the earth wasn't formed by the Holy Spirit, but by the word of God.

nobody, some simply don't understand.

you do know that gospel means good news, right?

who said that He emanated from anyone? Scripture says simply that He was born of a virgin and therefore flesh of her flesh, blood of her blood. That is what it means to be born and its been that way since the birth of Cain.

Well, we can only make judgments based upon what we know and what we've experienced in some manner, directly or indirectly. Story telling, especially when its complete with emotion and physical expression is just about the only way that we can imagine ourselves in someone else's experience and...

I wouldn't completely discount the notion of physicality in our resurrected bodies, as Christ demonstrated physical interaction with Thomas after His resurrection and at the shore of Galilee when he met with the disciples before His ascension. After all, God built us to have pleasure as well as...

no. We find the gospel in parts through the Old Testament and most clearly in chapter 53 of the book of Isaiah, but the Holy Spirit couldn't be given to indwell men permanently until after the redemption price was paid in our Lord's precious blood. We have a scriptural record of prophets...

According to Webster's dictionary a partaker is one who has a share or participates in, and that describes exactly what God did in Jesus Christ. We just haven't seen the end of it yet. Those that believe and receive Him are those that are renewed in the image of God, Jesus Himself, and are those...

well, actually He was speaking specifically about the lost sheep of Israel and that's clear from the gospel texts, but those same texts mention other sheep as well. Even at the time of Christ's passion He refused to meet with some Greeks who desired to know Him, because it wasn't the time for...

Jesus said that He was sent not that He simply came. He understood His "mission" according to all that was said of Him in the scriptures (old testament), and He said that the works that He did were those that the Father showed Him. In other words, He knew His purpose, He knew that His...

Some people understand the kingdom of heaven as coming down to earth for a thousand years, but with some role reversals or changes. The OT prophets describe things such as all the host of heaven being cast down to the earth. The host of heaven can refer to stars or it can refer to the angelic...

actually when Jesus spoke about preparing a place, He said that His Father's house has many chambers and this is sometimes mistranslated as mansions. This is insignificant by itself, however Noah's ark had many chambers to house the creatures saved through the judgment and we find Isaiah warnig...

SINCE IT IS GOD ALONE WHO SAVES (according to scripture) are you equating the church with God or are you equating the work of the Holy Spirit with the church? The body of Christ continues to do the work of God, but it is not the source of the Holy Spirit, who is God the Spirit or God with us...

How can a generation that doesn't understand marriage ever understand God's relationship with His bride?

Christian Apologetics is the defense of Christian doctrine, but the term doesn't even hold true across denominations that call themselves Christian. When you get down to eternal considerations, its the proclamation of the gospel that has real power to save, while self justification of belief is...

the only folks confusing the spiritual with the physical are the carnal. The only thing which renews the mind, which makes our thoughts spiritual rather than carnal, is the word of God and time. There's no getting around time when it comes to mature thought.

The great commission is the directive or mission of the church from the mouth of God, to preach the gospel to all nations, to baptize believers in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and to make disciples of all men teaching them everywhere to obey all the things Jesus...

The Holy Spirit has been given out continuously like a river from the throne room of God since the day of Pentecost to all who would believe and receive Christ by faith: 15. "I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. 16. "They...

you cant measure eternity in percentages. Thats whats called mathematical nonsense.

Just finished book 2 of the psalms and was surprised to find that most of David's imprecatory psalms were about Christ's return and the judgment of those who reject Him.
