    What Does it Mean…..?

    In the above post you made two errors: 1) I gave you an answer regarding brotherhood, but you were so blinded by your suspicions you missed it; and 2) You claimed to consider all of scripture, but did not allow yourself to consider what I had already given you in validation. You are missing...

    Is The Body Of Christ The Lamb's Wife?

    It is simpler than all that you have presented. Just as the woman came out of the man, the man shall leave his mother and father and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh--again. But only those born of the same Spirit.

    What Does it Mean…..?

    You asked, "What does it mean?" I told you...and I have answered all your questions (even if you do not know it). And that thing that has been a problem between us--it's because you do not consider all scripture, but only parts.

    Parade? One of pride as sinful as LGBT parade

    You don't understand. It is not the president who aligned his birthday this very year with the 250th anniversary of the USA Military and current events--only God could do that. And because of your leaning, you shall have to wait to see what is actually true. Better if you had prayed for him.

    What Does it Mean…..?

    Far fetched? Have you never read of the prophets, or of the miracles of God, or the book of Revelation? I explained everything, but was brief with you. In full, I have written books. But why should you see the correlation with the scriptures, since you have your own ideas? Have you been caught...

    What Does it Mean…..?

    Again, the pages are not written day by day as we go, they are only revealed that way.

    What Does it Mean…..?

    There is some true in all that. But nothing that occurred after the foundation of the world was a reaction by God and His observation of the events that followed. He conceived it all--before the world began.

    What Does it Mean…..?

    Of course, I did not explain every detail. That was not the question. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was/is simply a vehicle--like the smell of morning coffee that causes one to get up rubbing their eyes and facing the daylight. And the tree of life was/is like breakfast, that one...

    What Does it Mean…..?

    Yes, it would seem backwards from our perspective of living day to day from past to future. But that is the wrong perspective--not God's perspective, but the erroneous understanding and assumption of men. In reality--God's reality, the only actual reality--that "half hour of silence in heaven"...

    What Does it Mean…..?

    Thank you for explaining your position. I don't know why it is, but you and I seem to repeat this routine of objection, followed by clarification, only to find we are generally on the same page. Oh well. The things I give answers to are for the most part, not my own, but the result of being...

    The Devil is in the Details

    True. But that does not fully account for the evils of this world many of which one does not sow and yet we are exposed to them nonetheless, making life in this world like a rollercoaster of good and evil, even if we were without sin.

    The Devil is in the Details

    That's it, that is the doctrine. The details of which are presented in the gospels.

    What Does it Mean…..?

    You said: ...And because your description indicated that God did not mean for things to go the way they did--I explain how, Yes, He did mean them to go the way they did--because He is indeed in control. But if you want to look at it differently, it is also written, by example of Joseph and his...

    What Does it Mean…..?

    Again, the one image is of this body in the flesh, in the world, while the other (spiritual) image is not yet seen: "So is everyone who is born of the Spirit" (John 3:8). So, yes, in spirit we have unity in Christ...however, "There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body" (1...

    What Does it Mean…..?

    That is a different image. Both images however, are given to us by God, neither of which can be denied. Even so, it is good to seek the image of unity rather than the image of the suffering Christ which we now are.

    What Does it Mean…..?

    Amen to that!

    What Does it Mean…..?

    How shall I answer you? “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men?” Your sentiment is not unlike Peter's, well intended--even as it should be. But God did not lose control of the fate of His creation in the garden-- On...

    What Does it Mean…..?

    Indeed it does. But... ...Such is the image of Christ on the cross, bloody, beaten, and in disarray, until the times are fulfilled. We are that body.

    What Does it Mean…..?

    That would be a common perspective, it would seem. But Jesus' bloodied and beaten body on the cross is divided day and night over many generations, one man divided as the light divided from, and at odds with, the darkness.
