why can't it change? The sun is the same in a relative way. to a butterfly we don't change for generations, the earth never changes to it. no amount of "describing it" will change that "fact" for butterflies. Just like no amount of explaining for those that refuse to believe in anything will change their mind. Well, short of an alien coming and claiming its god. But that kind of proof is more of an indication of mental state then it is an objective analysis of observations.

Nests vs mansions? - Never heard that one before, must be a mistranslation. I'm sure the original greek didn't change.

Easter? - The Church teaches Easter. The Bible teaches Passover. And they are not the same.

Tongues? - Happened at the Tower of Babel and Jerusalem and today. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.




oh ya, and
Pneuma = Rapture now, forgot that one.

Pneuma = Air
Rapture = false doctrine of pretribulation or midtribulation "catching away" that happens after the great tribulation, but not related to pneuma.







oh, ya, and those who "ate and drank at His table"
are not divorced from...well, ya. etc
????? Somehow my answers ended up in the blue box above.

Who in their right mind, would worship a God, that changes his truth, his rules, or makes up stuff as times go along.

There is what is and then there is what we want it to be. Why would you want them to be different?

7 Love bears all things, believes all things...
Do you believe the words that you say, and say the words that you believe? Then you will be judged by the very words that you believe. MATT, 15:18, MATT, 12:27, LK.19:22, 2SAM 1:16, 1KINGS20:40 .............

When the Son of man returns, shall he find faith on the earth.

Belief in the truth is a requirement for salvation. Any one who has read the bible knows that.

He may be the Son of God, according to the Scriptures - but he is not God. And the Bible may be the word of God, according to the perceptions of men. However, that is something which is subjected to the element of change. Unless of course, you believe that men are inerrant and infallible? Inspiration is merely the process of being stimulated. Often times, it can take your breath away, or create an environment where growth is possible - if you are open to learning (change).
