Hi,
Another problem is the limitations of the English language.
In Greek there are three main words translated as LIFE in English.
Only one is used when eternal life is meant- ZOE 2222 as in Jn 1.4 for example.
and in rom 8.11 there is another word Zoopoeia 2227.

Hi KW,
So just another speculative theologian.
They muse about God because they cannot know Him.

Hi ED,
There are many ideas of men that the scriptures do not specifically deny.

Hi Miia,
Those who put their trust in human leaders and their arms and powers are foolish.
Their people are being impoverished by their futile efforts.
Prophecy will be fulfilled despite man.

Hi Miia,
Even those who are reborn from above but who do not add to the investment God has made in them can be cast into the outer darkness.
God made the rules and told us to take care in our walk.

Hi Miia,
The family of God does not include all men.
Only those who obey and are reborn from above.
And those to whom He decides to show His mercy to.
The offer of God through Jesus Christ must be taken seriously.

Hi KW,
Philo called Jesus the ELDEST OF THE ANGELS, the ARCHANGEL OF MANY NAMES.
Show us where this resonates with the written words of the eyewitnesses and the author of Hebrews.
if it does not then perhaps you should show your loyalty to the Master and admit Philo taught falsehoods?
NickHassan replied to the topic in the forum Preexistence 10 years, 6 months ago
Hi KW,
How are you able to judge the words of Philo?
You say his writing style is similar to that of John.
But is what he says also demonstrably comparable in fact?
Can you align his words with those from the God appointed men we know are true?
NickHassan replied to the topic in the forum Preexistence 10 years, 6 months ago
Hi KW,
John was an eyewitness along with Matthew, Mark and Luke and their testimonies corroborate each other.
Tell us of the philosopher Philo and his relationship with them.
Tell us why his witness is relevant.

Hi KW,
The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
My words are spirit and truth.
do you believe this?
Do you have the same confidence in the words of John or Paul?
What about Philo?
NickHassan replied to the topic in the forum Preexistence 10 years, 6 months ago
Hi KW,
Do you equate the veracity of Philo to that of Jesus or John?
Can we quote his words with the same confidence?
Are you mature enough to know the difference?
NickHassan replied to the topic in the forum Preexistence 10 years, 6 months ago
Hi KW,
Your boast of maturity allows you to test the Spirit?
You can judge the ways of God?
whom do you serve?

Hi Miia,
Jesus Christ was sent to the lost sheep of Israel.
His initial words to the rich young man relate to their law. Only later did he offer him access to the kingdom of God.
The sheep and goat judgement of Mt 25 relates to how those of the world treat the BROTHERS.
To mistreat them is to mistreat him. To care for them is to care for…[Read more]

Hi KW,
When you read the words of John is there anything you read that is not of God’ Spirit.
If so which words?
Can you rely on his words and quote them as truth or do you have doubts?
Does 2 Peter 1.19-21 apply to his writings?
If not why not?
Do you really think the same applies to Philo’s words?
Can you hear the clear voice of the…[Read more]

Hi KW,
Do you really have such little respect for the Word of God that you would put those of carnal philosophers alongside it as equal?

You would deny the work of the Spirit in John?
What else do you deny?
