i thought i would give some thoughts on these verses.
Colossians 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-- all things have been created through Him and for Him.…
interesting to look at this world and compare it to that. it would appear to the casual observer that this cant be true. who would create such ravenous governments as we have today? unless of course it was just recompense, ie reaping what we sow. but then one would have to be "dualistic" or whatever to think that. the double mind is anathema.
obviously we are doing this to ourselves. it seems to me further evidence that the thousand year reign of christ has come and gone and the devil has been loosed for a little while. since a day is as a thousand years to the lord then the last thousand years is a real little while, and particularly the last hundred years, has been the devils playground, dont you think? none of these lies and murders and thefts have any direct connection to the creator, i can tell you that. its his evil uppity offspring who have spat in his face and continue destroying his creation at every level.
John Milton: Who, in their right mind Kevin, could possibly deny the twentieth century was entirely mine.
skip to 111 to avoid off language
John 1:18
No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
ah, ya got heresy built into the translation there. thats not what it says.
