Nick,

Hi KW,

You think it is automatic?

Any scriptural evidence?

Peter did not say and sometimes you will receive the promise of the Holy Spirit. He said “and you will receive the promise of the Holy Spirit”. He was speaking to that those that were “pricked in their heart” and whom also believe his message and not a false message so I can…[Read more]

Gene,

Why should his “FLESH” REST IN HOPE? IF HIS FLESH WAS NOT PART OF HIS LIVING SOUL.?

Because it will be reunited with its soul and it will not see corruption.

Gene,

Psa 16:9….Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: MY “FLESH” ALSO RESTS IN HOPE. WHY?, BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT LEAVE MY SOUL IN HELL; NEITHER WILL YOU SUFFER YOUR HOLY ONE TO SEE CORUPTION.

I consider you irrational on this is which means that reasoning with you on it serves no purpose until your reason reasserts itself on this…[Read more]

Nick,

The only teaching I know is Peter’s words on Pentecost. He told those believers to be immersed in water and they would receive the promise of the Holy Spirit. I am convinced his words are true.

Given his words are true then these people of Samaria also received the promise of the Holy Spirit when they were immersed but nerveless they…[Read more]

bodhitharta,

Thank you for the compliment. I am what I am by the grace of God, he is great and loving.

Nick,

God will give the Holy Spirit to those that ask provided they also seek and knock (Matthew 7:7-8). If you fail to seek it or take opportunity when it knocks then you really do not want it.

Ananias asked Paul why he tarried (Acts 22:16) and the Eunuch was eager to be immersed (Acts 8:36)

Nick,

Jesus told the Eleven to teach all nations to observe all things he taught them (Matthew 28:16-20) and Peter was doing just that when he instructed those that believed to be immersed and told them that as a result they would receive the promise of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:33).

bodhitharta,

I’m just saying if the end of death’s reign happened with Moses or the Law then death was defeated but Jesus said this:

Matthew 19:17
And He said unto him, “Why callest thou Me good? There is none good but One, that is, God. But if thou wilt enter into Life, keep the commandments.”

Now this is Jesus talking and yet everyon…

DavidH,

” He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.”

We have the abstract concept of the Word of God personalized as a male. I believe Philo, the Jew, did the same thing as John, the Jew, does here providing that “he” is the cor…[Read more]

DavidL,

John 17:5 – “Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.”

This is Jesus asking God to fulfill what the plan God has had for Jesus since before the world began. Romans 8:29-30 speaks of believers in much the same way. If we are convinced that God knows all things we know…[Read more]

David,

Philippians 2:6 – “who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped.”

I do not believe God has an outer form as he existed before he created space and if there is no space there is no outer form. That is why he is called the invisible God.

God does have inner form and that form is hi…[Read more]

DavidL,

The false prophets have always claimed that their words were revealed to them by God. If their words are soothing to the itching ears of those who do not seek God’s righteousness then they are accepted as men while the true prophets are not.

The false teachers are still doing the same and those love darkness are still doing the…[Read more]

DavidL,

logic only deceives and misleads

This statement is an untruth and accuses Jesus of sin for Jesus used logic. So, do you not read where he uses logic to prove that Abraham and Isaac are alive despite the fact their body is dead. Do you fail to understand that Paul reasoned in the marketplace of Athens just as Scripture states. Do you…[Read more]

DavidL,

God is the A and the Z because he is both the first God and the Last God, the only God is the set. Jesus is the first and the last because he is the only Son in the set.

DavidL,

Have you not read in Scripture that God dwells in those that believe through his Spirit. (1 Corinthians 3:16) In a like manner he dwells in the King he made Lord over all things that are in heaven and on earth. Just as God dwells in those that believe through hi Spirit so does the human being that mediates between God and humanity dwell…[Read more]

ED J,

I can see where a person can claim the his words condemned him as a false prophet for he died he prophesied the he would if he turned away from God. The claim relies on believing the murderer is the sword of God and that the words “cut off the artery of my heart” are no just way of saying die. It is a way to undermine his credibility and…[Read more]

bodhitharta,

John 3:17
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Creation is not condemned but this world of sin is. God did not send his Spirit into the world to condemn the world but to condemn this current world of sin just as Noah condemned the world of sin that existed…[Read more]

bodhitharta,

Jesus saves the world because he condemns this world of sin, which is currently bound to decay. At the end of times creation will be delivered from that bondage as the the children of God have been being delivered since the Pentecost when believers first received the promised Holy Spirit when they were immersed in water. It is by…[Read more]

David,

The reason I believe in the trinity is because I know that the Deity of Jesus Christ is inspired

The teaching of the Trinity is not in Scripture and only those that lack knowledge of the message or are corrupt find that Jesus is called God in it.

The Catholic Church time to standardize the teaching of the Trinity as it tenets were…[Read more]
