Bodhitharta,

You have the Jew wrong.

He would not say Jesus Christ, unless he was a Messianic Jew, because that is inadvertently confessing Jesus as the Anointed one.

Gene,

The Spirit teaches so why does the New Testament exist?

Nick,

Why is you faith so week?

John is a human and you claim that his words come from God and yet you fear understanding those words.

It is Paul, another you claim with mouth speaks the word of God, who said “I would rather hear a few words with understanding than a multitude without”.

If you believe what you claim then you would seek understanding.

Nick,

Why do you doubt?

Do you doubt Abraham is a Christian who gloried that the time of the Christ with come; even as he lived his mortality?

Nick,

In regards to their religion true Christians are true Jews.

I think I have addressed all those passages at one time or another and in every case it is the reader’s point of view that determines how they are understood.

Scripture literally states that as far as his body Jesus was made of the Seed of David and that he was conceived in his mother’s womb. It also is clear that Jesus was a human being…[Read more]

Nick,

Hi KW,

Why would you offer the words of a man whose words reflect vain philosophy and not truth?

Philo and John use the same form of speech possibly because they were both from and/or addressing the same culture. The words were addressed to a subculture of Jews and and interpreted by that subculture. Philo attempts to explain the…[Read more]

Paul called those who preached another gospel false brothers. (Galatians 2:4)

I have pointed this out before and I will point it out again that Scripture what is false as true.

t8,

In preaching heresy his fruit is of the flesh. I doubt he has the Spirit to begin with so he is unlikely at this point of his life that he will be judged as if he did. God will judge him on that day.

This Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry is some interesting reading on what Philo of Alexander, a contemporary of John’s, said about the logos.

t8,

The error is can be revealed in the small details.

t8,

I disagree as it is written that heretics will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Galatians 5:19-21Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21…

t8,

Do you believe the soul of the Christ came to inhabit the body of Jesus?

Nick,

The point is that it is that as far as the evidence you have souls may or may not be preexistent.

I have already quoted a passage that could be used as evidence to make the case that they are as well as one to make the case that they are not.

A related question is why do those who believe that Jesus is preexitent not believe that humans…[Read more]

Nick,

Do you have any evidence in Scripture that souls are not preexistent?

Nick,

1) You did not show the work you did to arrive at that conclusion.
2) I did not mean my statement to imply the soul is existent before it became living but rather to leave whether it existed or not unclear.
3) I am not sure what you conclusion is since the man of both soil and breath is called a living soul but also has a living soul.
