Ed,

Acts 5:3-4 suggests that the HolySpirit is God – do you feel differently?

My spirit is me in the spiritual sense but I am more than my spirit.

My arm is me for when a person touches it they touch me but I am more than my arm.

If someone said I touched his arm, I touched would that suggest my arm was the whole me?

Those that blaspheme a…[Read more]

Ed and Nick,

And the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father and the Son

Yes!

That is why Jesus said they are one.

That is how they come to those that believe.

It is the unity of faith and Spirit.

Ed,

Islam did not set up an idol on the temple mound and Mahomet did not set of himself on the same Mound. Islam does not have a God of fortresses. Hadrian even made his dead friend a God, a God his ancestors did not know. One weakness in the hypothesis is the God of Fortresses is figurative and is not the God Hadrian declared. Still the case…[Read more]

Ed,

Bottom line is that Hadrian setting himself up on the Temple Mount and placing a statue of Zeus as well as a polytheistic temple on it as well is an abomination.

The Muslim Temple does not come near that because they honor God and that is one of the requires of being a righteous Gentile. They are enemies in they teach heresy and have a…[Read more]

Ed,

Hi Kerwin,

Irrelevant and OFF TOPIC

This reveals that you do not even know what the topic is.

The Catholic Church has been teaching an Anti-Christ doctrine since the Forth Century. Islam would not appear on the scene for at least another two centuries and it doctrine was AntiTrinitarian. It is a case of Satan’s kingdom being divided…[Read more]

Ed,

The bible is to viewed as a whole …do you believe otherwise?

There is one message in Scripture but what God says to one prophet does not necessary to another prophet or even to another prophecy by the same prophet.

When a teacher takes God’ words and a teacher puts them in a context where the result is no longer true then that teacher i…[Read more]

Ed,

Catholic claim Jesus is God and that is blaspheme for it accuses God of being subject to being tempted by evil. Like Islam they preach a Jesus that is not the Jesus testified by Scripture. Instead they preach a Jesus that is a God-Emperor, like Hadrian who is knowing for his worship of the God of Fortresses as he built Hadrian’s Wall and…[Read more]

Ed,

I have heard that 1 day = 1 year applied to the EU and to the the Catholic Church by false prophets for many years and you are just another in a long line of those that abuse Scripture to support their own opinions. The truth is that the time will come like a thief in the night and catch everyone off-guard that is not careful to watch…[Read more]

Ed,

1) Witness number 1 the Prophet Ezekiel (Ezekiel 4:6):
“I have appointed thee each day for a year”

The witness does not apply to Daniel since Daniel and Ezekiel are different prophets.

The Jews were allowed to enter the Roman Jerusalem one day out of each year.

Stop misusing Scripture to support your own fears and hopes.

A statue of Zeu…[Read more]

Miia,

Most Christian are not Christians from the heart because they do walk according to the fruits. It is unrealistic to expect anyone to abide by the words of Jesus if they do not live according to the Spirit. There are some that are able to but the fruits of the flesh are oppressive and it take various amounts of sufferance to resist…[Read more]

By the time of Islam, much less the Ottoman Empire, the Roman with the Catholic Church established as its state religion and before its establishment had been exterminating the true church and any false they chose. It was the Catholic Church of the West that called the Crusades to aid the Eastern Roman Empire again the Islamic forces.…[Read more]

Nick,

Have you ever looked?

Nick,

In Matthew 1:2 it states the angel of the Lord when it means God. It is done a number of other times in Matthew, even to Jesus calling God the Lord in 4:10. A lot of times in the New Testament as well as the old the title “the Lord” is referring to God.

Nick,

God also holds the title of the Lord. It is context that reveals whether the title refers to Jesus or to God.

Nick,

I tend to think the Lord mentioned in 2 Corinthians is God since it later states “and we all, with unveiled faces reflecting the glory of the Lord..” but the wording is such that it is reasonable to see it as Jesus. The difference is not sufficient since God is the source of the Spirit and Jesus is the conduit of the source.

Nick,

Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty

2cor 3.17

Its a parallel to these words.

John 4:24New English Translation (NET Bible)

24 God is spirit, and the people who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

It is also a parallel of:

Nick,

I assume you do not mean the same thing Ed does when you say “The Lord is now the Spirit”.

t8,

Here is some context that may help.

John 16:7New English Translation (NET Bible)

7 But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I am going away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you.

This one reveals the use of all which you already know and I am merely reminding…[Read more]

Miia,

Joseph was considering putting Mary away because she was with child. She was promised to him and it was his thought, though mistaken, that she carried another man’s child. The angel came and informed him the child was a miracle of God and not another man’s child. The bible treats his attempted actions as righteous.

Jesus was not…[Read more]
