Used to. I might be agreeing with Penrose and Smolin that it might not be going anyway for now. But to be fair, loop quantum gravity is still not as promising either. Or I just not read it enough.

Perhaps we need another revolution in understanding what time is, first...

Nah ... this verse lor:

Second Peter 1:20 says, “No prophecy of Scripture is of one’s own interpretation.”

But what is your point of reference that Jesus is the king of the context?

That I can continue that logic that the Jesus is the Spirit.

The Spirit is also the king of context. Then, based on this:

"Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of one’s own interpretation; for no prophecy was ever borne by the will of man, but men spoke from God, being borne by the Holy Spirit.” 2 Peter 1:20-21

The Spirit borned man to write the Bible with its context.

Eh? This is your logic. Simple sentences and logic. Even children can understand.

God is King. Jesus is King. So Spirit is also Jesus as King. The Spirit borne man and wrote the Bible.

You have evidence or just hearsay?

Lol .... the burden of proof is on you ... since you accuse first

Bro, that's the thing, by your definition, they can do that to you. And it is not a problem, again by your definition. Two-way blade.

=_= .... I really thought you were making an analogy ....

I already gave up long ago.

It is like an obsession depicted in Malachi where Jehovah in 1:2 says, "I have loved you, says Jehovah." This is a fact. Yet the Israelites said, "How have You loved us?"

I did try to tell him that it is nothing new that I haven't seen before in the earlier histories of Pentecostal especially in China. These group of young people do genuinely believe they are free of lust/flesh (according to Spirit) and stayed together (it is permissible). And ... what a damage it was.

That is a Tu Quoque fallacy. Why not compare with those who didn't do them?

That's fine by me .... only that your previous statement doesn't stands by appealing to that.

Er ... are you a little kid to have "you hit me and I hit you"?

There is nothing to discredit. It is history. Only that we learn from it.

Most of us knows that the churches are still below the standard revealed in the Word. There is no illusion about it Otherwise we will be the New Jerusalem already.

LOL

Then the Lord Jesus surely have a negative mentality:

Matthew 20

26 It shall not be so among you; but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant,

27 And whoever wants to be first among you shall be your slave;




Oklar ..... that's it from me ....

That a lot of manna

You are what you eat. Experientially, according to the picture in the book of Exodus, the children of Israel were destined to have a heavenly living. However, when they came out of Egypt, they brought Egyptian food with them. In typology, Egypt typified the world. Like them, we have an "Egyptian diet", a taste for the world.

During the first few weeks of their travels, they ate this Egyptian food. But when the supply of Egyptian food was exhausted, the people were troubled and began to murmur and complain. Although the shortage of food was a problem to the people, it was a cause of joy to God, for it gave Him an excellent opportunity to change the living of His people. God’s intention was to change their living from an Egyptian living to a heavenly living. God did not want merely to adjust, change, or regulate the people outwardly. He wanted to change them organically by changing their diet. When the children of Israel were in Egypt, they had many different things to eat, all elements of the Egyptian diet. However, God wanted to change their diet from many items to just one item, and that item was the manna which came from heaven.

Manna is a type of Christ. If we are honest, we will admit that just as the children of Israel were bored of eating manna, we have sometimes become bored of eating Christ as our daily food.

The world (cosmos - one of the meaning) is a system created by Satan.

The created things of the earth were ordained by God so that man could live for Him, but the systematized things of the world were ordered by Satan to usurp man so that man could not live for God. Satan arranged the world using the things that God ordained for man’s existence. These things have become the components of Satan’s system. He systematizes all the persons, things, and matters that God ordained for man’s existence along with some of his own inventions to organize the world so that he can usurp man.

Satan has mixed the world and the things that he invented with the things of the earth that were ordained by God so that it is difficult for man to distinguish between the two. For example, marriage, children, family, food, and other matters of man’s living are all ordained by God for his existence on the earth so that he can live for God. But Satan has taken the things that man needs for his existence and incorporated them into a worldly system in order to usurp man so that he would not be free to live for God. Originally, marriage, children, family, food, and other matters of man’s living were ordained by God so that he could live for God. Now marriage, children, family, clothing, food, and other matters have become things of the world to usurp man so that he cannot live for God.

In addition to the basic necessities of human existence, Satan also invented things that are not necessary for human living but which tempt people to the extent that they are even more fully systematized and usurped. For example, when some marry, they feel that they must ride in a decorated vehicle, have a certain kind of ceremony, or wear a certain kind of veil. Others feel they must celebrate when a child is born by eating special foods. Still others feel that they must wear special clothes in celebration of a new year or other festivals. None of these things are needed for human existence; they all were invented by Satan to further systematize us in relation to basic human necessities. Although marriage and childbearing are necessary for human existence, riding in a decorated vehicle, wearing a fancy veil, eating special foods, and wearing special clothes are not necessary for human living. Satan has added these items to our basic human necessities in order to further systematize and usurp us.

IMO, it is never always something is this and not the other. Yeah, I will amen that Satan works within us as the sinful nature but/and also without, being systematized in a world system (1 John 5:19; John 12:31; Eph. 6:12)

So, no escape ...

Also, the thought of absolving all blame because "it's Satan" is kinda foreign to me. I am always condemned when I found that I am still worldly in many aspects.

Also we will be judged on whether we experienced His full salvation in the matter of being saved from the world.

Cheers bro!

I must be sleeping .. yeah thx

Yeah, they did. The Catholic do represent one extreme in that they took a physical point of view and say that once the bread and the cup are blessed, the bread changes its nature, becoming the Lord’s flesh, and the vine product changes its substance, becoming the Lord’s blood.

But there is also the other end: Some look at this from an intellectual point of view and argue that the bread and the wine have not changed in substance; rather, they are merely representations. The bread represents the Lord’s body, and the vine product represents the Lord’s blood.
