Nick Hassan:Quote I am going to point out the definitions of some words.By old I mean:Quote b. Belonging to or being of an earlier time:As in the time earlier than when the individual received the new spirit.Do you believe that a human being is without a spirit prior to receiving a “new” one?  If not then they obviously have an old spirit.By holy…[Read more]

To all,God chose to revael to me that in Paul's letter to Titus he wrote something that seems relevant to this thread so I am sharing it.Titus 2:1(NIV) reads:Quote You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine

Mikeangel,Please do not misunderstand what I have written since all I am saying is that I have not found the true church as of yet.  I believe it is out there somewhere.  In Revelation 12 we are told that “the woman was given two wings like and eagle where she might fly to the place prepared for her in the desert.”   At the right time she will co…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 16 2010,01:39)Hi KW, We are cleansed inwardly and forgiven by God in response to our repentant plea of water baptism. Those who have washed from thence only have to wash their feet.Washed as white as snow but walking in a dirty world.God's creation of man was very good.No corrupted spirits.I am not sure you properly…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 16 2010,01:29)Hi KW,You continue to rebuke from a weak foundation. So where does scripture say we have to be reborn IN SPIRIT?I am assuming you are not confused by my use of a word that means “born again” instead of just saying “born again”.John 3:3-7(ASV) reads:Quote Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I…[Read more]

Quote (Elizabeth @ Mar. 15 2010,19:10)Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 15 2010,11:43)GB, Flesh plus spirit=soul?We are body soul and spirit so it seems you are muddled again.NickYou body IS your soul, your spirit has to develop as your brain grows.GeorgPsalms 31:9 and Psalms 63:1 are two scriptures that treats them as separate elements of a human being.

Nick Hassan wrote on February 29, 2009:Quote The OLD MAN is the BODY OF SIN.That is a rather vague statement with at least two possible meanings.       1) You speak of the sins committed, I.e. the guilt of those sins.   2)  You speak of the sinful nature.If you know God then you would know that he forgets the sins of those who change their ways…[Read more]

Mikeangel,I am willing to accept as the church of Jesus the Anointed the assembly that preaches the true teachings of  Jesus who is the head of the gathering of those whom believe.  Until God either leads me to such a church or lead that church to me then I will do as I believe is best hoping that God is leading me.   Ideally, I would I prefer a…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 15 2010,16:20)Hi KW, The OLD MAN is not the human spirit.Neither is any human spirit said to be corrupt in scripture. What is the basis of your assertions if not scripture?The gospel of Jesus the Anointed One which you deny as you deny the need to be reborn in spirit.Can you explain why you chose to deny the teaching of…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 15 2010,06:47)Hi KW, Are you offering Jewish mysticism as some sort of alternative foundation?We seek to be raised clothed in Christ and not naked.Ps 49 2cor5.3Christianity is a mystic Jewish tradition which is rather obvious from reading scripture. The Jews at one time may have been more fond of mysticism than they…[Read more]

Irene,You post sounded well reasoned to me. I agree.

Mikeangel,You are assuming that “church” means and organized religion which is not the case.  Church is the assembly of the faithful which is to say those that watch their doctrine and life as Paul instructed Timothy. 1 Timothy 4:16.   An assembly of those who follow a false doctrine would not qualify as Jesus’ church.
