Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 06 2010,14:51)Hi KM, ED has his own ideas here. Keep studying where truth is foundThankyou for that advice Nick.Much appreciated.  

Ok Gene, spirit somehow put into human words ….its that place within which feels emotion it is of the heart it can feel love it can feel pain it goes with thoughts it thinks it reasons, words, so…How is that supposed to be put into a simple explanation , or into simple words? I dont know. I dont think you can.I had a friend, she had spirit she…[Read more]

No Ed thats not true. Jesus will return in the flesh in his new glorified body, every eye will see (No thats not 'spiritual eye' as the JWs say either)…At his return the world and the works on it will be burnt up, that hasnt happened yet.

Mike, you need to give up on these debates.

I cant believe you all sometimes. The Orthodox have it completly right. Yet you ignore what they say because you disagree with other things they say or do. So you have to come up with your own unique versions, of everything.Spirit is within. its the “eyes of the heart” cant you feel anything? Ok so it must be all just “intellect” mind, Ok.…[Read more]

Ed, Jesus returns in his new glorified body, not spirit only, spirit only is exactly the type of gnostic thinking the early church had to fight against! Antichrist thinking..Thats why they made the point that Jesus came…in the flesh….see here…http://www.letusreason.org/Biblexp104.htmNow you say….what? The 'image of the beast' is a return…[Read more]

Hi Ed and T,Heres more on  “the eyes of the heart””Seen from Hebrew tradition, from Christ Himself, and from the Apostles that in the region of the physical heart there functions something that the Fathers called the nous. In other words, the Fathers took the traditional term nous, which means both intellect (dianoia) and speech or reason…[Read more]

Gene and all,Spirit…..The will, intellect and emotions“Intellect or Perception of the mind,” is too narrow for “ the eyes of your heart,” “Heart” includes emotions as well as the rational mind.   Eastern Orthodox (who hold the original teachings) they call it nous, though they are trinitarians, thier belief in it is slightly different. E…[Read more]

Well said Ja.Also, if you really loved someone, would you want them to ignore you? You'd appretiate if they came to you . So God wants all to come to him.We love him because he first loved us…1st john 4:19As God he knows more than we do. So we should go to him. He wants us to. And he wants to see us loving each other too. Praying for others…[Read more]

Good verse princess of the king.

Hi barley.As Is 1:18 says, your avoiding alot of scripture. Your such a good writer though. I agree with the tv part, whats tv anyway? I dont know. I hardly watch it either.

Hi Malysc Welcome.  When I was younger or 'Spiritually blind' I would only ever pray when I needed help! When everything was such a mess. “Help me God” desperation. But when I was led by God, prayer became something else. Its time with God, connection with your mind and heart and words, sometimes no words, sometimes silence speaking from the…[Read more]

Sorry! deleted.. wrong thread.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 01 2010,11:48)Hi KM, The Spirit of Christ did.Hi Nick, I agree, thats what I meant.

Hi Nick, so you dont believe Jesus pre-existed either? The scriptures say he did. I believe he did. Most believers believe he did, the earliest church did, the only ones who dont are those like christadelphians, ebionites,

Sheppard of Hermas a popular reading of the earliest Church  http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/shepherd.htmlHOW TO RECOGNISE THE TWO SPIRITS ATTENDANT ON EACH MAN, AND HOW TO DISTINGUISH THE SUGGESTIONS OF THE ONE FROM THOSE OF THE OTHER.

Hi Gene, yeah I see what your saying. People say Jesus is now only a Spirit and I thought that also. But, His body could be touched, It bore the marks of the nails, and the pierced side, He could eat, walk through a closed door,  ascend up bodily into heaven?

Hi  Barley and Nick,If all was created through Jesus why do people say it wasnt?The hills the mountains the sun the flowers trees rivers everything man desires and wants to own to have, scripture says all was made through and for him , yet we live here we “look after it” yet so many here try to say thats not true, He wasnt there.?How many say…[Read more]

Ed, I still dont know what you mean. A false flesh return of Jesus, so are you saying a false Jesus will come from the sky and fool everyone? PLEASE Ed, dont answer with scripture quotes but just something I can understand?

Hi. A friend once said she believes it involves 2 things, the mind and the heart. They are connected. So Spirit would involve these. Thoughts and feelings. But as we are in a body it also includes actions? Just a thought, but have to go.
