so you say, but i note that the sow/reap mechanism is functioning perfectly, has not broken down even a little, that i can tell.
"TOOOOOOOOOOOO MORROW, TOMORROW,
i doubt physical death was even relevant to Paul at that point tbh. Hence why there is no "third death" in Scripture imo.
one would think that the briefest reflection on the notorious unreliability of eyewitnesses would at least be a consideration in the equation, if that is going to be one's definition of "witness?"
i would refer you to the fact that Einstein only "believed" what you "know." He believes the separation is an illusion. So do i; but that belief has no practical applications, at least for me anyway. The practical application imo is to embrace that my perspective is only relevant to me; not to deny that my perspective has any relevance. Again, you are literally a clock, in your current form at least, imo
So then, Christ came to save you from time, and not sin?
that is avoiding the point, which is that even looking at the clock would not have served them
May I butt in? Faith and thanksgiving are w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l!!
Well since you put it that way, I guess I'll have to show up tomorrow. Where is that free beer now? Note that I fell in love with beer during my year in Germany [1969-1970]. In the United States I always have to drink imported beer or more expensive beer to enjoy. I honestly haven't had a beer in a couple of years now.
Of course he may have been speaking of being completely dead [ question from @VictoryinJesus ] or already being an overcomer before they threw the dirt over his face.
Perhaps while we have time [or are in time], we have the temptations which when followed lead us to sin. When time completely gone from us, so are those temptations.
When you get to that other plane with God and are not coming back ever then you would certainly be saved. This brings us back to my question as to the possibility of overcoming or being finally saved while still in the veil of flesh with time remaining.
The dogs are perhaps then where we have wanted and even strived to be. Without time. Are we clutching at straws of difference because of semantics, connotations, communication failures, or...?
oh, i thought we were examining when lol. Where is pretty easy i guess; where are you going to be tomorrow? Will the kingdom have moved, twixt now and then?
so you say, but then if King Saul (rejected) is in the same place as Samuel (accepted), how can that be?
...and yet knowing perfectly well when it is time for a walk, yes.
There is nothing static or sterile about God's word or His manifestations, yet He has clearly indicated that we are ourselves just now experiencing, "was" "before the foundation of the world." Why do you not believe it, as if your understanding and being last to know, is the greater truth? Who is likely wrong, Him or you? And if I agree with Him, why do you disagree with me?
work while you can
understand that it is not bc i don't believe it, but bc it has no relevance to my perspective, and i do not pursue it for the same reason that you do not answer what works this pov engenders in you, unto rebound. Show me one of those, and i will gladly follow
Yes, you misunderstand. I am not denying an active roll. On the contrary, we all play our part as appointed by God. And if you can grasp the abstract idea that what we now experience "was" before the foundation of the world...then we could go on to speak of what "was" "before", but now "is", being in "real time", with virtually no time difference between now and then. But, if you are stuck on the whole idea that everything exists on a timeline, then you will not be able or ready to conceive it.
your pov asserts that Hitler, specifically, was already known @ the beginning; when i would assert that the principle was known, eternal, and Hitler was just a manifestation of the eternal principle (briefly)
