Tony Says (to which ofcourse DHK agrees)
Someone needs a course in biblical interpretation, history, and the geographic layout of the place of crucifixion.

I’m sure Jesus said, “Go therefore get a degree and learn heumectrics and obtain ordination papers by learning from men” I know that’s gotta be in there somewhere, can you point this out to me?
Tony quotes Seth3 on THIS...
OUR MINDS Killed Him why do you think Gogaltha is called, "the place of the Skull"?
Seth3 explains
I think its more important to get “Spiritual understanding” by comparing Spiritual with spiritual as Paul himself says.. Because the Natural mind cannot receive the things of “THE SPIRIT”.
Well you have to Tell God that who defines what and where Jerusalem is SPIRITUALLY here...
John 19:17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called THE PLACE OF THE SKULL, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
1Col 1:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and ENEMIES IN YOUR MIND by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
Rev 11:8 And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the GREAT CITY, which SPIRITUALLY CALLED SODOM AND EGYPT, WHERE ALS

UR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED.
(Hint- He was crucified in Jerusalem in the natural BUT there seems to show a SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING HERE.
Tony also says,
Also, this statement is gnostic in its essence. This whole thread is filled with allegorizing the Word, making it of no effect or authority.

1Corinth 1:17… to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
1Corinth 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, [even] the hidden [wisdom], which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
1Corinth 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
Col 1:9 that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
Tony says,
When you do that there is no possibility of discussion because the one who allegorizes the Scripture has already taken the liberty to make the Word say whatever they want.

God teaches and scripture is pretty clear its Spiritual words expressing Spiritual truths. Unless you are as confused (or as certain as these)
John 7:52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? SEARCH (The scriptures) AND LOOK (At the natural): for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
1Corinth 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.
If anyone could read and understand scriptures you wouldn’t need the Mind of Christ then would we?
God bless
