Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 12 2012,14:29)Toby,The topic of the thread is “do spirits have bodies”Ghosts are spirits.Therefore this thread is about ghosts or any other spirit you care to name.My question is “do ghosts have bodies?”Hi Kerwin.There exists no such thing as a 'Ghost'.'Ghost' is not a Scripturally endorsed word.You may well find it in some…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Mar. 12 2012,04:19)Toby………What Mike is trying to Do is change the topic, its not about Angels it is about “Do SPIRITS HAVE BODIES”He thinks if he can divide us on another issue then he win his Point,  don't fall for it , the issue on this post is clear and we Both are agreement on it.  If he wants to discus Angels he n…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Mar. 12 2012,03:41)Kerwin………….You can not take a Parable as a Literal thing , it is given to illustrate a Principle it is an allegorical picture of judgments . And that analogy is not a analogy about the dead still living when they die. The example is about how some have a easy life with riches and do not suffer in…[Read more]

Terraricca,Did you even read anything I said about Gene's belief and mine?Did you read the part I highlighted for Mikeboll to read?It just seems that your pointless response is just a result of having nothing else to do.Read what I asked concerning the paragraph i quoted and have a guess why the answer was 'No'.Your ability to reason must be…[Read more]

Can I report that post?

Mikeboll,You said: Quote Toby, all of your rebuttals are equally lame.  I just don't have the interest in showing you this stuff over and over again due to the fact that you're pig-headed.OK.  But are you sure this isn't your euphormism for 'I am found out'?Up to now,  you cannot seem to outline in detail what your belief is, but only put a bit he…[Read more]

Hi Mikeboll,You do realise that references to Angels in Heaven with Wings are Symbolic only.If you are going to believe Angels are such then you must also believe that Jesus:1) Has hair as white as wool, a double-edged sword for a tongue and feet made of bronze2) Is a Lamb 'as if slaughtered'3) A giant Angel (With no wings)!!And the Spirit that is…[Read more]

Hi Mikeboll,You said:Quote As for the understandings of certain scriptures that I posted, your responses are laughable at best.  For example, 2 Cor 5 clearly states that God will not leave us naked, but will give us a spiritual tent to replace our earthly one.  Yet you blew right over that part.How many times do you want answers to questions you a…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Mar. 11 2012,07:39)You mention me changing doctrines.  When?  I started off believing that spirit beings such as angels and Jesus have bodies.  I still believe that.I did change my understanding about Jesus being raised from the dead as a spirit being.  I no longer think that.  But other than that, I still picture angels in h…[Read more]

Mikeboll,Please can you see here what Gene says: Quote ……………Once a man dies his two components, a Body and a Spirit split the Spirit goes back to God who gave it in the first place and the body goes to the grave (Sheol) and corrupts back to dust or ashes. as it is said dust to dust and ashes to ashes, there is no more a SOUL in existence…[Read more]

Hi Mikeboll.Let me first apologise for the long post below but it is only in response to your own.You said:Quote Toby,I already told Pierre in a pm that it wouldn't take long before you started claiming victory.I did not claim a victory but merely stated a fact.  Perhaps you were too eagerly 'Looking' for what you expected – and couldn't resist…[Read more]

Hi Terraricca,You said:Quote you never answer my question ;;tobyspirit (angel,God) what are they beside being spirits ??(i mean actions)I don't understand your question.  It's not even a question that requires an answer as far as I can see.At no time have I ever said that an Angel or God were not Spirits.  In fact I have said over and over that t…[Read more]

Hi Gene.Thanks for the support and advice, but I don't think I am under any illusion concerning the intent of either Mikeboll or Terraricca.It was obvious that they were getting themselves in a tangle and were frustrated by all the deceptions of words and false ideas they had created.At no point were they willing to honestly define the words and…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Mar. 09 2012,09:13)Toby, I don't really care if you agree with me or not.  I really and truly don't.Take careMikeboll,This is excellent.Do you know I said to someone that you would say exactly that!Do as you please – but be truthful, honest and sincere – and you will do well.Take care.
