While I disagree with almost everything in your post, and find a lot of it isn't scripturally justified, such as the concept that only the Spirit can make the reading of the Bible make sense, (when that concept isn't in the Bible at all), I respect your ability to at least argue it with an ideology that personally works for you, as well as an ideology that causes you to question the organized chuch's status.

Or how about going to the verb of the same word.

If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.

But, I guess this also must be heresy.....

Saul of Tarsus was destroyed.

Sure was. He was given the name Paul by His King. He spent immense amounts of time in revelation, having the whole of scripture and the plan of God revealed unto him, so he could preach it to the Gentiles. He was transformed by the Holy Spirit, set apart from birth for this purpose. Yet, he had to live in the world of the Roman's as a citizen, and of Israel, as a Pharisee.

When Paul immerged, born again, He served but 1 King, even to his death.

How is your walk coming?

God is not the God of confusion. The concept that ONLY the Spirit can make the reading of the bible make sense isn't mine,,,,it is Jesus'. Otherwise, why all the divisions in the church today?? They all believe their doctrines are right, yet the Bride is unified.

"But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come."

Or this:

Psa 56:5
All day long they distort my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil.

Or this:

Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.

Just food for thought on this concept of being Spirit led to understanding.

Mine is really really rough, although in Him I do find rest and peace. Problem is, I cannot let go to rest in Him all the day long. Dang worldly systems keep gettting in the way.

Anyone who says this road is easy, I question, with all sincerity. Are they even on the right one? To pick up a cross and follow doesn't sound the least bit easy, or satisying. It goes against my very human nature, and the devil's worldly systems. I pray for the day of Him to come,,,and come quickly. Pray for me, if you would. Intercession cannot hurt.

Be blessed!

Sure, I will pray for you, but my one word answer may not be adequate.

Spiritual satisfaction has nothing to do with physicaly easy.

Nice find Eusebius Once again, more proof of UR. We do have a slight problem though.

Think of the mind as being like a computer. Those of us whom God has shown His true nature to have been upgraded by Him to accept this new language. Not new really, it's been around for ages, we just couldn't compile the information.

Those stuck in the belief of ET, well, when they see posts like yours, what's really going on in their mind is this..."Runtime Error..error code 602, syntax error at line 1...'christ savior of all mankind' does not compute. Fix syntax and re-compile or contact your system administrator"

Not all bad news, the Master programmer knows how to make it right and He's busy doing that right now.

Uh, HotinAZ, where did I say anything about "world"? The verse says "the creation." The creation is going to be freed into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

Is that not wonderful news?
