Quote (gollamudi @ June 16 2008,10:30)Hi Kathi,Thank you very much for your patience in replying my queries. I do have some leniancy towards your view believing that the One Spirit is God's Spirit which was also in His son jesus and is also called as Spirit of Christ or anointing. You see the verse Jn 4:1313 “This is how we know that we remain in…[Read more]

Quote (gollamudi @ June 16 2008,06:26)Quote (Lightenup @ June 16 2008,16:47)Which verb/verbs in the above would you like to know that about? Can you narrow it down for me? From a quick look, there is a combination of active verbs and some middle voice verbs.  I am not sure about passive verbs because I looked at just some of the verses.  Maybe a…[Read more]

WJ,Your posts are typically so long and I would like to spend all that time that I need to respond to you. I just don't usually have so much time to study. I thought that I gave you a great scripture that God has form. Moses just saw His form, maybe that was regarding His backside when He was on the mountain receiving the ten commandments. Or…[Read more]

Hi WJ,I'm glad to hear that your day went well. My five kids and I took my hubbie out to TGI Fridays. It cost me over $100 for lunch…WOW! My husband was happy that he didn't have to pay for his own Father's Day lunch:D God bless,LU

Quote (gollamudi @ June 15 2008,13:44)Hi LU,I am curious to ask you what your Greek says in Jn14:16-18:16 “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate 8 to be with you always, 17 the Spirit of truth, 9 which the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows it. But you know it, because it remains with you, and will be…[Read more]

Irene,I'm so sorry that you have to endure so much in the way of health. Thankfully, you are strong in spirit. I know that every post that you make is difficult with the arthritis in your fingers. I appreciate all your efforts. May God give you strength to get through all your weak moments.Praying for you,Love,Kathi

Wow Mandy,I just read about your husband's struggle. I will join you and others in prayer for this. That is great that he has taken the first step in seeking help. http://www.settingcaptivesfree.com/home/ This is a great ministry for all kinds of addictions both for those who have the addictions and for those that are affected by those…[Read more]

Welcome JPR,I too am a trinitarian outcast and feel the seperation. I continue to go to a Baptist church because my husband is a trinitarian and I agree with a lot of the ideas.  I personally believe that if a church agrees that the original scriptures of the Bible are infalliable and they recognize the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit as our…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ June 13 2008,01:44)WJHi WJ,By reading your response, I must not have made myself clear.  You have made some inferences that I did not intend.  I may hash it out with you later but now, I want to write about “God is Spirit”.  I believe that this refers to having a spirit type of body as opposed to a flesh and blood type of bo…[Read more]

Thanks Nick,Have a great day!LU

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ June 12 2008,17:34)Hi LUQuote (Lightenup @ June 13 2008,06:31)Hi WJ,So, can a woman be a comforter or not?  Can a woman be a helper or not?  Both comforter and helper are masculine nouns but I do believe that a woman can be both of these things and would not be referred to as “he”.Nice spin. Yeshua says the “…[Read more]

Hi Nick,Yes, I believe that the Father is in heaven also. I believe that His Spirit is always with Him and never seperate from Him but that it also flows from Him to us on earth through His Son.LU

Hope Nate has fun tonight! Go Nate! There are alot of lessons to learn when developing good sportsmanship. Sports can be great.Kathi

Hi WJ,So, can a woman be a comforter or not? Can a woman be a helper or not? Both comforter and helper are masculine nouns but I do believe that a woman can be both of these things and would not be referred to as “he”.Eph 1:17that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the…[Read more]

Mandy,Yes there are absolutes in the original languages and yes there is some wiggle room and no I am not a scholar. I realize that there is great value in the original text and how it was written. I believe that if a word is written in the past tense, we do not have the freedom to change that to future tense. If a word is written as an…[Read more]

Hey Mandy and Adam,I know that you are trying to encourage me to see how others do not agree with me but if that is your “test” on whether something is true or false, well that is subjective and not unbiased and objective. If you want to show me some real evidence, in other words, show me how you have tested my theories objectively in light of…[Read more]

Hi Adam,That's ok if you don't accept that the light is the son of God. I'm not sure that I would either if just another person sincerely thought so and can show several verses that could allude to it being so. I would probably think that it may be possible though and test it or at least tuck it away in my mind and not disregard it altogether…[Read more]

Golla,Unfortunately, we are at an impass. Yes I also believe that some references are referring to a figurative light but I do think that there is more to His light than just figurative. He is going to be our “lamp” in New Jerusalem and so we will not need the sun. I do not feel that you are able to be reasoned with, IMO. You have no need for…[Read more]
