Dude, I totally forgot about the soul!I guess it is because I never understood the difference between the spirit of a man and his soul. Can you explain this?

That was of grave spiritual importance

To my homies:Thanks for crackin the code on the smiley faces.

And why do wierd faces come up when I don't put them there?Oh, the mysteries:;):

WJ-“Surely there is nothing we can add to the sacrifice Yeshua gave on the cross.Yet we must work with God through the Spirit in working out our salvation and identify with the cross by taking up our cross and denying ourselves and following him.”Thanks, bro.By the way, what is IMO?

does this mean that the spirit of a man can be apart fom himself? Where is the spirit of Christ?

what does this mean, (in practical, real-life terms)???

I never said anything about what people were and weren't saying. Just sharing my heart. : )

Discipline is love. Rev 3:19-2119 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent. 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. 21 To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat…[Read more]

Quote (gollamudi @ July 17 2008,05:12)Hi Shania,Thanks for that post. But one thing Jesus gave up his spirit on his death on the cross as our brother Nick says. It is a literal thing like any man's spirit leaves him and goes to God on his death.Love and peace to youAdamA man's spirit leaves his body- it is not possible for a man's spirit to leave…[Read more]

Quote (942767 @ July 17 2008,06:10)Hi All:When Jesus died his spirit went to God.  He was dead, but he is alive his spirit(the Word of God, the spirit of the Son) as well as God Holy Spirit (the Spirit of God our Father) is in his new body.God BlessCould you clarify this a bit? Thanks

I think there is a misunderstanding and a generalization happening here:There is a belief that the people who believe that it is possible for salvation to be lost are trusting in themselves for their own salvation.  This is not true.  The only possible way for man to be saved is by the grace {favor} of God.  Rom 5:6-76 You see, at just the ri…[Read more]

Quote (Theologian-and-Apologist @ July 15 2008,04:39)I myself do not believe that the pray gets you to heaven, it is the trusting in Christ. I think no matter how you dice it, if you are truly saved you will want to offer yourself wholly to God.Powerful statement. What do you mean by 'scientific' christian? Just curious.
