I've answered this question 4 or 5 times. We're going in circles. No, I'm not saying that.

Can you direct me to the post where you did. I find you very coy about answering questions concerning knowing Jesus Christ personally.

True, there is nothing eternal about ' this ' life, but what about future life !
Aren't the living people alive on Earth at the soon coming ' time of separation ' which takes place on Earth.
In other words, at Jesus' glory time - Matthew 25:31-33,37- the living people on Earth considered as righteous ones can remain alive on Earth, and continue to live on Earth right into the start of calendar Day One of Jesus' coming 1,000-year governmental rulership over Earth begins. They will have the same opportunity as was originally given to Adam before his downfall to live forever in perfect health on a beautiful paradisical Earth forever and ever.

Are you purposely changing my words or is your reading comprehension that bad?

You haven't, you have been very vague at best. Your bible teaches dependence on Christ not the Bible, which you really are saying.

Yes he is, and cannot explain the purpose of Jesus Christ in him.

An answer that's not a Bible verse! Well done, Jimmie. Thanks for actually putting your opinion out there.

That's because you haven't Jimmie, like I said any answer you have given is vague at best. I'm trying to get you to see that your bible points us to Jesus Christ TO KNOW the reality of God, it does not point us to the book itself or testifies of itself.

I've tried to answer your question and explain my position. If you don't understand, oh well. Unless you have something new to discuss, I'm done with you here.
