Pierre,Quote can you not see that you are mixing two thing that are different of each other lookI hear your opinion that I am mixing two things but do not know what things you believe I am mixing when I site scripture passages that instruct us that God employs his Spirit through and by his Son to create a spirit in us that is like his in true…[Read more]

Mike,Quote I ask the same question for each of the scriptures I listed – none of which have the “internally consistent teaching” of “the act of creationHere is what Wikipedia states about the “internally consistency” method of research.I believe internal consistency has to do with the context of the whole which is why I looked at the whole context…[Read more]
