       RETURN VERSES
       By: guest58 Date: June 21, 2019, 1:39 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       1 Peter 2:25  For ye were as sheep going astray: but are now
       returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.  Well, to
       return, one must have been there before, at least, according to
       the normal use of the word. Therefore, in this verse, it would
       be normal to infer that the sheep that had gone astray, were, at
       one time part of the Shepherd's flock but had strayed away from
       HIS care. Since I am sure that the Shepherd was not negligent,
       the straying away from HIS care must involve some rebellion.
       Therefore, it is normally obvious that Peter is writing to some
       apostatized (gone astray) Christians (people of the flock). It
       is also normally apparent that what he was writing is intended
       for every new convert in every age since.
       Therefore, it seems normal that the Holy Spirit would have us
       believe that all of the Church has personally apostatized from
       Christ prior to their conversion in this life. Since we are
       conceived as sinners, it is easy to see that we apostatized from
       Christ before our conception and that is why we are sinners at
       our birth.
       I think that Peter bore added witness to this fact in 1 Peter
       1:3  Blessed be the GOD and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
       ...which ...hath begotten us again unto a lively hope...
       Just when was the first time you were begotten by GOD? And when
       did you get unbegotten? Well, unless you are one of those
       earthly backslidden types, the only time such an un-begetting or
       rebellion could have taken place is prior to your conception.
       And since Peter is writing to the whole Church rather than to
       just the backslidden types, he must be referring to a
       preconception rebellion and the straying of HIS elect since that
       time, which straying or rebellion ends only upon conversion to
       obedience unto holiness to that Shepherd, that is, upon being
       born in Christ (begotten) again.

       That you have never seen an interpretation of our pre-earth
       existence in the bible does NOT mean it is not there when it is
       just as possible that our being created on earth bias has taken
       over as the ONLY interpretation. A verse that can be interpreted
       to infer our pre-earth existence but which is ignored because of
       our created on earth bias is called a hint, just like the Divine
       suffering Messiah was hinted at throughout the scripture but not
       recognized due to the bias of the rabbis.
       Take the most well known verse that hints at our pre-earth life:
       Jeremiah 1:5  "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
       before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a
       prophet to the nations."  Everyone when they first read this
       says, "Hey, does this say we were alive before we were in the
       womb?" and quickly learns that not only does it not mean this
       but is a hated Mormon doctrine. The obvious meaning that is
       rejected due to a theological position is a hint. It is obvious
       that the verse can have this meaning but theology has chosen to
       ignore it for another meaning...GOD only knew us pre-earth in
       HIS imagination...otherwise it upsets orthodox  doctrine...that
       is, doctrine is used to find a verse's meaning  rather than the
       meaning being found in the verse to create doctrine...
       That all verses that are hints to pce have been interpreted as
       something else for centuries means that you can read them and
       never even see that they might contain a hint to pce, nor can
       you find a commentary that accepts our pre-conception existence
       though the best will mention it. Like Ps 9:17 The wicked do turn
       back / return to Sheol, All nations forgetting God.  Going to
       Sheol is the result of a judgment. The implication is clear. The
       wicked are punished by being sent to Sheol instead of heaven.
       The word is translated as return 391 times by the biased KJV,
       just not here in this verse.
       TURN BACK; Strong’s H7725 shűb - shoob
       A primitive root; to turn back
       to return, turn back
       • to turn back
       • to return, come or go back
       • to return unto, go back, come back
       English Standard Version
       The wicked shall RETURN to Sheol, all the nations that forget
       God.
       Berean Study Bible
       The wicked will RETURN to Sheol—all the nations who forget God.
       New American Standard Bible
       The wicked will RETURN to Sheol, Even all the nations who forget
       God.
       IF the wicked RETURN to Sheol, logic and ordinary use of
       language indicates that they were there before but left. We have
       humans coming from Sheol and then returning back to there. We
       also have Christ telling us that the good seed, the people of
       the kingdom are sown into the world by the Son of Man and the
       people of the evil one are sown into the world by the devil,
       Matt 13:36-39. Where were they before they were sown? And sown
       cannot mean to be created as the devil does this sowing also and
       he can't create people. Does this verse refer to the moving of
       people from Sheol attested to by Ps 9:17 and Psalm 139:11-15?
       How can it be when orthodoxy has already declares it means
       something else and cannot be a reference hint to our pce. And we
       got the King James Bible to keep us straight (or to hide the
       fact of PCE?) about the orthodox interpretation, that is: The
       wicked shall be turned into sheol, and all the nations that
       forget God. ignoring to mention it was a return to where they
       were before.
       Now if there were only two or three verses like this ordinary
       hermeneutics demands that they be accepted as a witness but what
       if there were in fact dozens, all suppressed? People generally
       are not willing to do the work to parse the verses to see if a
       hint could be hidden in scripture even if I provide them - just
       too many spilling apples!!

