Paul spoke the inspired word of God and where he took liberty to offer his own thoughts, he so stated such as 1 Cor 7:6; so, in this case Paul was speaking on behalf of God not himself. Regarding the word 'pastor', it's more often than not misused and the meaning misunderstood. A 'pastor' is...

I can't agree with your comment regarding there never being a case where the two, spirit and soul, are ever separated. The bible says the body returns to the earth from whence it came and the Spirit returns to God who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:7 "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it...

The Spirit comes from God that enables the soul to become a conscious, living being. There's not a lot in scripture about either and I choose not to speculate, but Gen 2 gives us a clue as to the nature and origin of the spirit. I'll also repost a short post of mine on this subject, but once...

Also, Spirit and soul, according to Hebrews 4:12, can be divided, so they cannot be one in the same. "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of...

For clarification also. The word too in Greek used for "soul" in this passage is psyche, 'soul'. See the interlinear. So, this supports the understanding that everything that has life is a being, a creature with a soul. The soul is not the spirit but rather it's the thing, the creature that has...

Yes. In Lebanon. Read Ezekiel 31.

Animals ARE living souls just as we are. And, Solomon says Ecclesiastes 3:21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

A saved person (which is not simply a believer) can lose their salvation as the scriptures teach

After belief doesn't matter, but it's rather after becoming a Christian which is not determined by just belief. But even after becoming a Christian, one is still a fleshly being and prone to sin. We don't become perfect upon becoming a Christian.

Emphatically yes for worship services. Scripture supports this for a variety of reasons, 1st and foremost to commune with the Lord by partaking of the Lord's supper.

It wasn't the generation to which he was speaking to, that of his disciples; it was a future generation.

Not a view I personally subscribe to for a variety of reasons

A great many people get Matt 24 wrong, incorrectly assuming that the tribulation spoken of there is that of the end times and coming of Christ as opposed to it being the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., and therefore have a problem distinguishing who the comments were made to when considering the...

Add Apollos to your list of apostles. Paul referred to he and Apollos as apostles 1 Cor 4:6-9, and Barnabas too, Acts 14:14.

How many truths are there, 200 in the US, and 45k world wide? No, there's one and it's up to each of us to seek it out and let the scriptures guide us. If you're doing something not supported by scripture, then it's not truth even though something may actually be occurring, and likewise, if...

You have a distorted understanding of scripture. Anyone who thinks they are actually praying to God via sounds they are making or verbalizing but has no clue what they're saying to him or asking of him doesn't understand the reason for prayer, and has been lead astray by doctrines founded upon a...

Hebrews 6:4-6 "4For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance...

God through his written word.

I do not have it nor want it as it's unscriptural. Goodbye
