So they your answer to my question (which was to David, btw), is “YES”?So the one who came to prepare the way for the Lord was filled with Holy Spirit from the womb, but not the Lord he came to pave the way for?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 13 2012,19:05)hi MB,So why do you keep saying it is Jesus instead of Jesus Christ? Scripture commands accuracy in handling what is sacred.Ha ha!  Wasn't it YOU who said that many times in scripture where it just says “Jesus”, it is implied that it means “Jesus Christ”?  But now you say I can't do the same thing?   Ni…[Read more]

Yes Nick,It is about Jesus Christ existing in the form of God before he emptied himself and was made into a human being.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 13 2012,18:33)Hi MB, Can you show what you assert from scripture?Does God dwell in carnal men?You must be born again.To which post of mine do you refer?

No, I never said he was raised in a “NEW” spiritual body.  I said that the earthly body in which he was raised from the dead was TRANSFORMED into the new, glorious, spiritual body he has now at the right hand of God.  Remember?  I said it was TRANSFORMED upon his ascension to heaven.So Toby, what happened to his body of flesh when Jesus went to he…[Read more]

Phil 2, Kerwin. It is written as plain as day.

Quote (toby @ Mar. 13 2012,17:29)What “Change” did Jesus the “Spiritual Body” of Jesus undergo?Toby,First, you are wrong about spirit being the soul.  There is a thread on this so you can learn about it.  But body, spirit, and soul are three different things, as attested to by scriptures.Secondly, I don't know how many ways I can say it.  …[Read more]

I don't apply those words to a “flesh man”, Nick. Haven't you read that Jesus was existing in the form of God before he was MADE INTO a “flesh man”?

Ah, that is a little better wording, Nick.Are you saying that we worship the God OF Jesus – the same God that Jesus himself also worships?

David,Do you suppose Jesus was totally without Holy Spirit for the first 30 years of his life?

God spoke through all of His prophets. Why would I not believe He also spoke through the most recent one? Or rather, why would you imply I don't believe He did?

YOU might worship the Son along with his and our God, Nick.  I, instead, follow the command of the Son, who told us to worship Jehovah our God, and serve HIM only.

All of God's prophets spoke the words of God, Nick. How many of them were “the Word made flesh”?

Kerwin,I think many might mistake “invisible to human eyes” with “immaterial”.Atoms are invisible to human eyes, but that is not to say they are immaterial.

Nick,Why would you claim this stuff?    Scripture clearly says that JESUS said he was before Abraham.  John the Baptist clearly said that JESUS was before him.Yet, for your own PERSONAL reasons, you've decided to believe that these scriptures spoke of the “spirit of Christ” instead of Jesus.  Why? None of them SAY it was “the spirit of Chr…[Read more]
