Without going into detail here and now, I suspect that the Tree of Life really is not so pleasing to some who call themselves believers now, not if it would mean they would have to admit they have not yet overcome in order to be given access: "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit...

I won't go through all of this with you again... not now! I do have an answer or at least a question with regard to each of your points. One difference I do see between us is that I have not decided what the end is for me. I believe that you have for you... but discussing it further won't make a...

I do not disagree, but we may have a different idea about what it means to be in the Kingdom and the possibilities from that point. Maybe not?

I understand what you are saying but do not presume there is no connection between the laws of men and the laws of God. Do not presume the fact of birth sets everything in the relationship child and parent in concrete, not between men and men, and not between between men and God: "Which was the...

My error. I sometimes confuse one person with another on this forum. I try not to but my old mind has trouble keeping track of each one. I ask for your pardon in this.

And I love you old friend. Give God the glory!

Yes... it would seem so! You see it as a final end, whereas I see it as a new beginning... the beginning that Adam and Eve threw away for their offspring.

The Word of God certainly does not change, but our understanding of it certainly will change if we continue to grow closer to Him. Visions [or dreams] from God do not change His Word, but confirm or reconfirm or clarify things for the person receiving them or sometimes others person hearing them...

Even so and indeed when a person first comes to God he is very carnal, but as he grows toward God, the new man, that is the spiritual man goes to work with the power of the Holy Spirit [no hands of man] within him to kill the old man and all of his ways: "He must increase, but I must decrease"...

And Zion is the habitation and resting place of our Lord: "For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it." Psalm 132:13-14 So knowing who or what Zion is should be a very important consideration for us...

But under man's law disinheritance of a natural child is possible. I worked for the Social Security Administration for many years and had to deal with such laws quite regularly. Under the laws of many states [but not all] of the United States, when a child is legally adopted he automatically...

This is certainly a valid point. In the final judgment on each person how much he received does not really matter to God, but God still does choose to use people who have the necessary abilities [talents] to do the work He calls them to do. Consider the men named to lead and do the necessary...

To the carnal mind of man, truth is subjective, but not to God. Jesus tells us clearly: "... I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6 His words are clear, but this does not mean that our understanding of His meaning is clear. How well do we...

I don't believe I said anything that disagreed with the verses you posted. Of course there were warnings, but how many people knew about them and of those who did know about them, how many accepted that Jesus was the fulfillment of the prophecies? It may be readily apparent to you or to me...

Even so... "Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee." Rev 3:3 What have we done with what we have been given? We can also find...

How is one certain that he is born again? You seem to suggest a person may be kidding himself about this. This I would call delusion, when a person believes he is born again but he really is not. Paul elsewhere tells us the cause of delusion: "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in...

Where is this "here"… the one that is really important when it comes down to it? "And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein." Isaiah 35:8

Yes, it is where He is in those that have invited Him and allowed Him to come in. Are there any who say that He is but have kept some portion of their own doors locked against Him? Unfortunately, all of us too often are aware that the answer is, yes! Help us dear Lord! Does this not relate to...

I always used to enjoy reading your posts those years ago. I copied a great many of them and have them saved on this computer where I am typing now. When you started posting here recently it brought back the memories of those times and those saved messages you wrote so long ago. I used to read...

In a very real sense the Bible agrees. The Body of Christ is the Church which consists of a Head which is Jesus and a Body which the Church. Jesus only the Head. He too is incomplete without the Body, which we are to be, the place with Jesus will be able to lay His Head [that is, himself]: "And...
