Do not I fill heaven and earth?
saith the LORD
(Jeremiah 23:24)
I agree no corruption in Christ who alone is eternal God . He is not a man as us.
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Its the flesh that he says profits for nothing that is signified as sinful.The unseen Spirit alone profits. You could say corrupted flesh is a symbol of being dead.(walking dead).
Before he corrupted it no one knows what it was . Some say he slew animal and covered mankind with their skin. Many opinions on that event. Aging alone points to a end. Even if a person lived twice a thousand years .
John 6 is clear .When he asked those who were trusting in what the eyes see the temporal. He informs us in John 6 of that parable using the prescription in 2 Corinthian 4:18 for rightly dividing the parable. It reveals the "law of faith" which is mixed with the letter of the law (death) together making one new perfect law that works in the believer. Not from the believer.
2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
It exposes the nature of sinful flesh which was needed for a one time demonstration of the father and the Son completing the law of faith through the work of one faith
What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.John 6:62-63
They who did walk after the flesh walked away .They as faithless were hoping corrupted flesh could profit. J
Just as in the same way today as sons of God according to first John we are not what we will be .Corrupted flesh is not the standard of new creatures
Yes weak and powerless. What it could not do the unseen Spirit of faith did accomplish as a law of faith . Making both laws that seen and the unseen creating one new perfect law . Called mixing faith in Hebrew 4.
Likeness is in what the eyes see. .. no further .
Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
I was agreeing with you on this. Not sure that came through.

That man. This is not about Jesus ability to heal a man. That man's heal body does not become God.
So that man can not claim that his arm is God,
It’s not about whose right or wrong but how one views the scriptures to what they believe.
If helps them to stronger in their Faith/walk with Jesus …………… Praise the Lord
That is our ultimate aim………… 2 Corinthians 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight
our ultimate aim is to be with Jesus = "The Truth" - and our faith is in truth, in right. so it really is about right and wrong; there is a truth, and the goal is to arrive at it. it's about what each one of our views is with respect to figuring out what each one of our views ought to be - most of the time we've all got a different piece of the puzzle, like we're all parts of one body - with One Head
i think so too. the Word didn't become that man's arm of flesh; the Word spoke and that arm of flesh was created, a gift to that man, to God's glory
That is a question not a statement of fact, note question mark at the end.
So can you answer the question regarding what fills the expanse of the space which did not physically exist before being created in the beginning?
I would ask? What expanse of the space which did not physically exist before being created in the beginning? How could you time it?
The expanse of space which did not exist before being created in the beginning is the is physical world called the universe.
Creatio ex nihilo (Latin for "creation from nothing") is the philosophical dictum which postulates that the universe, being the sum of its all its parts, was created by a free act of the eternal God.
It asserts that the eternal God created the physical universe out of nothing. It holds that the universe was not created out of some preexisting material nor was it created out of the divine substance itself.
This view was established by the early Christian Church and was formally defined as dogma by the fourth Lateran Council in 1215.
It's a rhetorical question, where the answer ("Yes") is implied.
Then can you answer the question regarding what is the physical substance that fills the heaven and the earth.
If a rhetorical question which generally do not require an answer, if it has an implied answer then it is implied you should be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks them for the reason for the hope in yourr claim that the answer is implied as 'yes' holds any substance of faith.
The question contains the answer: "Do I not fill heaven and earth?" The "I" is God, as He is asking the question. HE fills heaven and earth.
As to "be ready to give an answer for the hope", that doesn't mean you need to have "the" answer to every question.
Actually...no...
These verses are talking about Jesus, the Son of God, becoming flesh in approximately 4 BC. They have nothing to do with the indwelling of Jesus in the believer through the mediation of the Holy Spirit.
He became the unique God-man at that point.
However, through union with Christ, the believer is joined with him in an eternal union. Jesus dwells within him.
But, this doesn't imply that the person will be physically healed of every health condition. In fact, God uses suffering to sanctify the believer sometimes.
Faith is the reason why you believe something is true, if you can't answer the question regarding the reason you hope what you are saying is true is because your hope is merely belief without substance. So if you are going to claim that the LORD fills the heaven and the earth with darkness then I'll guess that you are right.
You're dealing with two distinct issues. I'll address the latter first: I did not claim that "the LORD fills the heaven and the earth with darkness". I have no idea where you got the idea that I said that.
I believe certain things are true by one of three reasons: God said so (faith and trust), certain persons relayed the information (trust), or I have experienced it myself.
Faith is being certain of what we do not see (Hebrews 11). If someone asks the reason for the hope I have, that is a specific issue dealing with the Person and finished work of Jesus Christ, not every detail of Scripture, life, or creation. If they ask a specific question, I will give a specific answer to the best of my ability.
Well the answer is quite simple. God did not need to create over a period of six days. But God was putting into effect man's work week, which consists of six 24 hour days and one day of rest from labor. And this is stated in the Fourth Commandment.excellent question
There is a physical, emotional, and spiritual need for this pattern. Also man requires to divide 24 hours into three segments for his own mental and physical well-being -- 8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of work, and 8 hours of recuperation and recreation (including meal times).
