Thank you Gene!

When people take the name Jesus the Christ and say it is speaking not of the human anointed with God’s Spirit at the river, but speak of him as a pre-existing son, they are not going to read the passage according to truth.

This is exactly what t8 has done with Philippians 2.

Good Morning All.

John 3:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his GLORY, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) FULL of grace and truth….. 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

John 2:11 This beginning…[Read more]

To ALL,

John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is MY FLESH, which I will give for the life of the world

Hi Anthony,

YOU:And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. And inspired by the Spirit he came into the temple and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law, he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, “L…[Read more]

Hi t8,

YOU:He emptied himself and came in the flesh and came to serve. This does not deny who or what he is, but that he was willing to become lower for a time and be born into this world, share in flesh, to suffer alongside us, and to bring us with him into the presence of God. Now he is back in the glory he had with God before the cosmos. He is…[Read more]

Hi t8,

You have chosen to take John’s Vision in Revelation to support that a soul is conscious after death which speaks against many other passages. You want to believe that what John saw was actually occurring exactly how he saw it, it was not a theatrical vision containing a message, but it was literal, something occurring actually at that…[Read more]

Hi t8,

ME: When a human says “my soul”, according to biblical definition that should represent the unique flesh that God created for a human, as opposed to a frog, or a snake.

YOU: My soul suggests something I have. So what is the MY that says MY soul?

And it appears that souls inhabit a place under the throne of God and they can cry out and eve…[Read more]

Hi t8,

The the infant Jesus at the time of his birth was a master?

Or he was the infant of the prophecy where he was the one that would become a master?

Are we saved by the birth of the infant, or by the death of who the infant became, a perfected man?

The angel also could have called the infant Jesus a prophet, a healer, a miracle worker, as…[Read more]

Hi Nick,

You: So man has the natural ability to gain the Spirit of God?

ME: Man can do nothing of himself, he cannot gain the Spirit of God through himself, it is given by God. Humans were specifically designed to obtain it while other souls that God had made on earth were not.

God created man for the purpose of becoming like Him, to be…[Read more]

Good Morning All,

Life and Death

Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.

Revelations 2:10 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for te…[Read more]

Hi Nick,

You:

Hi Jodi,

Salvation is a gift.

Repentance is given.

The Spirit is given to the obedient.

Men are born helplessly entrapped inheriting death.

The rest is of your intellect .Understanding and knowledge can just be vanity.

Me: Salvation exists through God’s anointing Spirit that He gives, so yes it is a gift, one that He…[Read more]

Hi Nick,

You: Ecc 9.5

For the living know that they will die; but the dead do not know anything,

Context tells us that it is impossible to understand completely the ways of God but this does not mean that the dead are generally unaware of all things.

Rather that they cannot KNOW their future in the way men do.

Sheol and Hades have been…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

Great explanation of what I meant, thank you, as you spoke exactly correct to what I meant.

My post was lengthy so if t8 skimmed it he would have missed parts, like when I said, “you no longer exist in TIME, you have NO CLUE how much time is passing by while you are dead.”

Good Morning t8,

I posted again before I reloaded the page so I did not see all the posts after my one from yesterday, otherwise I would have responded to what you said after me first before the one I just posted.

You:That’s right Jodi. But Paul didn’t hint of soul sleep or soul death between this body and the next. I look at it like this. I ver…[Read more]

To All,

Scripture tells us clearly that those in Christ are to be clothed with a body that cannot be hurt by the second death, they receive a body of power, glory, that is immortal for an eternity.

We even have this passage that talks about when a person in Christ meets the Lord.
<div id=”v-18″ class=”verse font-helvetica”>1 Thes 4:16 For the…[Read more]

Hi t8,

YOU:Paul expressed his desire which was to be away from the body and be PRESENT with the Lord.

ME: Paul’s desire was to be away from the MORTAL body that brings temptation and sin. He spoke clearly in many passages about his desire to be CLOTHED WITH an immortal BODY having eternal life.

Romons 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall del…[Read more]

Hi Nick,

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 40 And with many other words…[Read more]

Hi Nick,

YOU: God is close to all men as Acts 17 shows.  But He only lives in cleansed vessels,

ME: A cleansed vessel represents a person who has a repentant heart.

Acts 17:; 27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 For in him we live, and move, and have…[Read more]

Hi Nick,

YOU:Paul was an anointed man.  Not to be confused with carnal men.

ME: Paul said he was carnal sold under sin.

Romans 7:13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. 14 For we know…[Read more]

To ALL,

David knew of his future Son Jesus and that his son would be before him as his Lord, as he knew that his son was to be the firstborn of the dead, the firstborn of many brethren. David knew he would be one of those brethren to receive life once more. He speaks clearly about death, He has spoken clearly the WORD of God adding to what God…[Read more]
