God's convicting me of talking to these kinds of people, because they're embedding themselves more into error by seeing what we say, so they can keep fighting truth. They're getting worse. And I think God will judge us for pushing them into more nonsense by their stubbornness, which they wouldn't do if it wasn't for us. They make thus junk up as they go along, and it's because we argue with that level of mentality.

Let's let these guys fall away off the forum by ignoring them. They're just getting worse.

I think that's what it means to not cast pearls before swine.

Re: Changing To Preterism from Rapture Doctrine

There are countless millions of futurist Christians(pigs) just like us, Mike.

Are you going to win us over to preterism, or go find a few friends to agree with you to share metaphors with?

I think you should lock your metaphors(pearls) in a safe and bring them out to share with folks in your preterist vault.

If you are deeply involved in tongues, have you noticed you can even feel it(the Holy Ghost) coming from the stomach/diaphragm area?
Sean, you answered in the affirmative to my post but then recanted your yes by stating something else. I asked if you believed that actual RIVERS of living water would physically come out of your stomach. Would you like to try again?

Sean you loveth and maketh a lie.

Please show ONE post that Elder M Blume says there is NO tree of life. All you have to do is find ONE POST.

It, SPIRITUALLY proceeds from our stomach as the Jesus said it would.

The Spiritual is just as real as the physical.

Whether you believe it or not, Jesus was not lying here....

38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)


It would be disheartening, to say the least, to find out Jesus was lying all along about His Spirit, as seen by Him as living water, proceeding from our bellies.

Better yet, have your master, admit to AFF, that there is a real, actual Tree of Life.(a tree with 12 fruits and leaves on it, not something else)

How many folks do u realistically foresee that tree with 12 fruits and leaves will daily feed altogether? (Cant be deciduous or we're all toast...) How big would the tree need to be?

course, he did feed quite a few mortal non resurrected folks with 5 loaves and 2 fishes, so feeding immortal resurrected folks with 12 fruit and leaves to keep them alive wouldn't be an issue....especially if they're already raised incorruptible.
