Please explain a human spirit body? While clothed in human flesh, Christ indicates He was not a spirit body as you assume, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones as He had. Luke 24:36-39 (KJV) And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them...

Christ forgave our sin when He gave His life to atone for sin. Water gets us wet, and by submitting to the ordinance of water baptism believers acknowledge they are no longer of this world, and have been separated from the world. We received the Holy Spirit when we were born again. The...

I agree, faith is not the gift. Salvation is the gift of eternal life for all who believe in Christ. How do those who are spiritually dead in trespasses and sins believe in Christ....wait for it, by grace through faith (((the gift of God))) that no man may boast. The faith we receive to...

Yes, I understand what you think it means. I don't agree the context agrees with your pov.

Colossians 2:10-12 (KJV) And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein...

Not exactly! Faith comes as the gift of salvation which is by grace through faith! Faith to believe Christ is not something mankind in unbelief possesses, which is why we must be born again.

It's not simply a question of being dead, it's a question of what it means to be dead in trespasses and sins. That is vastly different than simply being ordained to physical death. How is "you" (all of us) "who were dead in trespasses and sins" dead, yet made alive (quickened) through Christ's...

I agree with much of what you've said here, but a question comes to mind. From where can faith to believe Christ for eternal life come from for those who are "dead in trespasses and sins"?

According to you not according to the Apostle Paul who clearly says all people of faith, whether they be Jew or Gentile are the Israel of God. Not an ethnic people, but the people of God.

How can Paul be speaking of an ethnic people when saying all Israel shall be saved, since they are only saved through Gentiles grafted in together with them? That makes "all Israel" all people of faith, not the ethnic nation called Israel. Paul is speaking of the Israel of God that is both Jew...

Yes, Paul is indeed speaking of how believers shall be raised after they have physically died. But what you miss is that Paul is speaking not only of our physical resurrection that shall come when the last trumpet sounds, he also tells us that believers shall at the moment of death depart from...

Yes, I agree His disciples were "this generation" that shall not pass until all these things shall come to pass. They are the beginning of a "chosen generation" and holy nation, the people of God. 1 Peter 2:9-10 (KJV) But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a...

The fig tree symbolizing Israel in unbelief is pretty commonly accepted throughout Christendom. The nation of Israel in unbelief was cursed forever and would never again have life....EXCEPT for the remnant saved according to election of grace. That remnant that was in unbelief when Christ...

How is 1948 when Israel was permitted to return to their homeland proof of life beginning to be seen on the fig tree? Since the fig tree symbolizes Israel in unbelief, why is there no evidence of them beginning to grow in 1948? Surely you don't believe the parable of the fig tree was a symbol...

Yes, which is why Christ says, His Kingdom is NOT now of this world but is within you. IOW Christ ushered in His Kingdom that is not now physical and shall never be on this earth, because His Kingdom is known and entered when we are born again of His Spirit within us. Christ wants us to...

Globalists! Those whose main goal is to bring down the American way of life.

Rather than answer all of your previous reply point by point, I hope you don't mind if I try to explain what I believe the Bible teaches us about our spirit from another path. It seems that our differences in understanding spiritual life may be what is dividing us. First, I don't believe the...

Look up the definition of "breath of life." You'll discover our breath of life is the spirit in mankind. God formed man from the dust of the earth, and breathed into him the breath of life and man became a living soul. That equals body + spirit = living soul. The breath is our intellect...

When reading the description of all that follows with the opening of each seal its hard to imagine they do not represent what has come to pass, what is coming to pass and what shall come to pass since the fall of mankind at creation. For instance it would be hard to prove the seals representing...

I believe the parable of the fig tree beginning to show signs of life began to occur when some of Israel in unbelief heard the message of the Gospel, and by grace through faith believed in Christ for eternal life. The parable was given that the disciples might know that the Kingdom of God was...
