Great Post. Here's some data on the holy spirit... We have no evidence in the Bible that “the Holy Spirit” was ever used as a name because no one ever used it in a direct address. Many people spoke or prayed directly to God, starting out by saying “O Yahweh” (translated as “O LORD” in almost...

We are not on the same page. As far as I'm concerned I'm walking in the spirit and have the righteousness of God right now. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. You I believe are walking in your flesh and trying to...

Boy you got that right.

What's the verse in John 8 that says Jesus claimed to be God. No sense in me reading the chapter because I already know it's not there.

In my mind the 4 verses below fit perfectly. Every single person I know has told me about Romans 7 when I tell them I do not believe Paul taught about a "sin nature" for the Christian. What Paul talks about in the seventh chapter of Romans is what occurs to the believer who still thinks the Law...

I agree.

I agree with you. Here's my take... I believe God gave us a new nature when we are born again and that this is what the apostle Paul taught. Then where did this idea come from that we are still sinners by nature, and that the spirit of Christ makes our flesh spiritual, but still alive to sin...

I can only comment on one verse at a time so lets do your number 5. But our lives are not yet here on the earth in its full sinless state, but rather, hidden with Christ in heaven. (5) These verses speak about our time right now and not for some time into the future. We see this with...

Nobody wanted to stone Paul because he did not call himself God by saying I am and neither did Jesus.

I disagree. It's not the body, but the spirit that has become a new creature. In other words, it's in the spirit that we have become a brand-new species because our spirit is totally new and therefore there is not an old sin nature left in us. We undergo a miraculous exchange at the center of...

The New Testament epistles have words like "remission of sins" and "sins may be blotted out" and "the forgiveness of sins" and "wash away thy sins" and "whose sins are covered" and "impute sin" and "are dead to sin" and "condemned sin in the flesh" and "take away their sins" and "Christ died for...

Luke 9:23 does not say Jesus is God. I know you want it to be there, but it's not.

Here's some data on the word "logos" from John 1:1... It is imperative that the serious student of the Bible come to a basic understanding of logos, which is translated as "Word" in John 1:1. Most Trinitarians believe that the word logos refers directly to Jesus Christ, so in most versions of...

Perhaps you can explain these... 1 John 3 & 5 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin, for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. We know that whosoever is born...

I cut and pasted it from my own writing off of a Christian Facebook page that I put it on months ago so to get it on my email address and then I cut and pasted it from there to here. I did the same thing to my website today. I deleted what I wrote 25 years ago from the site but before I did I...

John is warning believers that some had infiltrated the Church with the false doctrine of Gnosticism. He addresses both genuine Christians and Gnostics in the same letter. The Gnostics claimed that a truly enlightened man would have a superior spiritual knowledge. In fact, the word "gnosis"...

The first Bible that you mention is the NIV and it does not support the Trinity in this verse... 1 Timothy 3:16 (NIV) Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the...

We can go through these verses but one at a time. John 1:10 first... My Bible does not say Jesus made the world. It says He was in the world, This verse is a reference to the Father, not to Christ. A study of the context reveals that this section opens in verse 6 by telling us, "There came a man...

To call yourself the son of God was in that culture and even today in America the same is understood. That you share and have rights in the house where the family lives. Even a son in America can say everything that his dad has is his also and the Jews saw that as making himself on the same...

I like it... "trinitarians know so much that isn’t true."
