I have been called a Gnostic, an over-spiritualizer (as if that very essence of God were evil), and told I was full of hot air, in as little as the last 24 hrs, just for filling in missing scriptures pertaining to the discuss, because my rationale was the Spirit and all truth. But I am just one...

Different rule. Different subject. But thank you--it is a good reminder.

We kinda have a Potter or clay issue here. I understand that the words of scripture are Spirit, I too have said so. But that is not the problem. The problem is when men take it from there. All I am saying is that we have the promise of all truth directly from the Spirit, and the opportunity (if...

:) I love the way you think! Nonetheless, all that God has created is only perfect as God is perfect, which is spirit. Meaning that the garden of His creation, is not as we see the world in all its form, but spiritual also. For the elements of this world are destine to be dissolved with fervent...

Ah, No, quenching the Spirit, is being told to expect that all truth is coming via the Spirit, and then not being open to it with anticipation. That same behavior killed the prophets of old. But here we are seeing the daggers come out again. :(

No, that is wrong. The scriptures themselves say that the scriptures need to be discerned spiritually. No...the Spirit has the correct interpretation. But, yes, I can tell you it by the same Spirit. And when I do that which is exactly according to scripture, you default to name calling. :( You...

I was not posing an argument, but filling in the details, that you might see more clearly and come to question the partial information that you are looking at as incomplete. Nonetheless, if you want to believe that Jesus' body is not One with Him (God), not biblical, that is your choice.

No, the scriptures are just a vehicle of the Spirit...that has been confused. And Jesus didn't say he would send us more scriptures--they came as only part of the vehicle of the Spirit, the Helper. But He is not limited to writings. According to John, the world could not contain "all truth."...

John 17:21-23 "21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they...

God "is perfect" and He "is spirit." He is the measure of what is too spiritual--not you. Do you not get that? Do you hear yourself? In one sentence you compliment me and also put God down. Wow! Amazing! As for the rest of what you said...ya, you're off by more than a little there too. We...

First of all, yes, you've missed the point. I never said anything should be non-biblical. On the contrary, I said just the opposite. I said the scriptures should be a means of confirmation. And I am not talking (trying to sell) "my own way." I am pointing out the elephant in the room regarding...

:) And that's not a problem. The problem is thinking that they trump the Holy Spirit, or prove a line of thinking that one bit of scripture seems to support, but can be countered with another scripture that seems to say the opposite. See what I mean?

Everything I said about us being One with God was a quote from scripture. If you believe that the Son and the Father are One, then it should not be so difficult to follow that Him in us and us in Him and Him in the Father is just as He describes it...as One. But, it is also not even reasonable...

That's the problem. Text can and is twisted. God did that. And the only means we have of untwisting it, God also did. He gave us the Holy Spirit, and told us the words must be discerned spiritually. Then the scriptures don't have that problem. Only then are they not twisted.

I hear you, but there is more to it, more to consider and factor in. First, what you have described comes from the confusion of the use of the word "resurrection" for Christ rising from the dead--which He did do. But that is the nature of language confused by God, and it is only by the rest of...

Fair enough...even though that is not at all what it says, and your quoted so-called proof text was out of context. Nonetheless, unless you mean to condemn the whole world, you are never going to be able to prove your point. But, by all means, do tell us where in the Bible that it says that...

:( Doesn't sound like you read or heard anything of the original post. But it's because you are confusing Jesus' fleshly resurrection proving He had overcome the world and had conquered death, with His ascension back to the Father. For this very reason, before His ascension He even told Mary...

This is true! Amen

You will have to do better than Ecclesiastes 1:15, for it only pertains to what a man (Solomon) can do in this world, but not what God can do. But you are somewhat correct, Solomon is not the son of David that has overcome the world. But obviously you missed where I said that even all the world...

No, I am not assuming. I did not "hear", but called out to God by name and was caught up in the Spirit above the earth into His presents. I might have questioned who it was that answered, but who is able to make God deaf and take His place? If I have assumed anything, I have assumed that no one...
