I did already, and if you knew the scriptures you would know that. So, no, in light of your continued name calling, I will not. Not for you.

Speak for yourself. You also double down. By the same measure it shall also be measured to you.

If we are eating [good] food from God, we go from hearing to believing to knowing by the confirmation of the Spirit...which, no, you cannot lose. If you, on the other hand, heard from God, then sidestepped the Holy Spirit to hear and get your confirmation from men...then you may have gotten off...

First of all...these are your terms, you called "hogwash" without scripture. But, hey, okay I forgive you. The simple answer...since I am on my phone and not able to give chapter and verse, nonetheless I will quote...is: just as Christ was not born into the world until the time appointed but...

Yes, some think the truth is hogwash.

Free will is each person deciding their own eternal fate before the foundation of the world, and then walking it out in the world of time as a testimony for or against themselves before the Judgment.

You seem to have the wrong idea about my position. I am on the road an on my phone, but think it best if I start a new thread when I get back. Meanwhile, no, none of those things you mentioned contradict my position, but confirm it. On the contrary, your idea (and that of most) that all those...

No, that is how those of the world think. But for God's people, the times are appointed, and limited. "Then comes the end."

The confusion or debate here is the result of not understanding God's [actual] timing. The problem is--with God there is no timing: "I am" means things just "are." In the world, Paul explained, saying the timing as we experience it, is "each in his own order." That is the true and correct...

If you are so convinced, reconcile this: "But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming." 1Cor 15:23

You have not reconciled all. Emotional...I understand. You too shall see.

The "like manner" is not the like manner of the flesh, but the like manner of the Spirit of God in which was their witness of Him going to the Father. It is the manner of the Father whom is spirit in which He comes. That is also how every eye shall see, as all are raised up, some to everlasting...

You have heard nothing. Go and buy oil.

Since you have made it perfectly clear that the world is your reality, you are not qualified to say such a thing. You have no authority. Even so, I have offered you oil for your lamp, but you would have none.

That just makes it worse. The words are Spirit and even confused by God, holding mysteries in parables (like marriage), until revealed...and you dismiss it all as occult. So sad for you. :(

It's too late for denial. I have quoted it all.

Then you have not perceived God's creation by image.

If your definition of "literal" is as it is in this world, it is no wonder you have responded with exception. But, no, it's not my "thesis", but God's word that identifies Satan as the prince of darkness, and he who rules the shadows. But, hey, never mind.

I have answered you many times on many threads. But your accusations, and not receiving my answer of reconciling all scripture, is very telling.

God has spoken and created in parables and images: Man in His own image. The waters above and below. Marriage. Kane and Abel. The ark. A coat of many colors. Parting the Red Sea. The bread of life. Crossing the Jordan. The promised land. David and Goliath. The captivity. Israel assembled as...
