Why are you offended when it is written, "for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit?" You of little faith. Do you believe that none of this was to come, even though it has been foretold?

Why do you not therefore believe what is written, saying "it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me?" Have you seen me pass back through the gulf which none can past back through? If you speak for yourself, speak for yourself. But if I speak for God who sent me and puts the words...

Indeed, all of these are included in the details on the ground and in the hearts of those involved. But the greater meaning of "My strength is made perfect in weakness" is the full power and glory of God that is made manifest in the world before those who do not see or hear it, some not even...

Does this mean then that you would like to pass on "knowledge shall increase?" Which would you prefer? Oh, and "Christ in me" doesn't like being accused of pride.

You have the wrong idea. The creation is not a new evolving thing or plan of predestination. Predestination is simply a worldly term for what would appear to be unfolding from the worldly side of the equation. It's Birds and the Bees parental type language for things that are too complex for...

I submit that the use of the words/terms "image" and "likeness" are not without purpose, and that God would have used other words/terms if things were what people perceive them to be.

If you yourself created an "image" of a man or a group of men--and then burnt half of the image...would you have actually harmed anyone? No. Neither has God in creating man in His own "image." On the contrary, the "image" is an opportunity for everyone in the image to go to safety or go into...

The reason I answer in the way that I do...is because the answers are above the basinet level. Or will you throw the "easy enough for a child to understand" defense back at me...in the face of obvious "but when I became a man, I put away childish things" and the "maturity" to "press on" called...

"ECT?" But your last statement seems to be contrary to what I have already explained. You may view the notion of some of God's creatures suffering eternal torment in a horror movie as horrendous--but it's just a movie--an "image." --No "creatures" have been harmed during the making of this "image."

The issue here...is not what appears, but rather by what we should come to learn is not just spiritual in part, but is [all] spiritual. Just ask yourself...is not all things in God, and therefore spirit? Another way to look at it is rather in the way it is clearly presented by "image" since the...

This is not the case, but is rather a complete misunderstanding of what is written. You say "creatures"...which is fine, but it is obvious that you hold a different definition of the term than that of God. You see, the term is first qualified first and foremost as mankind being rather an...

I will answer you with a question: If the Holy Spirit speaks through those whom God sends, is it God speaking or the person? And if so, is such a thing biblical, or not biblical?

The "like manner" mentioned in Acts 1:11 -- is it your idea that it means in the manner of the flesh, or of the Spirit? Obviously you believe it to mean in the manner of the flesh, but that is incorrect. He came according to the flesh, but was raised up according to the spirit of God, saying...

This is not the first time warnings have been given in the face of rejection.

The fruit that now is comes under "My strength is made perfect in weakness"...and the meek do not parade. Even so, these are just a part of what was to be and now is. The gambit also includes everything for "false preachers" and "strong delusion" to being "lead unto all truth" by the Holy...

That is a start--good! So then, since Jesus has "already" come in the flesh, that would mean that Christ standing at the door and knocking and coming in to those who open the door...is in fact His coming "again." Which is confirmed by the saying, "it is no longer I who live, but Christ who...

This entire matter is evidenced by God dividing the light from the darkness. In other words, evil is shown as darkness, and darkness synonymous with death--which is not saved, but "destroyed." 1 Corinthians 15:25-26 It is the word "divided" (the light from the darkness) that shows separation...

Wrong is wrong...no matter what you call it. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Well, that not only makes you a name caller but a liar and an accuser. Preterist is from the Latin word, "praeter", which is a prefix denoting that something is 'past' or 'beyond'. That is not at all what I have said. But in accusing me, you yourself by implication come dangerously close to...

Context is only key if it is. Yes, there is usually a worldly context, but that context is not always the only context. Not even. The Psalms of David for example, were written regarding the worldly context of David's own life--but...parts were also prophetic and not of that original context at...
