Nice try, but it is from that narrow path which I call out. But you have hear none of it. Will you also tell me that a vision is not an image, and seal your testimony for that which is seen against what is unseen?

Hmmm...there is no reasoning with you I see. If a vision is not an image, then I would be contradicting the prophet, but no, I have said they are the same, and it is you who say they are different. It is you who contradicts the prophet and in the same breath accuse me. Hearing you will hear and...

Again, you are not even listening to yourself. A "vision"...is an "image" also, a manifestation. But I do not think I am anything, but I know just as Ezekiel knew...by the same spirit. I quoted John, because he referred to the spirit by which I am witnessing to you also.

You have passed over the word "image" and refer only to "likeness", which is only an adjective of "image." By that definition, you must take away from the word of God. So, take your pick: Outline of Biblical Usage image images (of tumours, mice, heathen gods) image, likeness (of...

I would have to look up what Gnosticism is - so it's not that. If God says He created us in His image, does that not tell you we are a mere image, that in order to actually be "living" we must be born of His spirit? Can an "image" therefore, be alive? No. What then, has God thrown off a cliff -...

No. You apparently don't even hear yourself saying we are bear the image of God. But what is an image - the real thing, or just an image? God, has given the answer. Why do you not believe Him?

This is a good point, and one to be understood about the creation. God did not throw His children off a cliff (in reality), but only His "image" of them.

Your answer is good, but it need not be so wordy. The simpler answer, is that the fall occurred to establish God's glory: No fall, no glory. Isaiah 66:18 “For I know their works and their thoughts. It shall be that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come and see My glory.

No. Just as Jesus asked, "If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?”, I will likewise ask you: When John said, "Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God", how did he mean that "Christ has come in the flesh?" Bear with me, this is not a test, but...

Not sure what you mean. I was quoting scripture. It is appointed once to die for all. The difference is that in Christ, He embodies both those of the old covenant who died in the flesh, and also those who receive life by the spirit of God while in the body (which dies according to the old...

No, it doesn't work that way. God and the kingdom are timeless, so whenever one dies they go to eternity, which is the same before and after Christ. There is a before and after that God has made known, but it is not about where one is going or when. But rather, the distinction is between "the...

All of that...and you have missed it [completely].

I marvel at the immense amount of study and data of some and their ability to draw so much worldly application out of the scriptures and the fact that they dedicate their whole live to it, without actually seeking God first, and without understanding what it is they are talking about, as if it...

The ambiguity in the scriptures is by design. As it is written, "I have placed before you life and death, therefore, choose life." But many, because they did not love the truth, have chosen to believe a lie, and many who call Christ Lord do not even know Him. These are those who spread the lies...

The "new" creation or creature, is not a "new identity", but rather a creature born anew. This theme is consistent with the new heaven and new earth (the old being destroyed by fire), the new temple (not of stone), the new covenant (one following Adam and the fall, and the other following...

These are not things to do "to be saved." But like any other "practice", it is only "practice" for that which does save, which is belief in Jesus. Same answer. The "practice" was ingrained in order to carry the "message" of "belief" in Christ forward to coming generations. This sort of thing is...

Paul clarified the timing, as follows: 1 Corinthians 11:25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” ...But it is important to understand that the practice is not a magic...

You have answered your own question, with John 3:36. However, I would say the bigger issue for you is the sheer magnitude of "assumptions." This is due to the fork in the road that scripture presents and a general lack of faith - not yours, but theirs. But, that fork in the road? It's...

Wow, I though I knew my way around here - where do you find the "Current Events and Political" section? ................Never mind, I found it.

Hmmm... that sounds pretty serious. Where are you getting your information from that leads you to believe that is where it's at?
