@BARNEY BRIGHT ~
I don’t much lean on the terms Symbolism, Allegory, and such regarding Scripture.
I see a difference in how things are said in Scripture as having a DUEL understanding...
1) According to a Carnal Minds Understanding /ie Logical Understanding
2) According to Gods Understanding /ie. Spiritual Understanding.
DEATH has a Logical Understanding.......Life ceases to be Alive.
DEATH has a Spiritual Understanding.....Separated from God. (Alive or Dead).
God
CREATED; and THEN;
MADE express things happen to His Creations.
The
MYSTERY is: once God CREATED all things;
* no thing can ever Be “Uncreated”...
* it can be
MADE “changed” to appear to look different.
* it can be
GIVEN a “different”, title, name, status, appearance.
* Mans (Vessel) is a body, CREATED / Formed by God, of dust of the Earth.
* Mans Internal (Vessel) is his heart...carrying mans LIFE (BLOOD) throughout and sustaining his body, with all the elements of the Earth.
* A (Vessel) that belongs to God, is a soul.
* The Life in that (Vessel) is Gods Breath of Life.
* THAT soul (Vessel) WITH Gods LIFE (Breath) is blown (By God) into an Individual, formed, born body.
* Two LIFE sources IN a natural born man...
(BLOOD)
(Gods BREATH)
* Mans BLOOD, ceases flowing, sustaining its body, body ceases having LIFE.
* Gods possessive (vessel) soul with Gods Life, DEPARTS the Lifeless, Dead Body.
*
A Third LIFE SOURCE Offering of God, to man-KIND...
* An OFFERING, a gift, that man (while alive in his BODILY Blood Life), “must”, decide, choose,
IF he wants to ACCEPT or REJECT Gods OFFERING of a THIRD Life source, that WILL NEVER Die....not physically, not spiritually.
* This THIRD Source Offering, ASSURES that mans, BODY, SOUL, SPIRIT, will be ALIVE FOREVER,
and FOREVER with God.
* The THRID Life SOURCE?
Gods SEED.
* Once Gods SEED is “planted” it grows, is taught, Gods Truth, Gods Understanding.
* PLANTED ? WHERE?
* In a NEW VESSEL. What is this NEW VESSEL? A new HEART.
* What happened to the OLD Heart?
* Circumcision.
* How is this “new Heart”, “taught, Gods Truth, Gods Understanding” ?
* By, Through, Of....the Spirit of God...Having Entered that Circumcised new Heart...FEEDING that mans New Born Spirit...Gods Truth and Understanding thereof His truth.
Matters not how frequent or infrequent the “Lake of Fire” is mentioned in Scripture...It is a PLACE of
Eternal Separation FROM God...(which IS Spiritual DEATH)...OF
* continual Fire
* continual Smoke
* mans body without blood and without a circumcised heart.
* souls without Gods breath,
* celestial living spirits, that can not physically die, that rejected God,
* hell
* the Beasts, Whores of human governments,
* Physical things are MADE ... ASH ... by the element of FIRE.
* Spiritual things (celestial beings) ... are MADE continually burning...without God, without relief or without ability to escape.
