Hi Ed,

Why should we take notice of what you see as implications?

Everyone has opinions about implications.

Truth is preferable.

Ps,

An ordinary man transformed by the anointing of God at the Jordan.

Hi,

And he grew up before Him like a tender shoot,

and like a root out of parched land;

He has no stately form or majesty

that we should look upon him

nor appearance that we should be attracted to him.

He was despised and forsaken of men,

a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;

and like one from whom men hide their face

he was…[Read more]

Hi,

Travelling above the small planet earth houses become as dots.

People become so tiny they cannot be seen.

Yet God knows them all.

Hi Princess,

Yes the biggest miracle is that

despite the variation in authors over time

despite the handling by foolish men

despite the translators flaws

the bible is the living truth and a trustworthy message from God to all generations.

A shining  light in an ever darkening world.

God proves Himself again.

The words of the Lord…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

Yes God has made everything available for those called to become His sons.

He is faithful and His promises are true.

Ask, Seek, Knock.

Hi Princess,

Yes it is an amazing journey  Beginning with deep anxiety and yet awareness of God. No bridge long enough.

Beguiled by false religion and self effort with it’s rituals and apparent divine satisfactions, but just emptiness.

Stunned by the Book of Acts.

Finding unexpected beauty and harmony in the bible.The reality of the Spir…[Read more]

Hi princess,

Yes there are other choices.

Witchery and it’s fascinations for example.

But the prize is worth it and the end of choice is nigh for many.

Gene,

Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;

seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness,

through the true knowledge of Him Who called us by His own knowledge and excellence.

For by these He has granted us His precious and magnificent promises

so that…[Read more]

Hi,

The real battleground is the mind.

Upbringing, culture, the influence of the world.

Education has already laid a foundation of our understanding.

As with Paul we have to regard all as rubbish for the sake of knowing the Spirit of Christ.

We must all be transformed by the renewal of our minds and that starts with submission to the teaching…[Read more]

Hi,

Elijah was a prophet

He spoke for God.

He healed the sick.

He did miracles.

He raised the dead.

But why did nobody say he must be God?

odd that

Hi Ed,

Not sure about you but I do not know everything.

Much to learn and still working away.

But I do know God is One.

The Spirit is One.

Hi Ed,

Do you accuse me of hypocrisy?

Accuse away.

Hi Gene,

For ground that drinks in the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is tilled, receives a blessing from God; but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless, and it ends up being burned.

heb 6.7

Hi Ed,

1 peter1..10

…the prophets…seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating..

This verse shows that the Spirit of Christ can be used as a term for the Holy Spirit..the Spirit of God and Christ.

Hi Gene,

No guarantee that those who are given the Spirit are saved.

The seed must take root and grow into a tree with useful fruit.

The building must survive the testing by fire.

Jn 1.12

But as many as received he gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in his name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of…[Read more]

Hi Ed,

Again.

Romans 8 speaks of the Spirit in many places and in many different ways.

Your dogma says that there are Two Spirits.

So please define which Spirit is being spoken of in each instance in Rom 8.

Which spirit is called the Holy Spirit?

Then there is 1 Cor 2 , 1 Cor 12, Eph 4 to sort through,  and a myriad other places in scripture.

Hi Ed,

Why are you confused?

For you does

”can present himself as”

really mean the same as

”is”

??

Hi,

1Cor 2.13

Has Christ been divided?

Paul was not crucified for you, was he?

Or were you baptised in the name of Paul?

Rom6.3

Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptised into Christ Jesus have been baptised into his death.

Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

Man is a vessel.

The Spirit knows what is inside a man.

The message was not only for the kingly vessel but the contents too.
