Hi Joe,

You always give a lot of scripture, but I don't see any scripture on that last paragraph you wrote. Could you put down the scripture as to where you got that from?
Thank you.


Peace and Love
Iris

G622
ἀπόλλυμι
apollumi
ap-ol'-loo-mee
From G575 and the base of G3639; to destroy fully (reflexively to perish, or lose), literally or figuratively: - destroy, die, lose, mar, perish.

I guess the short answer is Jesus came to save those who otherwise would always remain perished and destroyed and give them a new perfect life.

This present life in the flesh is not to be held on to, it is imperfect, corruptible and brief, even in the best case scenario. We are admonished to aspire to life in Christ, in His Spirit, which will be perfect, incorruptible and immortal (after the resurrection).

His Peace to you,

Joe

Joe, What I think you are saying, is that until the Spirit enters us and begins to open our spiritual eyes and ears, each and everyone of us was lost, wandering aimlessly from pillar to post in search of something unknown. However, once we are "found" by the Spirit, we begin to see our spiraling trails in the sand and think fool that I was. God was with me all the while.

Perhpas Lost is being not yet found.

Just my thoughts,

Your brother in Christ,

Yes Darren,

Some in this life/age the rest in the next.

Ray explains this in detail in many of his articles.

His Peace to you,

Joe

He knows where we are and why, it is humanity that knows not where they are or why until He reveals it. In His time and season Brother.

Peace,

Act 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: [/b] and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. 

 
2Cr 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 


scales falling from eyes

any animal that has scales??  that blinds?? that deceives

 
Gen 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou [art] cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
