Rev. 22:19 Book of life or Tree of life?

No, but I will.

According to KJV 2 John 1:10-11 “God speed” is only allowed to be given to a fellow believer.

You gave indication that you were leaving, and I wished you God speed.

HankD </font>[/QUOTE]I detect less than sincerety in your wishing me Godspeed. I used a propective scenario and you jumped the gun, that is where I detected insincerety on your behalf, especially after reading many of your other posts.

I know where "Godspeed" is mentioned in the Bible and the context as well, maybe you should have said "Raca" instead of misusing "Godspeed" the way you did.

I'm sorry to say that a couple of you tend to leap right off topic in an effort to hash out your indifferences to me, congratualations are in order for staying off topic.

 

I am sorry if I misrepresented my quoting per se', I did it in a hurry and see you took it verbatum. I qwill not apologize or repent for something I am not guilty in.

I will have to ask you again to stop stalking me.

If you persist I will be left with no other choice but to take other action.

Good day

 

I took the quotations as verbatim, and couldn't find them. I'd still like to see evidence of people saying some of these things to you, especially this quote: "You just don't want anyone to know what God has to say to them because you say they have to read the KJV."

I am unsure why you think that I am stalking you. The vast majority of my posts are made in other areas, just as the vast majority of your posts do not have me answering you. Feel free to report me as you deem necessary, but I maintain that I have done nothing wrong, especially when you answered me specifcally and we've had several exchanges since then. Why is this stalking now?

 

qs-It's hard not to "stalk" you, your posts are more entertaining than anything on the tube, that's for sure. Thanx!

What I object to is your persistence in demanding I repent. I find this way out of order and you insist on continuing with it I will do more than you are really wanting me to do, and something I would consider against my nature along with my will. You're ushing the issue and out of lione with the thread.

The things I quoted per se' are in a mulititude of threads, I suggest you read every post that is a reply to me directly and you will find what I said for yourself. I won't waste my time any further addressing your request.

If you want to deal with a specific issue at hand then be my guest to start a thread, until then I ask you as a brother in Christ and another BB member to get back on topic.

Thank You

 

You are wrong.

That is your opinion which is also wrong (IMO).

And congratulations to you for following in our footsteps.

I've tried to get you back on topic, you refuse. Your wishing me Godspeed is hypocritical and against the context of scripture.

My life is recorded in the Book of Life. The life that I now live is written in the Lamb's Book of Life. I have the Bible, not a version.

 

News Flash: The KJV or AV is a version of the Bible.

 

Precepts, you lost the debate back on page one.
yet you go on like there is a discussion
here. Would you like some cheese with
your whine?

I still don't remember any response
to my Metaphor argument.

 

Actually the KJV is multiple versions
of the Bible.

I wonder how King James who authorized
the 1611 version of the Bible could have
authorized the 1762 version of the Bible?

 

Yes you did, by going off topic yourself.
Strange but true.

So is mine, Me too. So do I.

Ed, some of us know the difference in a tree and a book, even metaphorically. The difference is found in the perfect harmony of the scritpures which proves that "Tree of life" is a misnomer.

The "Book of Life" contains all men's lives whether lost or redeemed, the difference being the Redeemed have all the handwritinf of ordinances blotted out that were against them, the lost are still under the penalty of the law.

The "Tree of Life" is first mentioned in the Garden of Eden and God made absolyutely NO mention of anyone's names written therein.

Yall are picking on words to establish your arguement, but you throw Bible order and the "first mention" principle to the four winds and slash the throat of common sense.

You declaring victory is sort of, well, silly, just like nearly every one of your posts have proven nothing but your opinion is only your opinion, sadly to the applause by those who follow the same false doctrine of anti-preservation.

</font>[/QUOTE]I guess you do wonder stupid things like that, especially when it is the LORD that allowed King James to authorize the 1611. Then you will say, "Who authorized the 1762?" Then you will still be wondering which is the True Word of God, just like you're doing even now. You'll say again that all "your" versions by your opinion are the preserved Word, but some of us know the Lord is not "deceived", neither is His Spirit the "spirit".

I choose to keep from wandering in your decision of wonder.

HankD </font>[/QUOTE]Glad to see you back on topic and not leading others astray.

My name is written in a Book, not my intitials carved in a "tree".

 

The tree of life was created by God (Gen. 2:9), and anybody who ate of its fruit would live forever (Gen. 3:22). After the fall, sinful humanity was cut off from the tree of life (Gen. 3:24). Because of Christ's death upon the cross, those who have faith in Him have their sins forgiven and are granted access to the tree of life (Rev. 22:14). The warning at the end of the Book of Revelation is that "if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book" (Rev. 22:19). From beginning to end it's all perfectly consistent and perfectly understandable to those who have "ears to hear." And common sense should tell anybody with basic reading comprehension that the "tree of life" doesn't have anything to do with written names.

 

Revelation 22:19 (NLT):
And if anyone removes any of the words of
this preophetic book, God will remove
that persons's SHARE in the
tree of life and in the holy city
that are described in this book.

The metaphor is complete, there is no
"name carved in a tree".
there you go purèeing your metaphors
again. Here is how it works:

1. "name in book" is a metaphor for:
this situation is appropriate to you.
2. "share in the tree" is a metaphor for:
this situation is appropriate to you.
3. "tree of life" is a metaphor for eternal life
4. "book of life" is a metaphor for eternal life

The metaphors point in the same direction
either translation. Still like it was
back on page one.
