    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Obviously that went right over your head. Do you even have a head?

    The Absolute Truth.

    This is not a question for @Phil . so Phil, please do not reply. Should I be flattered that an AI "Likes" me?

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    You say that as if it were an impossibility. It's not. By the same means, looking in a mirror produces a reflection, an image. In other words, "He who has seen Me has seen the Father", does not show or prove that God's own image is not God, but rather that Jesus is an image ("in Our image").

    The Absolute Truth.

    Continuing to comment after my checkmate, just gives more evidence that it is not what you have said, but what you are and are not--which by definition, if not said to a person--is not "personal." The gig is up.

    The Absolute Truth.

    I have no questions of you. But I will say, all you are doing is noting context, and that the one is not of the context of the other. Good for you, but you are being misleading...as if a fool who says, "there is no God."

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Philippians 2:5-8 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance...

    The Absolute Truth.

    You are out of your league, your element. All you are doing is defining your own understanding as limited to your own definition. To the contrary of what you have stated, what is true, is that finite cannot define infinite.

    The Absolute Truth.

    Mankind was created infinite, but was cast out and there became finite in a finite world wherein all are born finite. Therefore, mankind must be born again out of this finite world, back into and of the infinite realm of God.

    The Absolute Truth.

    That's not true. All the world is finite, while God is not.

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    On the contrary, the fact of God lowered Himself in the form of a man--is not proof that He is not God--but rather that He is.

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Faith comes from getting a glimpse of something that is otherwise unseen, and believing there is something more to it.

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    You have expressed a good and honest question and dilemma. Unfortunately, you and science, and the literalist inerrantist are all wrong. Actually, most of Christendom has also suffered under the same issue, and Israel before them, and all before that since Adam. It is given to me to give you...

    I SANCTIFY Myself, that they themselves also may be SANCTIFIED in truth

    The better understanding of John 17:19 (by definition of the original language) would be: "And for their sake I dedicated myself to You Father that they themselves also may be dedicated to You in truth."

    Wine at the Baptist Church

    We just changed churches about 6 months ago, and like the Pastor's approach and teaching. Yet their affiliation while being a bit liberal asks people to sign into membership agreeing with things that I know not to be biblically sound. We had that discussion with the Pastor and are continuing to...

    Yes you heard that right.

    I thought maybe it was about the homeless, short for "Here, EAT." But no: City of Phoenix: Phoenix’s Office of Heat Response and Mitigation (OHRM or HeatReadyPHX) is leading the efforts of the hottest large city in the United States to fight the growing hazard of urban heat. OHRM focuses on...

    The Amazing Heresy

    State of the Church: What is most astounding regarding church history, is that virtually none have or do considered themselves to be acting under the "false teachers" foretold by Peter and also by Paul. Even Jesus noted that He had "somewhat against" 5 out of the 7 churches mentioned in the...

    born of spirit

    The only ribbon of truth on these matters down through all of history--including Japanese history, is recorded in the collection of books known as the modern Christian Bible. As for Japanese history, does 始 not show "to" "women" "a platform" or "garden" as the "beginning?" This is the same story...

    Irrefutable biblical proof that death is abolished at the second coming

    It was foretold of the church age, that it would be corrupted by false teachers bringing in destructive doctrines, and they have. As a result, the raised-on-religion, hand-me-down version we now have of Christianity is not greatly different than those first days when the spirit of antiChrist was...

    Irrefutable biblical proof that death is abolished at the second coming

    I wanted to applaud at different times reading your above speculations. But that, unfortunately, even though inspired by the scriptures, does not accurately explain it, but gives rather a vision of well intended religious conjectures and error. Which is not a bad thing--not meant to be...

    What is the difference between a Jew and a Christian?

    That is too elementary, and because of it, error. One cannot count the same God in spirit and in flesh a second or third time, any more than a person can rightfully count me, myself, and I, separately as three different people. That's psychotic. One could make the same argument about how many...
