Kathi,The Sheppard of Hermas on the other hand, is regarded as genuine, considered canonical scripture by the earliest church, highly valued by the earliest Christians.In Hermas, God is one.

Really Kathi. We have scriptures that have been sent by God around the world in fullfillment of prophecy.Some think they have found hidden secrets, that no-one else knows or can read.They dont know what these writings are, or where they have come from. all they have to go on is the internet. They flash a nice smile and charm people with kindness…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ June 25 2011,15:59)To all,In one context it is the spirit that inherits the reign of God and not any kind of body but I have doubts that is the context being used in 2 Corinthians.  I did not want to addresss that particular issue beyond pointing out that it does not state “heaven”, “enter”, or the types of flesh and blood.Sorry…[Read more]

Terrarica you have to look at the original words which were Hebrew.The closest you will get to the original words and their original meanings is the YLT (Youngs Literal Translation) – and you will see in your list – that in the YLT it is Zealous. Zealous in a Dictionary means this…zealous – active interest excitement and enthusiasm. -passionate,…[Read more]

Ed, Pentecost, but not The Day of The Lord which is in 2nd Peter 3, the return of Christ, which hasn't happened yet, but it will, burning like an oven, and the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings Malachi.

Oh, I see now. I had taken the numbers out. Sorry about that.Gal 5:17-26.But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh.  For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.  But if you are led by the Spirit, y…[Read more]

lol, you just finished pointing out I made a mistake in what I quoted in believers place, which I did, now here. But 2nd Peter 3 has to do with the `Day of the Lord – return of Jesus.

Oh, sorry. Gal 5:17. The verse I quoted above.

I have to say that I agree with you here Bod. 2nd Peter 3. -karmarie.

I do Ed, thanks.When you truly become a Christian though – then envy should not be a problem. Envy should be a thing of the past.Jealousy though is a big thing. Are you sure jealousy is alright? How come it says it isnt? It says in Gal 5:7 and I think also in James and other places.Were going off topic, a bit.
