    Hello again Nick I wonder what these scriptures are saying about who's name we are to be baptized in. (since you brought up the scripture)The Account of the day of Pentacost in Acts Chapt 2:Act 2:36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” Act 2:37 When the people hea…[Read more]

    That was absolutely brilliant, with perfect sarcasm and comedy you posted something absurd enough everyone will get your point. GOOD JOB!!!! You made your point in a parable like way, kudos. (I appreciate good sarcasm done tastefully not maliciously.) I thought it was hillarious even if some of my posts mean it applied to me(ha ha). God bless…[Read more]

    Hello gene,My definition of free will is this. Free will is not a choice void of any type of influence it is the ability to weigh the preconcieved notions and then make the choice. IE the dollar is more so I want it, or the person is poor and really cannot afford to give me either so if I have to take one. I will take the dime because I really do…[Read more]

    Hello Gene, Jhn 6:44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. (and now as andy rooney would say the rest of the story)Jhn 6:45 It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God. Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. Jhn 6:46 No one has…[Read more]

    Hello again. gene b thanks for responding so candidly. 1Cr 2:11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 1Cr 2:12 We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has…[Read more]

    Just asking for clarity purposes, but what do you understand the trinitarian concept of free will to be. (may I read your definition.)I agree with the Holy Spirit being temporarily with them but not on them. 1st corinthians chap 2 makes it clear how the Holy Spirit works with our spirit. Not the flesh or soul but only our spirit can commune with…[Read more]

    Hello everyone, following along when I have time, very interesting debates but I had to throw this in. Gene then did the Holy Spirit from birth take away Jesus's free will to sin if he chose. (If so temptation would not be temptation if it was never an option). Trinitarian dogma or not every human ever created had the capacity to sin. If they did…[Read more]

    Hello Nick, this ones for you again I point back to the post, I did not write corinthians or hebrew. I simply did what I am told to do and studied the scriptures to show myself a workman approved. In case we are not on the same page “the scriptures are God breathed useful for teaching, correcting, and rebuking (when necessary)” Tell me which part…[Read more]

    Hello martian, You mentioned earlier:”If I understand you post correctly you compare the Body Soul and Spirit of man to the Trinity. The analogy falls completely apart when you consider that the primary tennant of the Trinity is that ther are three “Persons” of the Trinity. “(Three parts but one God “hear o Israel the Lord our God the Lord is…[Read more]

    Hello Kj, as a triune believer the answer to your question is “NO“!no amount of knowledge alone can save you. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.

    Hello Nick, I believe that is exactly what these as well as other scriptures are saying. According to a triune belief, this is only two parts of the whole. Before we move on however, I believe they are necessary for our brother martian, because it starts to answer as to the attributes of the character of God. For how can the scripture contradict…[Read more]

    Hello all, thank you Gene for your clarification of the rope in my scripture example. But wether a rope,a camel, or a tunnel the warning is still there to bring the rich man closer to the Father. It is just as appropriated for the wealthy today in 2008 as it was at the time it was quoted. I do like the way martian phrased it “I do not believe they…[Read more]

    Martian I apologize if I gave the wrong impression after reading your response about intellectualizing.

    Hello all been along time (but I have been quietly reading along for about 40 or so pages and finally have some time to wade in.)
