    Understanding PARABLES

    Jack, can you not imagine the story of the rich man comparing to something heavenly, some example of something greater? Because that's what parables are. That is what the world is. Even Christ is a parable. Do you not understand that God speaks in parables, to reveal the things of heaven, of...

    Free Will

    "Preexistence" (having no knowledge of the theory), is perhaps as good a word as any to describe what by God "was", "before", and "then"...and only "now made manifest." As for the theory of preexistence, I do not know--it may very well be way off the mark.

    Could heaven be made up of solid light?

    But what we do have...is a clear indication, which by faith is meant to be believed--that: "God is spirit." "Your Father in heaven is perfect." "You shall be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect." “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter...

    DID PROPHECY STOP WITH JOHN?

    That is not biblical Matthew. For by the Holy Spirit "some prophets" are given. But since you reference Jesus as when prophecy stopped (past tense)-- Was Jesus "stopped?" No, but as Daniel revealed, He was merely "cut off" "in the middle"--in the flesh.

    DID PROPHECY STOP WITH JOHN?

    Unfortunately, the canonizing process has occurred under the watch of many "false teachers" and those who follow the flesh while quenching the spirit. For which "correction" is also a measure given by God during the same time period of the Church age.

    WHAT DOES ABSENT FROM THE LORD MEAN?

    We are not "changed" per se, but that change refers rather to the "we" that is only "at home in our body" (of flesh). The "change" then referring rather to our [completely] new creation when [completely] born anew of the spirit of God. In other words, "whilst we are at home in the body" is...

    Understanding PARABLES

    Yes, please, nor any number of other topics. It is good to stay on track. Even so, every matter before God is addressed during these times in parable--the plowman does not plow or thresh forever--but these things too come as counsel from the Lord of hosts.

    Free Will

    In a word, Yes. But the answer to your question means or rather requires our understanding that Time is only a passing creation which has a purpose that is contrary to the reality of God, never changing. It is in His reality--the only actual reality--are all things. Meaning, that what we now...

    Gun guy, former military, something just isn't adding up with the Charlie Kirk situation

    Here ya go (this guy is ex CIA/NSA). Go forward to 19.00 minutes in: BREAKING NEWS on Charlie Kirk - September 13th, 2025 PS, I will caution you on this guy, per usual he has some misinfo he puts out to throw off the deep state from taking him serious.

    Gun guy, former military, something just isn't adding up with the Charlie Kirk situation

    That's actually not the one I saw. That guy is in front of Charlie. The one I saw was looking back at the people behind him on the left, on his upper right. I hope they haven't taken it down, but I just checked and for some reason it's not coming in. I'll keep trying.

    Gun guy, former military, something just isn't adding up with the Charlie Kirk situation

    The whispers are many. I saw a video closeup of the shot showing a guy at Charlie's upper right maybe 6' away, holding a cellphone, then fiddling with his hands, then recoiling like a shot fired...explained to be a cellphone gun. Which has merit because the image of blood on his left side...

    Could heaven be made up of solid light?

    Interesting. I am no expert of the science, but basically it is Light and Energy (the power of God) that makes up Matter. What I do know and can tell you, is that with that Mass comes biblical "darkness" and the "shadow of darkness." Which is the dividing of "the Light from the Darkness"...

    WHAT FOUNDATION IS THE CHURCH BUILT UPON?

    Paul's foundation is not his except that he laid it unto the Gentiles, yet what he laid was a foundation of Christ crucified. As for what foundation the Church is built upon--certainly, it is Christ who sent the prophets of old by Word, as well as by His apostles, and by those sent to be...

    Hei-Halo-Hi

    Welcome! What brought you to Indonesia? (I've been there a couple times scuba diving).

    Understanding PARABLES

    Okay Jack, you've made your point. Anything more would not be edifying.

    DID PROPHECY STOP WITH JOHN?

    Yes, it is true that it was all finished in Christ. But that is subjective, because... 1)He was (past tense) slain before the foundation of the world; 2) then came and fulfilled the law and the prophets for that first told that He must bring (the house of Israel)--which He finished, and even...

    DID PROPHECY STOP WITH JOHN?

    Yes, I understood that to be what you said the first time. And yes, that ended the Old Testament time before Christ. However, the OT prophecies by the OT prophets did not end there--because their prophecies included the times of the gentiles. Do you not understand that? Also (because you did...

    Understanding PARABLES

    Understanding PARABLES

    You are right about the story of the rich man--but it's a story, nonetheless, but yes, true. However, that is not what is meant by saying "all scripture is parables." Sorry, it does need explanation: It is rather all the world, all creation that is all a form of parables--and scripture is what...

    Understanding PARABLES

    Some expect the return of Jesus to be as a Lamb, some as a Lion, but many more combined have expected Him to return in the distant "future" and in the "flesh." For which He gave warning, saying "you also"--"you" even of that time: Matthew 24 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is...
