Nick,

There is a new earth and a old earth and the only difference is one is freed from bondage to corruption. Paradise is in the third heaven and the tree of Life is still in its center. Only humanity was cast out so the flora and fauna, except possibly the serpent, still remain. You also know that flesh and blood can enter the current heavens…[Read more]

Lightenup.

Godhead is an English word and you are misinterpreting it to mean the literal head of God. It is actually more like Godhood but time has caused hood to evolve to head. The meaning is having the attributes of God. An equivalent word is godliness.

There is but one God and that is the one Jesus call his Father and our Father. It is…[Read more]

Ed,

I asked for clarification!

Gene,

I see what you mean and I agree until I have information that convinces me otherwise. Hadrian only fills the first few verses. Of course if it is talking about his position then a later emperor did back the Trinitarian faith as well as Arianism and others.

Jael,

Most Trinitarians do not believe that us is used in the sense communicating with the other members of the unity of the Spirit. Did you unintentional omit a “not” in the related sentence?

The “us” is used in the sense of a coach telling his team-members, including those which will not actually play, “Let’s go out and win one”. It is…[Read more]

Nick,

You misapply scripture as the gospel was not given to nullify citizenship in earthly nations.

Paul did not deny his citizenship. (Romans 11:1)

Instead true Christians are united in the Spirit.

Nick,

All the wisdom that James is speaking about has the characteristics of being devilish, sensual, and early though not all wisdom has those characteristic.

I am speaking in regards to James words and he chose to use words that are about this world and the thing of this world but there is a world to come. Are you accusing James of being…[Read more]

Ed,

Your question is too vague.

Here is a clarifying question.

Do you mean the savior that was promised to come but had not yet saved anyone from their sins?

Gene,

Hadrian built a study of himself and placed on the Temple mount. He also created another God of a friend who died. Chances are he also claimed he was God since the imperial cult would teach that. He pretty much literally fulfilled that passage.

Nick,

Do have trouble understanding that the writers of the NT wrote as a Jew to Jews and as a Gentile to Gentiles?

@jael,

God was most likely speaking as a member of the unity of the Spirit in which messengers and servants take part. We are told that their part was to celebrate when he pit the foundation stone in place.

That passage is vague as it was wrote with unwritten context so it is open to interpretation.

Note: If it is line with other creation…[Read more]

Gene.

Hadrian seems to have fulfilled that particular prophecy.

Nick,

You might not understand the meaning of “earthy” or “sensual” but you do understand the meaning of “devilish” and it means devil like.

In other words you are accusing Jesus of using devil-like wisdom by claiming that passage describes logic in general.

In reality he was using the wisdom that comes from God in his use of logic.

Nick,

This wisdom descendeth not from above but is earthy, sensual, devilish….jas 3.15

The words “earthy, sensual, devilish” tells us that it is wisdom of the flesh as opposed to wisdom of the Spirit. Jesus did not use wisdom of the flesh for he never sinned though tempted as common to humanity.

Nick,

Sorry. I missed the capital in Body. I am not sure you are correct as there were 120 disciples before that point though they were not part of the unity of the Spirit until then.

Nick,

By the plan of God the Body of Christ was not formed on earth till Jesus went to heaven.

Where is that written?

@EdJ,

Is the English phraseology “have seen” past tense or future tense?

The context reveals it is past tense used as present tense since Simon was viewing Jesus at that time which fulfilled the promise made to him.

@EdJ,

2) See my next question relating to this question below

3) Yes – see John 16:7

So the Spirit that saves us by its workings only came because Jesus went away. In short it is Jesus’ action of “going away” that saves us.

Do you agree? (Yes or No)

Here us a relevant passage:

Titus 3:4-7Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
