Nick,There are many churches listed in the Bible.See just a few:1 Thess 1:1Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.2 Cor 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all…[Read more]

Nick,”Few” if few were Mary and Elizabeth then we really don't need more than that but then there are the Magi and Herod and his scribes and Simeon the priest. They all knew that He would be born as the Messiah. The powers He expressed were to give evidence to His role as the Messiah that He was born as. Read Luke 1:41When Elizabeth heard Mary’s g…[Read more]

Georg,The scriptures are not false that you quoted, what I am suggesting is that your theory of spirit=mind is a wrong conclusion of those verses. Also, your comment about the 'heart' having nothing to do with 'it' shows that you do not seem to know that the heart which pumps the blood is not meant in the over 800 times in scripture where 'heart'…[Read more]

Nick,According to you Thomas called Jesus HIS Lord and HIS God because God dwelled in Him and Thomas just truly accepted it at that moment. Don't you also teach that the Father dwells within all true believers? If so, all believers would be Thomas' (and your) Lord and God. Do you call all believers your Lord and your God?

Nick,God is in all believers so according to you all believers are the Lord and the God of each other? Try again.

Ahhh Nick,He was annointed to be the Messiah before He even came in the flesh. Who did the angels say was born in the City of David?Luke 2:11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.There is no future tense in 'which IS Christ the Lord.'If we no longer speak of Jesus according to the flesh, how do we…[Read more]

Hi Georg,Give these two sites a look for more information on the inner man/ inner person.http://bibletruthsonline.com/training%20the%20inner%20man.htmhttp://www.biblestudymanuals.net/inner_man.htmKathi

Hi Marty,Thanks for your answer.If Jesus is just our Lord and not our God then why did Jesus not correct Thomas?Also please tell me who is the husband to the church.Thanks again,Kathi

Mike,There you go, adding words that are not there.

Nick,Do you have a particular passage spoken by Jesus that you can ask me about?Kathi

Georg,you said:Quote Yes, a dead body does look empty, empty of life, but he/she is not with the Lord; not consciously that is.I give you some scriptures you need to look at.Ps. 104:29 “Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled, thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.”Eccl. 3:19 “For that which befalleth the sons…[Read more]

Georg,you said:Quote The heart has nothing to do with anything, except to pump blood. It may pump faster at times when we are exited, and slower when we're scared; but our decisions are made with our mind/spirit depending what information is in our brain.Do a search on 'heart' and see that the word 'heart' does not usually mean the organ that…[Read more]

Hi Georg,Doesn't this verse discount your theory that mind = spirit?1 Cor 14:14For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. 15What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also.Kathi

Mike,I think that 'beginning' is a good choice as a translation since it is likely the choice elsewhere in Revelations. In Revelations Jesus is the 'Beginning and the End' and so I do think that what that means is related to Rev 3:14. That would rule out Jesus as a first 'created' creature but so does the rest of the Bible, imo. He would certainly…[Read more]

Nick,Back to the topic. We can discuss this elsewhere.
