    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    This is what I was explaining before. The reason you have not seen Christians who do not sin is because you are seeing them as the world sees and not as God sees. God has called the time sin ends in a person "The End", meaning Christ...because it is no longer they who live but Christ who lives...

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    I think I understand what you mean, but if that were true Jesus would have said nothing of the hypocrites.

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    This is a problem for the world, and those of the world struggle with it. That being, not drawing the line of where sin ends correctly as God does, which end has a name given to Him, which is the End. Many by unbelief seeing what appears as ongoing sin and temptations, assume that they have not...

    "This Generation" declared by Jesus.

    It is the different definitions of each of those words ("resurrection" and "ascension") that should reveal the truth. Now is the time. It's been nice discussing it with you.

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    Yes, I do, and it is appropriate. But not in the way that you assume. It is appropriate however to speak in those same terms regarding a project and the person and enterprise known as Christ. But this is like that hard saying "unless you eat of My flesh and drink of My blood." Nonetheless, these...

    "This Generation" declared by Jesus.

    As I said, He did give up His body, He gave it to the church. And you are correct that He has been made alive in the spirit, just as the scriptures say--you are just wrong on the timing, which is the difference between His resurrection and His ascension.

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    This I understand (fathom). But I have stated that many do not understand (fathom) the omnipresent nature of God in what would [only] appear to be a Trinity, calling it nonsense even. What you said, I don't consider nonsense, but rather understandable. Because you have held to the earlier...

    Who/What is Jesus if not God?

    No...God is not the author of chaos, but He is the author of confusion: Genesis 11:7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” No...I am not making things up. My statement is the blow by blow of exactly what happened in the...

    Who/What is Jesus if not God?

    The same way you explain that Eve was not her own person, but was, and again was not. Which of course is the image of just how things are with God, and has been since the beginning. Yet here we are still not seeing, still not hearing, still not understanding...and arguing about what He has...

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    Yes, some believe (apparently) that because Jesus was a man, He is forever a man, and because He came as the Son of God He is not God (or something like that)...because they cannot fathom it. And it makes sense. For this reason, God said, “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are...

    Satan was right? Egads!

    As I (and Jesus) said, "One thing is needed."

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    Here again we have the logic of men by their own worldly terms declaring what they cannot fathom--because they just can't fathom it. Meanwhile, even the story and example of the first man Adam made in God's image, does better than that. I mean, Eve who was the first example of the Bride of...

    Satan was right? Egads!

    That is all true enough. But it is also true that a moment of belief can and does fulfill every requirement. However, the greatest cautions that come from God are not for the simple who do not go to great means, but do that one thing that is needed Luke 10:42. Thus, the danger...is to the...

    Satan was right? Egads!

    Yes, I know. And then there is that "strong delusion" foretold. Still, if we believe, we are in the good hands of God who is faithful.

    "This Generation" declared by Jesus.

    It would appear that you are mixing the ability of God to manifest in the ways you have stated, that is as the appearing of angels, with that which is also presented in what God has done in Christ for the resurrection to eternal life. Those are two separate acts of God, not to be confused. The...

    The theological fallacy of a spiritual 'resurrection'

    I was responding to your premise that as you say again here, is that the body of flesh-and-blood is what is changed to be immortal...rather than Jesus' indication that the flesh and the spirit are separate, each born of their own in kind--not converted. Meaning that the change that Paul spoke of...

    Satan was right? Egads!

    You're not factoring in "what men meant for evil..."

    Satan was right? Egads!

    No...God alone has dominion over His word, not Satan. In my case, there were no translators involved--just God Himself leading me to His word. This is my confidence. But do beware. Satan does have allowances regarding the wise.

    The theological fallacy of a spiritual 'resurrection'

    Why should it? That is, why should the scriptures do anything other than point to the spiritual--that is to God by means of what is manifest in the flesh? (Rhetorical) The precedence for what I am pointing out...is Jesus' bodily resurrection followed by going to the Father who is spirit. As...

    Not Born with Sin Nature

    Like I said.
