Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 14 2014,12:21)Hi KW,We know of a few hours of his life before the baptisms and you speculate he was already anointed? God, his father, was with him.Nick,You really should learn the meaning of words before you use them.  Speculate means “form a theory or conjecture about a subject without firm evidence.”  I looked it up o…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 14 2014,11:03)Hi KW, Should we speculate?Nick,Speculation itself is vain but the teaching about the resurrection is only derived from the Old Testament by the application of reasoning such as Jesus used with the Sadducees. In using reason Jesus was not speculating.A similar application of reasoning shows us only those…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Mar. 09 2014,23:41)1.  Can you see that the phrase “the word” means different things in the two examples?  2.  Would you ever use #2 to prove that #1 doesn't refer to a living, breathing BEING?  3.  Would you ever use #2 to prove that the Word and the King from #1 are the same, identical person or being?Mike,This is where the…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 14 2014,01:45)Hi, “there is one Spirit” is the overarching fact.

Mike,The words are literally “of earth” and “of heaven”.  The made can be implied in some cases with the Koine Greek word translated earthly. The earthly and heavenly are opposite side of the same coin.  If your are speaking of a body composed of earth then its opposite is a body composed of heaven.  If it is instead it is a body that is “i…[Read more]

Mike,I tend to believe the correct definition is “temporal, passing away; transient” and not the literal “made of the dirt” you favor. Heavenly is similar to earthly and the Koine Greek word means “of heaven” Quote 2032 epouránios (an adjective, derived from 1909 /epí, “on, fitting,” which intensifies 3772 /ouranós, “heaven”) – properly, heav…[Read more]
