This is the answer: The joining of heaven and earth, that which is perfect with that which is fallen and imperfect. But it is not a "union" in that respect, but rather a rescue. Christ came to save that which was lost...but has done so through weakness. What you have identified as changing, is...

Welcome! We should call you Solomon...he did something like that: Had everything the world could possibly offer, but all said and done, considered it all to be "vanity" (nothing).

The believing of a lie of strong delusion foretold by the apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2 : The Great Apostasy 2 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by...

Yeah, pretty strange. Like report card day.

Yeah, I would hardly call some peoples "knowledge" knowledge at all. Certainly, that must be the kind that goes to the head.

I take the great apostasy of 2 Thessalonians 2 to be referring to the teachings of a someday mass rapture event.

Sounds like the problem with Brown Belts. Having all the skill they are dangerous. The difference between that and Black Belt is mostly humility.

This is what I was referring to: Many Disciples Turn Away 60 Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying; who can understand it?” 61 When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, “Does this offend you? 62 What then...

I am inclined to agree with your stance, that we should even be proactive in holding up a biblical standard. Perhaps it's just me. But I think I see where @Job is coming from...makes me think of this verse: Revelation 22:11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him...

Thanks, yeah, rephrasing...

Indeed, the term is in regard not just to God, but to Christ (Christ-ian). But there are two possible definitions: A "disciple" of Christ, meaning one who has come under His authority. These are those who may or may not continue to follow Him. They are not saved, but seeking. Those who believe...

It is important that Christians keep marriage according to the standard which God directed. Because it is not just a way of living in the world, but a manifestation and an example of our re-uniting with God. If we follow His directions we regain all that we may ever come to lose in the world...

I believe the punchline here comes from Christ, who seemed to sum it all up, saying, "Seek first the kingdom of God..." Matthew 6:33

The key of knowledge was defined by Christ as NOT rejecting the word of God through the prophets of old...which now is a spiritual gift. The Pharisees and Lawyers killed the prophets of old. Now many without the gift of prophecy simply attack those who do and yet still reject those whom God...

It's just the word they used, which was appropriate for that time - an eye for an eye, sacrifice, and all that. Bringing that up to date, we would say "justice." But make no mistake, the wages of sin, is death.

Well, I am glad that you express lies and secrets as different terms. Because they are completely different: Even God keeps secrets...but does not lie.

...Then you were on the right track. God is good!

By seeking first the kingdom of God, we are lead unto all truth. This is the promise of these days.

"Misguided Paul?"
