    T8…..Your assuming the (Word) as a Noun when in fact it is a descriptor or an attribute of the one GOD. And your references to the upper and lower cases is also wrong seeing that (ALL) original Greek is written in capital letters. Translators changes the upper and lower case lettering to meet their ideologies, which unfortunately was…[Read more]

    LU………..Where did Peter say Jesus Christ is our GOD, you are altering the text to meet you preconceived ideology, If what you say is true then why did Jesus say for THOU ART THE ONLY (TRUE) GOD then?. Where did JESUS say HE was the ONLY TRUE GOD, Scripture plainly says Jesus had a GOD and it was not himself and it was this GOD he glorified on…[Read more]

    DK……then where do this come in if we are to choses by our so-called Free will, “For YOU are CREATED unto GOOD WORKS. Are we able to create ourselves GOOD then? I think not, ” for it is God who works in you (BOTH) to WILL and DO HIS GOOD PLEASURE. And again you are saved by GRACE (God influencing the Heart) and that (NOT OF YOURSELF) it is a…[Read more]

    To all…..we should all ask God to Show us and teach us His word, remember Jesus said ask and we will recieve, seek and we will find, Knock and it shall be opened unto us. Jesus said we would all be taught by GOD. Spiritual things take the Spirit to understand, because they are spiritually given. Thats why there is so much confusion about the…[Read more]

    epitemaniac…..Then why did Jesus say “tho art the (ONLY)TRUE GOD”, them if Jesus is the real GOD who is the savior of all men. While the word God can be other then the true God in the expressions of (POWERS) but still Jesus made certain we all know who was the (ONLY)TRUE GOD. and that did not include Him. To me Peter was saying Jesus (AND) GOD…[Read more]

    David…..to say it did not have to be this way is to limit God's intellect , if you believe God knows the end from the beginning as scripture says then he also knew Adam and Eve would Fail. in face it says Jesus was crusified from the foundations of the world , ot was all in GOd's plan from the start to the finish. All this Evil we experience is…[Read more]

    Nick….I agree with you GOD indwelling man is an extraordinary privilege, I also believe GOD finds His rest in us to when we put our Wills to death, and we find our rest in Him. In fact God may find rest in all His creation and all creation will find rest in Him. Just an opinion thats all.peace to you and yours………..gene

    Lu…..Jesus is not my GOD and savior, I have a GOd and Savior who is the same one as Jesus had and I think He is just as capable of saving me as He did Jesus.

    Kimba08……..A Spirit appears to be useless unless it has a body to indwell, because it, of itself cant animate anything without a body. Jesus said the unclean spirit goes about in arid places looking for rest but can't seem to find any. Maybe even GOD'S Spirit finds rest in His creation. Just speculation. But i believe the Soul/Spirit do…[Read more]
