That's true. But that was a word given long ago when things had time to play out. The difference now, is that the time written of that would finish the mystery of God as He declared to His servants the prophets is upon us--and the wait-and-see approach is not going to work this time.

No, the scriptures are not the final say on everything. That is not biblical. Everything in the scriptures is indeed the word and authority of God. However, within their contents it is written that a final word would yet come only after "He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of...

I will answer your question. The word of God is spirit (John 6:63). The fact that you do not even know what that means speaks volumes, but it is a starting point. Meaning, you have no business speculating or making claims regarding the literary meaning of scripture. Not knowing what "God's word...

No. You are off the rails, and not acknowledging the word of God as spirit, but rather as merely what is common among men. That's quite enough. That is my witness. So shall it be written of you.

Why do you try to control the understanding of scripture? You purpose an exercise in futility. The words are spirit, and must be spiritually discerned--not by some method established by men.

Very little of the scriptures are not spiritual. Certainly, Hebrews 10:37 is spiritual. But you are being difficult. Is it on purpose? Do you not know that it is the Spirit that expounds upon all scripture?

Again you openly lie. "Expounding" is exactly what I have been doing. In fact--you have complained because I have. If you are under medical or mental care (or should be)? Please make yourself known, because you are contradiction your own words.

Is this all just been an attempt to impose your definition (whether common or not) on how to EXEGETE?

The context is spiritual. Do you deny this? The writer's intent is to do the will of God, which is confirmed to be His will by His preserving it for all eternity. As for exegete (expounding), that is indeed what I have done--but not of my own, but from God according to the finishing of His...

ex·e·gete /ˈeksəˌjēt/ noun an expounder or textual interpreter, especially of scripture. verb expound or interpret (a text, especially scripture). When have I not "expounded?" Expounding in context (by the Spirit is exactly what I have done. Are you denying that the words are spirit?

It has to do with all scripture--because "the words are spirit." Only then, is a scriptural study complete. Otherwise it is only "foolishness."

By such a measure, you would not have heard from God at all during the time of the early patriarchs following creation. You are like one who insists the Temple is only stone. There is scripture, and then there is what the scripture reveals and points to. Do you deny this? As for "full...

Sorry, I stopped short of giving a complete answer before to this part. Had to run. Corroboration is good of course. But what is missing in that, is hearing His voice. The Pharisees, for example, knew the scriptures quite well, but did not know Christ by His voice--mainly, because they expected...

I have not taken the thread off the Hebrews 10:37 topic, you have by setting your own limit on it short of the fulness thereof, against the greater glory of God. Have you not read, that "with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you?"

Now you lie, for I have not thrown out conjecture or given my opinion, as it is not me who has been speaking. As for the scriptures, I gave you more than you asked for, which your reject, apparently because it does not fit within the limit you have imposed. But you are not the measure of all...

No, those who disagree are not speaking by the same spirit. Which is the choice set before all: "life and death, blessing and cursing." Which is not made void by the gift of the Holy Spirit. To the contrary, He who restrains, restrains until He is taken out of the way. Meaning that time of the...

You should take your own advice. Why do you assume I have been throwing out my own "conjecture?" I have not--but you have--not including in your interpretation the greater context, which you apparently have no knowledge of. But you assume on many fronts. I have included, apparently more than...

You are being kind, thank you! Yes, it is true what you say, but only true among those who merely interpret by the best of their knowledge and ability, even with the Holy Spirit. Even with the Holy Spirit, because even He cannot give what is not given to Him, for He does not give what is His...

You misunderstand. The reason I responded the way I did, was to say that my answer was not of men or of this world (not a stone), but from God (bread from heaven).

The reason is that "today, tomorrow...and the third day"--the three days of Christ (Luke 13:32), was a summary of all time from the beginning to the end, and also a foreshadowing of what was to come. "Today" was unto the house of Israel; "tomorrow" was and is unto the gentiles; and "the third...
