Quote (Wispring @ April 22 2011,11:50)To all,Quote 12Giving thanks to the Father who did make us meet for the participation of the inheritance of the saints in the light, My understanding of this line of scripture is that God is being thanked for making Paul and all whom Paul preached the gospel to be competent in or qualifying for participation…[Read more]

To all,I agree with Irene that we are transfered into the rulership of Jesus The King of Kings by obeying the Spirit of Christ; for Jesus speaks to us through it.Quote Romans 8:23(NIV)Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.

Quote (seekingtruth @ April 22 2011,01:28)I voted at conception, however there is some debate in the phrases “mother (or father) to be” if the child does not make it to fruition some would argue that you failed to meet the criteria. I disagree, we lost a child in the second trimester and I believe like David “I will go to him (her), but he (she)…[Read more]

Paladin,Some doctrinal tenets are tied in with the various incarnation doctrines.  I forget which specific one you are discussing but anything that when properly understood contradicts it in scripture disproves it.I have discussed my understanding that the Spirit of God is incarnated in Jesus the human being.I have went off topic at least once.
