    1 John 2:5 (WEB) 5 But God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. John 14:15-16 (WEB) 15 If you love me, keep my commandments. 16 I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever: 17 the Spirit of truth Acts 5:32...

    Love is the reason I dialogued with you. Love for God is the reason I believe God's Word and uphold it. Love is the foundation of the Law and the Prophets. Love is the leading Fruit of God's Spirit in the hearts of believers.

    They don't relate in your mind, because you don't understand the Scriptures. All the Scriptures I posted were relevant, and answered the questions you had. However, You still want to believe that the Spirit is the Living Word of God - not one Scripture states or teaches this. You still want...

    You say you stand on God's Word, but you made it clear that you do not - they don't make sense to you. Ritajanice said: Now, do you want to keep posting scripture that makes no sense to me, or would you like to call it a day?xx Exactly. However, the Gospel Call to salvation is available to...

    Once again, you are not reading or answering my responses. I objected to you saying that the Scriptures "makes" one Born Again; and now, you say it all over again, ignoring my reply. Your "Therefore" is based on your false premise that "the Scriptures "makes" one Born Again." No one believes...

    The Spirit of Truth is not the Word of Truth. Amen. The inspired Holy Scriptures are the words of the Spirit. 1 Timothy 3:16 (WEB) 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, Ephesians 6:17 (WEB) 17... and the sword of the...

    That is not a question. To be born of the Spirit is Spiritual Life, and is by the Spirit of Christ dwelling IN US: Romans 8:10-11 (WEB) 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the {Spirit of Christ}, he is...

    Yes. We are born again by the indwelling Spirit giving us life as we believe in the Word about Christ. John 7:38 (WEB) 38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.” 39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him...

    The world is filled with false teachers who profess they have the Spirit, but they teach things that go beyond what is written. How will you know the truth from the false without God's Word? 1 Corinthians 4:6 (NIV) 6 Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos...

    Not quite. I don't see any Scriptures that call the Holy Spirit "a Living Spirit." Can you show me the Scriptures that state that the Holy Spirit "a Living Spirit?" Can you quote me the Scriptures that state that there is a difference between the Inspired Word of God and God's living word...

    The incorruptible seed is the living seed. The living seed is not the living word of God, but rather, the living seed is the Holy Spirit. The Spirit always works with the Word to give life, just as in Genesis. So the Spirit convicts the world as the Gospel is preached.

    The witness of the Holy Spirit is the God-breathed Written Word of God that God commanded. Romans 16:25-27 (NIV) 25 Now to him who is able to establish you in accordance with my gospel, the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages...

    We agree that no one who is born of God will continue living in sin; however, we are born of God of the Spirit by faith because of the Word that was preached to us. Ephesians 1:13 (WEB) 13 In him you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation - in whom, having...

    The Holy Spirit is the "incorruptible seed" but the Holy Spirit is not the Living Word of God. No such Scripture. Peter identified "the word of God" in "1 Peter 1:23' as being that same "word" of the Gospel that was preached to them. 1 Peter 1:23-25 (WEB) 23 having been born again, not of/from...

    Thank you. In "1 Peter 1:22-25," pay careful attention to grammar and context. Yes, I have always stated that the imperishable seed is the Holy Spirit, and that is why I also quoted for you "Ephesians 1:13" as follows: Ephesians 1:13 (WEB) 13 In him you also, having heard the word of the...

    setst777 said: As I wrote about a month ago, and so I say again: Through the Word of God we, who believe, are born again by the Spirit onto a living hope - that is the imperishable seed. Can you show, by Scripture, that the inspired "written word of God" is different from "His living word?"...

    As I wrote about a month ago, and so I say again: Through the Word of God we, who believe, are born again by the Spirit onto a living hope - that is the imperishable seed.

    I say you introduced the phrase "imperishable seed" because you did not quote a Scripture with that phrase; rather, I quoted it after you introduced it. Here is all you wrote about "imperishable seed," and notice, you did not quote a Scripture with it at that time. Ritajanice said: But of...

    About a month ago (4/21/2021) you introduced the phrase "imperishable seed" to me, and I responded to you about that. What does that have to do with our present discussion about calling Jesus "Lord?"
