Hi all,There is one true always existing God (the Father) and one true begotten God (the Son). The begotten God says that He has a God more than once and even after His exaltation.Here it is before His exaltation:Joh 20:17 Jesus said to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, `I…[Read more]

Hi Irene,I do not have any experience with feeling spirits in regards to a person's death. I have not lost someone really close to me yet though. I am not surprised by your experiences. I do feel a lot of love from God when I am in close fellowship with Him. I think that we will be so amazed at how much more we will feel when we are actually…[Read more]

Hi Bo,God required the blood sacrifice of a worthy flesh and blood being. The body that would satisfy once for all would be a body with the will of someone who was willingly participating in the sacrifice out of compassion and not compulsion also a body without blemish (sin). God, before there was even sin, prepared the one, His most precious…[Read more]

Hi guys and gals,If you think that video was interesting listen to these interviews of Richard Sigmund who went on a tour of heaven while he was dead for 8 hours.

Keith,Quote The very fact that Jesus will at the end be subject to the Father, itself implies that he is not subject to the Father now!That is interesting. Think about the Son's role now…He is acting as a mediator between us and the Father. The Father is not telling Him how to mediate therefore the Son is not subject to Him in that role. It…[Read more]

Hi theodorej,You ask a good question. I know that God can give us a wise and discerning heart. We are to test the spirits to see if they are from God, also look for the fruit from the person, take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.I don't recall anything that is in conflict with scripture in his story but maybe I missed something.…[Read more]

Keith,Do you serve your wife? Your congregation? If yes, then are you violating those commandments? Do you see that we can serve others but the reason we serve others is the key. If we serve others because of the Most High God then we are glorifying Him. If we serve others instead of the Most High God then we break the commandment. Don't you…[Read more]

Hi Keith,Jesus never goes against His Father's will and therefore if we obey all that Jesus tells us we also line up with His Father's will perfectly. Jesus never goes against His Father's will. Therefore, we have no problem getting our direction from Jesus or His Father, either way it will be the same direction. IMOBlessings,Kathi
