Like I said, much of what you have said is good and true. But so was what Satan said in the garden. He cut and pasted too. Here's the thing... You have so described your way--even as God's way--as directly from God, that you describe you as an asexual attempt at cloning you as Christ-like, that...

Wow, surprised I never saw this. I couldn't read it all. Too much ranting--not that it's not deserved--but not enough focus on the title issue. Too bad. Unfortunately, yes, there are many loose interpretations and hijackings of the "rightly dividing the word of truth" passage. But the shame of...

What you have said is recorded. In your own self-centered defense you have said much that is not correct. I am not going to repeat myself. If you want clarification, ask. But now you give Jesus credit for being the only way to the Father--that's good. And much of what you have said is true--no...

I enlarged your above question as it is the crux of the problem. You are a man of good works, and God is with you. That is not the issue now at hand during these times. If you consider it enough, then consider it enough. God is good! However, that is not all there is to the many matters of...

While all that does perhaps require a renewing of the mind, "the renewing of your mind" refers rather to "rightly dividing the word of truth" between what is Godly and worldly regarding what is written--which is to say, between what is actually of eternity and what is of the times of this world.

Romans 1:18-21 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible...

Oh, one would think that the renewing of the mind would be possible after 2,000 years. Perhaps not. But then again--how many times must it be said--after all this time, it is still true: "the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."

Sharing what was written but sealed for a time, restrained, but now revealed...just as it was foretold to occur.

What you have made a negative accusation of Paul, was actually him doing what he was instructed to do--by the Lord of all. He was in fact instructed to be all things to all people (that he might save some), and do so in a way that it could be taught as instructions to many generations. That the...

All good, and I although you didn't claim raising the dead, etc., I do applaud you. It is good! Although that is not the "greater works" Jesus was referring to. Jesus came onto the world scene at the apex of what would occur by the power of God among men, between the days following the first...

What signs and greater works have you done? I am not a follower of Paul as you put it, but am a fellow servant and follower of Christ in God. What "imitation" taught by Paul are you accusing him of? I am not trying to convince you. Period. I was sharing what is written of these times with...

We who are Christ's all follow Christ, but we also follow Paul for he came before us just as did the immediate former generation and our own fathers and those before. The lineage from Christ until now, does indeed include many false teachers and those we ought not follow, but Paul was not one of...

True enough on the timeline OF THIS WORLD, but the kingdom is not of this world. The things of God are not actually on the world's timeline, but only revealed there/here. For this reason (although it has been interpreted by many according to this world), it is written "the Lamb slain BEFORE the...

Don't assume that Israel's failures, are Christ's failures. I did not mean that all Israel was saved--no, but rather "Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt" (Daniel 12:2). But the point is--none are born again of the spirit of God, except "in Christ."--which those...

JOHN 3:1 regarding Israel, is a TIME-BASED issue. All Born Again activity was and is "in Christ"--the timing of which, as with Paul who said "I was crucified with Christ" (past tense)--occurred during the time of Christ's receiving the Holy Spirit when baptized by John in the Jordan. Which, by...

No, Jesus had come for the house of Israel, and "It is finished" for them. After which He had an "other fold" (of the gentiles) He "must also bring", "tomorrow." But "the third day" was when Jesus himself would "be perfected", meaning the time of his ascension...making the gentiles "first" by...

I was about to "Like", but then you mentioned "confusion." Which was not then taken away, but has remained during the times of the gentiles...which would continue until just before the sounding of the seventh angel. Otherwise, all is good--thank you!

Careful, "spiritualizing" stuff--the things of the Spirit, is Godly. What was to be finished well after the time Jesus walked the earth, is what was foretold (as I mentioned in the OP): The sealed portion of the mystery presented to Daniel, and that which the seven thunders uttered in the...

Also true, and yet that does not speak to the purpose for which we who are in Christ were left "alive and remaining" in the world (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17). We have the unique purpose of spiritually receiving directly from the Father, the finish of the mystery of God. Yet, most are in slumber...
