So you believe it is an entity that can live separately from our bodies. So that implies then that you believe that the spirit, not the body, is what you are, which means that the body is merely a vessel for your self. In other words, you are not your physical body, but you are your spirit...

Yes, that's a good question, but I learned something interesting that seems to call this into question. Scientists here in my hometown of Edmonton did an experiment using rats or mire or something. Basically they taught the mice how to get out of a maze, and then the mice's offspring, also...

Speaking of spirits, I've seen several videos of orbs that I'd like to get some opinions on. The one that I'd really like to share, I can't find it right now, it was featured on the Secret of Skinwalker Ranch show, but here's another example of an orb. Are these orbs spirits?

So you're saying that a person's soul is their conscious, their will, their emotions and their mind. I guess you could wrap that all up into a word, but does it mean anything else? Is the word "soul" just a catch all for grouping those things you mentioned, or is the soul also an entity that...

No, it wasn't just an opinion. He had some language references to support his point. I wish I could find it again, but I don't remember where I saw it. To be honest, it could've even have been a video. I'm not sure.

I knew we could find some common ground. :)

Exactly. This new covenant establishes the kingdom of God / the kingdom of Israel / the kingdom of Heaven / Christendom. These are all the same thing, and it is into this kingdom that we were gathered at that time.

Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans in AD 70. Also the entire chapter of Ezekiel 16 is devoted to describing Jerusalem as the prostitute. There are further clues that make the identity of the harlot obvious. For example, in Revelation it says the harlot is drunk on the blood of the...

So, when the spirit is mentioned in scripture do you think it refers to a person's nature, or an entity that lives inside our bodies and can leave our bodies?

Maybe I didn't explain myself properly. I'm not suggesting that "our spirit" gets resurrected instead of our physical body. I'm saying that we get resurrected as a spiritual body, when our physical body dies. In other words, I don't believe we have a spirit living inside of our bodies at all...

Do you not believe that Jesus has conquered death? He certainly demonstrated it when he rose after three days did he not? And if he conquered death, then we're Gucci, but if not, then our faith is futile and we would guilty of false witness about God. Does that sound familiar? It should...

I didn't realize you could cc people in a reply. That's cool. How do you do it?

Just trying to clearly understand what you're saying here. It sounds like you're saying the soul is the person's consciousness. Is that how you would describe it? Speaking of consciousness, I read a very interesting interpretation of Genesis 1 recently, and the author claimed that when God...

That's all very confusing. You say spirit and soul are synonyms, but they're not the same thing. So essentially we have two spirits, or two souls, and we call one of them spirit, and the other one soul. They are separate, but inseparable. They are "the person inside the body" but we have to...

Is the harlot not destroyed in Revelation? I thought we agreed that Jerusalem is the harlot.

I noticed that you refer to Israel as the harlot, do you mean the harlot of Revelation?

You say the death and resurrection of the two witnesses can not be symbolic, but do you believe the death and resurrection of the beast is symbolic? What's the difference? If one can be symbolic, so can the other.

I don't believe we will necessarily experience the same type of resurrection that Jesus did. I don't see anything, other than the example of Christ, that says our physical bodies will be made immortal. It makes much more sense to me that we will receive new spiritual bodies, instead of an...

So, since you are an expert on the Spirit of Christ, how do you define it? What is it?

It looks like you didn't read what I said. I believe the gathering together refers not to a rapture, but to the beginning of Christendom. God's people were gathered into the kingdom, which is Christendom. Do you not believe that Christendom began in the 1st century AD? Do you not believe...
