Then it is confirmed. So be it.

I see you are following up on a previous conversation, but addressing the Title question (above): Let every Christian understand--nothing in this world is "literal". As it is written, everything is "created" as an "image" of form--all this is revelation, not reality. God is real, and has...

Your accusations, and more importantly your defense, only makes things worse for you. For it was not I who spoke. You have done it to Him--therefore, if you do not like parable or confused speech, it is also Him who you will answer to for all your grumbling. So, go ahead and respond to Him with...

I have made bold and enlarged the place in your post above where you have skipped a major part--which is that it all passes away first. Meaning, that what you expect and have expressed as your doctrine and belief, is not even in this realm or reality as you state it--at all--but is in the...

I would "Like" what you posted, but I don't like everything you said--some, but not all. You also encourage skepticism and doubt, which is not good. But the answer to your speculative questions--which just seem to be you thinking out loud, which is okay to do--is that all the things you listed...

Yes, and I should think that it is the responsibility of every Christian who is aware of such tactics, to carry that knowledge into the Church, that we might especially be aware of it going on among those who call themselves Christians--even or especially those professing to be knowledgeable or...

From Satan asking "Has God indeed said.." causing Eve to sin, to the "false teachers" in the early church foretold by Peter, to the evening news--that is how they operate--by subtle lies.

Surely you know that just as there are different types of seed and flesh and bodies, there are also different types of clouds. Is it not written, "Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory?" And surely you also know that "The kingdom of God does not come...

In giving my explanation of the matter I spoke the same words that are written--but you did not know them. What manner of would-be "Christian" demands chapter and verse--is that requirement quotable in the scriptures? You wicked servants! Did Elisha demand such when he wanted a double portion...

Oh, you want chapter and verse? My answer to you is: No. If you don't see and hear the scriptures in what I have said, that is on you. None of which I would do, if you heard or saw but sincerely did not understand. But that is not the case with you--therefore that which you have will be taken...

Oh, I see. I will explain: Balaam did not disobey. He inquired of the Lord and did what the Lord had instructed him, but had asked of the Lord a second time, as if he feared men more than God. So the Lord showed Balaam his worth and his burden. Which with the donkey as an example, God showed...

At surface value, yes. But, as I said--there's more--more in the greater overall word of God. The details of which do escape many.

The story of Balaam the prophet and his donkey who talked, is a good lesson on just how God sends people to speak for Him. It doesn't make the prophet out to be so very special as we might think of the prophets of God, but actually shows him getting reprimanded to emphasize the limit of what he...

Do you not understand that by taking on the form and likeness of a man, Jesus became death--that He "descended into the lower parts of the earth" not to become as lowly flesh forever--but rather, that He might defeat death, once for all? Ephesians 4:9

Do you not understand that He who "maketh...his ministers a flame of fire"--means He makes them Holy "Spirit" fire--that "consuming fire" of the Spirit, as He is spirit?

How many half-truths will you continue with to try and prove what you merely believe? God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:24 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48 Your kingdom come. Your will be...

Why do you do this to yourself? Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them. Job 1:6 “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! Isaiah...

Says who? If "he who alleges must prove"--show me the scripture. Isn't that how you like things? But, no, you are under the wrong impression. That is not the biblical model at all. On the contrary--God speaks (often through one of His own choosing)--and people are given the choice to believe it...

To you it is nonsense--you said that.

Which is greater, the Bible or He who inspired it? I have no need to prove anything. Does God need to prove Himself by Himself? Does one sent to declare the things of God need any more authority, that they should have to present proof to mere men? What do the scriptures say--everyone who makes...
