    Perfection

    This is what is meant by being born again of the spirit of God (whom is spirit and perfect). He must increase, and we must decrease.

    "I am come to send fire on the earth" ?

    Indeed, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and with holy fire, which is the judgement.

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    Time demon-strates sin. Eternity comes when time has served its purpose.

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    Don't misunderstand. I am not giving Einstein credit for anything but being on the right track of discovery. As it is, science has not pressed on with his findings to any eye-opening revelations. So, just as Jesus laid out a timeless and spiritual kingdom for those who would enter in "today"...

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    His strength is made perfect in weakness. Our imperfection prolongs the times until the times of the gentiles are fulfilled. It is a perfect plan.

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    No, but you have not seen the end of the reaping, which is in heaven. But you miss the point: We cannot rewrite what is already written. Which is not to say that we do not write it - but rather that we do not re-write it, meaning that life as we experience it is the unfolding of what "was" as we...

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    Yes, you misunderstand. I am not denying an active roll. On the contrary, we all play our part as appointed by God. And if you can grasp the abstract idea that what we now experience "was" before the foundation of the world...then we could go on to speak of what "was" "before", but now "is"...

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    There is nothing static or sterile about God's word or His manifestations, yet He has clearly indicated that we are ourselves just now experiencing, "was" "before the foundation of the world." Why do you not believe it, as if your understanding and being last to know, is the greater truth? Who...

    Why do we hear a different message from neighbor?

    God is not the author of confusion...however, He is the author of confounded language (at the tower of Babel). But like Israel we have been held in a similar type of blindness, until the times of the gentiles are fulfilled. Thus, it is written: Isaiah 29:9-14 9 Pause and wonder! Blind...

    Can anybody really tell what time it is?

    Indeed. In spite of all that is written and revealed by manifest revelation from God: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” John 21:25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they...

    Bound? Yes, as in "captive" and in need of a Savior...whom has come. Hallelujah!

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    ...for us physicists believe the separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, although a convincing one... -- Albert Einstein. But that is just a glimpse from the best that science has to offer. I would refer you to the greater authority of God.

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    Knowing the truth does have a way of making one charitable. But the commission is to witness, which by the power of God makes disciples.

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    God has by manifesting all of creation according to things on high shown in parable the truth of God. God then established the standard for truth as being His own, showing that He is perfect and also timeless, saying, not "I was" or "I will be", but "I am." Christ, then confirmed it, saying...

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    On the contrary, it should be clear that God has purposely hidden the truth from the evil [tares] among us, and only eluded to the greater truth by means of His spirit, which is the only means by which the truth is revealed. But, this, through the course of time. Even so, even the language used...

    The Light Set on a Hill

    PS, Part "B" or "2" of these prophecies is indeed referring to the present day: "First to the Jew, then to the gentile." It is just that these scriptures refer more to the flesh (the natural) rather than to the spirit. But it is both. Sorry, you have caught me in a rare moment of referring...

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    No, you misunderstand. Time is indeed an illusion...just as the subject of a parable is not the object. But time, rather, is the media of a God. The end is simply the end of the parable message unto all generations. The earth, then, no longer has the purpose of the parable by its object, but...

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    This is a fair and reasonable question. Most consider the world timeline the truth, and most who hear of the timelessness of God consider it one or the other, and therefore do not receive it. So, then, "It is finished" gets lumped in with the idea of the timeline of the world being correct and...

    The Light Set on a Hill

    Well, no, those refer to Israel leading up to and including the coming of Messiah (among the nations).
