Sounds like a lot of presumption there Berean,

The Spirit bears good fruit.

Hi Desiretruth,

We walk by faith and not by sight.

Truly truly I say to you , unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.

So understanding follows obedience to the command that we repent and be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ and receive the promised Sprit of Truth.

Folks want to nderstand first and stand arguing outside…[Read more]

What I said, I said and I’m not going back.
I rely on the Word of God.
The Spirit shows me when it’s literal or when it’s not, and the sword of the Spirit IS THE WORD OF GOD…AND SO THE WORD OF GOD IS EXPLAINED BY THE WORD OF GOD….

🙏

Hi Desiretruth,

God has provided us with His teachings through the men of old and He has given us the keys to unlocking their meaning through Jesus Christ and his brothers who share in his Spirit.

There are no promises that all would understand and agree.
It requires faith.

find it.

The Spirit of Christ was one with the Spirit of God.

The Spirit of Christ in him expressed the longing to return to that complete unity.

Hi Berean,

If your role is to sell the SDA you are not achieving it.

Your masters offer death and not life in the Spirit.

Jesus was God? So he isn’t? True.

If you had the Spirit you would understand that men are never God.

“God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.”

“God is at work in you to will and to do.”

Hi Berean,

try your literalism on this

” Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood you will not have life in you”

Berean,

You say you speak the eternal truth?

But without the Spirit you cannot understand spiritual language.

Listen to the Spirit.

Jesus was God in the biginning, he was with the Father.

.All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

Gene is exactly right and the passages I was just reviewing expand on what he said.

Romans 8:29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he…[Read more]

I don’t believe a word you tell me that is a big lie. At least make the effort to give valid biblical support to your theory.

Hi Nick,

Let me expand a bit on my position,

I gave 1 Corinthians 12 and it goes on to say in verse 13, “For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.”

Indeed people were called by God receiving gifts of the Spirit at Pentecost, being bap…[Read more]

Berean…….We can all say the same thing,  “God glorify me with the Glory I had with you from the beginning of creation.”  ,  we are all to be given this glory,  need proof?   Scripture says …Pas8:4-6……> “what is man , (mankind) , that you that you are mindful of him?, and the son of man, that you visit him? For you have made him (mankind) a li…[Read more]

Hi Nick,

Yes, at Pentecost people received gifts of the Spirit for service to God to continue His work which had been done by His Spirit in Jesus.

1 Corinthians 15:4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in…[Read more]

@Jodi,
My persistence is a demand for truth, I am finding I have wasted 40 years following doctrines of man and not what God said. This isn’t the X-Files where “the truth is out there” as we argue over our interpretation of the bible; God told us HIS simple truth and we need to stop complicating what HE said.

Jonah is a prime example; Jesus made…[Read more]

Hi to all

GENE BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE, PART 1

Gene came to a turning point in his life and realized that the way he was living needed to change. As he drove home from work one day, he asked Jesus to come into his life and take over. Slowly, the Lord began to work. Gene and his wife began to occasionally attend a…[Read more]

This is spiritual language so put your logic spectacles  away.

No

And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which👉 I had with thee before the world was.👈 

The Truth IS There.

In the biginning,before the World was Jesus preexisted with the Father….

🙏

The Word was with God and the Word was God.

God is Spirit.

This is spiritual language so put your logic spectacles  away.

“God is not a man that He would lie.”

And there are no godmen in scripture.
