NICK. …Well now are you beginning to see what spirits do and are? now please tell us this, do you understand that spirits impart to us their cognisity of life. IF YOU understand that then you can understand why “EVERYTHING” in existence that has life in it only acts in accordance with the spirit or spirits abiding in them. SPIRIT IS THE…[Read more]

NICK… JOHN WAS “BOTH” THE MESSENGER AND SLAVE OF BOND SERVANT OF JESUS AS WELL. I DO NOT BELIEVE I HAVE TAKEN ANYTHING OUT OF THE MEANING OF THE “ORIGINAL” GREEK TEXT. IMO

NICK….Again you have dodged the question, so lets try again, was IT JESUS, SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO JOHN in Rev 1:11, TELLING HIM TO WRITE DOWN WHAT HE HAS SEEN AND SEND IT TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES?, A YES OR NO , WILL SUFFICE .

NICK…..As I have said I have no problem of being proven wrong,but just to say it without scriptural proof is quite a different thing.

NICK…..How is that trying to protect my pride if as i said, “I AM WILLING TO LOOK AT IT DIFERENTLY, IF PROVEN WRONG. PROOF IS HARDLY, the “accusitory spirit” working in you NICK.
It appears you have the “pride” problem here, not me.

KERWIN….I agree with your assessment, but by leaving it out does give the prexistences an edge, that is probably why a trinitarian translator left it out. IMO
Also you are right if a person understands the spirit was “IN” the man Jesus, it shouldn’t make much diffetence.

Miia…..You left off part of JOHN 3:12. IT SAYS “the son of man, “who is “IN” heaven.” I CHECKED IT OUT IN A GREEK LINEAR TRANSLATION, and it does seem to appear somewhat different,but the “who is “IN” heaven”, is still there. I have noticed others who try to force the text to imply JESUS as a preexisting sentinal being, who decended from…[Read more]

NICK…..I offer what the GREEK says, word for word, and it’s not my fault you or anyone else do not accept it. The GREEK does not use the word angel there, but “messenger”, and it does show it was John, not an angelic “being”, spoken of there, as many supose. JOHN was to deliever what GOD gave to JESUS to show his servants the things that were…[Read more]

NICK look, just read it TOTALLY and you should see it is JESUS SPEAKING TO JOHN HIS SERVANT TO THE CHURCHES. I AM NOT SAYING I AM 100 PERSENT RIGHT ON THIS BUT THAT IT APPEARS TO ME THAT WAY, WHEN YOU PUT THE WHOLE THE WHOLE THING INTO CONTEXT.

miia….To me the spirit of truth, is “one” of the “seven” spirits of God, and it deals with what we hear, and processes it in our minds, reavealing to us the truth of what it hears, it does not speak of it own , because it has no self function, it simply process what we are hearing and descloses to us, if it is the truth or not. Without that…[Read more]
