Ed,

He is in Paul spiritually but Paul was given to be an apostle and not the Christ. (1 Corinthians 12:28-29)

Only Christ has the power the immerse other in the Holy Spirit and fire. (Matthew 3:11) He and God are the only ones said to have that authority in Scripture.

Ed,

Christ liveth in Paul? “Yes” or “No” ?

You do not include a context so I do not know in what sense you mean.

Spiritually yes but bodily no. Paul is one with Christ Jesus in the union of the Spirit which is why Jesus prayed that believers would be in him and God and him and God would be in Jesus.

Not everyone is given the same authori…[Read more]

Ed,

Paul did not baptize with the Holy Spirit as he did not and does not have the authority to give the Holy Spirit. Jesus had to live a life in which he did not sin even though being tempted as is common to man and then die in order for the Spirit; in its role of concealer to come. John teaches us that Jesus is the one the baptizes us with both…[Read more]

terrarica,

strangely enough Matthew 28;19 does not appear in the Hebrew version of Matthew gospel,and what is more strange is that the command is given to the apostles and yet they are the ones that mostly not doing the command ?

I am not sure what you mean as the apostles did immerse student-followers in the name of Christ. We do not have…[Read more]

Ed,

Your example is flawed as each of those that you mention teach a different doctrine and Scripture states if anyone teaches a different doctrine from which the Eleven preached let them forever be accursed. (Galatians 1:8)

Terrarica,

Why are you disagreeing with Jesus?

He is the one that tells his student-followers to immerse all nations not me. You know his words and you are tell him that immersing new follower-students does not mean anything.

Since he tells his people to do it there is a reason for it.

If you believe he knows what he is speaking of then you…[Read more]

Gene,

It is not the same word but rather it means the same thing as honor in some uses. A thesaurus will reveal that much.

In this verse worship is used to mean honor as David is not God.

1 Chronicles 29:20Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

20 And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the Lord your God. And all the congregation…

Terraricca,

Each sect was boasting because they were baptized by a particular individual and not all of them were baptized by Paul. None of them were boasting that they were not baptized. Their sin was sectarianism and boasting after the flesh. Paul was glad that few could use his actions as reason to sin.

The bottom line is that Jesus…[Read more]

Nick,

According to a literal understanding of Revelations 20-21 the old heaven and earth passages away before the Death and Hades are thrown into the Lake of fire. The wicked are also thrown into Gehenna but after Death and Hell.

Why do you deem that disproves t8’s hypothesis?

Nick,

I use words from John 3:3 and John 3:6.

Don’t you believe all humans have a human spirit and that the spirit of believers testify with the Spirit that they are children of God? (Romans 8:16)

Nick,

Jesus says that creations can be judged by their fruit but God judges who is saved and who is condemned.

Nick,

What is of earth now is transient but the lake of fire is not of earth.

What evidence to you use to support your case?

t8,

I believe the human spirit is born again of the Spirit. It is the born again spirit God is shown to be the father of.

t8,

Hebrews 12:9 contrasts father of flesh to father of spirits. The use of plural spirit leads me to believe he is speaking of human spirit especially considering the subject is fruit.

t8,

Angels are not composed of spirit as those that are composed of spirit cannot eat or be touched and Scripture testified of angels of both being touched and eating. Demons are spirits as are ghosts and neither is said to be touched or to have eaten in Scripture.

The word spirit can me applied to spirits in the sense they personalize the…[Read more]

Gene,

We have connotations for words and worship is one that our culture has the connotation that it only applies to God. In a thesaurus we are told it is a synonym of honor. Some versions of Scripture use worship where our culture would use honor. I think t8 is basing his understanding on the use of the word worship by those versions. He may…[Read more]

t8,

Paul is making against living according to the letter of the law and for living by the newness of Spirit of it in verses 1-6.

Regardless. He still said the following:

Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

To me, if we say we have no sin, we are a liar. The difference between the…

Ed,

Demons believe Jesus was raised from the dead but they are not sincere when the confess he is Lord with their mouth. Those that are sincere show that he is their Lord by their actions. He gave his disciples the command to “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy…[Read more]
