Nick,

In regards to his humanity God made Jesus in Mary’ inward parts.

God fathered Jesus human spirit through his Spirit.

You know that spirit is conceived of Spirit and flesh is conceived of Flesh.

Nick,

Scripture does not call it adoption.

Nick,

Yes, and made from the seed of David according to the flesh is speaking of his human decent and not just his body.

Gene,

Male is not needed when reproduction is accomplished by division and not by fusion. For example Eve did not have her mother’s DNA and Adam could be considered both the father and mother of her flesh and bone.

Scripture does not teach us the God was the father of Jesus’ body but instead teaches us King David is. Mary was conceived of the…[Read more]

Nick,

Jesus was made under the Law.

I meant to say “and yet John was not invited to enter the kingdom of heaven”

The point being why wasn’t he?

Nick,

Are you claiming John the Baptist will not be saved?

Nick,

The way to enter the kingdom of heaven was not preached until after John’s preaching. John preached that the Christ was coming just as foretold to both Abraham and Adam before him. Those two believe the words of the Spirit of Christ but they looked forward to his coming. John did not need to look forward as the Christ came before he died…[Read more]

Marty,

Abraham believed the words of the Spirit of Christ just as the disciples believed the words of the Spirit as Jesus spoke as he was carried along by it. The Spirit taught different things to Abraham than it did to the literal disciples of Jesus Christ but it is the same teacher.

Nick,

God is not the father of Jesus’ body. Scripture teaches us that according to the flesh he is Mary’s child and through her the descendant of David. His genealogy is recorded and it is stated that is through Adam that he is the Son of Man.

God is the father of Jesus’ Spirit.

The Spirit hovered over Mary in the likeness of it hovering…[Read more]

Nick,

I seek to understand what is written because God warns us away from willful lack of knowledge.

Philo voiced the his version of the ideas of the true religion. Out of his mouth come sweet water and foul water as is common with humanity (James 3:10) Those that listen to the Spirit can tell the sweet from the foul and neither keep them both…[Read more]

Nick,

Christian is a label placed on the early student-adherents of Christ.

It is now considered a religion. As religion is an English word that in this case means “an organized system of beliefs, ceremonies, and rules used to worship a god or a group of gods” (Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, accessed 21 Nov. 2015)

94277,

I am not using Christian to mean a literal student-adherent of Christ though since Abraham was a student-adherent of the words spoken by the Spirit of Christ he may also be considered a student-adherent of Christ.

I was using it in the since of claiming Abraham has the same religion as the disciples of Christ since he worships the same…[Read more]

Nick,

What do you believe a Christian is and why do you believe Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob do not apply.

Nick,

Who else do you believe Jesus was made of?

Nick,

You are correct that God’s ways are not the ways of those that walk according to the flesh nor are his thoughts the thoughts of those that walk according to the flesh for he walks according the Spirit.

942767,

Every human being is made by the power of God but Jesus’ conception is miraculous and not the conception that results when a male gamete and a female merge to form a new human being. Instead God took a part of Mary and made Jesus much as he earlier took a part of Adam and made Eve. Of the two Eve probably required the most extensive…[Read more]

Nick,

Hi 94,

Does it satisfy the logic demands of human wisdom ? no

It is designed to trip the unwary.

Your definition of human wisdom and that of Scripture are at odds. Throw away those things are at odds with the truth. Human wisdom is wisdom based on the desires of the flesh and godly wisdom is wisdom based on the desires of the…[Read more]

Nick,

It is obvious that Abraham is a Christian because according to Scripture he believed in Christ. It is so obvious that I question even discussing it since you claim to be blind. God has not given me the power to heal blindness not even to teach as I am still a student myself.

Nick,

Abraham is a Christian as is show by Jesus’ words ” Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.”

Bodhitharta,

Jumping around can either obtain the correct context or be misused. The guidance of the Spirit is necessary to understand the truth.
