    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    You cannot quote scriptures of your choosing against those that I have chosen - you contradict God. I have spoken to you from the light, and the fact that you cannot see all from this present darkness is no mystery. Yet it is a shame, for the day has dawned long ago. But even now I speak a...

    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    Ha...I took it to be serious - not sarcastic! I was expecting a group hug or somethings. Sorry to be mistaken. :(

    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    Don't be silly. The Bible is the most widely published book in history. It's a fact. It is all a manifestation of things on high. It should be obvious if the spirit is at all willing. I'll point to just one: Genesis 1:16 Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the...

    Rapture is not in the Bible

    I guess this pertains to the rapture, kinda, sorta... Certainly God whom is spirit is completely capable of physical manifestation, but has called it "lower", and "passing away." But what Christ made clear to Thomas and the other apostles, was not glorified flesh, but "resurrected"...

    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    You are missing the point: Christ has planted good seed in the world, and Satan has planted evil seed. But the word of scripture is public and held in secret, only to be revealed to those of whom it is given. This parable language has its roots in the manifest imagery of creation, but was not...

    Whose lying?

    That, of course, is all over the map of history...which is the point that Paul was making: The complete truth as it has been hidden in God during times past, that was revealed in the fullness of time, does not make the former liars. But rather, makes the former only true of that time. This is...

    Rapture is not in the Bible

    Yeah, most of the confusion comes from misunderstanding the terms of translation: first from eternal language to worldly, then that of different times and customs. For instance, you mentioned the "earthly bodies into glorified" bodies. We have our answer, which is "first the flesh and then the...

    The Holy Spirit ?

    Not the voice of God, but certainly the Spirit of God. All Three of the common Trinity doctrine simply come to us in personified fashion by the way that God has revealed them. These are not assumptions, nor is "persons" completely accurate: There is so much more. It is the Holy Spirit (of God)...

    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    You are not thinking big enough: Everything, is a parable manifestation of things on high. If you want to call that "the 'mystery' form of the kingdom", that is good, but it includes everything from the stars in the heavens and the waters above and the waters below, to the parable examples that...

    Rapture is not in the Bible

    John spoke of those things revealed to him, and Paul spoke of those things revealed to him. But the Source is the same God, and therefore if they agree, it is no surprise. Also, there is no advantage to considering things on a timeline. Time is of the world, and the kingdom of God, of which...

    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    That is not how Jesus himself said it. He said: John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, Mark 4:11 And He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all...

    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    I will not call Him a liar, but have believed His word, and quoted Him, which I will continue to do. But you are at least partially correct, in that He also spoke a very few things "plainly." However, it is not those few things that we where speaking of here. So you do no service to this...

    Rapture is not in the Bible

    That is indeed insightful, and we know that these things were a foreshadowing of things to come. But I was referring to Keras' comment about the church not going to heaven, which is to say the kingdom of God. Which is to deny the promise of God.

    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    He came rather "to seek and to save that which was lost" - not those who willfully rebelled, but rather those who lost their way ("I am the Way"). These things are hidden then from "the tares" which grow among "the wheat", which were also planted in the earth (by Satan).

    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    Again, do not be dismayed. His strength in made perfect in [this] weakness. All is well in hand. These things are "finished", He has overcome the world.

    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    I do not think it, but know that He did, because He said so. This He explained was so that "because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand." "They", being those who are "outside" and not included in those chosen. But not just "the" parables as some would...

    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    GG, do not be surprised that those who speak in the Holy Spirit do not always agree with the scriptures. This is masterfully intentional. First, we have been informed that God himself "confused" all language throughout the whole world at the tower of Babel...which does not exclude scripture...

    The Bible is more a record of those who "know", than those who "believe."

    Your answer seems conflicted: First you quote biblical scripture as if for it, then seem to divorce yourself from it as if against it. What is it that you believe? Is there a name for your faith, that we might look into a more complete definition?

    Same Sex Marriage Postal Vote Australia

    It is given once for man to die, and in the world we will have tribulation. Every life has it own version of tragedy. We do not draw lots, nor can we really choose that our will rather than God's be done. There are only two choices: Life in Christ, or death alone. Either way, the storms will...

    The Great Apostacy

    Thanks for clarifying. Definitely a great one indeed.
