Yes it does! Why not, therefore, tell the truth?.. That something magical, something beyond your wildest dreams happens when you come to know God. That God's plan for humanity has two parts, one organic and natural, and one spiritual. That the early church had it right, and that even before...

Why then title the tread "the true story of the beginning?" If you are just offering your own speculation, then why not call it "My take on Genesis?"

Does size matter?

Instead of refocusing on the positive aspects of life against what "early Christians believed", instead of churches becoming counseling centers...it would be better to go back to that juncture and see where things went wrong. If Jesus said "soon", "this generation", and "the old order of things...

Seeeeya!

That avatar is a sin :) Sexual attraction is one of the powers of the [natural] universe, and not without detailed purpose. Before God, it is not so much for the purpose of procreation, as it is for "two becoming one" in accordance with Christ's plans to espouse God's children, that we should...

Although I marvel at people's ability to do so, and although to some degree all things in history that are manifest in the world can be sourced back to their origins on high, there is a caution from Christ that should be taken to heart, that: "It is an evil generation that seeks a sign."...

It would depend on the context: If from God's timeless perspective, then "before the foundation of the world." If in the context of the cross, then that very "hour." If in the context of the worldly timeline according to witnesses, then at Pentecost. In the context of any individual believer...

That of course is more or less the common interpretation...and yet it is not true. Daniel's interpretation of the dream was not of the future, but of the "last days", which is everyday and all of time. Christ's reign began when He overcame the world and ascended to the right hand of Power.

You have placed yourself in a self-proclaimed bubble of exception, of which there are none... "Who me?...but Lord!" You kid yourself.

No, that's crazy talk. I don't believe any such thing. The victory has been won, but those things that have been written of these times shall come and have come. But your lot has not fared well. Still, the gospel has been preached, and yet what was not believed then is still not believed now...

I answered that already...God did not hide the truth, but men chose instead to believe in a lie, to follow a man instead of the spirit of God, which resulted in a type of blindness not unlike that placed upon Israel. But...that is your defense...that it has never been believed before...

You are projecting your own position. As I said before: ...But you will not listen.

Nighty, night then...as you were.

Well...you have the context wrong. Nicodemus' question was not about "rebirth", it was simply about what Jesus meant by being born again. To which he mistakenly thought it was absurd that one might need to re-enter the womb. So Jesus clarified the difference between birth from the womb and the...

Is being born of water (the type or foreshadowing) a reaction? :)

How do you mean - confounding, or spiritualizing? Which I will answer: I am not confounding, but rather all things already are confounded by God, and must be interpreted through the Spirit. But I do spiritualize, for this is the way of the Holy Spirit whom leads us unto all truth.

We are told that during these times God pours out His spirit upon all people, and that some will dream dreams and see visions, etc. If you are a believer and have a relationship with God and with Christ, then you should consider the matter personal, to be revealed to you by them in time. If...

God said He "confounded" all language (meaning even the scriptures) at the tower of Babel. Then Jesus (not me) said that His "words are spirit." And He said "all things come in parables." So, if you want to read His words as just literature, then you are going to miss the whole truth. As for...

And here is your mistake...He didn't say "Baptism", He said "born." But you have imposed your own understanding on something very simple - literally changing the words - and complicated it.
