I think too...

Even though the translation is the same...borne upon her sides... The Hebrew actually is clearly that....with no hidden meanings apparent. I always look for words that stick out as if they were put there to be noticeable in the out of context placement. But in the case of the above verses I...

The hidden word in the text you provided is emounah....faith. Why do I call it a hidden word? Because it doesn't seem to fit with the resat of the sentence. This happens a lot in Hebrew scriptures. God sends in a monkey wrench into the text to show an eternal dimension. For instance when...

Oh my...the whole basis of truth is based on more than one dimension. There is the eternal AND the temporal where mankind is concerned. Think about this....Why are there always 2 words to describe the will of God....like Spirit AND truth. All the ways of God are mercy and truth. There are...

We need to endure to the end to be "saved" in an eternal way. Otherwise we are engaging in salvation by obedience to Christ with the evidence of love for others as He loves. even if we are exercising spiritual gifts, that in no way guarantees our acceptance into the kingdom later on. We need...

You'd have to know Hebrew to get the point here. The translators are forced to make compromises with the text. Otherwise it makes no sense as written. But it is in studying these strange wordings that we find the original meaning intact. The prefix Bet....mean "in" The suffix vav denotes a...
