Hi TC,

Lk 9.36 is not before the Jordan, but after, as is Jn 12.28, Mt 17.5 etc when the Father spoke.

But it was at the Jordan when God first introduced His Son to men.

’This is My beloved son, in whom I am well pleased’ Mt 3.17

God fulfilled the prophecy of Ps 2

’Thou art My Son.Today I have begotten thee..’

Hi TC,

Context. Jn 5. 18f

The Master was rebuking the rebellious Jews.

God had spoken to them from the beginning but they did not know His voice.

He was not making a statement that no man can ever hear the voice of God, except in your imagination.

unwise

Hi TC,

You make statements about nobody ever hearing the voice of God.

Scripture does not say ever so.

You are on your own.

Your foundation is sand..you.

Hi TC,

Nobody has heard God?

You make stuff up in the way of the Gnostics.

The basis of what you write is not revelation but your own fanciful intellect.

Hi Jodi,

You may admire the DEPTH OF YOUR THINKING,

but it would be wiser to fear God and take care with your handling of His Word.

Hi Jodi,

Paul was an anointed man.

Not to be confused with carnal men.

Hi Jodi,

You confuse the grace of God, available to all or none could be saved,

with the work of the Spirit of God in chosen vessels.

The Spirit is of Grace too, so seek this blessing from our loving Father.

Hi Jodi,

God is close to all men as Acts 17 shows.

But He only lives in cleansed vessels,

You think AND is just used for purposes of emphasis by repetition?

An unwise assumption on the carefully made word of God.

Hi Jodi,

MEASURES OF HIS SPIRIT are given to all men? Rubbish.

God does not share ANY of His Holy Spirit with the sons of Adam.

With the obvious exceptions of His Sons, His prophets and His apostles.

And He will later pour out His Spirit on all flesh.Jl 2

Do not put words in His Mouth.

Hi Anthony,

2 Tim 2.21

Therefore, if a man cleanses himself from these things,he will be a vessel for honour,

sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.

Now flee from youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace,

with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

God wants us to cooperate with the…[Read more]

Hi Mike,

But for us there is one  God, The Father..

Are you among the us?

Hi Gene,

In Christ Jesus all will be made alive.

All are not IN CHRIST JESUS.

Hi Anthony,

Jesus confused the unspiritual by saying some standing with him would never die.

They would not suffer the REAL DEATH, THE SECOND DEATH, THE LAKE OF FIRE.

Hi Gene,

Jesus brought FORGIVENESS OF SIN. Do you believe this?

He took away the curse of sin and death for those safely in him.

Do you deny the possibility of freedom from sin?

Hi Gene,

Don’t sweat about the first death.

The second death is the endgame.

Hi Anthony,

You have two scriptures saying different things and neither say what you do.

Find some witnesses.

Hi Anthony,

No scripture stands alone but God has given us supporting scriptures to reveal truth.

If YOU think this verse has the meaning you give it then find parallel verses.

2 Cor 13.1

Hi Anthony,

The scriptures you offered do not say that MAN SINS IN BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT.

Why would you try to build on a foundation of sand?

Hi Gene,

Best to have already passed over from death to life. Jn 5.24

Those who have been reborn from above have eternal life by the Spirit of life abiding in them.

They have died with Christ Jesus in water baptism so that losing the life in the blood is no longer relevant to them.

Hi Jodi,

Where does scripture say that God gives HIS SPIRIT to ALL men?

If it does not why do you propagate falsehoods?
