@Jodi Hi Jodi,
SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD.. You cannot see the kingdom till you take the first steps.
Heb 6.1
Therefore, leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity,
Not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith towards God,
of instruction about washings and laying on of hands,…[Read more]NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 9 months ago
@Jodi Hi Jodi,
Recognition of who the Son is and what he has done for us does not save us.
Faith requires obedience to the command ‘that You must be reborn of water and the Spirit.’
‘Repent and be baptised for the forgiveness of sin in the name of Jesus Christ and you will receive the Holy Spirit.’NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 9 months ago
@Jodi Hi Jodi,
‘God’s Spirit is not made of the dust of the earth.’
True but neither is the Spirit given to men.
‘Then God formed man of dust from the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
And man became a living being’The breath of God was what made dust into something different.
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]

@Jodi Hi Jodi,
As you say man is subject to many inner temptations.
Easy prey to Satan whose minions indwell natural men and produce his fruit.
The Flesh belongs to his kingdom and none in furs can be better for than Paul who wanted to be free of it.NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 9 months ago
@Jodi Hi Jodi,
The plan of God is not to glorify the old creation but to remake it in His image.
New body to encase the soul of each man made alive in His Spirit eternally.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.

@Jodi Hi Jodi,
The body without the spirit is dead.
The life in the blood is from the human spirit.
When a man dies it returns to God as Eccl 12 explains.NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 9 months ago
@Jodi Hi Jodi,
You spoke correctly when you said a man can be FULL OF hate or jealousy.
Such things can live in a man and direct his steps.
But the Son came to set us free.NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 9 months ago
@Jodi Hi Jodi,
Indeed the ruler of this world enslaves mankind from within to doubts, worries, lusts and fears like the fear of death.
Those who the son sets free are free indeed.NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 9 months ago
@Jodi Hi Jodi,
The spirit of man is not from the dust of earth.
It is of the breath of God.NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 9 months ago
@Jodi Hi Jodi,
The gift of the Holy Spirit does not save the human spirit or the flesh of man as both are merely temporary.
It is meant to transform our carnal minds unto the mind of Christ and will if we cooperate.NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 9 months ago
@Jodi Hi Jodi,
Jesus gave up his human spirit at death as happens with us too.
Only the Spirit of life can give us eternal life.NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 9 months ago
@Jodi Hi Jodi,
Yes man was formed from dust.
And God reminded him of this lowly origin.
Remember man that thou art dust and unto dust thou shalt return.But the breath of God transformed him into a living (spirit) soul (soul).
The dust does not survive to be of the new creation as flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom.Neither does the human…[Read more]

@Jodi Hi Jodi,
Did the human spirit of Jesus Christ leave him at his death on Calvary?NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 9 months ago
@Jodi Hi Jodi,
The risen Jesus had the same soul and body, though bloodless.
Transformed by the renewal of his mind according to the guiding Spirit.
No longer alive by the life in the blood he lives forever by the indwelling Holy Spirit.NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 9 months ago
@Jodi Hi Jodi,
Not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit.
These stones will cry out.Do not be dazzled by the amazing earthly creation because is a mirage and the new creation of the Spirit is far better.

@Jodi Hi Jodi,
The body of man is amazing, but the salvation of the soul is the plan of God.
Dust returns to dust and the flesh has no future

For Thou didn’t form my inward parts; Thou didst weave me in my mother’s womb
I will give thanks to Thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

@Jodi Hi Jodi,
Those that live and believe in me will never die.
Do you believe this?
Truly truly I say to you, he who hears my word and believes Him Who sent me has eternal life,
and does not come into judgement , but has passed out of death into life
Do you believe this?
Do you believe Jesus visited the spirits in prison, alive in the Spirit,…[Read more]NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 9 months ago

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]
