    Blood washed question

    I agree. Many people who come to know God begin to speak in the language of what they have learned, without considering that they are not understood...and as you say, even creepy. For example: there was a time when I understood more and preferred the old English thy and thou language of the King...

    Paul and Faith Alone…

    The death and resurrection of Christ was not a "sideshow", but the salvation of Israel, for whom He came. As for head and heart: "those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart."

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    I am not invoking, it is the word of God. Nor have I denied or removing anything, but explained everything. Time has an explanation, and so does timelessness. But "today" eludes to the greater truth of God - that "scriptural path." Yet it is no longer a mystery. If you can receive it, you can...

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    Then you have missed #10 and "today", which removes every other day and time from the whole matter. Does this not speak to you? This I have not just said, but have said it all along.

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    Every word I have told you is scripture put to plain language. I have even quoted and italicized the obvious quotes. I have also explained that there is little precedence for what I am telling you and explained that this is the time foretold of the sounding of the seventh angel. Me you have...

    Why did God need to give us free will, or did He need to? Do we really have it?

    I understand the difficulty. But the scriptures, Christ, and the apostles all dispel the myth of time, saying, "today" in many forms. And those forms do not include "properties" so much as they establish the true nature of manifestation of what is more properly called an "image."

    Paul and Faith Alone…

    The gospel is Christ. But we should take care not to mix or confuse what Christ did not Himself mix. He first came for the house of Israel, meaning that was one form of attaining salvation, which was through His blood...meaning the sacrifice of His flesh. Therefore, all that was written of or...

    Why did God need to give us free will, or did He need to? Do we really have it?

    If the measure of these things was the world, that would be true. But it is not, but rather God, whom is timeless, is the measure of things. Which means the time that you speak of is merely a story line within the timeless eternity of God.

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    If the light has not come on, it doesn't mean I have not been explaining or giving the answer. Let me try something different: Put yourself in a context where time does not exist. Then make a decision using freewill about where you want to spend the rest of eternity. Then write it all down in a...

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    Works is simply fruit showing who we are. The flesh profits nothing. But your perception is perhaps accurate, Christ is Christ in the world, but in heaven the Son and God. As time passes, this will be more the case.

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    John 17:11 Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are. If I have told you in plain language, it is not that it is not the same word...because it is.

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    No. As I just said, you can indeed change your mind...that is what this time is for. But we are speaking of the truth, and that is the smaller portion. We have also been talking about God, whose truth is not limited to this world...and we do so with the aspiration that we should be more like Him...

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    The advantage is to know God, to see Him as He is, and to be like Him. This is what is written.

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    No, you can change your mind - this is your hour of decision. But, if you change your mind in this would-be real time, it is only because you did so before the foundation of the world...and that is how it plays out.

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    I have explained just how time can be timeless. But if you cannot hear it from me, hear it from God, whom is timeless. Make the analogy work.

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    No...I am saying it is both: It is both timeless, because history is His story. Also, that this is that timeless account revealed in the story time of what was timelessly written. But, you being in the middle of that narrative, cannot cancel out God's timelessness, just because that is your only...

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    The definition is defined by God. What does He say of Himself? "I am."

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    If we prolong the day, we do so, because we do not see. But if I see, and do not give witness, I have not seen. But one who has not seen, does not know what is true, except by the spirit of God.

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    When John said, "Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is", it had not yet been revealed. But now it has! Which I have revealed to you, yes, by the authority...

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    No, I do not abandon it, but rather explain it from each perspective. But how shall I explain that time is timeless, unless I say that it is written timelessly, but read in time? He/we cannot change anything after the fact. That is the difficulty of understanding that freewill is not so much...
