Terrarica,

Accept for the biased choice of the “male” pronouns in the translations of John 1 is there any thing else that convinces you the word is a person?

Terrarica,

Then I assume God has revealed to you that the fruit of the Spirit is Godly Love.

Terrarica,

It is actually from Matthew, who himself paraphrased from Isaiah. According to the NET version he changed tenses on the words “I have placed my spirit on him ..” as they are written in Isaiah 42:1 to “I will put my Spirit on him” as they are written in Matthew 12:18. Most translations at biblehub do the same thing but the New…[Read more]

Terrarica,

Anyone who claims to not have an opinion of what Scripture means does not care what it means or is speaking an untruth.

The question is whether a individuals opinion is from them or from God.

Peter’s opinion was, and I am confident still is, that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Jesus stated that opinion came from…[Read more]

Terrarica,

I already informed you that I do not to desire to discuss you opinion that truth is a synonym of the Spirit as it would derail the conversation that we were having and yet you choose to do so.

The point we are discussing is that the only reason that the words of John 1:18 apply to Jesus Christ is that God gave him the Spirit sometime…[Read more]

Terrarica,

So you have concluded that the word truth is a synonym for the word truth.

I do not agree with that conclusion but I do not want to address it at this time unless this conversation get side tracked since it really does not change anything in my point.

Terrarica,

According to Scripture it is the Spirit that makes God know. The Spirit made God known to Jesus and through him to all that believe.

Terrarica,

In the passage from Peter, it specifically states that the Spirit of God caries the truth of God.

Scripture teaches us that God did foretell he would put his Spirit on Jesus and then Jesus would proclaim justice to the nations. (Matthew 12:18)

2 Peter 1:21New English Translation (NET Bible)

21 for no prophecy was ever borne of human impulse; rather, men carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

According to this passage the spoken word came to Jeremiah as well as the other prophets.

Jesus’ relation with the word of God is more intimate than Jeremiah or any…[Read more]

@t8,

Sorry for being so slow to respond.

Hebrews 4:12New English Translation (NET Bible)

12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to the point of dividing soul from spirit, and joints from marrow; it is able to judge the desires and thoughts of the heart.

It is not a living creature though Jesus, who now gives it body, is.

Ed,

The Bereans are given honor by God for listening to a human being then testing what he said against Scriptures.

Miia,

Ask, seek, and knock.

A human must Ask God for mercy and confess they are a sinner.
Seek the true gospel of Christ, listening to men to tests if their words are from God as well as reading Scripture and seeking what it really means.
Knock by following the true gospel of Christ.

Gene,

My point is that it is necessary Jesus sacrificed himself for the sacrifice to be valid.

God wills that each and every one of his creation do all that is right but that does not mean that each and every one does his will except in the sense that he allows each and everyone to choose. Jesus used his choice to do what Love, and thus God,…[Read more]

miia,

God tells us by obeying the true gospel of Christ and thus learning use faith in order to always live by the Spirit using the power of God after you received the Spirit by using faith and obedience to the instructions to repent and be immersed in water for the forgiveness of your sins.

Many either reject Jesus altogether or follow a false…[Read more]

Miia,

Worldly things are based on the principles of the flesh and not the Spirit.

Gene,

Jesus sacrificed himself in his great love and so served to appease God for the sins of the world. (1 John 2:2)

Gene,

God did not sacrifice Jesus but as it is important that Jesus sacrificed himself.

Jesus did do God’s will which is not the same as God doing his will and Jesus having no part in the decision.

Jesus is the Anointed and God created him the most noble vessel to choose to sacrifice himself on the cross.

As a rule, the people of God credit…[Read more]
