Hmmm... Now you are making things up, interpreting and seeing things the way you want to, and comparing men's complaining with the clear judgement and declaration from God. Job did repent, but had not sinned according to God.

You're not making this easy. I will have to assume that the "A" part is about bearing fruit then. Which I can do...but that is like talking about a details of quarter used to make an important phone call, instead of talking about the phone call. Okay, then. I did address the fruit. It is the...

That is true, we don't need to go anywhere...and in fact we have not, nor have the scriptures, been talking about a "place." Which, if you will think about the problem of understanding things trying to impose worldly terms upon Godly realities - this is a perfect example. And you have answered...

If you have a question you believe is unanswered, it is not that I have not answered, but rather that the answer did not compute. The only thing that I can recommend is that you try to expand your horizon to include what you may not yet have a grasp of. For instance, if you were to considered...

No, because the scriptures don't just establish that time is "passing away", the also establish the there is an "end." So your argument or reasoning is not valid. No, that describes things within the world, not how the world works within the context of God's eternity. In other words, you have to...

I understand, but relating one parable by considering another is only so good. It doesn't truly explain the "subject" of the parable, it just give an example that has nothing to do with the subject, but expresses the principle of the parable with a completely unrelated "object." In other words...

Jesus told us that it "has" come. But "we who are alive and remain" walk as one "who has one foot on the land, and one on the sea", meaning that we walk in both the physical and the spiritual realms.

That is pretty much the American way. But, that again is not what is currently going on or what is called for. Good people of God do not leave their families, nor their neighbors, to be victims of terrorism. And if there are really any Muslims condemning terrorism, they must be mute.

If you think the jury is in, you prove yourself to be biased. No one is entitled to anything but their God give rights and the pay they earn. This is not about charitable giving, but about people who "expect" others to pay their way. There are takers and there are givers. Givers don't stand in...

Sure. So many are so entrenched in the world and its terminology, that they end up taking worldly descriptions of God literally instead of suggesting a likeness at best. The truth is, God is not "like" a lot of the world and the things we can relate to, except that these otherwise evil examples...

No, Job did not rescind his comment on being cursed, but yielded to God in His greater long term knowledge and plans for him and for mankind. As it is written: “Cursed is the ground for your sake;"

You certainly can interpret it that way. But when you die...you will see that it is not the world that has passed away, but that prison within you called the world...where you have done...your time. That heaven and earth will surely pass. But it is also the ground you stand upon, and the new...

No, but "Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt."

But [you can] change your mind in real time! I explained that: This is your/our "hour of decision" spoken of in the scriptures, laid out in so-called real time. It's just that in the timeless reality that exists with God, which is not made up or "created" as an "image" for effect or revelation...

Thanks for explaining. I think this is just the typical debate dance we do though. :)

"I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all." This simply denotes the curse and the result of...

We were "cast out", "captives" in the "world" which is "passing away." Life is not in the world, but in God. But don't confuse the world with the new earth - the old earth and world are accursed, but the new earth is not...but then, it is not "here."

This is also true. I guess we can't help but feel for their loss...even if they don't. To say nothing of the challenge their argument brings to those of us who have more information and know better.

Yeah, yeah - I meant "re"formed. Although the act of "conforming" (coming under) does kinda work too.

This subject of temptation, whether it is from God or not, would pit James against Jesus...which is not true. James 1:13 Thus, the pope is not correct, but mistaken, not understanding the word in spirit. If understood correctly, Jesus did not mean that God is a tempter or the tempter, but...
