7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

This is does not prove AT ALL what you believe. When we die are life IS OVER, there is not a part of us that is immortal. God gave us the breath of life so that we could live, and in…[Read more]

Nick, Paul was filled with the Spirit to a measure that made him an apostle, but he was not FULL of the Spirit to a measure where he was perfected. Yes many men are filled with the Spirit, filled with wisdom, filled with knowledge, with workmanship..etc. Jesus was the only mortal given the full measure that would enable him to remain without sin.

NO! Paul received God’s Spirit to a measure that made him an apostle, but he did not receive a measure most certainly that kept him from sin, as Jesus had received. I spoke about his hope that he had when he is resurrected, THEN it will be that he is made perfect and no longer able to sin.

I didn’t say that the dust was the source of the breath of God, God is the source of our breath.

This passage shows what I am saying,

7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

First God calls us, it is through His Spirit that we are led to a repentant heart. We cannot do anything on our own, we cannot recognize our sins, and be sorry of those sins without God working in us. What baptism represents is being repentant and then going through a ritual act that symbolizes being washed clean from our sins as we recognize that…[Read more]

Knowledge comes from God, without God’s grace giving us truth we are nothing more than a dumb dog. Without God’s Spirit of knowledge working in us we would not know Him or know Jesus in truth.

The breath of God is giving life to that which He formed from the dust of the earth. There is no part of us that is immortal, when the body dies the person is dead, they have no thoughts, no memories, they cannot make any plans, they cannot do good or evil. The point of death is a punishment for sin, it’s taking away your life, not taking your…[Read more]

Once again you are denying clear passage. The sign is about three days and three nights he would rise again, such does not dissolve the fact that the one to sit on David’s throne would be of the flesh of David’s loins. There is no part of the sign that means his rising was to be in a temporary form. You can’t prove anything with the sign of…[Read more]

Nick, you are denying straight forward scripture, and then saying a passage says something that it does not. You are forcing the text to your belief.

You leave out the WHEN

7 Who in the days of his flesh WHEN he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in…[Read more]

Yes flesh and blood cannot, that is why it is said that one is to be born of water and of the Spirit, there is no more blood. Jesus WAS raised to life in HIS GLORY, raised incorruptible, and it is Jesus who is of the fruit of David’s loins, ACCORDING to the FLESH that he sits on his throne. Mortal flesh is weak, immortal flesh that has God’s…[Read more]

The old creation becomes a new creation through the works of God’s Spirit, bringing man into the fullness of His image as He designed man in the first place to become.

Yes we are told exactly that it is Nick. Man was made of the dust of the earth not just his body. The breath of life that God gives to us is just that, taking a man and causing him to be alive verses dead. All of God’s creatures when they are alive are a living soul, when they die they are a dead, no longer a living soul but a dead one. God has…[Read more]

Nick I am not following you here, give the scripture.” Faith requires that we follow a command that we must be reborn of water and the Spirit”. That doesn’t make sense, the command part. Yes man must be reborn but it is through the grace of God, man can do nothing of himself. If you have faith in your works not acknowledging that only God is good,…[Read more]

Hi Nick,

Yes absolutely, as it is by our actions that our faith can be seen. However we are not capable of being perfect and one sin equals death, but praise to God our Father for Jesus paying the penalty for all our sins. As long as we recognize our sins and repent, loathing our weakness, and ask God to help us, that shows our faith as well as…[Read more]
