Nick,

Natural man walks in his own light and does not know God’s opinion of his way.

Yes

T,

I am not following your comment as I do not see where  what you said changes anything about what we are speaking about.

Gene,

Scripure say when a man dies his “spirit” goes back to God, who gave it

I think that is the breath God breathes into the nostrils of humanity.

The soul is different as Scripture states it goes to Sheol; aka Hades or Hell.

According to God man cannot destroy the soul by killing another person.  All they can destroy is the body.  Your teach…[Read more]

Nick,

Logic is a tool that most people fail to understand correctly.  Jesus used it correctly.

Nick,

I do not see it that way as it essentially means the power of the Spirit.  You require faith to use it.

Nick,

SPIRITUAL EFFORT?

Is that grace to you?

It is a gift from God.

T,

The point I am making is in 2 John 1:6.

Gene,

I am not seeing the answer to my question.  This is the third time I am mentioning it.  Do you agree with dictionaries that the English word god has more than one definition?

@t8,

kerwin, yes it is written, but in what sense were they gods though. As mighty or great ones, as the offspring of God who share his nature like Adam being the man of men for example, or what?

they walk on in darkness:

T,

A path for forgiveness existed under the covenant of Mt. Sinai.

miia,

The Ten Commandments are a small part of the Law of Moses.  The first five books of the Bible contain the whole law.  The children of Israel were instructed to obey the whole Law in Deuteronomy.  A person who picks ten commandments out of all those commandments and chooses to follow just them is a Lawbreaker.

Human effort is all that th…[Read more]

T

you got it wrong ;Jesus stated only two commandments and said that those two were the foundation of them all ;and so ALL SINS ARE INCLUDED IN THOSE TWO ;EITHER YOU BREAK UP THE ONE OF GOD OR YOU BREAK THE ONE THAT DEALS WITH OUR FELLOW MAN

I am referring to another passage than the one that you mention but the two are not in disagreement.  We…[Read more]

Gene,

It is written in the book of Deuteronomy 10:17 that Moses said during his final speech that Jehovah god is god of gods.  I am confident Moses was speaking the word of God in that speech.

In Psalms 82:6 is written that God claimed he said that the children of Israel were both gods and children of the most high.

In Deuteronomy 14:1 during…[Read more]

Gene,

You did not answer my question.  Do you agree that Merriam-Webster and other English language dictionaries are correct when they claim their is more than one definition for the word god?

T8,

Abaddon is the Angel of the Abyss according to the above. That brings up another name though, “Abyss“.

The Abyss sounds like a synonym of wither Sheol or Abaddon.

Abandon is mentioned in OT.   The angel of the NT name but Hades also bears the name of Hades the place he rules.

Gene,

I do not remember what brought up the topic of Eden but it is by thought God removed it from the earth when the earth was flooded and placed it in the third heaven.  I think that is why Paul called the third heaven paradise.

@t8,

kerwin, I suppose you realise that I was not saying or implying that the son of God in the genealogies was Jesus Christ.

It is something that struck me at the moment.  The question is, why wasn’t he called the son of God in his own genealogies?

LU,

I do not agree that the Son of God is the first of creation. He is the beginning of the creation of God. I do agree that He is the supreme leader of creation in heaven and earth.

I think I see what you are trying to say but words can be tricky as first does mean leader.  I assume when you use it in your first sentence you are addressing those…[Read more]
