There's that extra mile in action again bro! :) Good post.

May I point out that heaven and hell are not related as comparisons. It is "heaven and earth" not heaven and hell. This is the proper distinctive. "On earth as it is in heaven"... As for judgments...hell, as in the lake of fire...is only one place of eternal judgment. There is much more to...

Of course...but the theme is ever present...some will have increase and others will have loss. That's a kingdom thing. How does one lose everything? In the judgment of fire. Mark 9:49 “For everyone will be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt."

Great post! Actually...how much of modern Christianity is just to sort out the good from the evil?...from the same dead tree. Religion does this. But true Christianity is to abandon both good and evil...to enter into life. The Pharisees saw others doing evil and judged them. But the good...

And the final word goes to Jesus...of course! :) Concerning the parable of the sower... Luke 8:18 Take care then how you hear, for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away.” ...yet he will be saved as by fire...

Same here We call it "doing an Ishmeal." ;)

Here is another clue... 2 Pet. 3:16 "He (Paul) writes this way in all his letters, speaking in them about such matters. Some parts of his letters are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction." Here ignorant...

I appreciate your patience! :) But it goes more like this..... Paul says... I planted (He wrote the epistles we read) Apollos watered (Imagine him reading to us and explaining what Paul meant)...but it is God that gives the increase... So then...Now be careful what you do with what Paul...

Amen. Good analogy with the ark. It is exactly like that. Although Jesus is in heaven we can...as you say...by the Spirit be there because of Him. He is the ark of our lives. We do have Christ in us...as a seed waiting for us to die...be separated from our natural power...so that His life...

When you go to a department store there is a section where perfumes are sold (colognes if you're a man). There is a free trial bottle or swab where you can get a first tryout of the product. It is free. But if you want to own a bottle you have to dish out the money for it. The idea is that you...

Exactly related! :) Abide in Me and I in you.

There is a difference between a little boy being into airplanes...like he really digs them...and a person entering into an airplane to fly somewhere.

Sure. Getting back to the OP, we see the direction to go the extra mile as an encouragement to wisdom. Digging deeper. Is it any wonder in this fast food, instant gratification society we live in...that people get the bible wrong? People get half-baked because of impatience. People like their...

But we can still understand the idea. How many expressions when translated directly...have no meaning to us? In English when we can't speak properly we say... "I have a frog in my throat." If you translate that in a religious book...without understanding the term..you are going to have a...

I believe the bible to be the words from God. They are inspired by the Holy Ghost. But translations from the original languages are sometimes lacking in the original intent of the words...in order to try making sense to what they thought it meant. So we have to factor in that problem. Another...

I know some OP's have a rather dubious agenda filled with a lot of wanky ideas. To some, this might seem like such a post. But this is an important topic when you consider that the bible is written in a way that is unlike any other book. The bible is unique. As such we must compare the words...

Sometimes these posts...with the wanky ideas ...should not be called posts...but maybe "hot air". Just a sayin'

The church is visible...but the kingdom of God is not. Luke 17: 20 Some Pharisees asked Jesus when God's kingdom would come. He answered, "God's kingdom isn't something you can see.

"JesusIsFaithful, post: 433204, member: 6711"] Putting on Christ is hardly going to run against NOT preaching another Jesus as in another Holy Spirit to receive in scripture and so putting on Christ cannot mean what you say it means. Putting on Christ is something we enter into..not that...

A different language uses different rules. Hebrew has no indicator for singular like in English...using the letter "a" to denote there is "a" something or other. For example... In Hebrew "I see a man" is just "I see man" (ani roeh ish) So then it is better to say..."In beginning" or to begin...
