@Jodi Hi Jodi,
The human spirit gives life to a man, as Eccl 12 shows it is like going daily to the well.
As it also shows man has only a limited lifespan and the cord will break and the bucket fall to the bottom of the well.
Man must receive the Spirit of eternal life, the river of life, before he dies so that death loses it’s sting.NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 11 months ago
@t8 Hi T8,
So you think Jesus was a god but not our God?
Was he one of many gods or did he have a place above other gods?
You believe a god had to die to save men and we can follow this god despite his inbuilt advantages?”
For us there is ONE GOD and one Lord, Jesus Christ.
Polytheism is not for us.Nick, there is one God who has always existed. Obviously, what I said is actually scripture that you can checkout for yourself. It also stands to reason that someone had to be first to be with God. What we read is the Word was with God and the universe was made through the Word and all that was made came through the Word. Likewise, we read that…[Read more]

@Jodi Hi Jodi,
Paul was filled with the Spirit.
Acts 9.17 Acts 13.9
The bible is replete with many examples of men being filled with the Spirit while they walked the earth.Nick, Paul was filled with the Spirit to a measure that made him an apostle, but he was not FULL of the Spirit to a measure where he was perfected. Yes many men are filled with the Spirit, filled with wisdom, filled with knowledge, with workmanship..etc. Jesus was the only mortal given the full measure that would enable him to remain without sin.

@Jodi Hi Jodi,
Dust is not the source of the breath of God.
Soul and spirit derive from that holy breath.
The spirit returns to Gd at death ( Eccl 12)I didn’t say that the dust was the source of the breath of God, God is the source of our breath.
This passage shows what I am saying,
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Yes those who listened to Peter were cut to the heart and obeyed the command to be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ.
Do we have any reason not to do the same?NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 11 months ago

Paul was filled with the Spirit, yet he was troubled by SIN IN THE FLESH.

Heb 5 7
In the days of his flesh….
These are not the days of the flesh for him.Nick, you are denying straight forward scripture, and then saying a passage says something that it does not. You are forcing the text to your belief.
You leave out the WHEN
7 Who in the days of his flesh WHEN he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in…[Read more]

@Jodi Hi Jodi,
Jesus was rather sed in his flesh and bone body to fulfil the sign of Jonah.
The body of the sacrificial Lamb of God was carried into the temple by the High Priest, Jesus Christ.Once again you are denying clear passage. The sign is about three days and three nights he would rise again, such does not dissolve the fact that the one to sit on David’s throne would be of the flesh of David’s loins. There is no part of the sign that means his rising was to be in a temporary form. You can’t prove anything with the sign of…[Read more]

@Jodi Hi Jodi,
Flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdomYes flesh and blood cannot, that is why it is said that one is to be born of water and of the Spirit, there is no more blood. Jesus WAS raised to life in HIS GLORY, raised incorruptible, and it is Jesus who is of the fruit of David’s loins, ACCORDING to the FLESH that he sits on his throne. Mortal flesh is weak, immortal flesh that has God’s…[Read more]

@Jodi Hi Jodi,
You say that the breath of God is of the dust of earth?.The breath of God is giving life to that which He formed from the dust of the earth. There is no part of us that is immortal, when the body dies the person is dead, they have no thoughts, no memories, they cannot make any plans, they cannot do good or evil. The point of death is a punishment for sin, it’s taking away your life, not taking your…[Read more]

@Jodi Hi Jodi,
Yes all is of grace.
Obedience also is of grace.
Knowledge will count for nothing.Godly knowledge certainly counts for something Nick…
“whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” (Phil 4:8)Knowledge comes from God, without God’s grace giving us truth we are nothing more than a dumb dog. Without God’s Spirit of knowledge working in us we would not know Him or know Jesus in truth.
