Christians (Heb 8:10). This shows that the disparity of doctrine amongst
Christians is deliberate and conscious error (Heb 8:10) as the perfect basic spirit of
the Christian (1 John 3:9) and the Holy Ghost within (1 John 3:9) witness
continually to the overall mind (1 John 2:20), thus battling with the mind of the
flesh (Rom 8:7), as to the truth.

The Word is to be understood as in and beyond both time and space, as is God (2
Peter 3:8). It does NOT always follow a sequential order in either space or time.
Changes in time period, location and topic can take place from one word to the
next without introduction often separated by the one word ‘and’ (Genesis 1:1-2,
15-16, 2:7-8, Luke 13:32-33). Even a word such as ‘then’ normally meaning ‘the
next event in sequence’ can in the Word take us backwards, as in the Creation
episode ‘following’ the Psalmist’s plight (Psalms 18:7-15) as this preceded
David’s life (Psalms 18:6). The correct time and place is to be discerned from the
entire Word as is the meaning or definition of any one word (John 1:1, Rev 22:18-
9). The Word is holistic (John 1:1, 10:35), covers the whole of Creation (Genesis
1:1), is written from God’s point of view (John 1:1) and single designations can
thus include multiple sub-categories e.g. Earth can refer to many planets (Genesis
1:1, Heb 1:2).

With the Word the 'past' and 'present' can be the future (Rev 20:10) and the 'future'
the present (John 12:31) in other words an eternal present. Time periods such as
'days' (Luke 13:32) or ‘watches’ of the night are of uncertain time in our reckoning
if God is the subject of the time, actor or time reference involved (Psalms 90:4, 2
Peter 3:8). This is vital in understanding the Creation period (2 Peter 3:5-8). The
same applies to ‘hours’ (Luke 22:53, 58, 59).

The subject of reference can be described differently, figuratively or literally
without any introduction, for example Satan is described as the King of Tyrus
(Ezek 28:12-15).

The Word is not to be taken literally throughout as it itself declares very clearly
(Psalm 78:2) so much so that the entire Word is all one parable (Gen 1:26, Psalm
78:2, Ezek 20:29, Mat 13:34, 22:44, Mark 4:34, John 1:14). The default is that it is
factually true throughout (1 John 5:6) and where it is or is not factually true is to be
discerned by interaction with the Holy Ghost within the believer (1 Cor 2:13). In
fact no biblical literalists actually exist, to be such he/she would have to accept that
Herod was fully a man and fully a, literal, fox with a tail, busy hair, pointed ears -
the lot (Luke 13:32), no such people exist. Therefore it is no good to say - "ah!",
but this is just an 'obvious' expression. It would be easy to retort that Jesus walking
