Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 06 2014,19:30)Hi MB, Did you really think the Spirit could not be on earth as well as in heaven??I believe the Spirit could ONLY be on earth AND in heaven. The Spirit doesn't ever separate from God.So my point is that “The Spirit” would NEVER say it would soon ascend to where it was before – because it would have forever…[Read more]

Btw, you didn't address the point, Nick. Do you consider taking in knowledge of God, Jesus, and the rest of the teachings in the Bible to be equivalent to “God making fools of us”?

Strong's Concordance: ginóskóDefinition: I am taking in knowledge, come to know, learn; aor: I ascertained, realized.Like in this verse:Matthew 6:3 But when you do your giving, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing…….Ie:  Don't let your left hand “have knowledge” of what your right hand is doing.Or this one:“Do not be a…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 06 2014,18:50)Hi MB, Heb 1.2 “in these last days God has spoken to us in His Son..”Post the rest of the verse.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 06 2014,17:46)Hi MB, Quite so.The Spirit spoke through the anointed Jesus.So then it was “The Spirit” who was stranded on earth, and no longer actually in heaven?It was “The Spirit” who was sent from heaven, and hoped to soon go back to where he was before?Is that it, Nick?

So then in your opinion, God did indeed cause those Israelites to rebel against Him – just so He could then bring them back to Him? I disagree.And it doesn't matter if the example includes one person, or 2 billion people. I showed you the scripture that has what you asked for in it. God foresaw COMMON PEOPLE going against Him in the…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 06 2014,17:50)Hi MB, God's power shows up best in weak people.Where are the wise men? Where are the scholars?God makes them foolsJohn 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.You equate this taking in of knowledge with “being…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 06 2014,17:48)Hi MB, We must be transformed by renewal of our mindsIt happened for those ignorant fishermen showing the power of God's SpiritIt also has happened to me, Nick. That is why I'm able to help you out with understanding these scriptural teachings.

Amen, Wakeup.

Btw Pierre,You posting a bunch of verses, and then asking me a question did NOT address the conversation we were in the middle of. Let me show you how you've been “diverting” the discussion:1. First, I asked about t8's kids. I asked if God had told us that t8's kids would soon abandon the good path, would it be because God could foresee this…[Read more]

Was God wrong about what? I don't see a connection between the verses you posted, and the question you asked.But I should ask you the same question concerning the passage I quoted. Was God wrong about the Israelites doing the exact things He said they would soon do?Of course we both know God wasn't wrong, for they did indeed do everything God…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 05 2014,20:55)Do you believe there is a body consisting of soul material?No I don't, Kerwin.  That very thought is illogical, since the soul is something OTHER THAN the body.  Likewise, the spirit is also something OTHER THAN the body.That's likely why virtually all English Bibles translate that Greek word as “natural”.A b…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ Mar. 05 2014,21:20)Hi T8,Your information is all garbled.It seems clear and straightforward to me, Ed.1. DO you believe the KJV is “perfect”, or “inspired by God to be THE English translation” or whatever?2. DO you believe that Jesus called Judas “a devil”?If the answer to #1 is “YES”, then the answer to #2 can't possibly be “NO” -…[Read more]

One God, but THREE living, thinking entities – each with their own will?

Quote (Ed J @ Mar. 06 2014,03:06)And there is a reason GOD's Name was written exactly FIVE times in singular form and exactly THREE times in phrases in the “AKJV Bible”.The reason is that the KJV producers dropped the ball, and didn't translate the Hebrew text as it was written.  (There is probably also a couple of underlying reasons as well.…[Read more]

So did the Holy Spirit end up showing the apostles illogical things that their brains couldn't even comprehend?  Or did the Holy Spirit make things EASIER and MORE LOGICAL to their human brains? Did it give them “understanding”? Or did it give them “confusing statements about how it doesn't have to make sense to us”?IMO, it is, has been, and…[Read more]
