Nick,

It does not change anything if you believe that when Paul wrote “your” he was told those that are now dust the the Spirit that will quicken their mortal bodies.

Nick,

The letter was wrote to those who are now dust.

Nick,

Scripture disagrees for it says “he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.”

David,

Do you consider suicide violence?

It is the tenth leading cause of death in the U.S. and that is mainly because its higher in Caucasians, who are the majority population.

Accidents are the fourth leading but I doubt you consider them violence.

Nick,

I do have difficulty communicating but a prime factor is that I think faster than I write and do not check to see that I wrote every word I had thought.

Otherwise I speak as a student and not a teacher.

t8,

I made an error by dropping a not. Philo did not teach the Logos was Christ. Sorry for the error.

T8,

No he actually existed in the form of God, emptied himself, and came in the flesh. I believe it as it is written.

I am not seeing where what you say is a literal interpretation unless you view “in” and meaning “into”.

If so then it does not go with emptying as take something out and then put something else into it.

Nick,

I have not argued that he had the Spirit. I do not know if he ever heard of Jesus Christ though he was about twenty years older than Jesus and lived several years again after Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross.

t8,

Philo is actually stating that it is qualitative. In short he claims the Logos has the qualities of God but is not God. Philo did teach the Logos was the Christ.

t8,

If you take to “came in the flesh” in its literal sense then it means “he came wearing flesh”; for example she came in the blue gown.

I suppose you are attempting to use it metaphorically.

T8,

Are you trying to use “came in the flesh” to mean “came into flesh”.

“in the flesh” means physically present or alternatively “alive”.

Those are English idioms and maybe even just American ones.

t8,

They were written to those were taught the truth and should be saved but there are few of those today. I doubt Comfort was taught the truth and so I do not see where he will be judged according to those that were taught the truth.

If it is in Scripture and he has rejected it he will be judged for rejecting it.

t8,

Many claim there are enough clues in Scripture to discern that mystery.

t8,

It is Jesus speaking as he is carried along by the Holy Spirit.

It is like speaking as one is being carried along by the spirit of charity.

Nick,

You run both hot and cold.

At times and places you attempt to understand Scripture but other times you do not.

Nick,

” Wisdom is justified of her children” does not relate to what you think.

It means the ways of God are proven by their fruitful outcomes.

Yes, and those that walk in the way of obey his word and so are the children of it.

Nick,

Hi KW,

Where does scripture say that Jesus is a child of the Word?

Jesus Christ is the word made flesh and a son of God.

Same difference!

Nick,

Should we believe your objections without Scriptural proofs?

Nick,

I get irritated with your unrepentant heart as you already know it is written.

I already quoted where Jesus acknowledges he is the child of the Wisdom of God.

Do you think God’s Word is alien to his Wisdom?

Here is another verse.

John 1:12Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

12 But as many as received him , to them gave he power to…

Nick,

You obvious do not believe it, so why would you believe it if were written?
