The soul, our 'persona' (self), is the seat of our consciousness, our will decides between good and evil. I believe our soul's decision process is a balance of: •Our flesh, the source of; desires, memories, thoughts, and reasoning.•Our spirit, the embodiment of intellect and power, host to the emotions, influenced from higher sources of good and…[Read more]

T8Well at this point in my life I can only offer my opinion as one seeking truth. I have found that even people I trust have errors (well at least one of us is wrong). Stu is right on one point; no two Christians agree on everything. I believe that only scripture and the Holy Spirit can teach with authority and for now all I will offer is my…[Read more]

Good idea, except won't the dodgers just not post?I would gladly post my beliefs, and defend them, but at some point, with some people, I fear it would become casting pearls, especially from those who do not believe scripture. Question, once I've responded to a counter-point but someone wants to continue to belabor a point, but I don't, will I be…[Read more]

I have always been interested in first hand accounts. Over the years I have heard it from soldiers, POW's, and even an SS officer. Thank you for sharingWm

My opinion,I chose Jesus has the same Body but it was glorified and changed! I believe that initially Jesus was only only raised from the dead a body of flesh and blood, but as illustrated by the scripture below we was given a “clean turban on his head”, glorified, and “I will put fine garments on you”, changed.Zechariah 3 Clean Garments for the…[Read more]

Welcome Ludwik

terraricca,Lk 20:35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, Lk 20:36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection.

My only concern is the deleting of obscene post, I don't really care about the ones selling pills, but I wouldn't want kids seeing some of those sites we've had here at times. T8, I know you do all you can and it is much appreciated.Thank you – Wm

Mike.Good point on the wounds, I agree. Did you check out Zechariah 13:6 from my post above?My opinion – Wm

Don't you think I've read that, how do you know what we can or cannot do in our glorified bodies.Wm

Mike,Zechariah 13:1 “On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity. 2 “On that day, I will banish the names of the idols from the land, and they will be remembered no more,” declares the LORD Almighty. “I will remove both the prophets and the spirit of impurit…[Read more]

Stu,There you have it, the finer point in what I believe about God. Sorry to everyone else for the long posts.Wm

10 Commandments – Full obedience to the Law will earn you the right to expect eternal life but only Jesus has been able to accomplish it and in doing so He paid the price for all (He fulfilled the Law). Everyone else must rely on their rejection of self and love for others this is best accomplished through a better understanding of how God p…[Read more]

Jesus/creationPerhaps the creation of the “heavens and the earth” was the conception of the Son and “let there be light” was the birth of the Son of God (operating independent from the Father but as a child). Man’s purpose – The Father created us to rule under His Son over this creation. The finite nature of this corporeal existence provided an…[Read more]

5sRomans 14:1Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters. 2One man's faith allows him to (understand more things and) eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, (understands less and) eats only vegetables. 3The man who (has more knowledge) eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the…[Read more]

Trinity – God is a title of position, the Father is far beyond all including even our corporeal universe and He is the source of everything. The Son is the image of the Father and has the nature of the Father (He is all that can be perceived of the Father by those of us in this corporeal existence) and is God’s representative and is in all way…[Read more]
