Hi Istari,  How are you doing? Well and good I hope. I misused the word “virtually”. To readers of my post please delete the word virtually and this is what I really meant to communicate. May the gospel that Christ Jesus proclaimed guide you in your life and may God the Father also be your spirtual father.                                     Wit…[Read more]

Hi Mike,Quote Let's step it up a notch.  Do you believe like Istari, that spirits are “everywhere all the time”?   No.   To me it's all theory and speculation. I have a logical theory for both possibilites I will wait on the truth of this matter when and if God, Jesus, or the Spirit of Truth reveals it to me in this life or the next. Also a lo…[Read more]

Hi thehappyman,Quote I don't believe that Jesus said that He was equal with His Father. Eample : My dad is the head of our home and everything is based on him , i am his son and I am not equal to him. yet i am a part of him. Of every thing that I have studied about Jesus, He was not going to do the same as Satan, that is to make himself equal. I…[Read more]

Hi Tim,Quote Karmarie: For help in mental clairity of the truth of God, every time you read the scriptures of the NT when they say Heaven, point to yourself, when they say Kingdom of God, point to yourself, when they say Temple of God, point to yourself, when they refer to the Church of Jesus, point to yourself, you are the body of Jesus/Christ.…[Read more]

Hi Folks,   OK. Since I have never been to heaven and talked to angels/spirits or God about these things I really don't know the “God's Truth” about them. I can only theorize(guess). Here is an answer as to why spirits don't just merge into one another that is based on “no bodies whatsoever”. They have “identities”. Therefore they can…[Read more]

Hi Charles,Quote That's why one must rely on his church for interpretation,because otherwise one goes mad.   What is the name of the church you are relying on please?                                         With Love and Respect,                                                     Wispring

Hi Tim,   It all good! I am glad you understood my post for what it was/is!Quote That whatever we focus on from our minds becomes forefront in our lives as long as we “pay attention” to it. If we pay attention to anything we consider evil and contemplate it and resist it, we are actually giving it power in our life.   This I don't believe to be a…[Read more]

To Thread Readers,Google the grammatical use of wether. I did. It appears to mean when more than one thing is referred to or are offered as a choice for selection. I believe Paladin has that which is the formally correct usage of the word “wether” understood correctly.                                                 With Love and Respect,      …[Read more]

Hi Tim,   Yes. My comment is that Christ Jesus's mission was to accomplish a number of things. He is a prophet as well. He came to update or modify previous teachings your post pertains to one of them. He also had the same message as many previous teachings. This being worship God the father alone. Evidently humanity has difficulty collectively…[Read more]

Hi Irene,   Here is a link to the free to read book “Flatland” by E. A. Abbot:The book “Flatland” by E. A. Abbot   It's an interesting read.                                                   With Love and Respect,                                                           Wispring

Hi Christians,Exodus 20:3 (King James Version) 3Thou shalt have no other gods before me.Yep. No other gods, period, WJ. That's why Jehova told us have no other gods before him. Not false gods. Not so-called gods. Not poetic or metaphoric language. Straight forward, to the point language. Evidently your knowledge of ancient culture(s) is not very…[Read more]

Hi Everyone,   Here are the next scritpures up for sharing our understandings of:Quote Matthew 5:1-12 (King James Version)Matthew 5 1And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the…[Read more]

Hi Shimmer,   I have been following my own advice and have been reading Matthew, Mark, Luke, John alot lately. Living life as a disciple of Christ Jesus is not an easy activity IMO. It is far easier to debate/argue then it is to be a true follower of Christ Jesus. I have been re-dedicating my life to God and truly doing my best to read the bible…[Read more]

Hi 942767, Thank You! Thank you for pointing out the obvious reality that an image of anything is not the original. If you ever tried your hand as a visual artist or did alot of Photoshop type work you would be extremely aware of this simple fact of life. With Love and Respect,…[Read more]

To everyone,   I would like to thank all those who fellowshiped and shared thier understandings. I will not stray from the scope and purpose of this thread. It is not for debate. It is for fellowshipping. It is for freely speaking one's mind about one's own understanding of scriptue that God has given to each person who believes in him to…[Read more]

Hi allThe early forefathers to the best of my understanding were incorporating a word and philosophy of Plato or Aristotle as both used the words in their philosophical framework. Most likely Plato with his “First Principle” philosophy. The Jewish people were very resistant to allowing philosophys and gods from other countries into there life,…[Read more]

Hi Paladin,Quote If I aknowledge I am a sinner, what have I said? Only that I am just like everyone else. But if, when in prayer, I acknowledge that between God and I, He is my God, and I am the sinner. I think the article makes a vast difference in this case. Here is how using the article “the” is vastly different in my view. Using it means…[Read more]

Hi Gene, Evidently you didn't check out the link I provided in my previous post. It goes to the web-site that Jeff Benner(I think you meant Benner and not Beaner) created. So, yeah, ok… Here is what my intellect put together from the pictographs head of an ox(Aleph) and the staff(Lam). God is my strength and my guide;He leads me towards Him;He…[Read more]

I think it is a Jehova's Witness doctrine. If the Spirit of Truth and your owne God-given discernment haven't informed you as to the truthfulness of this doctrine google for a few hours. Look to Christ Jesus, God within you for an answer. I don't have an opinion on this doctrine. I know it's not of God.

Hi Gene, I did some research on the pictorial language of the Hebrews. I already was aware that Hebrew is action-oriented/verb oriented and not so much adjective oriented. Here is a nice link:ancient-hebrew.org I found the information presented here very educational. This is a definition of intellect from freedictionary.comQuote in·tel·lect (…[Read more]
