How do you know what a Spiritual vine looks like?

In the Spirit, we are infused by the Holy Ghost as the Spiritual vine gives life to us.

Doesn't matter what it looks like to us. It's how God sees it.

So the believer is the official replacement for the Tree of Life wording, Mike?

No, it IS the Rivers of Living Water.

Invisible to the natural eye, but visible to God.

[Sean]

Is there ANYTHING invisible to God, guys?

Look at manipulation of the bible. The way God sees people getting the Holy Ghost is the rivers of living water, though no real water is there. So that does not replace the living water but it is real living water . But when we say God sees the believers as the tree life that's not the same.

Crock!

It is the tree of life. Just exactly how you say the Holy Ghost is living water. The believers are the tree of life.

Sean's double standard.

Real water, real tree...Yes indeed, but they are both SPIRITUAL water and trees. That is why we cannot see them until we die.

Now that is CROCK!...LOL

Sean's double standard.

Mike you just contradicted this verse....7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life,(eating believers?) which is in the midst of the paradise of God.



Mike, we dont eat believers in heaven.

The believers are not a Tree!...LOL

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.

Bro. I think you may have hit on something here. I have noticed too, the longer this goes on, the further and more ridiculous the responses are in an ever increasing attempt to save face and insistence they must be right because that is what they believe. They merely dig their heels in out of pride and a misguided attempt of being righteous.
I have all but back out of the discussions as of late, due to the insincerity and ridiculous answers given.
I really believe they believe they are fighting the good fight, but I think you may be right. Ignoring the nonsensical responses and only respond to serious inquiries.
