I do believe the Scriptures Ed, but it seems not as you believe. So who should I listen to? You or the Lord? Should I perhaps say to the Lord “Ed seems to know more than You Lord, so forgive me if I don't listen to You any more.”

Or did I misunderstand you Mike?

Quote (mikeboll64 @ July 11 2010,12:11)Hi All,Even if I strongly disagreed with the pre-existence of the one we know as Jesus Christ, I wouldn't be so lame as to support my belief with insinuations that God couldn't have caused him to exist without a womb or mother or whatever.Please, take yourselves outside of the debate for a minute and think…[Read more]

I shake my head in wonder. Apples have a skin, the edible fruit and the core. But that's not such a good example.You are one, yet made up of body soul and spirit, so there are three parts to you, much like the apple. We are made in the likeness of God, who is Father, Word and Spirit. Obviously there are some differences between God and us, so…[Read more]

What's your point Ed?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 10 2010,21:21)Hi Oxy, Have you not yet read of the finger of God?Labels are now your only dogma defences?Nick, I have read the finger of God, thanks. But don't really see what difference it makes. The Holy Spirit is still the Holy Spirit who conveys to us the things from the Father.

Our Father, our Daddy.. what a wonderful thing that Almighty God, the very God of love, is our Daddy. Lift up your heart to embrace the Daddy who gave His best for us.

I'm not sure when the Son was begotten. Is one begotten at conception or at birth? Either way the begotten Son was born of Mary and was the Word made flesh, who later (at the Jordan) received the Holy Spirit.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 10 2010,16:44)Hi Oxy, If you did not have a spirit you would be dead.So the Spirit OF GOD is not a being.Nick, what has my having a spirit got to do with the nature of the Holy Spirit?The very definition of the word “spirit” is a being, not physical, eg ghost, demon, Holy Spirit.

I mean Jesus was born with a body, a body of flesh. Hence it says in Scripture that the Word became flesh. At the Jordan Jesus (in the flesh) received the Holy Spirit in much the same way as we receive the Holy Spirit.

No problem Mike. I will try and clarify it for you. The soul is your basic identity and includes your knowledge, your reasoning, your decision making and your personality.The spirit of man includes the conscience, instinct, “gut feeling”, 6th sense etc.At death the spirit returns to God, but the soul will only go to Heaven if salvation has been…[Read more]
