That's a total cop out in my opinion. Are you setting these parameters yourself? It seems like it from my point of view.

But wouldn't that mean the first sentence is correct too?

You missed my point apparently.
Did you forget that the first sentence contained "in my opinion" at the end of it? So if it is my opinion then it is correct, just as my point of view is correct.

Also, your post implies that you believe him. How can you be so sure he's not just making it up? I say there are no parameters for anything. Do you agree with me as well?edit on 27-5-2013 by 3NL1GHT3N3D1 because: (no reason given)

I was listening to a preacher a few weeks ago speaking about the New Jerusalem. He stated that most of the saved will be outside the gates of the city because of taking salvation but not taking the character.
Some people like the country better. It's God's country after all.
If all the people were to be in the city, then who would play with the dogs who can never go in. I like dogs.

My point of view is my opinion. The two phrases were used synonymously.
Again, I say that god does not set parameters for anything. Are you as willing to accept my opinion as you are his?

GOD / DOG. As in humans being the mirror image of God.
God had a stern warning for the 'experts' who hide behind what they know and keep it from others. They are called the builders (Masons) who reject the Chief Cornerstone. The cornerstone of Christ is giving. Taking is the mark of the thief.
Matthew 23:13
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.
This is the outer temple that is holding the Spirit in bondage to the material world. Unknowingly, there are many who are willing participants with the seductions of unseen powers and principalities all round us.
Have you ever seen this cartoon:
The destruction mentioned in the OP is a cycle allowing the Spirit to return. Typically, the awakening happens shortly before the fire comes to take away the chaff. The wheat is stored in the barn.
Isaiah 19
19 But your dead will live, Lord;
their bodies will rise—
let those who dwell in the dust
wake up and shout for joy—
your dew is like the dew of the morning;
the earth will give birth to her dead.
20 Go, my people, enter your rooms
and shut the doors behind you;
hide yourselves for a little while
until his wrath has passed by.
21 See, the Lord is coming out of his dwelling
to punish the people of the earth for their sins.
The earth will disclose the blood shed on it;
the earth will conceal its slain no longer.
Water puts out fire.

You are mistaking the image as us. We are not the image, we are the caster of the image. Our physical bodies are not our true bodies, but only a shell that contains our spiritual bodies.
We are the invisible god, the One who is unseen. We can not see that which sees because we only see what we cast. What is behind the image? God. We are what is behind the image, the invisible spirit/God.

I'm talking about no parameters at all. As I said, God does not set parameters.
