Derean……the word “by” is tripping you up, it should be translated “for the sake of”. Jesus is the finish product for why God created everything. And we are to come to the full measure and stature of Christ . That’s the purpose for all this physical creation that God “alone and by himself”, has created. His purpose of the whole creation is…[Read more]

Berean , your problem is you do not understand the word “by” properly , look it up and you will find it mean “for the sake of”. NOT EVERY THING IN OUR TEXT IS WRITTEN RIGHT. This is on of those places. The word in Greek “en” can mean many things , that is why you must consider all scriptures inorder to get the right context. The spirit of God…[Read more]

T8…..interesting how you leave out words and add words that are not written, to force our text to say what in fact the are not actually saying.
As far as made in the “image of God” goes, scripture says we “All” are made in his image , so are we not “also “over All things” along with Jesus” scripture say we are, Are we not heirs and “joint h…[Read more]

Mike……right on , Jesus is the word of God, that came to reality, as the flesh man Jesus. Jesus himself is not God’s word itself. He is the spokesman , who has delivered God the Fathers words to us, just as he clearly said he was. Jesus is not equal to God , never was or ever will be. GOD and his word are one and the same .
Good to see you…[Read more]

Jodi…..Thanks, also notice when the unclean spirit returned he found the house “empty” , swept and garnished, this to me is depicting a person who had not yet received the Holy Spirit yet, which would have caused the “house” not to be empty, which would have prevented the unclean spirits from taking control of the man. There is a battl…[Read more]
GeneBalthrop replied to the topic World of spirits? in the forum Truth or Tradition 6 years ago
Jodi….I agree, that spirits are not physically beings , they effect our mental perceptions, the “state of our minds”. I also believe as it says, that spirit begets spirits. Rather clean or unclean. The more you allow in to your mind the more it will beget.
The reason God started the idea of clean and un-clean foods was to introduce the id…[Read more]

Berean…..it doesn’t say “men” of sin , it says “man”, that shows it is a individual person. And what about all the protesdent churches they also teach us day as the day of worship.
Jesus is not a God in infinity, nor in personality. Jesus told us that God is a Spirit, and we must worship him in spirit and truth. JESUS ALSO SAID HE WAS NOT A S…[Read more]

Berean , the Catholic Church has “no” real power, no days, the Pope does not believe he is a God, never has. Please tell us of one person you know that worships him as a GOD, do you even know “ONE” person who does?

Jodi…..what does these scriptures mean to you , 1 kings 22-23, 2 Ch 18:21-22, I see spirits as mental cognisities, either clean or un clean, good or evil, they make up our thinking king, we are also told that there are ” Seven Spirits of God”.
I do however agree with you that they are not beings going around as persons, having said that…[Read more]

Berean…..that happened in 70 AD. When the prince (Titus the son of Emperor Vaspasian ) came and destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem.
Are you trying to say that the Pope says he is God. I know no one who thinks he is a God or even in all the history of the Catholic Church, no one has ever said he was a God, the “only” one who is worshiped as a…[Read more]

Berean….you couldn’t be more wrong even if you tried, .There is (NO) real, “man of sin”, there “is” (ONLY) a false image created by the fallen church, of Jesus being a God, IS he NOT, the “Only” human who has ever entered the “temple of God” and has taken his seat in it, and is being worshiped as God by nearly all Christanity.

Berean, I am not saying you are lying, you simply are deceived and you do believe what you are saying, but what you are saying does not match the time frame given in Rev 17, nor Dan 2.
