Hi Gene,

No. you misquote scripture.

THE WORD WAS GOD.

Hi T8,

Yes clinging to tradition is unwise.

When we attack false teachings you can feel singed.

False teachers, false prophets and their ilk abound so let go of their nonsense.

Hi Gene,

You are not your Word.

Your word is an expression of you.

Hi Carmel,

You say that the WORD is definitely Jesus.

Jesus was conceived and born of Mary yet you say he was in the beginning with God.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.Heb 13.8

Perhaps you mean the anointing is the Word.

Hi Carmel,

The word LUCIFER only occurs once in the bible.

How can you draw these fanciful conclusions if the word itself has no witnesses? 2 Cor 13.1

Hi T8,

Diverting into proof that Jesus had a nose or the colour of his hair is unnecessary nonsense.

We know this man was like us in all aways except sin.

But you think we should assume he was born already anointed because of the prophetic words of the angel?

Hi T8,

Victory and proving yourself  is your personal aim?

Why not open your mind and seek the living truth?

It would be the best way of showing you love God.

Hi T8,

If namecalling is your thing go for it.

But schoolyard bullying is a weak defence for your wrong understandings.

Seek the Spirit.

Hi Ed,

John said of the man, Jesus Christ, that he had a higher rank because he existed before him.

John was conceived and born before Jesus. So something spiritual is going on here.

John is referring to the Word just as the other John did in his first letter.

The Word, since being made flesh at the Jordan,  is now forever one with…[Read more]

Hi Ed,

no.

To clarify;

Jesus Christ carried his own empty and dead body into the heavenly temple.

Heb 9.11f

Hi Miia,

Again, not quite.

Acts 15.19

Therefore it is my judgement that we do not trouble those who are turning to God

from among the gentiles, but that we write to them that they abstain from things

contaminated by idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood

Hi T8,

God did not curse the earth.

He cursed the ground.

Hi Miia,

Vegetarianism is a valid personal choice as Daniel and his friends showed.

But why would you browbeat all who make different choices?

Hi Miia,

Not quite the same thing.

It is not for us to question the ways of God.

Hi Ed,

So Jesus Christ no longer has a flesh body.

Hi Miia,

The High Priest (Jesus Christ) carried the flesh body of the Lamb of God(Jesus) into the heavenly temple.(Heb)

All the other animal sacrifices pointed towards this saving event.

Hi Carmel,

All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

We know that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one

Only two kinds of fruit are possible, good or evil. Natural men cannot produce good fruit

Those who are chosen and anointed can produce fruit useful to God from the anointing given them.

Hi,

Jesus was not a Son sent from among the HEAVENLY SONS OF GOD.

His God within him performed all the miracles, signs and wonders the scriptures speak of.

Acts 2.22

Hi Ed,

The Law and the prophets were proclaimed until John;

since then the gospel of the kingdom is preached

and everyone is forcing his way into it

Lk 16.16

The ministry of John was until Jesus preached the kingdom of God.

The work of the messenger was done and his role vanished.

Truly I say to you, among those born of fwomen, there has…[Read more]

Hi Carmel,

The ritual of water baptism has no ability to save a man as the case of Simon the magician in Acts 8.9 makes very clear.

It is necessary and is a plea for a clean conscience, for forgiveness and inner cleansing by God.
