You are contradicting yourself and the scriptures. You say the kingdom of God is within you, as if to say within a flesh body; and that Christ in you will be an Ark, as if Christ had not ascended to the Father, and as if the flesh is not consumed with fire, even though you also said it would...

This is the verse that tells all. Notice Paul makes a distinction between the mind of God--this is a reference to Isaiah 40:13. Then he refers "but" to the mind of Christ. It is a statement that indicates that they were not speaking against the scriptures having the full knowledge of the Father...

If you close the case, you close it for yourself. All of what you are referring to is according to "the first resurrection" of the flesh and those who are alive and remain in the world. But the kingdom is not of this world, and you have not factored in the ascension to the Father, where no...

No...as I said, you are taking license that was not given in the way you describe. There is no hierarchy as you describe it. 1 Peter 4:10 "As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God." "Double honor" is rather for all who "preside...

No need to argue. Indeed, Jesus' resurrected body was flesh and blood and bone...which is also "the first resurrection" of "those who are alive and remain." But that is not the second resurrection which example was Christ's ascension unto the Father.

You are still assuming that body and change is of the likeness of men and of flesh, blood, and bone. But that change is rather to the likeness of God, whom is spirit. Indeed, we are created in His image, but that does not include the imperfect elements of the world, but rather of God whom is...

That "it" body, is the body of Christ,"the word become flesh." But you are mixing up or confusing "flesh" with "body." "There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body." And the flesh body is "not that body that shall be raised up." "Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God."...

No, that is not what I am saying. What you have described is a matter of interpretation of what is written. But that interpretation is against other scriptures (which I listed). "Flesh and blood" which "cannot inherit the kingdom of God", is not "spiritual bodies". But rather, flesh is flesh...

The doublespeak is you parading the authority given to priests as if no one else had any, and using every scripture about authority of all "the church" also to support a hierarchy that does not exist. But biblically speaking, that is not "doublespeak", it's "hypocrisy", the "woe" given to...

So...it's "hogwash" when I say priests are servants, but gospel when you say it. Yeah, that's the problem right there--hypocrisy in sheep's (servants) clothing. Thanks for showing the egg on your face! Nonetheless, God giving spiritual gifts and assigning all to service, is of no dispute. It...

These speak of us sharing in our flesh the suffering of Christ as He did in the flesh: "to live is Christ." But there is a glory manifest in the flesh in Christ, and yet it is not the glory of the Father who is not flesh but spirit only. This is the glory of the ascended Son of God now that He...

That is a complete misrepresentation of James. James did not "differentiate" in the way that you describe, but he described the scope and power of prayer, not just given to "ministerial" priests, but rather what is available to the "natural man." If anything, James refers to "the elders of the...

On the contrary, for the most part it is what you are saying that is the teachings of men. And where Christ has specifically made some priests by spiritual gifts, He has also made all who are born of the spirit of God kings and priests: Revelation 1:4-6 "Grace to you and peace from Him who is...

Okay. First, "Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God": 1 Corinthians 15:35-50 "But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?” 36 Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. 37 And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall...

Very good...but you should not have added "bodily restoration" and "full regeneration of spirit and body." That is, unless you do not actually men [flesh] body. Then it is perfect. For the flesh returns to the dust and is destroyed with fervent heat and with fire.

They are the seven churches: Revelation 1:20 "The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches." Revelation 4:5 "And from the...

Don't assume that definition to be true Helen. I was not there when some began to revere Peter rather than the Rock of ages, nor was I there when many protested their error and broke away and began to revere what Christ had actually identified as the Spirit upon which He would build His church...

Indeed, such is the nature of manifestations and revelation. But we are also to press on, to follow, and to escape the trappings of time by the means which Christ has provided. Pressing on reveals that the cross is the mid-point of time, but more importantly the apex to which all things unfold...

It is indeed a perplexing logic, but time must be removed from any and all matters of God, for He is infinite. In doing so regarding names being removed from the book of life, it is only God who can put in and take out in the twinkling of an eye the things of many lifetimes. Written there are...

I do see it, but was hoping to walk out just what it is that you have put your finger on. You see, if events are not the subject of foreknowledge and yet people are, then it is because we share a timelessness with God (the same yesterday, today, and forever). But also by that same realization...
