I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Basically, since I am being judged, I am curious as to what image is being judged.

It's just a discussion and some people have a rather blunt approach and are overly concerned with what they perceive as "error".
I do the same sort of thing but focus on the Bible since that is what I study.
Your "Jesus" may seem to be divergent from standard Christianity because you open up the possibility of it being viewed as a repeatable thing.
Christian doctrine is that it was one time, and not to be needed a second time.
Having Jesus start all over goes against that fundamental aspect of the religion.

Tone......strange you should say that Ohm lol
I have a theory that the goldilocks zone is due to a compatible frequency. A frequency that is compatible with life and an essential part of a planet bearing life.
As an opera singer is able to shatter a wine glass by subjecting that glass beyond that which it can cope with.
Frequency is light and light has many colours. Yet we as a species can only see between 400 and 700 nanometers.
I may indeed be talking absolute bollocks but hey maybe that is what Tesla was on about.
Does our planet have a specific frequency or tone that relates also to its colour
Mars red?
Neptune?
Venus?
Primary colours as to primary sounds?
I wanted to post this in another thread tbh but I couldn't find one to suit and you mentioned tone. So, here it is lol.
Our sensestwo of our senses are
Sight- colours
Sound- frequencies and vibrations
So.....could Ohm in relation to sound be specific to the goldilocks zone in relation to a habitable frequency?
Just asking.
mods remove if deemed necessary.
TextIt doesn't answer the question that is fundamental in Christian teaching. Did Jesus ascend bodily or not? As a Christian, you should be able to answer that. If you do not believe Jesus resurrected bodily and then ascended bodily, then you aren't Christian according to Christian teaching. Christianity was founded on that and you don't need Greek to understand it.

Of course it is a limited view, because it is a narrow way.
All ways are limited, regardless of how "divine" you feel they are. Limitation is not based on path, it is based on the fact that we are not omniscient. Your path is filled with judgment and assumption. You may not be walking on the path you thought you were.
Certainly you can believe however you want, being caught by every wind of doctrine and be tossed about. I am compelled to take the narrow way.
Interesting that you seem to know my beliefs. Is it because of past experiences with others? I have certainly never shared my actual beliefs on this site, so I would be interested to know how you can judge.
Which doctrines do I follow?
If you cant answer correctly, then your path is not what you think it is.

a reply to: WarminIndyThat is explained later in the same chapter, that Jesus is talking about the church being the dwelling of God.
Jesus said He was coming back, after preparing a place for those who believe in Him.
This is as opposed to how in the old system, there was one "house of God", and that was in Jerusalem.
John 14:23
Jesus replied, "Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.
(2011 NIV)
So it is a spiritual dwelling and the "coming again" is metaphorical."Every eye will see" was a figure of speech back before global live TV, which meant that people would perceive in their minds that Jesus had returned, and that would have been in fulfillment of his "Son of Man" prophecy, which came about in 70 AD with the destruction of the Jerusalem temple, which would have been recognized after the earlier well known disaster by the Babylonians, as a judgment of God.
. . . but He promised to come back, naturally, and so that every person will see.

Do you mean bodily as in flesh and blood or the celestial body that He had when He ascended? Don't forget that Jesus was transformed from terrestrial to celestial before He ascended back to His Father. There are a lot of different beliefs out there in the Christian field. By the meaning bodily is a big ball game. The Jewish Christians believed that Jesus was not resurrected in the same manner as you may believe. Their understanding was that He was restored to His first estate which was the Word Of God whereas the created human is re born (Resurrected) into a celestial body to house the celestial spirit. Jesus had a preexistence before He became flesh whereas the created human does not. Jesus was celestial and became terrestrial and His restoration was that He then was restored and not re born.
It is also believed by the original Christians that Jesus' image in the flesh is also His image in the celestial body. This also applies to all of the created humans. I'm not trying to knit pick but only show how some Christians may have different teachings.
You may have been taught that.
Aren't we taught that individually, we are the temple of the Holy Ghost?
"Shedding blood" just mans being killed.
I don't believe He had blood because His was shed.

I don't know who you have confidence in. If that sounds judgmental, it isn't. The one that you have confidence in, why do you have confidence?
The heavens rolling up like as scroll, in Revelation is symbolic of an Old Testament style "Last Day" to show what that might look like if it was going to happen.
I am asking because it it written that the sky will be rolled back as a scroll, and tbh that could be as a disrupted 3 day blackout of satelites that are creating a triaxial weave.
The kingdom is here, so what are you going to do yourself to fix those problems?
I can't wait for his Kingdom to come and put an end to all of the crap going on globally.
