Yes, and the reason, is because Paul is most on the cusp between "first the natural and afterward the spiritual" teachings, and the first to teach under "the firstfruits of the spirit" (Romans 8:23). What is absolutely brilliant however, is that during these times of increased knowledge (Daniel...

Until now I didn't understand what you meant by "God's Great GRACE Departure!", but I see you are trying to demonstrate a pretrib rapture. To the contrary--of scripture--what @David in NJ posted of 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 and Matthew 24:9-26 is enough (although there is much more). Those...

"To know" is not "necessary for one to...get saved." But the one thing that is necessary, is that one "believe." The scriptures then describe belief as "the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal...

"Higher spiritual meanings" is exactly "what the Spirit says", and is the very reason why many things are not simply stated in full, but require also hearing from the Spirit.

That is a lie.

That is hardly an explanation, but more of a laundry list or a rough outline of the key points of a legal defense not the actual presentation. But, I too say that God teaches and leads through men--that is His way established in the Old Testament times, and continuing on in the New Testament...

Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God what is God's. If someone in aviation told you, would you give it greater consideration?

The big issue here...is that it is hard to imagine being without the bodies we have known for so long and become accustom to. But does that mean that we should not want to imagine the reality of changing from flesh to spirit, or from this world to the kingdom of God--which we have been told...

Okay Episkopos, I can see you are trying...and I know this is your thread and you should try to save face, I get that. But we all have a need to be available to hone our beliefs--if that is what we are stating, and most are. And these times are for that very purpose of being lead "unto all...

That means taking away from much of what is written. I am not going to quote it all--you should know better--and thus are accountable for all. Here's just one: 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become...

Jesus said two things that sum it all up: "The words that I speak to you are spirit..." John 6:63 and "We speak what We know..." John 3:11 In other words (or to explain), since Jesus is the Word of God, every word of scripture is spirit--even the historic and chronicle accounts, etc. And those...

Bravo! But don't be fearful of "over spiritualizing"--that should be considered an oxymoron, as God is spirit. To the contrary, Satan loves it when we insist on being "real" according to the ways of "this world."

What is your job?

Great job, except #3 regarding context...which lacks honor for the Son (#7). Context should be considered God's alone, to do as He wills. Which He has done, and this too is written. I am sure there are many others, but two good examples are 1) Jesus claiming context for Himself from the...

Indeed there is hope as long as today is called today. However, what Jesus appointed is not simple Holy Spirit inspiration, but literally "not you who speaks, but the Holy Spirit"--which is ultimately different.

Judgment day will be as you say, but not for that reason. Luke 11:52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. History repeats among the Church. :(

That is all just so many words to explain away the simple biblical truth. Typical. :(

I stopped short of calling you out on your mocking in my last post--but here you confirm your own sinlessness is a mere fraud, as is your theology and doctrine.

You are right to think of Star Trek, for we who are in Christ "boldly go where no man has gone before"...except for the Son of man. As for the verse and its translation, see post #108.

1 Corinthians 15:37 And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain—perhaps wheat or some other grain. John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our...
