    "Special Revelation" #&*@ -- Seriously??

    No, but indeed "foolishness to the natural man." What did you expect--the kingdom of God by worldly terms? But no, what I have been speaking of “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

    "Special Revelation" #&*@ -- Seriously??

    No, that is just the obstacle of language and translation of terms between a timeline and a non-timeline. The point is not to explain the object of the parable of times, but to understand the subject that they are an example of, where time does not exist. If you keep referring back to the...

    Do you speak against "Sinlessness"?

    I wasn't trying. I read your post.

    "Special Revelation" #&*@ -- Seriously??

    It is good that you respond with questions, at least in part, as there is a lot to cover. I will be brief. First, understand that God being "the same yesterday, today, and forever" ("I AM"--not I will be), means that there was and is no actual chronology or sequence of events regarding a...

    Do you speak against "Sinlessness"?

    Your explanation is reasonable, but includes conjecture which is not actually the case. A better way to understand this age old issue, is to fully consider the tenets of being born again. It is not that same body of sin that is reborn, as in your comment about being crucified "but resurrected...

    "Special Revelation" #&*@ -- Seriously??

    None of that really addresses the point. What I posted did, because I was explaining things in the same way God did in manifesting the world--by example, referring to what is of this world to explain what is not of this world. But again you make it all about this physical world...which it is...

    Christ's sinless Head with a sinful body?

    "Destructive doctrines." But why do you say "there are no new apostles" (meaning: ones sent), when "God is the same, yesterday, today, and forever?"

    "Special Revelation" #&*@ -- Seriously??

    That comes from the misunderstandings and teachings of men. On the contrary--I will explain: The flesh sees in the physical and not in the spirit, but the Spirit sees all--so shall every eye see.

    "Special Revelation" #&*@ -- Seriously??

    You are under the wrong impression. Indeed, God created the heavens and the earth and formed man of the dust of the earth--but it is also written that Adam walked in the cool of the evening with God...whom is spirit. Not beside God, nor as one would walk physically by his natural father, but...

    "Special Revelation" #&*@ -- Seriously??

    No, but all go before God in the Judgement, both the dead and the living, whether good or evil. This is the only thing that qualifies to be stated as "every eye shall see", which is also stated as "every knee shall bow." And "coming in the clouds"--is not the clouds of this earth, but "of...

    "Special Revelation" #&*@ -- Seriously??

    You still seem to be leaning in a physical direction not fully wanting to give up the flesh as Christ did, who committed His spirit only to the Father, and not His flesh. But do remember also that the end of all things is that we who are His are to be One with Christ in God, an inheritance which...

    "Special Revelation" #&*@ -- Seriously??

    By definition "every eye" is not just one generation, or one group within sight of Jerusalem. Do you too need to be told again that the scope of things, is "as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore?" And how is it that you do not know that Christ gave His "PHYSICAL"...

    "Special Revelation" #&*@ -- Seriously??

    Yes, that is correct. Nor should I, for the new heavens and new earth are the act of God to make all things "on earth as they are in heaven." Which is to say, spirit, just as God is spirit, and perfect. But don't misunderstand. What the world has known of what is "physical" was made by God...

    I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man

    The eternal word of God is not to be swayed by the changing traditions of men and of the times. Paul's words regarding women in the church may very well have been regarding the needs and circumstances in that small, local, and otherwise only historic setting--but that is not what has placed...

    Parables and saying - Why and now??

    This is the mystery of tongues made manifest. Or perhaps I should say that tongues was its own revelation that God speaks in a way that only the Spirit can interpret--intentionally, that only those who are His will understand and find safe passage through and out of this valley of the shadow of...

    "Special Revelation" #&*@ -- Seriously??

    These two posts do not make it clear just what your position actually is, and whether you are for or against the reality that the Spirit is active and God still revealing "here a little, there a little" unto the end (just before the sounding of the seventh angel). Certainly, all revelation from...

    "Special Revelation" #&*@ -- Seriously??

    You must be referring to would-be sightings of Mary in the clouds and other such faithfluff. I am not.

    Christ's sinless Head with a sinful body?

    Says one who will not be corrected.

    My agnostic friend says: "I don't need it." - How would you respond?

    That's the George Carlin explanation ("like orthopedic shoes")--and truly--no one needs "religion", in fact we would all be better off without it entirely. But that only refers to the short version of life (life in this world). However, what many do not understand is that this short life comes...

    Whosoever is born of God DOTH NOT COMMIT sin. Really?

    John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Meaning that by nature or by "kind" (Genesis 1), it is only that which is born of the Spirit, that does not sin.
