Hi Nick:Listen to David's appeal to God after he had sinned committing adultery with Bathsheba:Quote Psa 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 26 2008,08:25)Hi 94, The spirit of God cannot die.Scripture does not say God gave His Spirit to Adam then removed it. Adam was our example of man with natural life, alike to all flesh, being unable to follow the ways of God.We do not follow the natural man but the new Adam, the source for us of eternal life.Hi Niick:I…[Read more]

Hi CO:I know in the following scripture the Apostle Peter is speaking specifically to the Jews who had taken part in crucifying Jesus and had realized what they had done and believed, but all of us have taken part in crucifying Jesus because all of us have sinned.  The scriptures state:Quote Act 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know…[Read more]

Quote (meerkat @ Dec. 24 2008,08:02)Nick It is not just isolated verses that point to disobedience of all and salvation of all after judgement for deeds done in the flesh, it is taking scriptures in context that point to a overall plan of God, and he has revealed it in “types” physical Israel chosen, physical Israel disobedient, physical Israel…[Read more]

Now the consummation is life eonian.23 For the ra…[Read more]

Hi:Many things in the scriptures are difficult to understand, and so, sometimes we like Job do not understand, but this is the attitude that we as Christians need to take as we seek to understand:Quote Job 13:15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
