Happy Christmas eve.
When you find the time would you expound on this more? If you made it up or who said it?
How you see this rather than me saying 'my take' on it?
I often have to say to the 20 yr olds telling me how to work a new Smartphone, "Pls, talk to me as if I'm in 5th grade and this is all new to me."
They can't...they still talk like they are on 10 cups of coffee.
Nothing has changed, even over time, what has been there has always been there...but,
now, we 'see' it.
The 'Ah-ha moment'.
Couldn't help myself.
Further...
What is real never changes, what is unreal is always in flux or changes.
However, I didn't know why you made this statement, what was it to help with, exactly...?
I was responding to ByGrace's being confused about freewill.
I wrote it, but I can't claim it, for it is all just a summation of what God has written. If you will notice, I italicized God's words - which make up most of it:
"If an
image is
created and a
Light projected through it over
time, is that
image any different along the way or at the
end, than it was
in the beginning? No, but what was once
unseen, has come to
light."
This is the shortened version. For the details, of course, God has supplied much more. But the idea is something only eluded to - on purpose. Time is the measure of His revelation of all that was established before the foundation of the world. The understanding, comes with understanding that in spite of us being accustom to time, it is not the way of God, which should tell us something about reality. If what "is" or "was" then, was then written...it would all still be within God's timeless environment, like a book He wrote in the twinkling of an eye. It is only in that book that there is a timeline, but it is not a real timeline, but rather a story line. And then, the really cool and amazing part is that He then reads or reveals each line to us who are the characters in the story...in would-be real time, so we get to experience every little thing point by point.
So...here we are in the final chapters...and if you read ahead in what He has foretold, these are the times of the sounding of the seventh angel.
