I'll tell you what John 8:24 and its context and meaning, again...as to others at least ---------------------------------------------- John 8:24 and 28 – Epistrophe I am - that you would die in your sins Two of the so-called seven absolute “I am” statements of Christ. (Joh 8:24) I told you...

Are you chasing a ghost without even bothering to clarify what you mean or understand the topic? Acting as if you are above it all because you assume your conclusion is automatically true? It seems like you're grasping at straws to support the unusual idea that the Son of God speaks and...

Look JLB, you do not get it do you, I'm amazed. Many scripture is formed in a type poetic language. I believe you need to learn more about how scripture is represented. You must know the culture and style of writing and speaking, a couple of thousand years back and more. It's for the advanced...

So I take it you are overwhelmed and concede, in that what I presented is nothing you have seen before and you are at at a loss for words. That happens sometimes and nothing to be ashamed of after you swallow your pride.

(Rom 14:17) " For the kingdom of God is not about what we eat and drink, but about righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. " We live in and acknowledge we experience this peace of the Spirit of God that builds our confidence to do as you say. Letting others know with this new...

Well let me start with last item first. I gave this commentary of 1 Timothy 3:16 in another thread on this site not too long ago. Here it is again... 1 Timothy 3:16 – segments of Christ’s life This verse is set as a creed as a hymn in poetic language. The controversy centers around the use of...

I don't think I was on that Forum. I've been on a few where the emphasis was on the Bible only.

Well I feel a lot different since that special day in April 1974. And it's the faith and boldness for God that is getting stronger all the time. I can just sense the joy that will be in the Kingdom, in the spirit of life. And yes, we must have it and work it, everyday, in Christ, as the precious...

My skin just got goosepimples/bumps all over, after reading your last words. Knowing that Christ knows us today and into tomorrow. I've still got them writing this last line...sml..oh what a feeling

Well said Bob. I could not agree more. There is real joy in giving and sharing your heart to someone, or others, especially to those who reciprocate in kind. Sounds like the living Body of Christ is found. They have the Spirit of the Kingdom within them!

Is the goal of authentic Christian faith to simply fulfill the basic criteria for entry into the Kingdom, as a future 'ticket to ride,' or is it to live presently, in the spirit of the Kingdom, as if we are already fully there?

When I first saw and heard a Japanese young man, born and raised, in Georgia, speaking and walking as a cowboy. That really threw me for a loop.

I'll give you an explanation as to why Moses hid his face... Moses had a very deep awareness of his own sinfulness and unworthiness in the presence of the holy God. This fear also tracks with the belief that no one can see God and live, as later affirmed in Exodus 33:20, reinforcing the idea...

Yes, but he pronounced it with two - 'ee' and an 'a.' Dr. He-a-ell from Appalachia. That's why the funny look.

Look who's talking. The Doc has a pepper addiction.

So that's what you drive. Typical librarian type car - boring.

Yep, An Aussie or Kiwi sheep dog for sure. The urban types have adapted to corralling people into corners, waiting for the shepherd to shear them of their locks

Disagree, not the Son of God at all, as he never existed off the plan of God yet. It was an angel as it says, the angel or messenger of God, the Father. The messenger spoke the word of God to Moses. And at John 1 :18: it's about Yeshua's state or close relationship in spirit with his Father...

Well this post and the subsequent post speak volumes on your reliance on 'church' theologians. I would get new advisers if I were you. You have made statements without any qualification or support. And reasonably, I would count them all as hear-say only. They cannot be reliable statements. So...

No, not to your first two questions. As for your final comment, it seems rather exaggerated. You must be referring to a different version of the Bible than I am.
