To All…….”whosoever is (UNDER) the works of the Law is under a (CURSE)” and again the LAW is for the sinner and the UNGODLY”. If your heart has been changed (BY) GOD , you are (NOT) UNDER ANY LAW. YOU HAVE (BECOME) and (FULFILL) the Commandments in your (NEW HEART), YOU are born from above, the (WORKS) of LAW has been replaced by the (WORKS)…[Read more]

Ed j………..i agree with that to. I said Wind was just a symbolic example of spirit, but not actually it. Spirit is thought or intellect which effects our hearts and minds. “let this Mind be in you that was (IN) Christ Jesus our lord”. Spirit is definitely the intellect of the mind given by GOD.

Nick……….Produce scripture that prove what you claim , i have yet to see any. A soul is simply a Body with Spirit in it, as Georg and i also brought out. Jesus did not say GOD would destory Body, Spirit and Soul , did he. No just body and Soul, could be destroyed in the grave. When we die we parish we have no more memory of anything, (for…[Read more]

Nick……A LAW is a enforced statue, it always includes enforcement, where there is no enforcement there is (NO) LAW. It just a statute. Notice where is say for where there is (NO) law there is no transgression (of IT). You can't transgress a Law when there is NONE. GOD'S commandments were turned into (LAW) forced compliance at Mount Sinai. A…[Read more]

To all………the word (LAW) simply put, means (FORCED COMPLIANCE) and works through the medium of FEAR, and (NO ONE) will be JUSTIFIED before GOD by OBEDIENCE brought about by the (WORKS) of LAW (the way law works). That is clearly Paul's POINT. Forced compliance (working of law) can not change a person Heart and therefore is not acceptable to…[Read more]

GeneBalthrop replied to the topic in the forum The Holy Spirit, a separate person, essence of God, or force? 16 years, 9 months ago
Ed j…………I believe the concept of wind is the best way to explain SPIRIT, because of the qualities as similar. Jesus use it also, He said the Spirit is like the wind you can see the effects of it but can't see it, Our intellect and thinking is the same thing it can't be seeing but the effects of it can (so a man thinks so he is). Thoughts…[Read more]
