Thanks, Terral. I have a serious question though. You know a great many important details which other Christians don't seem to know. How did you obtain these truths? Did you receive some Special Revelation, or are you just wiser at scripture interpretation than the larger body of Christians?

Hi Chesterton:

Thanks, Terral. I have a serious question though.

Ask away. :0)

You know a great many important details which other Christians don't seem to know. How did you obtain these truths?

The Lord God has been showing me ‘the truth’ of these things through His Living Word from the beginning. God allows me to answer the ‘what’ questions in some detail, but the answer to ‘how I know’ would become a stumbling block to a majority of those for whom Christ died. For example: Jesus Christ told the disciples that John the Baptist is Elijah ‘who is to come’ (Matt. 11:14 = Acts 3:22-23), saying that All the prophets and the Law prophesied until John (Matt. 11:13) and that he is “MORE than a prophet.” Matthew 11:9. However, when they asked John the Baptist if he was Elijah, then his reply was, “No.” John 1:21. Do you know the reason why John said no?? :0) If you must ask the question, then he is ‘not recognized.’ Matthew 17:12. Let’s just say I have a VAST advantage over the typical professing Christian and am happy to answer questions on any topic from Genesis to Revelation.

Did you receive some Special Revelation, or are you just wiser at scripture interpretation than the larger body of Christians?

Your Bible is Two Testaments, but my Bible is three witnesses (diagram) of spirit, blood and water very much “Living and Active” (Heb. 4:12) like the Tree of Life in the Garden for Adam, Melchizedek for Abraham, the Glory of the Tabernacle for Moses and David and Zacharias, and then the Spirit that John the Baptist handed to Christ in the Jordan. When your Bible becomes a Living Host like mine, then the your spirit will commune with the Spirit of God’s Living Word to beget something totally new (mind of Christ = 1Cor. 2:16) to answer questions in the same way. The limiting variable in the equation is that all I have is seeds and God Himself must cause the growth (1Cor. 3:6-7) ONLY when those seeds find a well-prepared and cultivated heart. For every member of Christ's Body that sees God's Hidden Wisdom in my work, there are ten scoffers mocking and perishing (Acts 13:41). So congratulations on being numbered among the 'few' and not the MANY. :0) I am,

In Christ Jesus,

Terral

As they say, Nature IS a mother...... (in the pejorative, scatalogical)

IMHO, it is not we who are "it", but Christ who is "it". Who and What He is is the pinnacle of all that is. He, the Creator, sums up all of creation. He sums up all of humanity in Himself. He is the archetype and the goal. The creation of man in Genesis merely foreshadows Christ. Hebrews comments on Psalm 8, which comments on Gen 1. The author of Hebrews says that Psalm refers to Christ. Thus Genesis 1 refers to Christ
