But you have it backwards. Which is more "literal", the world or the kingdom? But here you assume that a return in terms of the world is what is literal...even when Christ has said, "the world sees me no more." And which is His glory, what is manifest in the world and in the flesh, or in the...

That is a compassionate notion, but even babes are born out of sin or of righteousness, and there is only One begotten of righteousness. All others are born of the linage of Adam, a sinner...making the father of them all, Satan. This Jesus even said of the leaders and priests of Israel.

How might you reassure your brethren without giving the complete details but reveal just enough to assure those of every future generation until the end? No doubt Paul could not have said it just right either...but then again, it would not have been him talking, but the Holy Spirit. And yet the...

You are speaking of something I said elsewhere, but yes. What I was just saying above, however, is that it is wrong to wait for "the falling away" that comes first before the return of the Lord - because "the falling away" began...with "the fall." And we are now living in the time of Christ's...

Yeah, even though we would like to consider children as being without sin, I think we have to go back to who and what we are children of, meaning of the fallen. Otherwise we go against “There is none righteous, no, not one;"

No, we all are born out of sin, i.e., "in Adam." All are born "in kind." In this case, that is "fallen." The scriptures are pretty clear: "All have fallen short." Do you have something on the age of accountability, from [before] youth, or such?

Romans 5:12 "Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—" God has not produced a world of sinners, but has cast them out of His presence into prison as captives, with a plan of salvation. And this, by His...

I don't want to come across as contrary, because what you say is true. However, I would like to address why it is true, and then add what is ultimately more true. The "process" which can indeed take a lifetime, is only a process with those who see it as such...and therein lies the problem. We...

That is the reality of all who are born of the linage of Adam...which is everyone.

Just so long as we do not begin to believe that the kingdom of heaven is not "within you."

That is not the falling a way. The falling away and the departure, is the separation from God, which is to be born in the flesh ("As a star falling from heaven."). For this very reason Jesus preached that men "must be born again of the spirit of God."

Jesus referred to the leaders in Israel as being "of their father the devil." So, now for you to argue that the son of perdition has not been revealed already, or that they are not the sons of Adam's sin...is simply not true. You should question your whole position.

No, "it" doesn't go on - you go on. I was concise, but not myself, that's not how this works, and your lengthy attempts at reasoning what you think is correct likewise failed the lawyers and scribes. You say "snippets", well, I will say pearls. And so I leave you to it as one who will not hear.

As long as sinners are born into the world, it is greatly against the righteousness of God - that is the "falling away" (of the fallen), of which Paul spoke. Again, the misunderstanding is that apostasy, A.K.A. sin, has not always been since the fall, and that one sin is greater than another...

There is a lot in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 that is misunderstood. Because of this, most assume it to be a prophecy of some future end times mass event...and it's not. Notice in verse 1 that he is speaking to them as "brethren", appealing as if to each one ("ye") individually. And he says "by the...

The gross error that has happened in all of Christendom, is not thinking that revelations are from God and not according to the world as most view and translate every revelation. While men lean on their own understanding not renewing their mind, God has revealed His mind which does not...

Genesis 6:11-13 is pretty clear, so I should think the only question here is how Genesis 8:22 might seem to be different, or even mean the opposite. But it does not, it is the same, and a confirmation - very typical of Hebrew literature. The message is repeated. Gen 8:22 While the earth H776...

More of the same, now lies to boot. Slander. Judging. Great. See you on the other side.

More misquoting me, making assumptions, yes, but no, and sneers. As you will then - carry on.

Classic projection. I reconciled all the verses. You did not, nor have you been honest about not being able to, but accuse me of the very things you are doing. I am going to look at the rest of your current comments...but, I a not going to continue if you are not willing.
