Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 19 2012,01:15)Hi LU, Indeed in the Spirit you can know the Father and the Son and commune with them.True Nick!

Marty,But it is Jesus' goodness/righteousness that saves us and that was what the young man was asking about…what can he do to obtain eternal life. Jesus tells him that there is one good and to follow him if he wishes to be complete. So, I think that the NASB translation seems to be more fitting to the situation. Jesus is good after all. Kathi

Quote (Marlin1 @ Feb. 19 2012,16:48)Quote Do you realize that many churches make up that one church that you speak of?kathi,I believe you have this slightly wrong.  The one true church is not made up of CHURCHES,  it is made up of true believers out of many churches.  Not all members of a certain church are His.  For many church members will com…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Feb. 16 2012,00:03)Christians are also to keep the Sabbath but it is no longer a seventh day but it is the day when believers make Jesus the Lord of their life and this day doesn't end so it is not celebrated over and over every seven days. The new creation that believer's become is no longer the old creation where the seventh…[Read more]

Nick,Do you see that many churches make up the one body of Christ? Do you also see that the 'one body' is one church at large?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 19 2012,00:24)Hi LU, So you say. You should listen with Thomas in Jn14Nick,John 14 is full of claims that are God sized that Jesus makes of Himself and demonstrates that He is to be believed in with the Father. Here are just a few:John 14:1″Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.“I am the w…[Read more]

Marty,Read how differently an older Greek manuscript is translated in Mat 19:16And someone came to Him and said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?” 17And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” 18Then…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 18 2012,17:31)Hi LU, Not at all , “My lord AND my GOd”TwoNick,There are two names for one person. Thomas was only talking to one person. He called Jesus 'his Lord and his God.'Why do you think that is was all right for Thomas to call Jesus his Lord and his God when, as you say, he finally believed that God was in Him? You…[Read more]

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
