Hi everyone, I think I have my wits about me now. OK! We can all agree that God has a Soul and we have a Soul. We can all agree that God is spirit(Well, because Jesus told us so and God was speaking through him) and we have a spirit. Because the scriptures reveal this to us and because we were made in his image there would have to be at least…[Read more]

HI everone, lol! is the soul in the spirit? is the spirit in the soul?lol. Is this the allmighty,ifinitely wise,infinitely intelligent,infinitely powerful Jehova we are talking about here? I apologize. I was re-reading our posts and just fell into a fit a chuckles and laughs. Maybe, God(Jehova)(whatever)… God knows what I mean when I say…[Read more]

Hi Mike, I meant the words in my post! LOL ..hehe…it was just and analogy and non-scripture based. More of a food for thought. catalyst type of post.You don't have to urge Gene to change the words of scripture so they fit his understanding. With Love and Respect,…[Read more]

Hi Gene, OK. Change the word 'has' to 'is' since God is a perfected and completed being and the analogy fits fairly nicely to scripture. With Love and Respect, Wispring

Hi WJ,Quote Look around Mike…Greek grammar doesn't include . WJ What was the debate-based reason for this post? The reason I ask is that it has been shown in these threads that this is true and that the insertion of the 'a' in the translation process is up to the translators discernment. It seems to my mind that you are trying to circle the…[Read more]

Hi Mike, Just keep doing what you are doing in that respect. Good news travels as fast as bad news in todays' world. With Love and Respect, Wispring

Hi Pierre,Simple! God is love! The more we put his love in the world with our thoughts and actions the more this aspect of his spirit is manifested in the world! Yay! With Love and Respect, Wisrping

Hi Everyone, Just some deep thoughts here not backed by scripture regarding soul. God has a soul and he is the ultimate and infinite pattern of all things created and uncreated. He decides to create a physical universe so he goes to his catalog of patterns and starts using patterns to create things. In mans' science we have different kingdoms of…[Read more]

Hi Gene, Do you accept that God has a soul as per?:Quote GOD HAS SOUL1Sa 2:35; Ps 11:5; 24:4; Pr 6:16; Isa 1:14; 42:1; Jer 5:9; 6:8; 12:7; 14:19; 15:1; 32:41; 51:14; La 3:20; Eze 23:18; Am 6:8; Mt 12:18; Heb 10:38(borrowed from David's post) I submit that by reasonable and rational thought processes if you accept God has soul and does not have…[Read more]

Hi Tim, I asked one question that was rhetorical in quality. Then refined the scope of the question to man-made in the next sentence. I then answered the question with this statement.Quote With no ultimate evil in opposition to ultimate good in existance all that is evil would not existI then justify how Eve could have been duped by not having…[Read more]

Hi Irene, I would like you to re-read my last few posts and the words I used to express my thoughts. Nowhere in them do I state I am in agreement with Gene's conclusion. I was simply being nice. With Love and Respect, Wispring

Hi Tim, Fear not. I am just leaving the line of reasoning behind.Quote Hi everyone,OK. Try this line of reason on for size. 1.) The Body is a thing2.) The Spirit is a thing3.) The Living Soul is a definition or description of what occurs when thing #1 and #2 are combined by Gods doing. With Love and…[Read more]

Hi Paladin, Could you talk about the anointing of Jesus by the Holy Spirit at birth, from John, then perhaps again at the transfiguration? Where these levels of anointing or stages of the annointing process or something else. I cannot understand the need for 3 anointings. Maybe that is just how things went and there is no teaching in in it… I…[Read more]

Hi Tim, Would you consider war evil and peace good? If so, that tree of knowledge of good and evil eating is still in effect. Stupid tree! This thread is about the love your enemy teaching of our Lord and Teacher Jesus Christ. Do you have any stories or insights on how we can use this particular teaching in our day to day lives?…[Read more]

Hi Tim,Let me get more precise. The Tree of Knowledge of good and evil was not the perception of reality physical or spiritual in a dualistic mode. It was a type of knowledge that begat a dualistic perception of morality. I just re-read my post and should not have used the word reality in the first sentence. My bad. Wish i was perfecet, but, I am…[Read more]

To Everyone that helped, To be honest, until I joined this site and did the scriptural cross-reference process, I was always under the impression that body, spirit, and soul were 3 aspects of the whole self. From readings of metaphysical materials it is always presented in this fashion. I was ready to change my concept if it could be proven via…[Read more]

To All,OK. I was wrong on that line of reason. It was a theory and wanted help running it up against scripture. Thanks! With Love and Respect, Wispring

Could it be that we are to take the teachings of how to love our enemies and apply them in practical ways in our day to day life in order to manifest this teaching in the our lives and the enemiss lives, thereby, giving the teaching an oppurtunity to spread through actually experiencing the actions and results of applying the teaching in our life?…[Read more]

To Everyone, This is a scripture that I found that in my humble opinion does a fine job of describing how someone should behave when teaching the truth. I am continually amazed at the things the Bible reveals.Quote 2 Timothy 2:22-26 (Young's Literal Translation) 22and the youthful lusts flee thou, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace,…[Read more]

Hi Pierre, OK. A scenario. Suppose you are confronted by someone who's intent is to kill you. You physically defend yourself and subdue without killing this person. The eye for an eye logic says you should kill them. The new way taught by Jesus says to love them as yourself even as you love God, with all your hear, mind, soul, and strength. He…[Read more]
