    And there's the problem. You don't "have no idea." If you did actually have an idea that things were a mess...you might have an idea how you might support the idea of someone to clean up that mess. If you did actually have an idea that things were brutally wicked and mean and hateful...you...

    Everything Has Its Time Ecclesiastes 3 "To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: 2 A to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted; 3 A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; 4 A time...

    That is not the job description. We didn't elect a swell pastor type for a lovely day in the neighborhood. We elected a pit bull, a fighter to do a dirty job. That's the current political climate. That's the job. By your description, sounds like he's perfect! But, hey, hang on to that job...

    Is our understanding of Gen 12:1 correct?

    Jesus referred not to the boundless inheritance of the kingdom, but rather to the foreshadowing. Meaning, the meek (the poor, the weak, the needy, the afflicted) shall inherit the foreshadowing. Which is to say they are accursed to reap the natural world, and blessed for the opportunity of...

    Has Jesus come in the spirit?

    You are quoting the whole passage...but apparently not reading or understanding it. It clearly warns against being carried away ("spoiled") by "the rudiments (elements) of the world." So, what is it about "There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body" and "you sow not that body that...

    Has Jesus come in the spirit?

    That is a testament of Jesus' coming in the flesh 2000 years ago -- not of His "returning again in the flesh" as you say. You are assuming (by "vain deceit after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ") what is not actually written.

    Has Jesus come in the spirit?

    Those who believe in Jesus Christ, believe He has come in the flesh. But if we also believe He rose from the dead and went to the Father, and has since come in the spirit...then He has returned, as promised.

    Difficult Important Biblical Texts

    Life in the world is life within "it is written." Manifest godly media.

    Difficult Important Biblical Texts

    It is not that time does not exist, but that it was "created." These are the words of God ("as it is written") made manifest. As such, time is not real as God is real, but is story time, real in God.

    Emphasis

    Every day has its evil. But we struggle with a limited perspective. We look at our own days as if with God things are not "the same yesterday, today, and forever" and, yes, it is an horrific sight. In God's reality though, we are simply experiencing the transition from eternity to time, and now...

    Emphasis

    Well, that's it...you're not seeing the justice of it. God is a god of justice, not just of love, but also of wrath. But, while I too prefer love, that is only part of what the world is all about. God didn't create the world then say, "Now, go a love one another", and it was so. There has been...

    Does “It Is Finished” Mean All of God’s Work Have Been Completed?

    It's probably not a good thing to criticize someone who quotes the prophets foretelling the future that has come true in a way that even science cannot deny.

    Does “It Is Finished” Mean All of God’s Work Have Been Completed?

    You're like a broken record, presume, presume, presume. I don't even know what a gnostic actually is. But, no...that was a quote from Einstein.

    Difficult Important Biblical Texts

    It is a hard and abstract reality to grasp. But rather than it being "the time between the cross and the resurrection", it is us experiencing time where there is no time, but rather what is "written", as God does--with Him, until the end.

    Does “It Is Finished” Mean All of God’s Work Have Been Completed?

    That is a good question, but then you went on to preach from your own understanding. Please allow me to help: As knowledge has been increased according to the foretold revelations of God that were to occur, the true meaning behind such a statement as "It is finished", is also the reason why...

    Has Jesus come in the spirit?

    That is exactly correct according to what Jesus said of how He would build His church. The "historic church" however, has a very poor track record. Just look at the 7 churches of revelation, 5 Jesus had "somewhat against."

    Has Jesus come in the spirit?

    Yes. :)

    Difficult Important Biblical Texts

    Thankfully, all who are "in Him" are lifted up "with Him" as well. Which makes "that day" 2000 years ago, except for those to whom He has not yet come.

    Difficult Important Biblical Texts

    The coup attempt by Satan is violent spiritual war against God. Which "heaven suffered until now"...that is until Christ.

    Difficult Important Biblical Texts

    If we have the mind of Christ...we do not "interpret", but simply say or explain. Do you not see that the entire prayer is just a summary of all God's business start to finish? I do.
