Quote (Gene Balthrop @ June 08 2010,01:41)To ALL…….The basic Problem here is Most do not even know what SPIRIT IS. So we get all these speculations and confusions about it. SPIRIT is in SIMPLEST TERMS (INTELLECT) and there are Many. There is clean and unclean spirits (intellects) there are Evil and Good Spirits (intellects) there is the Spirit…[Read more]

Logic dictates that design is the result of a designer. Effect has a cause. Any amount of finite can easily be the result of infinite.Yet some self-proclaimed logical men think that this isn't always the case.

Quote (Oxy @ June 14 2010,18:39)So I guess we should throw the Old Testament away then… or is there another answer?Yes there is an answer. Take a look at Judges 13:20-22 20 As the flame blazed up from the altar toward heaven, the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame.
