Gene,Words are used to transfer knowledge, not intelect between two parties.

Terraricca,I am not sure I am catching on to your reasoning.  I do agree that my initial assessment of 2 Corinthians 3:17 appears to be wrong which means untrue.  If I correct that statement to make it true it does not invalidate my reasoning that the scripture in question is not calling Jesus a spiritual being.Now  I think you are stating that be…[Read more]

Gene,I am calling the spirit old in relation to new and rather than stating it is ancient.I am still going to say that “intellect” is equivalent to intelligence and God does not show favoritism based on it.  In is rather the knowledge of righteousness that leads to deeds he shows favoritism for.Nick did introduce an interesting scripture in Roma…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 02 2010,12:09)Hi KW, Why did you have to add your theology above at the end?The spirit of every man is neither old nor replaced except at death. The Spirit of righteousness is within, with our own spirit, if you are in Christ. Rom 8.16So are you claiming there is no need for a new spirit?If you old spirit is not corrupt…[Read more]

Choosenone,In this case you may be having trouble with the English langage as the “first in the series” is where the series origionates and the “last in the series” is where the series finishes or consumates.The last I heard God was eternal having no beginnig and no end, Genesis 21:33 and Deuteronomy 33:27.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 02 2010,01:11)Hi KW, Thanks. It was Mk7. The Spirit of God living within restores the heart with love and educates the mind. We receive a new heart and mind transformed by renewal.The new spirit is the Spirit of God. Sinful behavior is the expression though our choice of what dwells within, sin.You are welcome.  I am…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 01 2010,14:44)Hi KW, You may well boast of scriptural understanding but it is strange that you prefer your own concepts.Now you add more. Why not seek the Spirit who wrote scripture and you would not need these clumsy inventions.It is what is within men that makes them unclean. But the blood of Jesus can wash the inside…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 01 2010,13:12)Hi KW, No mere weak logic lets you down again. The fruit expressed by natural men is that of submission to their lusts.Jesus came to cleanse the inside of the cup so that God's Spirit can dwell within and produce good fruit.I understand you have trouble comprehending scripture and it seems what I write as…[Read more]

Jodi Lee,I believe some are referring to 2 Corinthians 3:17 which is actually referring to God and not Jesus.  Still they are taking it at a slant to the way it is intended by Paul is as the Spirit to God as our spirit is to us.  It would also be to Jesus in a like manner as his Spirit is God's spirit.  In fact when we are born again in spirit th…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 01 2010,07:41)Hi KW, What is this “impure spirit of many”Another name for your novel corrupted spirit concept?You should know as you claim to read and understand scripture.  Remember the “them” in Numbers 14:20-25 that had a more impure, or as Princess of the King pointed out unclean, spirit than Caleb.   To the shame o…[Read more]

Gene,Some of these individuals seem to advocate not teaching anything that is not in scripture but when you point out Scripture does not speak of a preexistence spiritual being they ignore that and do what they say not to do. I believe that is a hypocrite.

Jodi Lee,I have pointed out this fact and yet many prefer to hold on to what they learned in other ways. They attempt to seperate the body of Jesus from his essence. They thus can claim the body decended from Abraham and David while the essence of Jesus did not.
