Hi Gene,

Obedience and repentance is of grace.

But rebellion is not.

Are you under the law of sin and death?

Hi Jodi,

you say

’To have our Creators Spirit dwelling in us means that our spirit is not carnally minded but spiritually minded, we follow not our own wills or our own ways, we seek God’s ways, His wisdom, His character.

6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.

31 Therefore shall they ea…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,

 You say

The Spirit of Life represents God’s ability to create another living thing. God created us giving us our own spirit, our own mind. God gives our spirit gifts of His Spirit, wisdom, understanding, patience, kindness, goodness. Without God’s mercy giving man these gifts we would be ignorant and foolish. 

The Spirit of Life is Go…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

Dust Man became a living soul.

Men do die but the Saviour has overcome death.

He died and yet lives with his anointed brothers from the OT and the NT.

His brothers sleep.

Hi Jodi,

The Spirit of God does not REPRESENT God’s power but IS God’s power to create.

He does share His Spirit with the called and chosen ones who obey His Son.

But the natural ways of men are from creation and influenced by Satan.

The whole world is under the power of the evil one.

Hi TC,

It is vital that those reborn of the Spirit feed on the word of life and let it transform their minds to that of Christ.

The still small voice must become greater than our carnal thoughts.

Hi Gene,

God is the God of the Living ones.

They are alive in the eyes of our God.

But not good enough for your human logic?

Hi Gene,

The Living do not need to receive the breath of life again at the resurrection.

The Spirit of ETERNAL LIFE resides in their souls even after death.

Hi Jodi,

Death is a ONLY referred to as SLEEP for the LIVING.

Lazarus will rise with the living, but sleeps in death.

Hi TC,

Yes there are warnings about losing the Spirit.

But you tell us that none can keep the Spirit, even Jesus Christ.

Strange.

Hi TC

you say

Those with the spirit of God in them before Pentecost did have the holy spirit depart from them at death. That included the Messiah after he died . When did it return to them? It was after Christ had resurrected and ascended into heaven to be with his father.

Where do these ideas spring from? Are they written?

You would divide…[Read more]

Hi TC,

Matt 7.22

‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied  in thy name?,and in thy name cast out out many demons ?and in thy name done many wonderful works?’

Then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me ye who work iniquity.

Hi TC,

Yes we are warned to guard the treasure of the Holy Spirit in our vessels.

To taste of the Spirit but not submit to the leading of that Spirit leaves us worse off.

And to lose the Spirit is to join those spoken of in Rom 8 who do not have the Spirit and are none of his.

Hi TC,

DYING TO DEATH is another strange subject.

Hi TC,

You find it incredible we do not follow your particular logic?

Logic is uselessness, quenching is not loss.

Presumption is not of faith.

Hi Gene,

If Scripture bowed to logic you might have a point.

Hi T8,

Do your research before you judge.

And if you find someone has learned something rejoice.

And then wonder why you regard it as a virtue to be infallible and to never learn .

Hi TC,

You have not proven your case. You have not justified your doctrine.

To say that David was concerned that he might lose the Spirit is not proof he did.

To quench the Spirit is not to lose the Spirit. But those who are led by the Spirit are the sons of God.

Did all the bridesmaids run out of oil in Mt 25?  No.  But five of the ten d…[Read more]

Hi TC,

The Soul is not immortal.

It can die in the second death.

mt 10.28

Hi Anthony,

So you have identified Lazarus and the rich man as real men in the Lk 16 parable.

It would take a brave man to say the rest of the parable is FICTION.
