Hi Nick,Good verses and topic.Is it saying that we are not necessarily to teach the lost but rather preach the kingdom of God to the lost. We are to teach the saved. Would teaching the lost not sink in because they need the first step of accepting the preaching of the kingdom of God?LU

God is good, we have a knee surgeon friend that fit them in as quick as could be.…[Read more]

In response to WJ,I believe that the Son of God's nature was 100% of begotten God and could never have been the nature of 100% always existant God. An always existant God could not beget another 100% always existent God.I believe that the Son was born as the begotten God and His function was the light of life.I do not believe that He was born…[Read more]

Hi again DK,I did not mean asexual referring to His earthly birth. I think that His earthly birth began by the Holy Spirit implanting a holy seed (sperm) within Mary's egg which developed into a man's body prepared to have the pre-existing Spirit of the Son to dwell within.I meant that the Son of God came from being asexually reproduced within…[Read more]

Hi DK,Thanks for your answer. Do you think that it is possible that God could reproduce in an asexual way and thus actually have a born son, not made with hands?LU

Dear Irene,Hang in there. People get different measures of the Spirit of the Father. You are ahead of others, that's all. They will catch up eventually. I am sure that you are getting frustrated with all the walls your teaching is bouncing off of. Someday, somebody will be challenged enough to question themselves in a very surrendering way…[Read more]
