Quote And I never said it was “in” you. And when Jesus said the the kingdom was in the midst or “in” as some translators render it, the pharisees and scribes, he meant that the king of that kingdom was in their midst, as he was that king.I disagree David, It means in you and in me, IN ALLECC 12:7 describes it”Then shall the dust return to the…[Read more]

Once you are to the point where you can stand at the door and Knock the Spirit will communacate with you. There is no mistaking it.

Quote ” It” is not within us until reborn into us. if it is not within us then how would we give up the ghost at death or how would the spirit return to GOD when the body turns to dust?Are you even paying attention to what you are writing down here?

Does anyone know what the gospels are?The gospels at the time of Christ did not include any writings of the disciples did they?

144000 JWs?I've heard of the 144000 who have never known woman but how do they get to be from any one sect?

Quote Science fiction? WOW, the whole Bible teaches the theory of worshiping a super natural lord of the spirits.Science Fiction? Well that is a stance that most scientists agree with, they say the Bible is Fiction but I didn’t expect that from you.Numbers 27:16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the c…[Read more]

Quote Matthew 16:28Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.I believe here Christ is using a different meaning of “alive” in the same way as he spoke of Abraham being alive, not physically but in soul and inheritance.I believe that some there transferred…[Read more]

Quote 16As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.” I believe there is a lot of that going around, I know a lot of people who claim to be Christians but they refuse…[Read more]

I don't like thinking the book is full of lies that have to depend on rewording to bring out truths

OK, but I would rather follow a theory that makes sense of what is there without re wording everything to fit my wishes

Quote Now looking at Jn 11John 11:26And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?Yes I believe this and I know how it is a truth as I pointed out a couple of posts back the claim is “shall never die” and “shall not see death”so how can you explain that as a truth (without changing words) or saying they mean something else?

Quote Those who are alive in Christ when Christ returns will NEVER see death.Isn't that adding words that aren't there

John 8:51Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.That was a long time ago Nick, so how is this a truth?

The power of reason would then surmise that any person who supports the use of violence against any man turns their back on salvation.

I have another question DavidWe are told that for a soldier to be saved he must do violence to no man. SO,How can a true follower of Christ go to war?

OR unless we can transfer into our spirit body (be born again)Tell me this then how is it that some will not see death?

Quote So God is a spirit being-Soul and spirit. We can share in that Spirit and become one with each other and with God in Christ.In a way. I have come to believe that, (in the simple version)In our beginning God formed us out of the dust of the Earth He then breathed into us the breath of life attaching a part of Himself to our bodies (sort of an…[Read more]

Yes and if Jesus was correct, and GOD is a spirit.Then being born again would suggest being born into that form, to my way of thinking anyway.

Well if you believe that the angels cast to earth and bound here are another form of being without physical bodies. What is keeping you from believing in the other Spirits being of the same form?Or in the the belief I expressed as to having one of those forms of bodies attached to our physical bodies?
