Nick,
You must misunderstand my post as logic is not the determinate. The determinate is whether you live by the flesh or the Spirit.
Nick,
Yes, that is true.
Logic is a tool and it is not important except whether it is used according to the desires of the flesh or the desires of the Spirit.
Hi,
If face value understanding of scripture is eternally valid we should all be eating Jesus.
Get wisdom.
Hi t8,
You believe scripture.
But you interpret the words as coming from a man and not the indwelling Spirit.
Hi ,
Micah 5
But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
who are too little to be among the clans of Judah,
from you shall come forth for me
one who is to be ruler in Israel,
whose coming forth is from of old,
from ancient days.
3 Therefore he shall give them up until the time
when she who is in labor has given birth;
then the rest of his brothers shall return
to the people of Israel.
4 And he shall stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great
to the ends of the earth.
5 And he shall be their peace.
The Christ was born in Bethlehem.
Of course he was not anointed till the Jordan.
Hi,
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.
Be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
But the natural man receiveth not the the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Therefore if any be in Christ he is a new creature; old things have passed away; be hold all things are become new.
The god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not.
The new man needs a new mind, not one that is restricted by human rudiments like logic.
Hi,
And be not conformed to this world; but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable and perfect will of God.
The world offers logic which restricts vision and deceives us.
Arise, shine for thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
Hi,
2Peter 3.8
But , beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Also ps 90
Legalistic wordsmiths latch onto this as a definitive statement but it is a principle.
Time is different in the eyes of God and not restrictive.
The days in Genesis may well have been millions of years.
Hi,
Another problem is the limitations of the English language.
In Greek there are three main words translated as LIFE in English.
Only one is used when eternal life is meant- ZOE 2222 as in Jn 1.4 for example.
and in rom 8.11 there is another word Zoopoeia 2227.
Nick,
You have a point about the limitations of English which drastically different from both Hebrew and Koine Greek that they are from one another. In my experience all human languages are limited.
Hi,
The biggest problem is tha folks do not believe Jesus.
He told us God spoke through him and we should not be surprised as God spoke through the prophets-Heb 1
So the unbelievers ascribe the teachings of Jesus to himself and finish up with doctrines like preexistence.
Wke up folks and believe the one you call Lord.
NICK…..Well said, they do not truly understand that God the Father actually was speaking “through” Jesus and was abiding “IN” him. IT was not Jesus that said ” destory this temple and in three days I shal raise it up., That was God The Father, first person speaking through Jesus’ mouth, via the ANOINTING SPIRIT, he re ieved at the JORDAN RIVER.
Peace and love to you and yours. ……..gene.
