What Paul said was like Christ saying "It is finished." Paul also elaborates to say the he/we "were" crucified and raised up with Christ...that the "old man" is dead. In other words, the age of the law and of the flesh has passed.

The gig is up dude. You're not being honest. You're finished.

But not completely, not until the end. You gave God a fraction, and so shall it be measured back to you.

You are moving way too fast and missing things, important things. If you yourself were to make a bunch of sketches of your plans for a house then burn them and build your house, should God accuse you of doing "damage" as you now are accusing Him? You are walking on dangerous ground. Sounds...

No, you should put on a blindfold and give us all your great observations, so we can have a good laugh, or cry.

You should not just believe me. To be clear, I am not telling you what I "believe." I am telling you what I know. There are those who can only tell you what they believe...and with God they are more esteemed than I, but I am not one of them. I came unto the knowledge of God before I ever...

The problem here, is that you are grossly unaware of your surroundings and the circumstances. Things seem upside down, not because they are, but because you are. You are acting as if this death is life, and as if the promise of actual life doesn't even exist. If you took the same approach with...

No. You misunderstand. God is not using real people, He is catching dead people before their final exit, and offering to bring them back to life. The damage is already done. God did not do the damage, we did, and yet He is offering to save us from ourselves. As for the codifying, God said, "I...

That is all pretty good. However, you left out one of the most misunderstood passages regarding the timeline: "Every man in his own order." Which means there is no mass, future-only event, as many believe. 1 Corinthians 15:23

How was my answer "not internally consistent" and "circular." I only ask, because regardless of how you may see it, you are wrong and that is the problem - you are looking at it all wrong. So, if you want to get to the bottom of it, let's hear the details of your objection. You are not being...

Yes...but I was simply answering the Original Post question.

He is. By life, or by death. Says the toddler. Yes, of course it is gibberish to you, I didn't say Googoo even once. But Googoo is not the answer. I gave you an adult answer...and obviously you are not ready for it. More lack of Googoo. More adult language over your head. It keeps them alive...

You are referring to things in history. I'm not. Nor do I consider the things of history to be the "cause" of desolation, but rather the consequence.

I would say that all of creation and history are evidence. There is only one so-called religion that begins at the beginning and continues a common testimony from thousands of individuals who lived at different times not knowing each other but giving a similar witness, all through history...

They say there is no evidence. They say that many religions all claim something different, so why should they believe one over the other? They say Christians all disagree about the facts, so without a consensus there is nothing to believe.

Matthew 23:19 "Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift?" ...Which is greater, the examples of abomination against God in the word and in the world, or the actual abomination that caused the world to be driven out from the presence of God?

I will try to explain, but remember, I warned you that this is complex beyond what is considered human. In these matter you are like a toddler expecting to take the wheel of a jet. And the appropriate answer is rightly "Ask your father", or "Wait until you are older." Or worse, you're 35 and...

Bla bla bla..

Has humanity in general not learned that slavery is bad? (Rhetorical) Indeed, we have. But some prefer it. Not more explanation...more learning. A history and a lifetime of explanation and experience is plenty. But not learning what it was for...is negligence. It's not "a God instituted slave...

Then you should learn the scriptures. Because for those who are born of the spirit of God, whom Christ sends, "to live is Christ." And you will not see Him "until you say, "Blessed he who comes in the name of the Lord." Even so, your idea of contradictions is the same as the leaders of Israel...
