Quote (Lightenup @ Feb. 19 2012,16:53)Marty,Read how differently an older Greek manuscript is translated in Mat 19:16And someone came to Him and said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?” 17And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into…[Read more]

The Spirit of Christ is the anointed Word of God that Jesus obeyed even unto death on the cross. Quote 1Cr 2:9 But as it is written,…[Read more]

Quote (thehappyman @ Feb. 15 2012,08:38)Hi Pierre ,              Did Jesus walk through the door ? What kind of body did He have ? or was it open ? Hi Brother:And so, are you saying that he did not have a physical body?He also asked Thomas to put his finger into his wounds. Did he not?Love in Christ,Marty

Hi Kathi:Quote Marty,you said:Quote Kathi: each of these statements is not an alternate way of saying the “only begotten Son”. Each of these statements identifies him as the “Son” of God.

Quote (942767 @ Feb. 13 2012,13:14)Hi:I believe that Jude may be referring to those who were under the Law of Moses when he speaks of “the body of Moses”, and Enoch and Elijah were taken to heaven in their mortal body, but they have not yet received their spiritual body, and so, they have not inherited the kingdom of God as yet.  Where they are…[Read more]
