To all,1 Corinthians 13(NIV)4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Mar. 23 2011,22:24)Wispring………….Just look up the Hebrew word for Soul and the look at all the scriptures using that word and see what they say and you will find out the Soul is the (COMPLETE PERSON), which is a BODY and SPIRIT. Genesis, does not say a man became a LIVING SOUL,(NEPHESH)  , by having a BODY and A SOUL…[Read more]

Quote (Wispring @ Mar. 23 2011,14:51)To All,OK. I was wrong on that line of reason. It was a theory and wanted help running it up against scripture. Thanks!                                                          With Love and Respect,                                                                       WispringUnderstood as I do the s…[Read more]

To all,If this is about the coptic version of John then it should be in the forum titled “The Bible”.If this is instead about the correct interpretation of John 1 then there are other threads about that.Please try to make it easier on others by posting in the apropriate areas and makeing as few threads as possible about the same general topic.  Thank you.

Pierre,Is vengence and justice the same thing?What does Paul teach us Love is.  Are we not to apply that attitude to our enemies as well as others?

To all,Love does not tolerate (reconize and respect) sin though it does suffer(endure as pain) it in oneself and others.

Pierre,It would be both since if one sees a person in need and has the way to aid them but instead states I will pray for you and does nothing to aid them commits a sin.We learn from it and more.

Marty,The disciples baptised the faithful in water for the forgiveness of their sins previous to the Great Commandment. All I know of this alternative translation is Eusebius is said to have quoted from it. He being a Trinitarian did not see it as contradicting the Trinitarian tenet.Quote In addition to the early versions, citations of Biblical…[Read more]

Wispring,It seems I misunderstood you. I am sorry!

Wisping,I failed to find the old post I was planning on bumbing so here is a new one.This passage from scripture shows the flaw in your conclusion that the soul is the whole being.1 King 17:21(KJV) 21And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into…[Read more]

I already have and showed the flaws in it. I plan on bumping some of the reasoning in the Soul thread where, if the Lord so wills, I am heading next.

Quote (Wispring @ Mar. 22 2011,10:28)Hi everyone,OK. Try this line of reason on for size. 1.) The Body is a thing2.) The Spirit is a thing3.) The Living Soul is a definition or description of what occurs when thing #1 and #2 are combined by Gods doing.                                                     With Love and Respect,                …[Read more]

To all,It is my opinion that this thread belongs in the forum titled “The Bible” since it is a debate betwen early manuscripts of scripture”.
