You say the spirit spoke these words though the body of Jesus. The problem with the view that Jesus is but a mere flesh body but was the chosen vessel for the Spirit is numerous. For a start, Jesus would go around saying he was God and the Father if God hijacked the body for his purpose and spoke directly for himself. Further, when Jesus says:…[Read more]

Please explain how much you think men contribute to the work of God.

Was Jesus led by the Spirit or did he do the work alone with just get an occasional inspiration?

Jesus said: “yet not my will, but yours be done”. It’s about surrendering your will to God’s will. Jesus set that example for us.

I agree. History is a teacher too and God uses it. Even our own experiences in life is a teacher.

Hi Plankandnails. Thanks for your input on this subject. I tend to agree that two are being referred to. And that he is the image of the invisible God.

Gene?

Atheism is a false belief and one of the most dangerous.

I was saved through our Lord Jesus Christ. By believing and living in him. Constantine got water baptised at the end of his life in case it was true. God expects his children to live better than that I am sure.

You can’t be saved if you live in the desert, unless you live near a spring. Neither is any man saved before John. LOL.

Wikipedia is interesting. While I use it a lot, I do bear in mind that many editors are Atheist.

I don’t think Jacinda will get a second term, but neither do I think she can do too much damage in the time she has. While she has damaged trans-tasman relations and the Kiwi dollar has sunk, these can recover quickly if the Nats get back in. In short I am not worried for NZ. I had more concern for the US, but against all odds, Trump got in. I…[Read more]

YHWH is the God of Israel. Some people think he is not the God of Israel including Muslims. It seems the whole world has chosen to side one way or the other. The world will gather against her for sure. Interesting times.

Didn’t know she was brought up a Mormon. I wonder if she is an Atheist?

God also used and spoke through Israel. And while the world is gathered against her, against all the odds, Israel is still here.

@mia

Are you not the person who mocked the idea of Trump becoming the president before the election?

If so, then obviously you were wrong and you might need to revaluate things a bit.

If not, then ignore this post.

I just found it interesting how Trump tried to blackmail other countries by saying he would make a note of which ones don’t comply with his desire and withhold financial aid to them. And good Jacinta wouldn’t be bullied by him!

Do you honestly think Trump believed he could sway everyone to his way of thinking. Let’s be real here. He surely kne…[Read more]

It is inevitable that the world will turn away from God and his people, and also Israel.

Also, I don’t ever remember Jacinda being a person of faith. So her stance means nothing to me, honestly nothing. She comes across to me as one who has strong ideals and beliefs, but little experience and little to no wisdom too.

God is the God of Israel.…[Read more]

Agreed. She can only speak for herself. She might be one of these Social Justice Warrior types. Many have infiltrated mainstream churches.

Jacinta Arden (NZ’s Prime Minister), is against Trump’s idea and favors a two state solution. How does that make you feel?

I have no feelings about that. Some are for God some are against. Some are for God’s people, some against. Some are for Israel, some against. It has always been that way. So I have never thought about Jacinta Arden and Isra…[Read more]

Jesus is coming to Jerusalem again and the scriptures that say so are not talking about Heavenly Jerusalem. Of course Heavenly Jerusalem the city of God is real, but that doesn’t negate Jerusalem Israel on planet Earth.

I copied the following from elsewhere. It pretty much conveys what I would have posted.
