John tells us in 12:41, "Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about him." Isaiah saw Jesus.
That's a non sequitur. It does not follow, and therefore your assertion is not sound.
God exists outside of time. He sees the beginning and the end of the parade as though He were looking down on it from a blimp.
From the perspective of being outside of time, creation is always in view because God lives in one eternal moment, in which from the perspective of being outside of time, time is always in perspective.
An eternal being holds the ruler.
Still God.
The Father is eternal and holds the ruler from the perspective of dwelling in eternity. Eternity surrounds time. Therefore what is in time is always in perspective of someone who inhabits eternity; because eternity does not consist of an everlasting line of time to the left and right of what we call time; rather it is what I said about the parade and God being in the blimp. We, from the perspective of time, watch the parade going by from float to float. From the perspective of eternity God sees the whole parade.
The Father lived one eternal moment and then descended to become the Son,
Eph 3:11, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
It does follow if you will ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate to you this scripture.
I have no reason to exert the brain power necessary to discern your riddles; I am quite happy believing what I believe.
Someone who believes they are a mermaid is as likewise "quite happy", but is it true that they are a mermaid?
If you're going to quote and misrepresent Scripture, at least get the quotation accurate.
As for your admonition, it's hypocritical, for in accusing me of judging you, you are judging me.
You're right....I probably shouldn't cast my pearls in front of you.
Since what I believe is in fact true, your analogy breaks down at its roots.
Of course. Because you judged, you got judged....just like that scripture says.
Better thee than me to try to explain There is One God. “God is a Spirit”, yep that’s Him. God is The Son , Yep that’’s Him, It pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell , yep that’s Him. Great is the Mystery of Godliness , God was manifest the flesh , Yep that’s Him, He that sees me sees Him who sent me, yep thats Him . The Holy Spirit is Called The Spirit God, The Spirit of the Father , and the Spirit of Christ yep That’s Him, Also called the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus Christ our Lord from the dead , Yep thats Him The Son is Called the Everlasting Father in Isaiah . Blessed be the Lord , I am laughing too much . I have to stop. Glory to our God.
