Most so called Christians will smile and nod their head and cheer on talk of the Spirit, then tear the very idea down at every turn lifting up the flesh and the world. And if the point is pressed, the fangs and the fiery darts come out, and the name-calling begins. "Heretic" is their favorite...

I would describe the God-verses-man perspective in this way: (No private interpretation, just the biblical facts.) The nature and perspective of men and that of the world is a "created" one, one that progresses in word and explanation, but not in the reality of God, for God is not created. The...

Life (God) presents us with all kinds of questions--your's is a good one: "When do you stop studying?" Asking that of God will get you the best answer, the best direction, and insight. Each time we are in that situation things could be different: A time to dive in, a time to withdraw, a time to...

That is a fine way to understand the pages or chapters of a book as one reads but does not know what will unfold in the coming pages. But God being the same yesterday, today, and forever, has not written the book of our lives in a place of chronology. No, the book has its on chronology within...

That was just Jesus saying, "Follow me--we win!" Ask people in trouble, "Would you like to hear that everything is going to be okay? 'Cause there is just one way that that happens. Would you like to know how?"

Trying to "resolve what you believe" is probably not a good idea. Just ask.

Indeed, this time is a gift. Not that it is the time we perceive it to be, for it was before the foundation of the world in the twinkling of an eye, finished; and yet broken down in our experience like light through a prism, that we can even change in the midst by our own will...as if it were...

That perspective comes from misunderstanding what it is this world actually is. It is not the chronological historic universe that it would appear to be--it is a mere "creation" or "image"--not of what will be, but rather of what was before the foundation (creation) of the world (image), and...

That is not an accurate depiction of what we are talking about. God has been very clear from the beginning that mankind was "created" and is a mere "image" in the eyes of God. In terms that we can relate to, that would be like one of us making some sketches or taking some photographs, and then...

Well...God is all-knowing, so yes. But to elaborate: God is "the same yesterday, today, and forever"...meaning when and if He ever knows anything, He always did. Which brings us to the point of confusion. Man sees yesterday, today, and waits to see tomorrow. But when He is born of God, he...

I only pointed to some of your lying, there was more. There is a written record here for all to see, a witness against you at your own hand. Now you threaten me also.

Your actions are not the actions of one at peace with God. And if you still expect the Lord to come, He obviously has not come to you already. In which case you have no reason to be as bold as you are, but should rather be humble and tremble. This is what is written.

I am not sure I understand just what it is that you are saying that I have "propositioned." I would put it in this way: Physical resurrection was only a foreshadowing (even with Christ), and the actual resurrection unto God is rather portrayed in His ascension, wherein His physical body...

Indeed, and more so in the church where it is only Christ who is to speak of all of His ways and that of the Father, rather than men (or women) and their ways. We are also to raise up children in His way, not our own. We are His and He is ours. So now we have come to know stepfathers, some as...

That is correct. And this is the [actual] portrayal of the marriage of Christ and His bride the church...and those also who wait for Him, whom He never knew.

Jesus announced that He would build His church by the same means by which Peter came to know that He was the Christ, which was not by flesh and blood, by the spirit of His Father. That spiritual building came to fruition at Pentecost, the outpouring of the spirit of God upon all flesh, foretold...

Any man called to be the head or leader of a congregation may take the confession of a married women, just as any follower of Christ may take the confession of a married or unmarried man or women, without exclusivity. To live is Christ, for all who are in Him.

That is true, but the word has two meanings: 1) Paul was simply addressing the need for restoring order in the church during those immediate times. 2) But, in the greater plan of God and why such a word would become the eternal word of God...it was a word from the Spirit through which Paul...

Good of you to confess that "that day" has not come for you, but not good of you to say " ‘My master is delaying his coming.’" Surely you have read of these things. "That day" "today" comes to "each in his own order." Indeed, the dead "will" yet face judgement, but those who "have passed from...
