Spiritual Death ,The Remedy, The Restoration of Sacred Space

Listen my friend,
You do not get to tell everyone what is orthodox as if everyone is beholden to you. You are quite often wrong. You sit there saying this is wrong and that is wrong, as if everyone is waiting for your input.
As you suggest all the time...start your own thread. You have done nothing here but try to undermine yet another thread.
Start your own thread. What you are offering is not welcome here. You are constantly off topic.
Iconoclast is not the topic, Sacred space is.

 

It is the place of the Divine-human encounter.

Here is a biblical example;
Gen28:
10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.

11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.

12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

13 And, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;

14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said,
Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not.

17 And he was afraid, and said,
How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.

18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.

19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.


It is the place of the Divine, Human, interaction.
First Adam lost it, The Last Adam restores the Divine Human interaction, the open communion leading to seeing the Lord face , to face.
Hebrews9:
23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

In the english it says appear 3x...
in the greek, 3 different forms of the word;

vs24 he always was there, but appeared like the sun appears in the morning
vs 26> he shall appear as an advocate, like a lawyer in the court room,

vs28> he shall appear face to face

Another example if the transfiguration;
Matthew 17 King James Version (KJV)
17 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.

 

Yes....the first Adam fell resulting in our complete alienation from the life of God.
The last Adam raises man above Angel's and by the indwelling Spirit enables us to be conformed to the image of the Son.
Hebrews 9 and ten speaks of the confidence we can have now it prayer, and the Covenant certainty of our eternal intimate relationship with our Lord and master, by virtue of our saving Union with Christ.

The word place is employed because in redemptive history God would have times and places designed to meet with men, the mercy seat being front and center, with only the High Priest going beyond the veil.
The whole book of Hebrews is written as an exhortation culminating with the promise of never being forsaken by God...Heb13:5-20.

 

Hebrews 9:23 is a key text in showing the link in virtually every aspect of the work of the Servant of The Lord being demonstrated in type and shadow so we can connect the dots to the heavenly reality of the eternal restoration of Sacred Space.
Far from being pagan or gnostic this is the core of biblical revelation.

 

#5 lol

The individual biblical. Dots are the core of the ology scattered throughout the Bible. When some of the material was offered to you you scoffed at it and called it spam you and another poster thought of it as spam but if you going to think like that you're going to get very little ahead of anyone offering of Truth for you
