    Must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

    It is a matter of positioning. When Jesus said "Follow Me", "Take up your cross", and when Paul said, "walk in the Spirit"...these are directives, to leave the cares of this world and the flesh behind ("Get behind me Satan!") How this is done, is to "seek first the kingdom of God and His...

    What happens when we die?

    Yes, the problem with bigotry is that it relies on opinion, then assumes it matters.

    What happens when we die?

    You rattle on because your premise is grossly in error. Nonetheless: God is not the god of the dead but of the living. That which is born of the flesh is flesh (and returns to dust), and that which is born of the spirit is spirit (and returns to God who gave it). There is both. All of which is...

    I am pondering . . . why . . .

    Surely, this passages covers all three: Luke 10:18 "And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven."

    I am pondering . . . why . . .

    Yeah, the Spirit is just too much for some people, can't even image.

    I am pondering . . . why . . .

    Here are the three heavens, which are spirit: 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. 1 John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree...

    I am pondering . . . why . . .

    I was explaining the reason for new heavens...which is because the problem with the old heaven, is that evil had occurred there (which then was made manifest in the earth).

    I am pondering . . . why . . .

    All that is manifest in the earth, is only a "created" "image" of what has occurred in heaven in God. It is all a revelation from God, of what occurred in God before the foundation of the world. Thus, as Jesus prayed "on earth as it is in heaven", what is revealed, is a cleansing within God...

    Why God hides.

    Well that certainly is the intention. However, there is more to it: God also sent His Son into the depths of evil; and He intern sends us "as lambs among wolves", and says, "Follow Me." So, the challenge is to know that even though our "Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil...

    Ecclesiastes 1: Is it all vanity?

    It is a great revelation to know that the claim or announcement that "all is vanity" (meaning, all is emptiness or nothing), is quite literal--it simply confirms that this world was "created" out of a "void" (out of nothing) and therefore in and of itself, it is nothing; that even we are a mere...

    True Human Being?

    It is like a parent who feels their child's joy, pain, etc.. It's like a spouse who finds themselves saying "we" rather than "I." It's like not having an opinion. It's like a sane person who talks out loud as if to no one there. It's like always having hope, love, peace, and joy. It's like never...

    True Human Being?

    A similar thing occurs in language, where in broken pigeon "talk-talk", simply means "talk." Likewise, "hu" means "God", and in the end of understanding (that God is represented as male, as the man in a male/female marriage), so does "man" also mean "God." In other words, "human" means...

    I Have No Idea Where To Put This Thread

    Repetition is by design, our teacher...If I've told you once I've told you a thousand times ;). Good of you to notice the redundancy.

    I Have No Idea Where To Put This Thread

    Ha!...you are drowning in the Spirit! Fear not. But you will need to learn to walk in two worlds, to snorkel so to speak, to walk like Einstein. Breathe. All is well.

    Is Killing an Image in a Computer Game a Sin? What about Computer Game Infidelity?

    This is the answer that should be given to those who ask, "If God is good, why all the death and suffering?" And so shall it be engraved and displayed in the courts of God forever!

    Is Killing an Image in a Computer Game a Sin? What about Computer Game Infidelity?

    As God's creations, we are not unlike those things digitally created "in our image", but very much the same. If one can receive it, there is no real difference, but rather makes for a great example. In that light then, answering your question, it is important to note that God's own created...

    Revelation 11-the measure of the temple

    How then is Jesus the "Last" of the Jews/Israel, last under the Abrahamic Covenant, if it was not "finished" with that generation to whom He spoke? (Rhetorical) But indeed, "It is finished." Which means that He was indeed the Last, indeed it is finished, and indeed all the promises to Israel...
