Heaven? Not Interested.

For starters you think the KJV is the only legitimate translation.

You have no idea how many translation mistakes were made....

And, when you said the following:



If there is no time with God?

A thought requires a point in time to originate.

Now, if God always knew whatever the subject is? Always knew it?
That would be how God's mind works.

His knowing enters time when He makes known what He always was knowing to express what He always knew only to those who live in time.

We were still contemplated in His Mind.

No, Jesus called them mansions.

He is classier than any rich man you ever heard of.

His taste in real estate is out of this world awesome.

Wait til you see the description of them in Rev 21.

It is even where the bride lives.

Actually the word means dwelling place, abode and not mansion which is a mistranslation.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon
STRONGS NT 3438: μόνη

μόνη, μόνης, ἡ (μένω) (from Herodotusdown), a staying, abiding, dwelling, abode: John 14:2; μόνην ποιεῖν (L T TrWH ποιεῖσθαι, as in Thucydides 1, 131; Josephus, Antiquities 8, 13, 7; 13, 2, 1), to make an (one's) abode, παρά τίνιmetaphorically, of God and Christ by their power and spirit exerting a most blessed influence on the souls of believers, John 14:23; see ποιῶ, 1 c.

That is called "language of accommodation."

(Divine) Accommodation (or condescension) is the theological principle that God, while being in His nature unknowable and unreachable, has nevertheless communicated with humanity in a way that humans can understand and to which they can respond."

While I understand the above position I do not think its true. God is knowable and we can seek, search and know God as believers who have the Holy Spirit in us.

John 15:15
No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you.


1 Corinthians 2
these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.

The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. 14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 15 The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, 16 for,

“Who has known the mind of the Lord
so as to instruct him?”
But we have the mind of Christ.

Wrong...

21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

I knew it.

Strongs debunks the KJV.

You openly admit it.
