Ed,

Jesus teaches us to seek God’s righteousness and God does not son.

Being satisfied before you have reached the goal is loosing the race.

We are to run as if to win the goal.(1 Corinthians 9:23-25)

Ed.

Where are the post numbers located?

Ed,

Nicodemus was not a spirit – so there is NO Nicodemus the spirit in that verse; PERIOD!

By those words you deny that a man must be born of Spirit.

For Jesus told Nicodemus ” Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again” (John 3:7) and he was not speaking of the flesh.

Humans are both flesh and spirit for the flesh was made o…[Read more]

Ed,

Since Nicodemus is a man you are dodging my question instead of answering it.

You also tried to make a point that Jesus is not a man is spite of passages of the writing that call him a man.

Jesus also needed to be born of Spirit.

It is only sinners that need to be born again.

The question was not about Jesus or the inhabitants of the…[Read more]

Ed,

The Spirit of Christ is in unity with the Spirit of God;
when we are born of the Spirit, our spirit too
is in unity with the Spirit of God!

I assume the answer is yes, you do believe in the unity of the Spirit.

Ed.

Ed,
The reason I cited blessed are the meek is that you are bearing the form of a certain Pharisee that prayed to God and not the form of the publican.

In a conversation there is part A that is doing the talking, party b that is being spoken too, and party c that is being spoken about.

Which party is them?

Here is an example

Ed,

Jesus asked a question and the Pharisees chose not to answer it but Paul answers it in the first chapter of Romans. Believe what Paul claims or not. That is your free choice.

Ed,

Do you believe that all are one in the unity of the Spirit?

Because if you did then you would know my words are not spin.

The unity is God is Jesus through the one Spirit and both are in believers by the same Spirit. They are all one, which is united.

The reverse is also true. Believers are in both God and Jesus through the one Spirit…[Read more]

Ed,

I believe in Scripture: “AKJV Bible”

Obviously not since you misinterpret its words.

Of course I choose to believe that is due to lack of learning rather than lack of stability. (2 Peter 3:16)

Then again you are stumbling on smooth ground so my choice may be in error.

Jesus is right to say “blessed are the meek …” (Matthew 5:5) We wou…[Read more]

Ed,

Sorry Kerwin, But the word “Human” is not in the bible. Trying to read
your preconceived ideas into the text will not change what it says.

Are you still going by the letter of the Law?

Man is a synonym of human in the words Paul speaks to Timothy. I am sure you are aware of that so why did you post these words?

Terrarica,

but then what about our freewill and all we do with it becomes useless ?

Free will is necessary to the plan but those that claim it cannot be predicted by he that knows the hearts of all are in error.

God’s foreknowledge of our free choice does not render them useless because we have to make those choices to reap the results of…[Read more]

Nick,

Time is a construct of creation.

God is outside of time.

I agree but does terrarica?

Terrarica,

• The angels were made already possessing the Spirit of God.
• Adam and Eve may have been made possessing it as well since they were made upright.
• Jesus was made with it as well.
• Believers from fallen humanity were sinners before receiving it.
• God has eternally had it but as the source he is the Parent and not one of the children.

Ed,

“Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me,
he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and
we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” (John 14:23)

It is the unity of the Spirit. “One” means united.

Ed,

“I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me” (John 6:38)

There are two origins for Jesus written in Scripture. On has him as the son of David-Solomon and the other has him as the Son of David-Nathan. I am not sure which one is through Mary since both lines are credited to Joseph on his father’s sid…[Read more]

Ed,

Do not get on me for what Paul said to Timothy.

Paul stated is was the human Jesus Christ, who gave his life for everyone.

I am just the messenger.

Here is another passage that states much the same thing.

Hebrews 2:14-15Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also…

David,

ask @admin or @t8 about permissions to post images.

David,

I am a mix of different people that may have not associated that early so technically it might have been impossible for me to exist as me.

But I really do not care about the health care of the time or anything else of that nature. One time is much the same as another with me being required to adapt to it. I would make a lousy soldier.…[Read more]

David,

Violence is declining globally. It has been for a few millennia.

That is an all statement and you cannot prove all statement unless you have the ability to accurately survey every situation. I do not believe that conclusion can be made by either inductive or deductive reasoning. About the best you can do is deductive reason which is…[Read more]
