James 4:4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

The "free" may be described in two ways: as both those free in the world (meaning Israel), and those free in God. The one is flesh, and the other spirit. But the flesh profits nothing, and was only for an example of the greater truth in spirit. These are the times of the gentiles, the time when...

Are you kidding? They went from being chosen by God to crucifying Him and died in their sins. It is a matter of recognizing what God has done and is now doing, and of embracing the spiritual future, for the flesh profits nothing. Time, is the key. It is the way of the world. But the kingdom...

Spiritually blind. Just as Israel was when Christ came the first time in the flesh. On a serious note... It is a [complete] illusion, complete with life-like chairs.

The meaning is "new" in the way of being "different", "each after its own kind", as it has been since the beginning.

Two can play at this. How fun! You should really get started with the whole renewing of your mind thing. You're way too emotional to continue as you are.

It wouldn't matter... Because it is not defined in this context by the understanding of men, but rather by what is eluded to unto men within the limited realm of humanity from God. In other words, if Picasso used crayons to convey his impression...it is both crayon and Picasso, but elementary...

Still not sure I follow. But the west prides itself for intellect. So if science says time is an illusion which scripture has eluded to, then there are no more doors to knock on. If people will not take the truth from God or from science...they will not be helped.

What does darkness have to do with light? That is schizophrenia. Iron mixed with clay crumbles.

How do you mean?

The heart is pure (or not) for different reasons. Truth or untruth, on the other hand, can be spread by both, whether aware or unaware.

Well, being that the kingdom of heaven is "within you", I would not turn from the world to the earth either.

No. Those things do not occur in the new earth: "all things" have become new. But if you perceive decay, etc. then you are still in the world.

Nonetheless, all things work together for good for those who love the Lord.

What you consider truth as you look to the world around you, is as a theater set made up to reveal actual truth - not to become your truth, as if curtains and props were of any greater value. No, it is the message that you should be focused on, not the set.

You opinion is incorrect. Jesus came that we should be set free from the world, to be raised up, to be perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect, and that where He is we should be also.

The path from a to b is revelation...and Christ has explained that it is so because we could not bear it all at once. But from a timeless and eternal God, why do you give credit to the world where moths eat and rust breaks down and flesh decays?

No...but that is the story as it is revealed to men: signs, not of the world and its riddles, but of God. If God is nothing like all of this that you consider truth in spite of what is written, why should you side with what is contrary to God and be deceived?

God speaks of His timelessness and we have been informed of our need to be born again of that same spirit and the renewing of our mind. This I have done and do, but you and most hold to your humanity, to the world, wherein time is your god, for you follow not after Jesus who entered in as I...

Nor can unbelief in some be attributed to those who witness out of a pure heart.
