Because he had stolen Salvation which is the crown of victory/life from all 7 heavens he had his head in, Brothers, Sisters, Priests, Elders, even Apsotles. "We wrestle not against flesh and blood but things that desire to rule in high places" which are these 7 heavens.
Can you see now that Genesis too is connected to this revelation? Connected to each and everyone of our personal lives?

So, your definition of the "7 heavens" represents different levels of men? I'm still trying to get a grasp on your definition of what these "7 heavens" represent.

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say here, but I look forward to your interpretation and explanation of it.

Are the “errors” and “contradictions” which literal readers of the Bible argue about really intended to send a hidden message? For example, isn’t the perceived error of Matthew 27:9-10 in which Jeremiah is credited with a statement from Zechariah, really intended to create an allusion to Jeremiah 38:10-13 in which Jeremiah “hangs” himself?
Also, are not many words in the Bible disguised by altered spellings to hide their true meaning? For example, does the “Field of Blood” (Ara. Akeldama) in Matthew 27:8 really refer to the "Akademia"?
And finally, is it not true that time and place elements in the Bible should not be taken literally? In other words, they have hidden intent and the events that they supposedly detail may have taken place at a time and place distant from what they indicate to the literal reader.

Anybody moreso who bears a moreso profound Imprint of the Holy Spirit Written into them would have been strongly opposed to the breach of the first Command regarding all those masses that bow and worship to that graven image of a human.
This is the difference between what you have been taught and what it says in scripture.
These are "gifts" not "men" and they are placed in men. Just as the Christ gift was placed in Jesus, without Christ, Jesus would not have been who he was. It was his mind that made him. They are different levels of thinking, "Godly thinking" is a Gift given by God this is "the measure of the gift." Please re-read my previous posts about the 7 heavens, it might make better sense now.
Geneis too would have to be taken apart symbolically as I have done here for you. But here is the overal message. In the begining the mind of men had no shape or form of godliness, it was full of misunderstanding and darkness. Then God said let there be light (understanding) Later after all this wonderful work was done which is the testimony (separating the waters above from the waters below) the teachings of god and the teachings of men. Evil presented itself to destroy everything as it does in revelations.
Are you telling me that you are a fully observant Jew while at the same time professing Jesus?
I posted previous with Christ's Word regarding Torah and the Law, to then again maintain position.
Like the image of a woman or a man being executed in the Christian churches?

Only the Holy Spirit can Teach which elements of the Bible are symbolic, literal or can apply as both for a deeper spiritual meaning, part of the mysteries referenced.

Your experience in life is different so you've built a different house than TheBrother. Would you argue your foundation is different? Why does it matter that the house you've built looks different if your foundations are the same?
Are you telling me that you are a fully observant Jew while at the same time professing Jesus? If you are then I think that for the sake of honesty, you should confess to what you are. If you are not, then by what right do you criticise me, since I only am articulating the same thing that all mainstream Christians believe, that the whole, old, written and codified so-called Law of Moses was done away with and replaced by the Law of Jesus which is written on our hearts and that we are given promptings by the Holy Spirit to live accordingly?
I don't see the OP's attitude being any different than a lot of people have had who have posted on this forum over the last few years. I kind of got over having negative initial reactions and to see how things play out over a longer period of time.
I find it interesting your focus in posting is on heavily upon me in 'priority' . . .
I did not say that it was given at birth. You seem to be looking at the word, law, as meaning something like the Torah, being a big book full of stories. "The Law" in a New Testament context would be more a metaphor of right and wrong that we know with a healed conscience through God's spirit.
--If the Law is now entirely written into our hearts from birth after Christ by Grace, then why do we even require the Biblical Word of a New Testament . . .
It's not for some nefarious purpose. I make my posts as a form of reply so that the link to the post I am replying to shows up. That way if anyone wonders what I am talking about, they can link to it. If you do a "quote", it copies the entire post but gives a useless link to a previous post, not the one that you are replying to. So I post "reply", then add the parts of the post that I am replying to. I leave out the parts that I am not addressing. You can post yourself parts of your earlier post to make it in context if you don't like how I copy and paste.
I noted in the last session you heavily edited out several replies to leave only two,
. . . . . .
to make my reply in tern to you appear sterner . . .

John 13:35
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
You, on the other hand, seem to have a brainwashing that is becoming all too familiar to me that never seems to end well. I tend to be more supportive of free thinking over dogmatism (like being a fully observant "Jew" while professing Jesus).
