I see it here everyday. The scriptures (even those we have, let alone all the books that could be written of Christ), are misunderstood here and everywhere in Christendom. It would be too much to list them all, but a few recent examples are: The Catholics refer to the [worldly] elements as...

They say changing ones beliefs is like divorce or death. Most would even say--even of all generations, but certainly of this generation, that these are times of change. And they are. But it is not yet perceived by many that the times in which "knowledge shall increase" foretold by Daniel the...

That is only true for the evil servant who Christ cuts in two leaving them to their preference of life in flesh and blood and heaping burdens upon men. Matthew 24:51

No. You are wrong (again, and again). Christ is the Son of David. Christ is King. The church is appointed "a kingdom", as His body, not as Head.

You do not understand. It is--God is--all spiritual. What you are referring to--all that you now see, is only made manifest that the man of sin should be revealed before the judgement. And so he is.

That is why I am contending with you--because you "reject the revelation of God!" You say the words but do not understand even what you are saying. "Apostles" are those "who are sent." But what you apparently do not understand although it is written, is that God has poured out His spirit upon...

No. Wrong again. Jesus was referring to being first born of water (of women), and then born again of the spirit of God.

No. Paul was speaking to Timothy "a worker": Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 When are you going to start admitting and confessing that you are wrong about these many things?

Regarding all matters pertaining to the salvation afforded to all who are espoused to Christ: So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate. Matthew 19:6 PS, Your above Glossary of Terms above is only helpful as separate parts...

You do not speak of or for the kingdom of God, nor do you know it. God is spirit.

Again, you misunderstand. "Good" even "very good", is not "perfect." That was in the beginning. But, you have come no further. How then shall you "be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect?" Matthew 5:48 Indeed--it is evident you are only at the beginning, and need to start over.

I have not said "stupid", but the scriptures refer to not seeing the things of the spirit, as "blindness."

I don't know what a "manichean" even is. You are still looking at the scriptures through the lens of men's teaching, which are of the flesh, and you are not "rightly dividing the word of truth" according to what is of this world and what is of the kingdom of God. As I said, just as Christ...

He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. Mark 16:16 There is no water mentioned here. Do you not get that? Do you not understand that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is not with water?

Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. Ezekiel 36:25 The words are spirit, and the reference here to "idols" includes everything that is not of the spirit--including water. Are you not getting any of...

You are confusing the sign with the actual baptism of the Holy Spirit. What you have pointed out in scripture is indeed there, but it is not there for you to make a lengthy religious practice of it. It is there because the simple act of believing faith for salvation also comes with instructions...

You are dividing our part (faith) from God's part (baptism) for religious purposes...and confusing your own understanding of the simplicity of what God has done for our salvation. You have ventured out into the weeds and off the path, and should turn back, back to the gospels which are not...

The new covenant of Christ combines the principles of the old commandments into just a few. It is the new covenant commandments that are to be kept. Read the gospels.

I couldn't even read all that...it all starts out as manmade religious nonsense. The gospels define it correctly, but you and your fathers have made a religion out of your own practice which have gone far beyond--off the path of what is written and called for. Stick with the gospels and scripture.

Each defines a different part of salvation which is one thing. If you want more, look them up. The point is God has broken it down for understanding--not that they should be considered things that come on a timeline. The same is true of history...it just the story of all that is timeless with...
