Nick,I have given my questions/suggestions/thoughts and scriptures relating to the conception of Jesus, not sure what more I can give you.

Jesus was a carnal man in the flesh before he died – he was raised by the Holy Spirit after death.

Nick ,Sorry for the sarcasm b4 – but really why is man not meant to be used in Jesus conception if he was a natural fleshly man?? And Jesus was also a natural man in the flesh – he was raised by the Spirit of God.1 John 4:2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;flesh…[Read more]

Nasty, corrupt men …… God can't use any of those, can he? – However, I thought he inspired this to be written first natural ………. then spiritual ……..

It would make Jesus some random, human son. Man…[Read more]

We are told in one part of the bible (OT) Jewish scriptures that God desires sacrifices and burnt offerings, and in another part of the scriptures that God did not command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices – Did God change or did the Jews do something that the heathens were doing saying “God said, Moses said” when God did not say ………

Sorry Nick Ask them what?

But the apostate Jews perception of him could very easily change and the scribes and prophets could very easily be writing things in Gods name that he did not say Which may be why we are toldJer 7:20Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees…[Read more]

Quote (Not3in1 @ Dec. 16 2008,04:26)Sorry, Meerkat, I was under the impression that you were already a churchgoer!Speaking from experience, you will never find a body of believers who believe just as you do (you can't even find that here). Every church will have it's rules and regs to follow (obey). But you can choose which bits are for you, and…[Read more]

Reverence of God – having faith in his faithfulness is what encourages and motivates me to seek.

Nick From what I can see even though you think you are saying something different to Gene – the meaning is the same – our actions are produced by our thoughts – It would be the same as God – Gods Spirit is not separate from him, it is how he created, influences and acts upon his creation.

Gene/Mandy,Yes, that is how I see it too and supported by scriptures too,we are to move on from fear and to overcome. It also says that the fearful have their part in the lake of fire Rev 21:8

Thank you Mandy,I didn't start seeking while in a church …… I was drawn by God to search and seek the scriptures prior to thinking I “should attend church” I guess I need to think a bit more ……. I am caught between being a bit turned off by the sunday church services being very ritualised, and knowing that others do not want to hear…[Read more]
