    Is the Logos meaningful, or meaningless? - Depends on your view of Logos.

    No yes yes.. The point I make is that He is not subject to Human logic - He walks on water and turns it into wine.

    Is the Logos meaningful, or meaningless? - Depends on your view of Logos.

    Seems strange that folks demand of God that His ways are logical when He says they are past finding out.

    What is the difference between the indwelling Spirit and the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    This is an interesting one... From Col 1: 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. 13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the...

    What is the difference between the indwelling Spirit and the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Yes... it is mysterious to me as well, given what the politicians are doing to it... Here is an example... Govt gives 4M to indigenous group who use it to record the sounds of Whales off shore and playing the sounds to trees in the forrest to heal a serious tree disease. (sigh...)

    Smoke weed

    Over seven years I was dealing with spiritual barbs and learned to refuse them again and again in Jesus Name. Satan does not release easy, but if we stand consistently in His Name he will loose. Remember Jesus's authority is supreme in all realms - physical, spiritual mental. We don't have to...