       Death is a Return:
       While I have read all the interpretations of how our deaths
       being called a return to GOD  does not mean we came from HIM in
       some pre-existent way, I think that this interpretation is
       forced onto the verses by a preconceived need for us to be
       created on earth. Without the bias, no one would think twice
       about using return in these verses as a "going back to where we
       came from."
       Return means:    “to go or come back; revert; bring, give, send,
       hit, put, or pay back; a going or coming back, a happening
       again.”
       Job 1:21 And Job said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb and
       naked shall I return thither.   Do we really think Job is
       planning on returning  to where he was born from, his mother's
       womb or is this a poetic way of saying he is going back to where
       he came from, ie, Sheol. If it does not mean that, what else can
       it mean?  Certainly not the "GOD's illogical analogy" of  the
       Pulpit Commentary  Verse 21. [quote] And said, Naked came I out
       of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither. There is
       some difficulty in the word "thither," since no man returns to
       his mother's womb (John 3:4), at death or otherwise. The
       expression must not be pressed. It arises out of the analogy,
       constantly felt and acknowledged, between "mother" earth and a
       man's actual mother… [/quote]
       Better is Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
       naked shall I return thither; not into his mother's womb in a
       literal sense, which was impossible, John 3:4, but to the earth,
       and to the dust of it, Genesis 3:19, pointing to it with his
       finger, on which he now lay; meaning that he should go to the
       place appointed for him, the grave, the house of all living, Job
       30:23, and so the Targum here has it...
       using those well established scholars of the Holy Spirit, the
       Jewish commentaries, as his resource.
       If he is only talking of becoming dust again, what about his
       spirit, the alive part of him that will be resurrected some day?
       Do you think his decaying body was more important to him as his
       identity, his "I", than his spirit? Do you talk that way about
       your clothes? But even to accept this as Gill would have us
       believe, does not answer the return of our spirits to GOD at
       death:
       
       Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it
       was: and the spirit shall return unto GOD who gave it. You know
       what I think of this verse.  It supplies a description of what
       can happen to a person's spirit after death, which part was not
       so plain in the previous reference to Job.
       
       The body returns to being basic elements: dust, as it was, that
       state it was in before it was alive; and this person's spirit
       returns to GOD, that state it was in before it was alive.
       Therefore, “gave it” must mean “gave it life - sent it to live”
       rather than “gave it existence - created it then”. “Unto GOD”
       must mean “to the place - state where THEy are.”
       
       If the spirit did not exist before conception, then it could not
       return anywhere, that is, “unto GOD”. It would have never been
       there before. Only with preconception existence can a spirit
       return to be with GOD, without making “return” mean something
       else.

       Well I do know what you mean...though I was not so terrified as
       angry 35 yrs ago when this was all presented to me. I was still
       a somewhat new Christian and as yet unrepentant but looking at
       Christianity more than anywhere else for the truth... But the
       calling of the Spirit to accept it was immense and now I have
       the help to go public.
