How do you determine existence?

  1. By this standard, you are getting somewhere aronud .050 to .080 for a batting average. You need 1,000

    The only thing that can be said is, your id should read

    "I AM... NOT"

  2. you should be well aware that Jesus is described as "Faithful and True" Your constant ramblings have little connection with Christ.

    Have you forgotten that Jesus told His disciples that Keeping the Law (scripture) was primary? And that not one jot not tittle would pass away until all would be fulfilled?

    You are basically a dimestore apologist with little actual clue about what Jesus was about. But it is not a problem. You will have a long time in the afterlife in solitary confinement, to think about how clever you were...

  3. Quote from I am...:

    You are behaving like a hypnotized parrot.

    And an Elitetrader poster claiming to be Jesus is normal?

    Isaiah 53 does not describe me. It is not about me. That is the truth.

    You should do a little study of the several hundred Old Testament prophecies that were fulfilled in the New Testament. It has a far better batting average than yourself...

  4. Jesus


    You are confusing the attributes of Jesus with the Son of God.

    The son of man has a beginning and an end.
    The Son of God is without beginning or end.

    Man exists in time.
    God lives in eternity.

    Just because you don't undertand how the Son was created, doesn't mean he was not. That's the whole point of using Father/Son metaphor. It is not a creation that occurs in time.

    This is important to understand because to confuse cause and effect would give rise to a world in which cause and effect are confused. Such is this world.

  5. I'm serious. Isaiah 53 is not about me.

    So you're batting average is going down.

    I'll state the question again:

    How are you able to tell the difference between men who are moved by the Holy Spirit vs. imaginative arcane literature?

    Jesus

  6. This shows that the writer of Matthew does not understand the gospel.

    How can anyone betray me if I already know what they are going to do?

    The point is that I walked into the situation of my own free will. I got myself crucified. There is no one to blame.

    Likewise, this world seems to betray us and crucify us. But there is no one to blame besides ourselves. We made the bed, we sleep in it, we awake from it.

    This is the gospel.

    Jesus

  7. Question: Those Romans who crucified me. Good or bad?

    Question: What does "They know not what they do." mean to you?

    If you don't know what you are doing, are you bad?

    Are hypnotized parrots bad?

    If I wasn't crucified, what would you understand about eternal life?

    Was it bad that I was crucified?

  8. If I wasn't devoted, I wouldn't be here dealing with you.

    If it's true I said that about the law, why were the Pharisees hot and bothered about the way I and my apostles conducted ourselves relative to it?

    If that's true, why did Peter get a vision releasing him from observance of the dietary laws?

    I tell you, I and my brethren are under no laws but God's.

    Do you understand what are God's laws?

    I thought not.

    Man's laws are a dime a dozen.

    “In Jewish law we have 613 commandments. Three of those commandments have to do with a corpse: You can’t get a benefit from a dead body, you can’t cut into a dead body, and you can’t delay burial of a dead body,”

    How does this law square with your quest to buy life with my dead body?

  10. What this means is that the Bible is not going to go away until you can read it properly. The word "fulfill" simply means to interpret.

    Here I demonstrate how to interpret the ten commandments, using "graven image" as an example.

    Now, if you will interpret the "law" this way, you will begin to take steps to keep the law, which is to abolish the body and return to Spirit. And while you are at it, abolish the entire world, for it too is a graven image...along with the Bible.

    This is what it means to "renounce the world".

    "Sell everything you have" means to completely disinvest all the value you have placed in this world. It is not a sacred place made by our Father. Prepare yourself to leave it entirely, forever. Nothing about this world is true. So go home already! Does the word "exodus" mean anything to you? The laws that matter are the laws that lead you out of this world.

    The world is not a place that laws can fix and make pretty. This world is beyond repair, and not worth the effort to make it "work". It doesn't work! It never has, never will.

    Abolish this world from your heart, and deprive it a place in your mind...and it will depart from you.

    Love God with all your heart, and all your mind. Leave no place for graven images.

    Jesus
