On the contrary, the garden of creation is "eastward" of heaven.

"Regeneration" like many topics of scripture, is presented "as through a glass dimly"...meaning purposely obscured until revealed by the Holy Spirit. In that less than clear presentation, it would first appear and seem to mean that our mortal bodies are regenerated, which is not so, and is only...

That does not reconcile with God being "the same yesterday, today, and forever" or the infinite and timeless, "I AM" nature of God. The things of God and heaven do not conform to the terms of this world, but we rather are to conform to His terms--which are not of this world.

You are under the wrong impression about interpretation. We are not supposed to attempt to interpret the scriptures--that is what Pentecost revealed--that without the interpretation by the Holy Spirit, it all comes out like men drunk on new wine. Hence the multitude of bible interpretations and...

Heresy is simply men preaching and teaching their own errorred understanding of what is written. Unfortunately, there are also many who don't know the difference between what comes directly from God, and what they have been falsely taught and believed, causing some true to be labeled heretics...

NONE OF WHAT IS WRITTEN IS ACTUALLY ON A TIMELINE. All was/is fulfilled in the twinkling of an eye. Only God's revelations to this world are on a timeline. The 144,000 refers to all God's elect of the 12 tribes of Israel. They are those who died with Christ, who was "the Last" of Israel, aka...

There is and should be no question that those who believed and whole heartly followed God and His ways, had faith in His promises of deliverance. Other than that, I'm not sure what you're getting at.

That is completely understandable, and yet we have a precedence that is completely different than that: When Messiah came Israel was not yet ready either, and in fact had perhaps become its worst, even rejecting and crucifying their Messiah, while being quite full of themselves. Perhaps you can...

Yes! And blessings to you for as much as expecting it to come! There is and has been a great deal of misunderstanding regarding the promise of Christ sending the Holy Spirit to lead us unto all truth. The first, is that it all seemed to be foretold as occurring during the same time of false...

First things first: If you think my explanation is word salad, welcome to the confusion placed upon all language by God at Babel. But it is not my explanation that is confused, but rather the words of scripture which are no exception to His order that all language be confused. My explanation on...

I have no theology, but have spoken to you the truth from God.

Understanding the truth from God--is not a competition. And yet it goes on as if it were, all the time...as if we all had a say or a vote...or even equal access to the Holy Spirit. But that is not what is going on. That is not how things work. Not because I say so, but because God has made if...

You can cherry-pick a verse that seems to support your own beliefs and desires all you want--but that doesn't make it biblical, not if your understanding of it doesn't reconcile with the rest of scripture. And your stated understanding does not reconcile.

Surely, arguing is a human trait based in insecurity. But there is another aspect or two that we even see here on Christianity Board: There are those who have built their house upon any manner of beliefs and stand guard to defend it whether right or wrong. And then there is the actual truth...

According to John 1 and Hebrews 13:8, they at least eventually did know it to be true. But the mere fact that Jesus is God (as many scriptures indicate), there should be no question.

Your beliefs are not entirely biblical. Which comes from a misunderstanding of what the world actually is. It is not a place and time to bring everyone around to salvation, but the manifestation of all that was before the world began. This is the evidence being presented before the judgement...

The truth of Christ's return is even more astounding than you have stated. Jesus said He would come "soon" and "quickly" and stating all that "must shortly take place"--and then He explained just how it would occur, saying, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and...

I wasn't speaking of my salvation, or giving an interpretation of my own, but stating the truth from God. Do you not believe that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever in His acts of revelation here a little there a little, not to be finished until just before time no longer?

What is holding you up? Incidentally, I was not giving my opinion, but speaking by the same Spirit which God has poured out since the beginning.

I am not sure just what it is you are getting at. Even in failure Israel did succeed in being a light unto the gentiles, and a foundation built with flesh and blood, even to make straight the way of the Lord, who having died and paid for the sins of the world, bore fruit of the Spirit thereafter.
