I've heard of “God the Son,” but I've never heard of, “Jesus is the God of the resurrection.” That is a new one to me! If you will especially focus on Acts, you will find that God (the Father) is indeed the God of the resurrection. Paul's testimony is also that the Father is the God of the resurrection. In fact, this is Paul's main thrust -…[Read more]

Jesus was not allowed to see decay. We will decay. David, Moses and everyone else is dust now. When we are raised, we will be given a new “body.” Interesting subject, indeed.

The “inner” man of Jesus versus the “outer” man of Jesus – can you separate the two, really? While on earth you cannot do that. When we are resurrected, we will be the “inner” man – made new. Our flesh will be destroyed; returning to dust. Jesus did not return to dust, however. That is an interesting point, isn't it? Hmmmm……I'm going to…[Read more]

In the 2 Cor. passage it says that Paul “pleaded” with the Lord. Not “prayed” to the Lord. But at any rate, the Lord answers him!Jesus told us to pray to the Father. That is what I do. However, I also pray to Jesus sometimes, too. I don't see any scripture that prohibts this? Is there?

PrayerWhen in doubt….do what Jesus did. Jesus prayed to the Father – “…..forgive us ….”

In order for Jesus to be the only begotten of God, it stands to reason that God provided the “seed.” Too bad they didn't have the capability of DNA testing back in Jesus' day. I can see it now: Mary and Joseph are anxiously waiting in the Doctor's office. Jesus is about two, playing at Joseph's feet. They are awaiting the test results that…[Read more]

Tim,I grew up in a small town, too. We attended one of the only churches there, and it happened to be the Assembly of God church. I would have a very hard time attending that church now. But I also know how it feels to not be a part of a physical body of Christ. It can get lonely, at times. I just recently found some Church of God folks who…[Read more]

God's spirit is given to us as a “deposit.” When we believed in Christ we were “sealed” with the precious holy spirit of God. These were given so that we know our inheritance is secure. Ephesians 1 and others.Can we lose that seal, deposit, guarantee, and inheritance if we walk away? Isn't a guarantee a guarantee? I've always wondered this.…[Read more]

t8 wrote:So if we are sons and will inherit such things, is it possible that Yeshua also has/had these things.***************************************************I think your question is twofold. Having read up on you a bit, I know that you believe in a pre-existence of Jesus in some form other than just a plan or part of God. And if I am…[Read more]

t8 wrote:When we are raised, we will have full rights as sons and daughters as you say. So are we sons of God because we have flesh or a spirit body?*************************************************************We are the adopted sons of God because of WHO and WHAT Jesus is.Jesus came to reconcile us back to God. He is the bridge, so to speak.…[Read more]

He was OF GOD'S BODY (literally). Adam was a son of God. But Adam was not begotten – he was created. Adam did not have a…[Read more]

So, two names written on foreheads. Intersting. What about the Holy Spirit? The third person of the Trinity gets no respect, I tell ya!

I chatted with my husband over this baptism concern tonight and he said, “Come on! Let's get in the hot tub and I'll dunk you under the name of Jesus only!” Ha! We both laughed…..but I'm tempted to do it. I really want to follow the Lord. I really did think I was going to be baptized in the name of Jesus only. When we had our meetings…[Read more]

WJ wrote: I see.So the Lord showed you the definition of “pride” is when someone dosnt “Submit to your doctrine or belief” then they are proud. HMMM?****************************************************************I prayed, and then came to a conclusion myself regarding pride. Re read my post!It exhausts me to interact with you, WJ. You can read…[Read more]

Not3in1John tells us who this “Eternal life” is.Jn 5:20…….This the true God and *Eternal life*___WJ, I think you got the wrong verse here, maybe? I read John 5:20 in the KJV and it doesn't say Jesus is “the true God and eternal life?”We have eternal life in Jesus Christ. But I think you are confusing the “Giver” and the “Gift.” Romans 6:23:…[Read more]

Good morning! Thank you, t8, for pointing out so well that WJ “sees what he wants to see.” I prayed about this last night and came to the conclusion that pride is an enemy towards the things of God. Pride will not allow you to admit that you are wrong, and it will not let you ask for forgiveness – for sure. Pride continues to stir……pride…[Read more]

Ha…..it's good to laugh at yourself every now and then,isn't it?. It just dawned on me why it irritates me when WJ does his “tit-for-tat” routine. It bothers me because I do it too, and that has always bugged me about myself Oh, pride! Forgive me, WJ? It's who we are. I guess I'll just quit pointing it out and join in the fun …

Grasped your point?I dont think you grasped mine!********Nanny-nanny-boo-boo to you, too! Ha! I'm kidding, of course. You just always seem to need to defend yourself. It's kind of like my kids say, “I know you are, but what am I?” sort of thing. Isn't the fact that I am going to ponder what you have said good enough without the jabs? I…[Read more]

But no he is not the Father he is the 2nd person of the Godhead.*****************Typical response from someone who follows traditions and documents of men!WJ – this language you are speaking is not even Biblical – has that dawned on you? What is this 2nd person? What is this godhead? Where can I find this truth you follow in scripture. If you…[Read more]

Not3in1Make up your mind.Everything is everything. All power is All power and Jesus has it. You ever think of how much power that is?**********WJ – obviously you cannot grasp my point. Do me the honor of pondering it for a while and see if anything comes to you? And I will ponder “how much power” Jesus has.
