Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 24 2014,11:43)There is a quote that goes something like “you can control my body but not my mind”.  The slave masters control their slaves bodies but not their spirits.  Jesus is Lord of the spirits of his people.  Ephesians 6:5Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you wo…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 24 2014,11:33)1) I have not settled on a stance though fighting temptation is at least part of the battle.2) I actually made an error as I went by only what I remembered and when I actually read it, its speaks of spiritual wickedness in heavenly places. The words “heavenly places” are used only in Ephesians and I am not sure…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 24 2014,11:20)So according to you humans cannot inherit the kingdom of God.Correct, Kerwin. Flesh and blood human beings cannot inherit the HEAVENLY kingdom of God – the kingdom Paul was talking about when he said those words.

Quote (journey42 @ Mar. 24 2014,07:47)Quote (mikeboll64 @ Mar. 24 2014,04:15)I don't understand.  Jesus died and was raised from the dead.  He conquered death.  THAT is the big story – not any blood he may have left behind on earth.That proof there is for the Jews, to stir them up.  Make them think.We do not need proof, because we have faith.  [Read more]

Jesus taught and lived a faith based gospel 3 years before the cross but People who get their religion about Jesus through the Roman way of thinking apparently have never been taught that. So they actually…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ Mar. 24 2014,13:08)Quote (mikeboll64 @ Mar. 23 2014,04:34)Now, here is what I'm trying to get to the bottom of:You say the Word was God, but then God brought this Word out as a different living, breathing being.(1) At the moment God brought this Word out, did the Word become a DIFFERENT being than God?  Or (2) is God and His Word…[Read more]

Quote (Wakeup @ Mar. 24 2014,12:11)For he believes in his mind that Jesus is A GOD.And what do you and Nick believe Jesus is right now?The only flesh and blood human being in the spiritual realm of heaven?  That thought is not only unscriptural, but also absurd.So what's left then?  A spirit being who IS the Most High God Himself?  That one is al…[Read more]

John 17:3 This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.The right knowledge can mean everlasting life, Nick.

Pierre,It seems to me that the scripture Kerwin gave you supported the claim Kerwin made.You should tell him, “Thank you”, IMO.He made a claim, and then, when asked for scriptural support for that claim, readily gave said support.That is exactly how these scriptural discussions should be done, right?

Quote (Kangaroo Jack @ Mar. 26 2014,19:25)Quote (mikeboll64 @ Mar. 22 2014,09:10)My point was that John said no man had ever seen God…….. yet MANY men saw Jesus.  Ergo, Jesus is NOT God.The word “see” has to do with the eyes of the understanding. No man has comprehended God; the only God who is at the Father's side has EXPLAINED Him.Were the…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 26 2014,12:33)Mike,Quote Could “glory as of the only begotten from the Father” mean, “a glory such as one might expect to see on the only begotten from the Father”?I am not sure as that possibility had not come into my mind though Jesus was made in the likeness of a man does mean he was made a man so it may be an allowable usage.

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 26 2014,12:26)Mike,Quote (mikeboll @ 64)“Lot's wife became a pillar of salt.”I must have stung you with that red herring comment but yes, sometimes became is speaking of a more major change in qualities.  You applied the term “red herring” to a unrelated and unnecessary point that YOU brought up, right?  So that term didn't s…[Read more]

Eddy,You've already come close to saying what you need to say.  You told us that the KJV scholars SHOULD HAVE italicized the “a” when they wrote “one of you is a devil”.Well, if they SHOULD HAVE done that, but didn't, doesn't that display a FLAW in the KJV?And if the KJV has even ONE flaw, then it is not “perfect”, right?And all t8 wants is to…[Read more]

Quote (journey42 @ Mar. 26 2014,21:50)Quote WHY DIDN'T HE CAME DIRECTLY FROM HEAVEN LIKE A METEORITE?If that was the case, then Jesus would not be born flesh, and the whole plan would not be carried out the way God designed it.Good answer, journey.
