This seems to be the case... Revelation describes it as a giant cube with 12 floors. Like a giant city block but bigger where mansions are built. However, this may be our residence, but not necessarily the final destination as we apparently will have tasks to perform.
When you pray OUR FATHER.
What if God the Father ask you. "You are saying that I'm your Father. WHO AM I?"
What is your answer or ignore God the Father question?
I have responded correctly to the test that Scripture presents. You have misinterpreted Scripture to invent a false test. You have assumed that I failed your test but have presented absolutely no evidence to support your accusation, despite many requests for evidence. You have continually implied that my posts are worthless because I “failed” your false test.
You don’t have the integrity to defend your accusations with evidence. Instead you sidestep and attempt to avoid accountability. Your shameful behaviour is on display to the world.
Does it mean if God the Father ask you the question "You are calling me as your Father, WHO AM I" you will not answer him?
You invented a test where none exists in Scripture. You assumed that I failed simply because I challenged you. You dismiss everything I tell you because you think I failed your test.
You dismiss the test that Scripture actually contains. Why should anyone believe anything you say?
Because you can't identify who God the Father is. I can discern your doctrine.
Your belief is God is a mystery.
You keep on saying, it is my accusation.
But I will keep on saying I don't accuse anyone. I'm sharing the truth.
The Truth is:
My evidence that you failed the test and your belief is God is a mystery and cannot be fully known or else you would have named the One True God long ago.
I'm not teaching.
I'm sharing the truth.
Therefore I'm not forcing anyone to believe me.
I'm replying in your comment, hoping that there might be a lost sheep in this thread.
Remember John Chapter 6.
When the Lord Jesus shared the truth to the multitude.
Lord Jesus hoping that there might be a lost sheep on them.
Unfortunately none and so Lord Jesus let them to leave.
JOHN 6:53, 60 & 66
5 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
In sharing the truth, let the listeners have their own choice if they accept it or not.
Let them exercise their freewill to decide for themselves.
Whoever offending those listeners when they resist are not of God.
While we are waiting for the Lord Jesus to reveal the meaning of John 14:2.
Why don't we try to listen to the test given by Lord Jesus in 1 John 4:2-3
Who is Jesus Christ who come in the Flesh?
I heard many people that have 4 different answers to the question:
1.) Jesus is a man and not God -- Numbers 23:19
2.) Jesus is God but a Mighty God and God the Father is the Almighty God -------------- Isaiah 9:6
3.) The Name of the Father and the Holy Ghost is Jesus Christ. Therefore the name of God is Jesus Chriat (Oneness Doctrine) ---- Matthew 28:19 & Acts 2:38.
4.) There is only One God but it has 3 persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus is God and a man (Trinitarian Doctrine) ------- Matthew 3:16-17
Among the 4 descriptions which do you believe?
Who do you think pass the test in 1 John 4:2-3?
This is what God hates most in human. The presence of pride in their hearts.
God desires humility or humbleness.
The test is biblical. Althogh it is written but still you don't understand it.
Look at Saul of Tarsus.
Saul studied in a bible school and became a religious leader (Pharisee). Because he want to srve and love God.
But when he was confronted by Lord Jesus Christ in Acts 9:3-8. Despite Saul knows for himself that he knows God.
He humble himself and he admitted before the Lord that he never know who God the Father is whom he loved and served.
That is the humility that God desires to a person and that is only the time when God introduced himself to Saul and he became Paul.
ACTS 9:3-8
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
I have never failed your made-up test. I have merely challenged its validity. You have never provided evidence that I failed… because there isn’t any.
I will not play your silly game. You owe me an apology for your slander and I will not answer any questions you ask until you apologize and cease.
No, it's not. You invented it. There is nothing in the text about testing anything by questioning whether a person's revelation of Jesus is from the Father, or vice versa.
Meanwhile, there ARE two tests presented in Scripture: one is in 1 Corinthians 12, and the other is in 1 John 4. The first is for people; the second is for spirits.
You have confused the latter and rejected the former. If anyone is "not understanding" what Scripture says, it is definitely you, not me.
I will not play your silly game
This thread is not for you alone. It is for the lost sheep of God.
You owe me an apology
Beside I don't owe you an apology.
When it comes to spiritual, the truth matters.
ROMANS 2:11
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
I perefer what God is saying than what you are saying.
I will not answer any questions you ask until you apologize and cease.
Don't expect the truth to stop.
LUKE 19:40
40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
You can stop answering the questions if that is your choice. You are free to do it.
JOHN 6:60 & 66
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
To have the truth in 1 John 4:2-3 doesn't mean ignoring 1 CORINTHIANS 12 (although no certain chapter & verse).
By focusing to 1 Corinthians 12 doesn't mean you can ignore the test in 1 John 4:2-3.
They both God's words. By ignoring in one of them, you are ignoring God.
If you really want to teach or preach what do you understand in 1 Corinthians 12. Why don't you make a thread about it?
Every denomination in Christianity is having 1 of these 4 description of Jesus Christ.
But chosing 1 only and leave the 3 means leaving God because they are all God's words.
Who said anything about ignoring 1 John 4? You assumed… again. You assume and invent problems to justify your dismissal.
You keep demonstrating that you’re an unpleasant person with an agenda.
If all the 4 description of Jesus are come from God.
If we believe in all of them, what will happen next?
How do we know the real Jesus Christ recognized by the apostles if the 4 descriptions contradict each other?
