Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 28 2014,19:49)Hi MB, I cannot find SENTIENT BEING in scripture Perhaps I should try your theology books?It was your phrase, Nick.  You are the one who brought it into the discussion when I said John 1:1 is correctly translated as “a god”.  But we don't NEED to use that phrase for me to make my point.My point is that w…[Read more]

Yes Nick,But does that verse actually say Jesus WENT to “hell” at all?Acts 2:27 NIV © because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay. MSG © I know you'll never dump me in Hades; I'll never even smell the stench of death. BBE © For you will not let my soul be in hell and you will not give up your Holy One to…[Read more]

You are correct, Wakeup……….Job was a “father” to the poor in the sense that he cared for and looked after the poor.And one who cares for and looks after someone is called their “benefactor”, or “protector”.So I only have two simple questions:  1.  Is Jesus someone who cares for and looks after us?  YES or NO?2.  Will Jesus be doing that for…[Read more]

Nick, Can this “spirit” you talk about be SEEN by human eyes?4. Nick, is this “spirit” you talk about called “the Son of Man”?Hi MB,3. No the Spirit is invisible so as with the unclean spirits the vessel does…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 28 2014,19:02)2. No the Spirit inhabits flesh.I believe the words were “MY flesh”….. not “the flesh I INHABIT RIGHT NOW”.So, does your “Spirit” actually have HIS OWN flesh, Nick?

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ May 28 2014,16:54)Jesus was referencing that the Kingdom of God comes to be in a person , it has to do with to effectual working of the Spirit of GOD, being “IN” a person, in their heart and mind, it is SPIRITUAL implanted into a person by GOD. God rules from within, our minds and hearts.And if what you say is true, then…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ May 28 2014,16:59)Terricca………The one who lacks understanding here is you, not NICK, that is obvious to all here. IMOIt's not obvious to me, Gene.

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ May 28 2014,16:54)THE KINGDOM OF GOD COMES” WITHOUT .”OBERSAVATION” it is “WITHIN you” , and he wasn't talking about the PhariseesGene, Jesus said those words TO the Pharisees. If it means what YOU think, then he was telling the Pharisees that the kingdom of God was inside of them.

Okay Wakeup,I'm not going to argue with you about “Eliakim” being “Jesus”, or whatever.Let's try this one:Job 29:16 KJVI was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.What does it mean that Job was “a father” to the poor, Wakeup?What does the word “father” mean in that verse?

Of course the Holy Spirit was IN Jesus, Nick. It was in him from the day he was born of Mary. It came upon him IN FULL the day he was baptized.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 28 2014,18:06)And after being made flesh in Christ Jesus the Spirit ascended to God again“Made flesh IN Christ Jesus”?  Where did you get that teaching?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 27 2014,22:56)Hi MB, You say”And only “sentient beings” have their own will, Nick” Is this in your bible or your theology books?Why?  Do YOU think that non-sentient things (“non-conscious things”) can have their own wills?Please explain…….

Funny……… you seem to have time to post miles of words on things I don't care about! (Just messin' with ya!)
