Chooseone,I believe you should read that passage again because Jesus teaches about grace, works, and faith in that passage.  It may confuse you that he expect the certain ruler to know about both faith and grace and so only mentions them to his other students at the end of the passage and then not directly.   That is a fairly common practice of J…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Dec. 30 2009,12:03)To all,The letter to the Hebrews instructs us that Jesus was not shaped like the angels but was instead shaped like a human being.  On the other hand other scriptures tell us that some angels appear to be human beings.   How can that be possible as Jesus was either shaped like a human being and thus like at l…[Read more]

Does anyone know the answer to my question?

Quote (terraricca @ Dec. 31 2009,09:58)hi kerwinyes all three,but works is from the living faith not to observe the faith but by practice it and it is by grace because we do not deserve it.because of our sins,but if we stop sinnig and walk in the faith by producing the fruits of it ,grace is obtain as a gift for our faith.and the reply “what is…[Read more]

Luke 18:18-27(NIV) reads:Quote A certain ruler asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?””Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 20You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.'””All these I h…[Read more]

To all,The letter to the Hebrews instructs us that Jesus was not shaped like the angels but was instead shaped like a human being.  On the other hand other scriptures tell us that some angels appear to be human beings.   How can that be possible as Jesus was either shaped like a human being and thus like at least some angels or he was not?

Marty, RokkaMan,Thank you.  I did misunderstand as I was able to test my conclusions and found them wanting.  The correct word is “homoioō” though “ginomai” is also in that sentence.homoioō

Quote (RokkaMan @ Dec. 29 2009,22:25)That verse explains that he was MADE like his brothers (Human)…The word became flesh.So Jesus originated as The Word…and was Made flesh like his bretheren (mankind)The word translated “made” among other things means “created”. Be careful not to cherry pick the definition that supports your traditions.I…[Read more]

Nick Hassan,Here is a passage to consider.Psalms 107:10-16(KJV) reads:Quote Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to…[Read more]

Quote (Newbie @ Dec. 29 2009,14:38)Oh yeah, me and the people I quoted from inferred nothing.  We were interpreting the text.  I could say the same thing to you.  Making “inferences” that Christ, is the Son of God, but not equal to God.  Again, Jesus is neither God the Father nor God the Holy Spirit, but he is co-equal and eternal with the…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 29 2009,02:43)Hi KW, Where does scripture say demons are fallen angels? The only ones fallen from grace now are in Tartarus while Rev describes a time when one third of the heavenly angels are thrown to earth. Demons were present on earth at the time of Jesus so this is not them.Satan is a fallen angel and he behaves like a demon.

terraricca,Heaven is God's throne and Earth is his footstool.  Does that mean he has feet?  If so they are some mighty big feet and we are the critters who occupy his footstool smelling his feet while the angels  get to smell other parts of his anatomy.   Mind you he has some mighty sweet feet.   I am not sure what kind of spirit God is as ther…[Read more]

Thank you! I have heard the claim but could not find any scripture to back it up. Now I can see what those passages state.

Gene,You appear too focused on the intellectual when the emotional is just as important.  I assure you men  can act emotionally as well as intellectually and probably often both.  In some case neither are a factor.  You seem to wish to discus the nature of the spirit which is fine.   I have heard what you stated and examined it.
