Jammin,I see you choose to mock what you do not understand instead of seeking the truth. You need to repent. If you care for serving God then consider the words of 1 Peter 2:12 and Jude 1:10 if not then the result is on your head.Seek God and his righteousness.

Nick,There is passages about righteousness being a gift, Romans 5:17. Jesus also taught us that the Spirit will teach us all things, John 14:26.

Nick,I agree the Sheol has a place for the wicked and a place for the righteous souls. I do not believe Jesus spoke with ghosts on that mountain. I am not sure of your opinion on the manner. I do know the body of a man rests on earth and the soul descends to Sheol.

Nick,Jesus “added” in ideas when he made his argument before the Sadducee that there is a resurrection. Since those ideas are from God then if one of the Sadducees answered Jesus with the same words you did he would be wrong. Seek God and his righteousness.

Nick,Scripture does not address the meaning of English words. Teachers give the gift of knowledge. I am surprised you do not know that.

Wakeup,I agree that Satan has been on earth since before he tempted Eve and that in tempting her he sinned and left the kingdom of God. In his sin he also pulled down a third of the heavenly host.Even though he came to earth and caused the fall of his fellow rebels Ephesians 6:12 teaches us there is still a war against spiritual wickedness in the…[Read more]

Nick,Teaching is a form of giving as the instructor gives knowledge to the student.

Nick,I agree. I am speaking of the spirit of a man, which when fully taught, bears with with God's spirit of the righteousness of God as its fruit has become the same as the spirit. Like a man God has a spirit and a soul. It is our spiritual side that is like God.

Nick,I was assuming you would know which passage I was speaking of when I said we are to live by the fruit of the spirit. It is Galatians 5:16 to the end of the chapter that speaks of the conflict between that natural and spiritual and bearing the fruits of the Spirit. The spirit of a man is like the spirit God in that you bear its fruit. A man…[Read more]

Nick,Quote Jude 1:9New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)9 But when the archangel Michael contended with the devil and disputed about the body of Moses, he did not dare to bring a condemnation of slander against him, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” That is the only reason I can see that there was any dispute over the body of Moses.Jesus spoke to Mos…[Read more]

Mike,Quote Luke 9:27“Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”John saw the kingdom of God though he died before inheriting it. The book of Revelation is his account of seeing it.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 16 2014,10:26)Hi KW,Ps 5110 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.Surely this is one of the times when spirit means soul.Nick,I do not believe so as we are told to be the fruits of the Spirit of God and so a human spirit is the part of man that bears fruit. The heart may be soul.

Mike,Prophecy is often metaphoric. Sometimes it a mixture of metaphoric and literal.  You need to be careful in parsing it.  I doubt that there are literally souls under the altar of heaven as the claim sounds metaphoric.  A possible meaning is it is the place Jesus sacrificed himself especially since the book of Hebrews seems to confirm it. So it…[Read more]

Mike,Quote It doesn't matter, because Jesus only used the word FLESH, Kerwin.  Jesus effectively took away your “flesh and BONE can enter” argument – long before Paul ever wrote his first letter to the Corinthians.  So it's time you give it up – don't you think?Jesus is speaking of the renewal of the spirit, Psalms 51:10, something any teacher o…[Read more]

Mike,Quote So you think FLESH can enter, all by itself? And BLOOD can enter, all by itself?But they can't enter as a combination?That would be the literal interpretation. If Paul meant only flesh could not inherit then why add the words “and blood”?Note: Be careful not to read into my words. I am investigating not stating a conclusion.

Wakup,I believe you insist Jesus was a spirit being who revealed flesh and bone as evidence he was not a spirit. Any comments?

Quote (Wakeup @ May 15 2014,06:06)Quote (kerwin @ May 15 2014,07:55)Wakeup,Quote The ten commandments is imposible to follow in perfection.The rich young ruler followed them and Jesus did not challenge his claim.  Instead Jesus challenged him to give all his riches to the poor and giving to the poor is not mentioned in the first ten commandments…[Read more]

Wakeup,Always be careful with all things prophetic.  There are at two signs in heaven.  One is the woman(the kingdom of heaven that is the net) and she is with child(the Messiah) and the second one which is the dragon whose tail has already removed a third of the angels from heaven and cast them to earth, the same earth he was on when he stood b…[Read more]

Mike,Quote The form of God is described in many scriptures, by men who were taken to heaven in visions and dreams.It is men who have never seen God that speak of seeing the similitude of God.  It is clear they could not of seen the literal similitude of God but a metaphorical similitude is a whole different thing.

Mike,Quote ohn 3:13 NASB ©No one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man.It is the same Greek word “oudeis” in that verse too, Kerwin. But would you understand that to mean Gabriel is still on earth after visiting Daniel…….. because LITERALLY NO ONE has ascended to heaven?Or do you understand from the…[Read more]
