Addition,

“for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life”, 2 Corinthians 3:6.

It takes the Spirit to get the true understanding and all of its true effects.

SonofGod,

Then a person does not understand it.

T8,

My point is a earth in the shape of a rock is not a human being. The human being that is formed from it is a human being and like when God created Adam from earth and breathed life into it then the form became a living soul.

An angel as well as any other having a soul is a soul is already a living soul.

Is the creature soul destroyed when…[Read more]

T8,

SonofGod has a point as ‘Now the birth of Jesus Christ” tells us that it is the beginning of the creation called the Jesus Christ so it is clear the creation know as Jesus Christ did not exist previously.

So if your counter is correct and this equivalent to a rock or earth being recreated as a human being then it follows that just as a rock…[Read more]

SonofGod,

John wrote the word of I John 4:2-3 to a people who knew what he was speaking of today many misinterpret it because they lack the knowledge John’s hearers had. We can speculate about what it means but each person interprets it according to their own teachings.

Some believe John wrote it to warn believers about the error of the false…[Read more]

Wakeup,

Could you please repost those to the conversation thread they are in. Thank you.

T,

I agree that God does not change but he enacts different covenants.

T,
I used poor English so perhaps you misunderstood me.

There two times and the the second period started at Pentecost when Peter preached the good news to the Jews and converts to Judaism at Pentecost. The first four books of the New Testament bear witness to a time previous to that Pentecost.

T8,

What you said sounds right.

T8,

Some Scripture is God speaking his word through men while other is men that live by the spirit voicing what they witnessed. Prophecy and the Laws are God speaking his word. Witness accounts are men living by the spirit voicing their word.

T,

That is not what God states:

He states:

Jeremiah 31:31Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

You can see yourself that he states the new covenant is with the house of Israel and the house of Judah just like the…[Read more]

Wakeup,

That would make Jesus an exception to the rule that if he did not sacrifice himself and go away the councilor would not come. I agree he is for Jesus himself testified that he was the one that God sanctified and sent into the world, John 10:36. Believers are now sanctified in Christ Jesus, 1 Corinthians 1:2, and not in the old way of…[Read more]

Wakeup,

The spirit of the flesh will cease at death.

Our works will be judged according to the books,for some.
True christians will be judged according to mercy.

Where did you find these two claims in Scripture?

T,

God tells you there will be a new covenant. The first four books of the New Testament were written to bear witness that Jesus is the Christ. They also speak of the new covenant to come and address how to live a righteous life. Before the councilor was sent a believer could only be credited with righteousness. Afterwards that same believer…[Read more]

T,

There was a change between the time of the told of in the five gospels and the time of the letters(epistles). Between those two times the new covenant came into effect signed by the sacrifice of Jesus, empowered by the Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, and mediated by Jesus who is in heaven sitting on his throne.

I am not sure that is…[Read more]

Son of God,

Does breathing into = creating? Does breathing into a balloon make the balloon a living soul? Of course not.

Yes, as it can be a form of mixing. In this case when God mixed the man he made from the soul and the breath he created a living soul. When mix my breath with a empty balloon it then I make a full balloon.

T8,

I do not know the answer but I believe it is wisest to act like we choose from ourselves because that is what happens whether some are essentially children of the devil and some are essentially children of God. We also are not to boast that we are the children of God because of our own actions as that way lies the “better than thou” syndrome.

Wakeup,

Dwelling and visiting are two different things.

T8 and whomever is concerned,

I understand that God designed us to choose. I may have worded my question badly because what I really want to know is why we choose what we choose. If it is random or external to us then it is not free choice. Scripture speaks of those that hunger and thirst for righteousness and it also speaks of those that love…[Read more]

Wakeup,

Satan was cast from his place when he sinned but that does not mean Satan cannot still visit heaven. He visited it when he accompanied a group of the sons of God.

For example a man is cast out of house because he did not pay the bills. Even though the house is no longer his he can still visit. It is an mistake to say being cast out…[Read more]
