Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Sep. 23 2011,05:45)Quote (t8 @ Sep. 23 2011,08:34)But Gene, your definition of soul as a combination of parts can only mean that you teach that we the soul are the whole being.If the soul is the whole being, then when we get a new spirit and a new body, then all the parts are replaced, and so why is it that we are not…[Read more]

Gene,I believe you are confused by the use of “synecdoche” in scripture. Examples of synecdoche are “all hands on deck” and “Get your butt over here”. I doubt you believe that either the hands or the butt are the whole man even though they are used to mean the whole manSo when you look at Genesis2:7 the living soul is either the whole being or…[Read more]

Mike,Quote You mean like Jesus being a pre-existent being who was having glory alongside his God before emptying himself to be made in the likeness of a human being? I do not see that explicit idea expressed in the Writings.Quote Are you saying that there is no need for an explicite scripture saying “JESUS PRE-EXISTED HIS FLESH” when so much of…[Read more]

Pierre,Quote you are confused in the spirit of Christ ,go on the internet and ask the question how is Christ the descendant of David and you will see then ,if you accept this truth , Scripture states that in the body he is the primary descendant of David.    As for the internet, what expert(s) do you believe teaches while being carried along by t…[Read more]

Gene,This is what scripture states:Quote Genesis 2 King James Version (KJV)7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Mike,Quote NOR does scripture say that Jesus was the Root of David's FAITH, Kerwin.  It says that Jesus is the Root of DAVID – not his faith.
