Much of what you are saying is true, and much of what @Episkopos said is not...but so was what John Lennon said and believed. So what? God loves them both. Imagine--neither sayings whether right or wrong condemns or saves. Being wrong is not the problem--by definition--we are all wrong. But even...

I want to be kind, but what you have said cannot be reconciled with all scripture, which I explained. You echoing what is false but commonly believed doesn't change the truth of the matter: "Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God." It is as I said. As for Jesus being fully God and...

It's a matter of interpretation. Many interpret "in the same way/manner" as He rose from the grave, as flesh. Which anyone considering and reconciling all scripture should not consider true or valid, as it is written "flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God." Contrary to popular...

We're splitting hairs. Indeed, the body is never the Head, and thus looks to the Head and does the will of the Head. But being One, means no separation and doing the will of the Head is without servitude. "As the angels" has its own meaning also. But does not mean "as the angels" separate in...

Your first sentence above is a "belief" statement--and that's okay, it's just not correct. We are to be One with the Son and the Father, no longer servants (John 17:21 and 15:15). Which leaves only the angels as servants for eternity, meaning servants also to us in God. "Like His glorious body"...

Things would certainly appear to be more complex these days, and rightly so, we have more information ("knowledge shall increase"). So that increase means an increase in the overall landscape of discerning factors. Even so, Paul simply had another job and made his own money. One could say that...

Here you make it sound like we shall not "be perfect, as our Father in heaven is perfect", but will remain some lower form of "corporeal", "resurrected body"; not One with Him, but some hybrid physical being?

The image or description is a parable or allegory, not real in the sense that we should expect to actually look up and see Jesus coming in the clouds we see regularly in the sky. That goes for a lot of other scripture also. So, God being "higher" and the world being "lower", is rather a...

I want to "Like" this, and I do, because it is correct. But if one then just assumes the rest of the delusion, false doctrine of a future, mass tribulation event...the timing issue has not fully been resolved. That mass, future event issue simply puts [demonic] fear in the hearts of faithful...

My hope is that all come to the full knowledge of God...but that requires reconciling with God (and His ways)--that has been His objective all along. But suit yourself. Yourself. And the "sale of books" was a cheap shot. For the workman is worthy of his wages.

The difference is the difference in perspective, whether our perspective of times, or Gods eternal (timeless) perspective. For full understanding, our perspective has to reconcile with God's. The only way that is possible is both coming together when "but each one in his own order" passes from...

Yeah, 2,000 years worth!

You don't know that. That's mere speculation on your part. But--some of us "know" different.

You can't just claim foreign law to justify what you want. Laws don't work that way. But I hear you, and yet you are taking the wrong approach. You are acting as if you need to ask permission. You don't. So...it would seem that you are having a moral issue with it. Why? Do what you want, and...

Judge, Thanks! It is good of you to say it like it is. I see however, a reluctance with many to not go where they are uncomfortable. I don't like to fault that, but do see it as a problem. It's operating on feelings that does that. I do have compassion for those--it's like being shy--It makes...

It would appear that you don't know what you have just said. That would spiritually translate something like this: "The dead in Christ are raise up then raised of by Jesus...then...those that are alive are raised up...and BOTH return to heaven with Jesus." Which makes three events out of one...

The "mock" is not mocking, but a long overdue "Grow up! Read the scriptures fully--what was to happen, what was laid at our feet, was wake up, rise let us be going, press on, mature, by the renewing of your mind--and finish the race. So, yeah, making a Mary had a little lamb doctrine out of the...

"But each one in his own order." sml

It's murder. The problem is swinging the pendulum to actively take on an extreme opposite role. The answer is not being proactive in causing someone to live or to die--but rather to let people live, and also let them die. Do you see the difference?

A Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, had come by night to Jesus and acknowledged that He was from God, so Jesus gave him information on what is required of all who hope that this world is not all there is, that they might go to heaven and live forever. He spoke specifically about...
