And for those who are furiously pasting Gospel quotes; You are chewing on Lego apples. Confused? What, did you think I meant that literally?

Apologies, I see I missed a thought here. // begin insert // ... and making "spirits" out to be invisible, cognizant, action-capable forces is a terrifying thought! But it is not true! Just like hell is all kinds of scary but not true. God is good. // end insert //

The Word is my passion. The fracturing of your expression is discordant like an untrained choir. The expression "God does not lay the demands" can be refuted in part or in whole, even with your expression made more readable by the placement of the missing comma. God reveals truth, the only...

I have jumped through so many that now I jump over them all; I have no doctrine, only faith.

Jesus said, "be perfect therefore as your Father in heaven is perfect." Despite the regional expansion of the faith among the Greek speaking population of the time, the Byzantine and Alexandrian texts are nearly identical. The Apostle said "study; that's how you demonstrate your approval!"...

Remember Origen? He is considered a founding father of catholicism. He is credited for the most development of the trinity before john calvin. John calvin, a name associated with protestantism, carved away a great deal of paganism from catholicism to make for less praying to the dead and less...

Clarity is my goal. If you would consider that I might have something to offer you, perhaps you won't reject it without contemplating it first, at least. God is The Spirit. Is there another? Making satan, demons, four faced spinning wheels with wings, and angels out to be "spirits" is a deep...

But the answer is two words right from Scripture; 'vain imaginations.' The stuff the Israelites ended up doing in front of God never even crossed His mind as a possibility before hand. Human nature is the polar opposite of God, as it takes truth and contorts it to fulfill a lust while...

You are convinced. I am certain that I Am is Certain.

Yeah, I posted that too quickly, sorry. The point is that there is a process you are not following. What is the thinking behind saying "you don't need to learn the Greek"? Why are you trying to put me down for studying more than you? This is just what I love to do.

Who is to blame for that?

Because you think it is possible to read in His absence. Just because you aren't asking Him what He thinks doesn't mean He doesn't see what you are reading and what you are thinking about it.

That you believe you can do anything without God is your error.

You think you can read without Him? That's why you don't know what I mean.

So... Why are you calling me "ecumenical" when I preach a faith more singular than the "triune" variant you've been on about? Why would you imply that I have said one must know Greek? I never said people need to know it, I like to because I'm all about meaning and it is my joy and pleasure to...

This word, ecumenical, would you be willing to talk about it with me? Just a brief discussion, as it is not something from the Bible, so meanings can be muddy. And if you're going to call me that, I'd like to understand why.

'In the end times there will be antichrists,' the Apostle wrote, 'and indeed they're already here.' That was 2000 years ago, give or take.

But only those who follow the guidance will actually be led into the truth to which He guides. Feeling condemned? Could it be that someone hasn't been following that guidance?

How are you going to express the right words but from the wrong idea in disagreement with me? How is it carnal to make sense of what a "spirit" is? You really want to believe in ghosts and goblins and call yourself pious for it? God makes so much more sense when you stop pursuing such...

The Greek word you posted looks like "apollumi," which I don't know yet, but it sounds like apollyon, so your definition rings true to me. However, I would contend with you both on that both death and resurrection are present occurrences which take place within the span of mortal existence for...
