Hi Wakeup,
I appreciate your response. I do not agree that a man’s spirit=his desires. I would say that a man’s spirit has desires. I also disagree that man’s soul=his works.Lightenup changed their profile picture 11 years, 10 months ago

Hi Terricca,
You asked:how could something that is “OF GOD ” be the God of which he is of ?
can now God almighty be shared ?
Maybe this illustration can help:
Isn’t the spirit of the person actually the person? Think about it…when a person dies, his spirit leaves his body. People say at the side of the open casket that that per…[Read more]Lightenup replied to the topic in the forum The Trinity Doctrine 11 years, 10 months ago
Those who believe what Peter said when he identifies Jesus as the Son of God don’t always believe what Peter said when he identified Jesus as the ‘Jehovah of hosts’ from Isaiah 8:13 in 1 Peter 2.
Shouldn’t we believe both ways that Peter identifies the Son and not just one way Peter has identified the Son???

@t8,
Actually you have written the verse correctly in your last response but incorrectly as you have it in the message you wrote to Wakeup and as you have it in your signature.

Yes Wakeup. Jesus words are life. Jesus even went as far as saying:

Hi 2besee and all,Glad you realized that you needed to cut back/quit your coffee consumption. Water is so much better for you! Coffee does have some health benefits though and is also a stimulant so should not be over indulged or you will be over stimulated. A healthy way to sweeten and cream your coffee is with stevia or local honey and heavy…[Read more]

@t8,

Point taken. Jesus said, “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent”.
So for me to respond to that correctly, I then believe that eternal life is to know the ONLY true God AND Jesus Christ whom HE has sent”.

@t8,
The BB codes are hit and miss. 🙂 I did them all right in that last post, and sometimes they work, other times they don’t. The first time I tried them, they worked until the end of the post too. Maybe there is a limit to how many you can use in one post? 🙂
