I get it that when talking to children about mature subjects, all parents, even God, makes adjustments to bring things to their level...and sometimes even fairy tales. But the news of Santa Claus not being real is different than the linage of God's chosen, including the first Adam being a...

It was "you" who made "your" original OP post assertions, so "I" directed it to "you" in my "reply." Apparently "you" can dish it out but can't take it. No wonder you disagree. And here "you" are dishing it out again in a "personal" rely. Why then did you even post "your" comments--why are...

Matthew 23:19 "Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift?"

I would not say that I am perfect...but I will speak the words as they were spoken. I am convinced that anyone who is chosen of God is indeed special.

...I was quoting Jesus. (Editing out the "fool" part)

Interesting...the responses. There is no truth in the scriptures for those who hear but do not understand, and see but do not perceive. Speculations by the learned are of little value, sometimes even hindering. One only knows the truth by the Spirit of Truth, which is given, not learned, and...

Like I said, "Speak for yourself." I am in the world, but I am not of the world. The kingdom is in me. And I know it.

You have it backwards. It is not God, but man who is in a box...and you who seem to prefer it that way. I prefer to be out of any such box as God is, and as He has intended even for us. This is the kingdom of God which came upon men 2000 years ago, when He came to set the captives free. But...

Speak for yourself. Those who are on a journey have not reached their destination.

Amen!

The problem with timeline interpretations about matters of God, is He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. No timeline. See the problem here?

The journey is being born in the flesh, which is over once a person is [actually] born again of the spirit of God.

Yes, many seem to stop and make a career (abide) somewhere between seeking God after being drawn by Him, and spiritual rebirth. And this they seem to do, believing that conversion is salvation itself, rather than simply the promise of salvation. For some reason many see Christianity as a journey...

I believe you...and I don't really want to question your place in God's work in your life. It is wonderful whatever that is.

That's awesome -- thank you! (taking a bow)

Just stating the obvious. Obviously that bothers you.

You speak of something conditional, like trust that needs to be earned. That is not the born again experience. One is not born again unless they are first dead to their former self; and being dead, there is no one left of that person to learn trust--they have gone. Newness of life by spiritual...

Beside Jn 3:36 not saying that at all... I guess you have never known anyone who was actually saved by the work of Christ--because it comes with all that, everything He said, everything you listed and more. If you actually knew anyone who was saved you would know this, because they would have...

Do you mind me asking...? I mean, personally, I was struck dead on the spot and given new life that very moment I came into His presence and in the knowledge of Him. It was finished. So, when I hear this kind of comment -- I find it bizarre. What did you experience? Perhaps you can help us...

No, that's actually backwards. Works are what was before the foundation of the world manifest as the result of judgment. All are condemned already. From the beginning. But people who run with the ways of the world and its timeline only believe that what occurred in the twinkling of an eye...
