No, I don't think so. You know when only 2 options are presented then there is always more

Either Paul's writtings are a great lie or he's talking about something you know nothing about

i agree

that dictionary is wrong. lol

a baby in the womb is breathing, there is life in the womb no matter what is done, abortion or whatever, that life cannot be ended

faith is probably the biggest thing needed, and let your faith reveal itself to you and not some preconceived definition of it

?

do you want to understand or are you convinced that there is no understanding, maybe there is some missing pieces....

fear of freedom is probably the reason anyone would go back to twi......or maybe loneliness....

here is the standard definition by twi/bullinger and other offshoots The Idiom of Permission : Biblical Studies by Phillip Varady Sr. there is a lot of assumptions in this definition to make it sound real

It's one thing to be an arrogant know it all and another to be arrogant and think no one knows anything including one's self except for what is arrogantly posted as if it means something to anyone. That's not the only 2 ways to do it either.

I think the old testament folks were just like us, you know, people, Jesus too Primitive like us, refined like us, just as dumb and just as smart

figures of speech in many languages offer vast amounts of information in a lot less words I tend to take it in as is and let it grow if there is life in those ideas, no matter the source or perceived to be revelation or not

other things come into play with script of any origin, figures of speech are just part of the narrative, not the whole thing that is being communicated just looking at any person writing or talking there is a lot we register to understand without having to break everything down to parts of speech, a lot of automatic understanding is already present

don't know which I am most of the time, both I'm sure saw your edit in the 1st post, modcat, no problems, these things work themselves out

how is this not about the idiom of permission? god allowed the tree of life to be eaten but did not allow the tree of knowledge of good and evil to be eaten it don't matter I suppose, people see things differently and can't see some things differently,

it's an experience that is useful, I think ... --- If it's not taken too personally, you know anyways, it's an internal fight with yourself that someone brings out in you.... a good thing to bring out...most of the time....

trying to adjust, not easy when things have been so screwy for so long, like seeing a bigger picture than such a narrow minded up-bringing, however, even that is turning to favor, balancing it all, emotions logic realities, besides seeing more

it seems all these events in matt 24 happen every day while some look to the future others see it happening now

there's more than one way to cut the pie, the true ninja slicer can use two knives why does the flaming sword protecting the tree of life turn Every way? not just one way

cause it seems we ended up with the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and the tree of life From Modcat5: Apologies to CMan for commandeering this post. I cannot see a way to send it back or delete it, so I'm stuck with a bad decision. Nonetheless, this thread was intended to get the Idioms of Permission thread back on topic. Thanks to all for your patience and understanding. Modcat5.

clearly redemption is in the hand of Christ what is called God, what is it really

Boston now....... Peace of Mind
