Acts 19:13-17Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. 14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. 15 And the…

Nick,

I agree.

Nick,

He is inspired which is why I pointed out that reason or anything else that is based on the Spirit is not condemned by Scripture but nevertheless you are still condemning it because you have been taught by human beings to condemn it.

God can speak the whole gospel to whomever he chooses without using humans as tools to do so and yet he…[Read more]

The justification for given into their own desires was based on false reasoning.

Scripture declares Jesus and God are one and it also declares are one with Jesus and God even as Jesus and God are one yet Trinitarians will insist that it means completely different things when talking about Jesus than when talking about believers. They need no…[Read more]

Nick,

I do not see reasoning of any type in it. I see human beings moved by the desires of the flesh that then sought rationalization for their choice.

Nick,

You are essentially claiming that because Paul reason from Scripture that it is his private interpretation.

Private interpretation is interpretation that comes from the flesh and not from the Spirit.

Scripture does not condemn reason or anything else that is based on the Spirit and that should be enough for you not to condemn it.…[Read more]

Nick,

Hi KW,

As a logician you confuse inference with spiritual words.

God is the God of Abraham because God is the God of the Living and Abraham is still alive in the Spirit of God.

Spiritual words can be inferences.

God uses them for the same reason Jesus uses parables and other mystic words. Jesus saw the implication of the words…[Read more]

Nick,

Hi 94,

God does not teach through inference and supposition.

Carnal men attempting to reconcile scripture ADD concepts to help them.

Actually God does teach by implication which is why Jesus pointed out the implications of the verse that declared God is the God of Abraham and Isaac.

Inference and supposition are not actual…[Read more]

DavidL,

It simply CANNOT be comprehended alone by the natural mind – which is the very reason WHY it is debated and rejected on this web site..but comes to us only by way of REVELATION from the Spirit through the Word of God…(you must be born again).

DavidL,

That is how deluded we also can get by relying on our own natural understanding to interpret the meaning or context of Scripture.

Do you mean “natural” as in knowledge that is a work of the flesh, which is to say based on the principles of humanity.

A number of centuries ago human beings who lived by the flesh adapted the teaching of…[Read more]

God has many children in reference to the Spirit.

DavidL,

Oh come on Kerwin..

Not vague words – just basic logic…

Can a person have the Father without the Son or the Holy Spirit..?
Simple answer – no..
The Three work together as One.

English is often vague which is one reason why miscommunication occurs.

In what way do you mean have?

If you are speaking Spiritually then God lives in a…[Read more]

DavidL,

Have you ever bothered to test the Spirit of your chosen doctrine?

You do not seem to have Scriptural support for it and you rely on others to promote it for you.

The Trinity has three Gods.

1) God the Father
2) God the Son
3) God the Spirit

Those three Gods are one God despite that absurdity if that statement.

The fact that it is a…[Read more]

DavidL,

You are using vague words that resemble the word of John but do not have the same spirit.

1 John 2:23New English Translation (NET Bible)

23 Everyone who denies the Son does not have the Father either. The person who confesses the Son has the Father also.

You are denying the Son of God by calling him the one true God. Jesus called…[Read more]

DavidL,

There is no unity of three gods in Scripture but there is a unity of faith.

DavidL,

There is no unity of three gods in Scripture but their unity of faith.

DavidL,

I do not listen to these much as they cannot be cross examined. I would rather read Scripture and let God choose to reveal what he wants when he wants. The Spirit leads to Christ and teaches.

DavidL,

Nowhere in Scripture is it written that God would not exist with the Son. Since the Spirit is part of him it is absurd to suggest he could exist without part of himself.

DavidL,

DavidL,

Who or what is the rock the out assembly of Christ is based on?

You did not answer my question.

DavidL,

The Three are One in Unity…Tri-Unity
You simply cannot have the Father without the Son or the Holy Spirit..period.

You misuse the words of Scripture.

You can come to God but through Jesus Christ the Son of God’s Spirit
God sends his Spirit in Jesus’ name.
You must live by the Spirit in order to inherit the reign of God.

You cannot g…[Read more]
