Actually, that is talking about the Holy Ghost, the spiritual body/Person of the Son and Father. And next it says that "He [the Holy Ghost] made Himself of no reputation .. in the form of man." THAT was Jesus. And "To whom will you liken me..." is the OT where there was no knowledge about the...

Where is this gospel given? It comes from the epistles, but the gospel of Jesus Christ comes from Acts. So I want to make some observations about this. 1) The gospel of grace is man's "reverse engineering" of the gospel of Jesus Christ. By that I mean, the gospel of grace is cobbled...

Sorry but it is a religion. Any gospel that avoids having a relationship with God .. that is based solely on faith of the person seeking redemption .. approaches God on its own terms. And the "gospel of grace" isn't the "gospel of Jesus Christ," either. The gospel of Jesus Christ is about...

This is the view of the Trinity called "modalism." The 3 Persons of the Trinity are understood to actually be one Person in 3 modes of existence — which discounts the view a) that they are 3 Persons and b) that they have a relationship in which one is subordinate to the other. It is clearly...

But, of course, Peter suggested that they build 3 booths as they would only if they thought what they saw was really happening. skypair

It seems that Stoney's words miss the point of the new covenant salvation. The way the believer overcomes sin is rather simple. It is by observing the "law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus." (Ro 8:2) According to that law (Mt 22:37-40), the Holy Ghost within us exudes the love of the...

It is God in Jesus body .. though I didn't find those verses particularly helpful. skypair

Yes, and what I find is that the "Spirit" of Christ is the knowledge about Him. That is what the Holy Spirit is. It is the Word of God (OT and NT) that reveals the truth about God — but it does not give understanding of God. That only comes from the Holy Ghost of Christ. So the knowledge of...

So you are saying that it really didn't happen that Jesus, Moses, and Elijah were there? Was it Jesus, then, that led them up the mount and led them down .. or was that a vision, too? Sure and sure, the power of the Holy Ghost. Do you believe that God has the power to make His kingdom appear...

We are really starting to go our separate ways here, 101G. In the case of the 3 shall not taste death till you see the kingdom, two of them are the same prophecy — and were fulfilled at the mount of transfiguration that immediately followed. There they saw Jesus, Moses, and Elijah in their...

Ah, good morning, 101G. :) Well, first paragraph .. the 7 spirits — I can see why you say what you do but I believe that, during the tribulation, the Spirit is going to be suppressed by the working of anti-Christ. I do believe in dual application but I'm not sure I would apply it here b/c the...

Yes, I kinda agree .. not as emphatically as other times. I'll have to take some time to consider this. :) skypair

So the 7 Spirits/7 eyes/7 horns (Rev 5:6) are related to the 7 seals on the scroll (Rev 6) which is the title deed to the earth. The meaning of the scroll relates back to Jer 32:6-12. There Jeremiah is told to buy the field from Hanameel so that when the Babylonians fall from power, he may...

Actually, pastoral gifts are not individual but to the church, 12:28 — "God has set some in the church…" 1Cor 12:4-6 outlines what the spiritual gift are. 1) diversities of gifts to individuals, 2) differences in administration within the worldwide body of Christ, and diversities of...

That's good. Actually the Holy Ghost of God is also the Holy Ghost/image of God in us. It's funny but I began thinking of the Holy Ghost as the spiritual image of God just like you said. That Eve idea is perfect. In fact, if you think about it, marriage is another "image" of the Godhead --...

Well, I think I explained above about "self-separation." I read the "bones" of this from a book titled "Two Views of the Trinity." In it, one of the contributors referenced Ted Peters and attributed a couple of ideas to him. 1) The "eschatological view" of the Trinity. It basically says...

The best image I have of the Godhead is the image of Him He created in us. As we are soul (Father), spirit (Holy Ghost), and body (Son) .. so we are soul, spirit, and body. And as with us — say at death — we are divisible, spirit from body. Or when we first believe but we are not saved, our...

Cool! Yes, Spirit = wisdom. I love that you see the Holy Spirit in Prov 8:22-36! That was where I first noticed it. So "His personification in flesh" was first as the Holy Ghost (God's soul, spirit, and body in heavenly form) and then as the Son of God in human form = intrinsic nature...

Well, you got this part right. :) skypair

Big problem there, Scott. We aren't saved by believing in the Bible. We are not even saved by believing the gospel -- that we are sinners and that Christ died for our sins. I know that some theologies believe that we are saved by simply believing the scriptures and the gospel but that isn't...
