    Why the fall had to occur

    I did not say that, nor would I. What I have said, is that what you hear from me agrees with what is written. But what is written is in parable, and I have not continued in parable, but in the plain truth.

    Why the fall had to occur

    You lost me on the heresies. But the prayer of "on earth as it is in heaven", is not to recycle the old earth, but rather like it is true of the new temple not made of stone: It is completely new and different as flesh and spirit.

    Why the fall had to occur

    You claimed, and claim again now, that the earth will not pass away...and I showed you where scripture says you are wrong. But lets address the problem: Both the earth and the world do pass away, for the new heaven and new earth are "new." As for the new Jerusalem coming to earth, you are...

    Why the fall had to occur

    I see. To which I will say, it is not for me to speak in the same parable manner as the world is accustom to, although I do site them often and will even give my own. But rather, it is given to me to bring an end to the parables. Meaning I speak the plain truth, whether believed or not. As it...

    Why the fall had to occur

    As I said...it is a parable. In the parable the son did not leave the world, nor is that what is meant. But rather, the son left his Father who is in heaven, and when he returned (to heaven) there was a celebration. But the point is that when he left the Father...he was dead. And when he...

    Why the fall had to occur

    I do not deny change in the present. It is change in the future that cannot be done. If you want to call that changing the future, call it what you like. But if I elaborate to tell you the whole truth and that you cannot change the future, I am correct, and it is your definition of present and...

    Why the fall had to occur

    You have me all wrong. How many times have I told you that you misunderstand or are not listening? Now you surmise what is not true of me. On the contrary, all things are relevant. But all things are not real with God and only written, a mere image of the truth, whether good or evil, manifest...

    Why the fall had to occur

    It is a parable ("If you do not understand this parable, how will you understand all parables?"). But who can make a parable and include what is also what is real within what is imaginary? If "real" proof is your requirement, you are out of luck, as "all things come in parables." You...

    Why the fall had to occur

    I can and do face other scripture...none of which "contest' my pov, but it is rather the person who contests and pits one scripture against another without understanding. As for what is relevant, it the issue is unresolved in your mind, you are in no position to make that statement. And I will...

    Why the fall had to occur

    "God knows the end from the beginning" is the teachings of men, and just a less than accurate attempt of trying to explain the timelessness of God. But they were not telling the whole truth. But I tell you the whole truth, and you refer to them. lol

    Do you do this?

    I was not saying anything so complicated, but rather that "practices" are practice, and they are not the point, but are mere practices of what is, and what we should take away from that they instill. The "practice" of communion simply symbolizes that we must partake of Christ in the flesh by...

    Why the fall had to occur

    I refer you to bbyrd09 ...it was his point. My reply, is that the he was wrong according to the word of God..

    Why the fall had to occur

    If you mean as in returning to the world for all to see (or any to see), then it is you who do not know what John meant.

    Why the fall had to occur

    "Have you not read"...that "the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men", and "then comes the end?"

    Why the fall had to occur

    No, my posts are full of quotes of scripture, often times back to back, and sometimes only a quote. Other times I do not use quotation marks, and perhaps should say as Jesus did for the same reason, "Have you not read?" If you have not seen me quoting scripture...you should get that checked.

    Why the fall had to occur

    16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” 11 Then He said: “A certain man had two sons. 12 And the younger of...

    Why the fall had to occur

    Well, I have no need to know about gnosticism, because I know about God. On the contrary, if you want to know more about God, you would do well to learn what the word of God says about the proper "tense" of God, which I have learned to prioritize. It does not surprise me that people struggle and...

    Why the fall had to occur

    Your sincerity is hard to make out amidst your sarcasm and accusations. Whether I use the word "image" or "seen" vs. "unseen" which I just used, matters not. The point was made that the fall was to establish God's glory...with scriptural confirmation. But you rebutted the idea that God would...

    Why the fall had to occur

    Projection much? Do I have to correct you on everything? Apparently so. But, I digress. We have both said our piece...and God will bring the truth to light.

    Why the fall had to occur

    I have quoted you, and now you change your story...and it is obvious why. And for the record, you quoted "likeness" against my use of "image", as if they were not both the word of God and the scriptural proof of what I have been telling you. Then, you quoted "vision" also, as if it too were not...
