Paul and the generation of Christ were on the cusp of the promises of God and Christ coming to fruition, in whom "It is finished." The apostles are in fact the best and the worst examples. Thus Paul and the other apostles wrote as if they were not born of the spirit, and also as if they were...

Well it is good of you to make that clear, because my first post was a direct rely to your first post...not just 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, but all of it. As for that one part, and after looking up the meaning of "exegesis"...here is my "critical explanation or interpretation of the scripture"...

Good God let's hope so! God is spirit, and if we are not for Him and have a desire to become One with Him, we are against Him. But you are under the wrong impression. The rapture, in other words the resurrection...is the first "literal" experience of mankind! That is, it is man's moment of...

Indeed...and this is the company that agrees with you. Enjoy!

If I actually had an agenda (I don't), it would be that after crying out to God, He answered and I was caught up and given the truth in spirit, a truth that was freely given and now I freely give. But you like those who killed those who have been sent from God, whom Christ rebuked, still fire...

You make a case for the teachings of men, for looking to the flesh, instead of looking up as you were informed, fulfilling many prophecies: Isaiah 30 So be it.

Yes, complete foolishness. 1 Corinthians 1:18 I wonder if Nicodemus was too tired when He first heard about being born again of the spirit of God.

First of all...you are saying it wrong. God is literal, and all the world is merely "created." As for every bit of things being physical (rather than literal...which is a contradiction in terms), that is a sad witness that after God has made everything manifest as a foreshadowing of things to...

The new heavens and new earth are more and higher and perfect, just as God is perfect...which, yes, means spiritual. Which eye has not seen...but would certainly be all that we would consider good and more.

The scriptures tell us that the earth and all the elements are dissolved with fervent heat. And yet, it is also written that the earth is forever...for there are new heavens and new earth.

Jesus explained it as a need to be born of water and also the spirit, and it is written, first the natural then the spirit. But what is sown is not that which is raised up.

Indeed..."created in His image" is interpreted "in His likeness." But it is a mistake to think that it means "not an image" but rather some worldly definition of "physical, therefore literal." But here daily, people who call themselves Christian insist that what God has "created" is not an...

No. You can't even say it right... There is nothing "literal" about what is plain and carnal. God is literal. And the scriptures, they "must be discerned spiritually." "Plain, literal"--what a joke! You give the demons cause to laugh at you. As for Luke 24:39, God spoke the whole world into...

No. "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, all are changed", "old things have passed away, all things have been made new." This is the return of Christ.

You (and most of Christendom) are mixing what is made manifest with what those things represent in heavenly places. It is not what is made manifest that is literal--those are "created" things. On the contrary, it is those things of God in the heavenly, spiritual realm that are literal. This is...

So it's just a tickle my ears discussion. Fine. If you want to leave God and everything spiritual out of your discussion, I will indeed butt out. But if you think there is anything unspiritual to discuss on Matthew 25:31-46...you are dead wrong. Which is not off topic to say so...but very much...

So your subject is the pot, but not the Potter? Pardon me, I thought this was a "Bible Study Forum."

True, you call them true. Not because they "Make God and Christ liars", but because their interpretation is true according to the Spirit. On the contrary, you should be asking why God whom is spirit would "lower" Himself again, when "It is finished?" (Rhetorical) He would not, and will not...

There is no other correct interpretation, anything else a mere examination of the objects of the spiritual subjects made manifest...the flesh responding to itself, rather than to God whom is spirit. The words are spirit. Spiritualization = godlyness (God is spirit). Why would you refuse it...

HIH, don't speculate as you have. You have it wrong, wrong in the way men of flesh think. His return in glory is in spirit, this is the glory of the Father: God is spirit. He sits on His throne already, and has since He went to the Father. His return began "quickly" two thousand years ago...
