Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Nov. 16 2011,22:26)MIke………..So he agree with you what does that prove That you are not alone? O well so much for that, I will stick with what Jesus said , ” A SPIRIT DOES NOT HAVE (A) BODY” Just that simple to me and i don't need all kinds of different Meanings of the word Spirit to understand what it is < Jesus…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Nov. 16 2011,04:59)Kerwin: “spirit is a synonym of spirit”I think you meant to say, “spirit is a synonym of phantasm”.Good point, btw.  I'm anxious to see if Gene will now be able to grasp the truth of the matter that “spirit” has many different meanings in scripture.Mike,'Thank you for alerting me to my error so I could…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Nov. 15 2011,06:34)Kerwin……………..I believe one of the main reasons people are confused in religion is that they apply all kinds of meaning to Spirits, For instance some think Spirits are beings, but no scripture says there are Spirit beings in the bible,  Some think Spirits have Bodies but no description of any…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Nov. 14 2011,20:18)Mike…………….Spirit does not have all kinds of meanings as you falsely assume, it has only one meaning , Spirits are, simply put,  the intellects that abide (IN) a Person  They are expressed by our word and those  who have the Spirit of God can Judge those words and know if that person is of God or…[Read more]

Paladin,Quote You are correct. Now you know why I do not post very often. My mind gets ahead of my typing. We often learn by the doing which often means we also often make errors while we learn.   God places limits on us to aid us in seeking his righteousness and his kingdom.Quote Not at all. Jesus knew that no one can control what thoughts can…[Read more]

Paladin,Quote As for any gender issue, it only becomes an issue when someone insists God is genderless, or angels are mothers to spiritual beings. If the issue of gender in some way comes to effect the gospel of Christ then it becomes an critical issue.  Quote All males are “Ish” sometimes spelled “eesh.” All females are “ishi” sometimes spelled…[Read more]

T8,Quote Before Jesus died, the souls of men went to Hades in the place of the righteous or the place for the wicked. These parts of Hades were separate. That would be Tartarus and the paradise (pleasure garden) of Hades which still exist as Hades has not yet been thrown into Gehenna.Quote Jesus took the keys of Death and Hades through the victory…[Read more]

Paladin,It is nice to hear from you.  Quote 1st:The “women” of Zec 5:9 are not angels, they are women in a vision. “Women” in Hebrew is “eesh-shaw” but angel in verse 10 is “mal-lawk.” They are not the same.There are no female angels in scripture. Are angels always called “ma-lawk” or are they sometimes called by their gender?For example the two…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Nov. 08 2011,03:31)I already stopped, Kerwin.  That's why I didn't reply to your last post.  I know very little about the Book of Enoch; way too little to make any scriptural claims based upon it.I just though you might find it interesting that WHOEVER wrote Enoch (which by all accounts was written BEFORE Jesus became flesh) s…[Read more]

Mike,Quote Where does Enoch teach that angels marry?1 Enoch chapter 6Quote 1. And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. 2.

Mike,Quote Rule of Firstborn:The DEFAULT meaning of “firstborn” in the scriptures is “THE ONE BORN FIRST”.  On occasion, the scriptures identify someone who is not actually “THE ONE BORN FIRST”, but has had the title of “firstborn” applied to them.  IN EACH AND EVERY CASE like this, it is made crystal clear from the context that “firstborn”, in t…[Read more]
