Can someone tell me what scripture(s) states that Jesus changed from body to spirit during the Ascension? What about John 20:17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” What kind of body did he have…[Read more]

1) No2) No3) YesI believe that when God gave dominion to man He did just that (at least for the first few ages we're now in the last one) and all that happens on earth is as a result of cause and effect, except where man (through prayer) has “empowered” God to interfere (thus not breaking His giving man dominion) or satan's interference (although…[Read more]

Dew,So you would dis-agree, if you would please cast your vote above. This is not the thread to discuss disagreements but at some point I would like to know what is it we have to overcome to obtain salvation?Thanks – Wm

Marlin1,Romans 9:10-15 And not only this, but there was Rebekah also, when she had conceived twins by one man, our father Isaac; 11 for though the twins were not yet born and had not done anything good or bad, so that God’s purpose according to His choice would stand, not because of works but because of Him who calls, 12 it was said to her, “…[Read more]

Lord I just lift Keith's wife up to you and ask that you would just touch and heal her, make your presence known to her and Keith. I ask you to bless them in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen

Wakeup,No offense on my part brother (or is it sister?)First point I want to make is; truth is absolute. There are not different versions of truth, just different levels of understanding, in different areas, of one all-encompassing truth.I believe scriptures are accurate and our most reliable source to truth; nonetheless misunderstandings from…[Read more]

Pierre Quote the body is only a structure with physical,ears,eyes,and expressions of the heartI agree, but Job said it was those physical eyes he would see God.Wm

Pierre,Can't argue with that.Wm

Mike,When an angel manifests on earth to interact with man (a physical, tangible, body) does he see with “their own eyes”. I believe your missing the point Job was making, he realized that although he would die and his flesh rot, he would see God with his very own eyes, stressing that it was his, not anothers. My opinion – Wm

Pierre,I believe there is a spiritual element to truth that only God's Spirit can revel to us and I've found that there are also many layers to truth.My opinion – Wm

Georg,I agree we can learn facts, even knowing word for word the entire Bible but it is only the Holy Spirit that can revel the truths behind it and give us true understanding.My opinion – Wm

Georg,I pray that God's grace may abound and that your colds may pass quickly.The best response I can answer with is how I see these verses interpreted Rom 8 (paraphrased) We know that in everything God works for the good of those who love him. These are the people God chose, because that was his plan. He originally determined in His plan for the…[Read more]

Welcome dew,I agree that salvation is by faith, lived faithfully. Hope you stick around.My opinion – Wm

Thank you Georg, God has been good to me.

Tim,Perhaps you're misunderstanding me, I want to be clear, one does not obatain salvation through anything but faith in what God did through His Son. But, for those of us who love God (the source of true faith, loving God) we will want to please Him (its something you do for those you love) so we will conform to the image of His Son, our brother…[Read more]

Ed,Sorry I missed your post, been busy.Psalms 139:2 You know when I sit down and when I get up. You know my thoughts from far away. 3 You know where I go and where I lie down.

Georg,Thank you for the scripture, hope you and Irene are doing well. I believe the scripture could go either way, which is why I'm looking into it.Isaiah 46:10 “In the beginning, I told you what would happen in the end. A long time ago, I told you things that have not happened yet. When I plan something, it happens. I do whatever I want to do.I b…[Read more]

Tim,I agree that faith alone provides the salvation bought through the sacrifice of Jesus. But, if that faith does not produce works, it is not real faith. James 2:20 Faith that does nothing is worth nothing. Do you want me to prove this to you? 21 Our father Abraham was made right with God by what he did. He offered his son Isaac to God on the…[Read more]
