Quote (Tim Kraft @ Jan. 18 2011,21:11)Irene: Are you saying that that in your opinion, the New Testament, where Jesus makes no distinction between Jew,Gentile,Bond,Free,Male,or Female or any person that believes, is actually a covenant that witholds the spirit from certain people, IE: Israel or Jews? How about races of people? Colors? I believe…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Jan. 18 2011,20:22)Irene,You may agree with Gene but you do not agree with the following two scriptures who speak of the ghosts of martyrs that will come to life at the time set by God.  There is no mention of ghost demons in scripture.  There is mention of ghosts; which are the souls of the dead.  Jesus speaks of ghosts in the pa…[Read more]

Quote (gollamudi @ Jan. 18 2011,23:04)Quote (Baker @ Jan. 18 2011,21:33) Good compilation of verses to support Jesus' words as God's words. I wonder what does it mean to say that 'word became flesh' if Jesus was speaking God's words than his own? I think he is a mere spokesperson rather I can say he is the mouth of God.Peace to youAdamYou are…[Read more]

The beggar waqs meek and He will inherit the earth…. The last part of that parable will be next……Thank you for your understanding…Peace Irene
