I will say this real clear for you.
There is nothing new (of man) under the sun. (sin, weakness, fear, hope, pride, love, and lust, etc.)
Don't tell me that I'm adding words in for the rest of the context shows that it is talking about what man has in himself. This should be obvious to you. Are you so eager to prove you theology that you over look the obvious.
Hay,
'i' am not trying to tell you 'nutin'. I just quoted scripture, not a bunch of mans 'obvious' stuff.
I know that it takes [FAITH to BELIEVE the Master's WORDS]. That is what it is all about! From Heb. 5 tooooo Heb. 6. (check verse 6!)
Personally: For me, ( i am talking) The verse in Psalms 77:13 was the groundwork of [my] faith in my Master. I had at first, all kind of thoughts on His Words. Other Worlds? twice repeated in the plural of speech? The 'test' of the forbidden tree growing [in] the garden, of 'VERY GOOD' created humans? The rebellion in heaven of created 'PERFECT' ones, and, God permitted Lucifer to live on??? Then he was cast unto earth? And he was once the covering cherub in the temple of God, over the Ark of His Covenant??
And then came Adam & Eves (FIRST) creation, Cain. And Cain was allowed to live on like his new master was?? Gen. 4:7. And these parents were made in the image of God! (all the way down to being able to pro/create)
Then i wondered, what was before in the history of earth??? (the eccl.'s chapters again) Other worlds [not] in rebellion. Were they tested also? And mans [first created] child Cain, rebelled?? Was Lucifer the GodHeads FIRST of creation?? God said so in the Eccl. verses! Do you have a problem with this? SURELY! Does this make the Word of the Master wrong? Hardly!
Then what is this testing about?? Created 'perfect'! try Rom. 8:1! Still we have NO TESTED [DEVELOPED] CHARACTER---*FAITH*! (these were, still needed questions that i needed answered)
Do not mis/understand my question here!
The exact [same provisions] that these all HAD, i today also have. It is CALLED THE ETERNAL, EVERLASTING GOSPEL & COVENANT!
PROMISES WITH THE CONDITIONAL PROVISIONS OF THE MASTER HIMSELF! Phil. 4:13 & 2 Cor. 12:9 These are [our provisions] to DEVELOPE CHARACTER! ["IF"] we will? that is my decision & free choice. Heb. 12:4 through 8.
Well, lets try another question for 'me', (in past tense)
Matt 25 has an 50-50% PURE VIRGIN DENOMINATIONAL ratio that is likened to the 'Kindgom of Heaven'!! Five WISE & five FOOLISH, and the only believed saved ones?? This is my (?) mark!
Rev. teaches that 1/3 of the angels of heaven were cast to the earth. So i see there is a number in between 1/3 & 50% uncounted for? FAITH?? What is that?? BELIEVE THE MASTER'S WORDS?? Do 'i'? (or did i)
OK: This small percentage is what 'i' wanted to understand about? Sin in heaven amongst the [saved] BELIEVERS! Then i read of the [EVERLASTING GOSPEL & the EVERLASTING COVENANT]! (verses? Rev. 14:6's first part & Heb.13:20's last part) Surely eternal goes that far back, huh? The BLOOD OF CHRIST AND THE PLAN OF SALVATION?
(notice the word THE PLAN!!) This took FAITH TO BELIEVE. Any how, over a period of time the [Grace of Christ] was Quenced & Grieved away, and the open sin of rebellion was 'MATURE'!! (testing to see if any more of these past/tence PERFECT angels could be saved) try Ps. 19:13 & 1 John 5:17!
What was before this Lord?? Eccl. 1:9-10 & Eccl. 3:15 tells me. That takes some faith to believe huh? (and what do you say? 'The Obvious' & 'so eager to prove your theology? Again these are [my] questions that i once had. Not still! And as far as any others are concerned, by me? They will believe as [they] please. And it seems that the Lord let all have this free DECISION to make also, again it is CALLED FAITH
In the Master's quickly finished work for the 'House of God' [FIRST]. 1 Peter 4:17-Lev. 16:14. It that you perhaps? No, 'i' think not. Your testing will be the soon to be 666 one.
