To be born again IS baptism of the Holy Spirit! When we believe in Christ it is through the power of the Spirit coming in us and giving us a new heart/spirit by grace through faith. Without the power of the Gospel and Spirit none would be eternally saved.

While in agreement I believe there is even more to understand about how humans might enter into the Kingdom of God. Because we don't enter the Kingdom of God physically, but spiritually. Nicodemus couldn't understand because he, like most of the Jews were looking for the Messiah to come in a...

The eternal life we shall have physically on the new earth in the age to come is ours spiritually NOW through His Spirit in us. Because when we have the Spirit of Christ in us we NEVER die. John 11:26 (KJV) And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? We...

But only the siblings of Jesus would have been those "in his own house." I'm not disputing that Jesus often called those of faith brethren and sisters. That much is true, as you've clearly proven from the Bible. What I dispute is you bringing assumption into the Word without proving what you...

Why, since I don't believe you have proven or can prove your main assumption? Can you bring to the discussion any passage or verse that would give credibility to the opinion that Joseph may have been widowed with children before he married Mary?

Again, our spirit alive returns to immortal physical bodies, not the mortal bodies we have now. Because our spirit with the Spirit of Christ is not immortal but eternal, and how our changed immortal bodies have the breath of life so we can once again be complete living soul.

Freedm, immortality is for physical life, not spiritual life. Of course, we want immortal physical bodies alive through our eternal spirit. In this way we shall be whole, or complete living soul once again as we were in the beginning when God created man. Our spirit is NEVER said to become...

I agree, but we have to remember the only part of man that has eternal life when he/she is born again is spirit! We will not have immortal & incorruptible physical life again after death until our body too is resurrected and made alive again through our eternal spirit that returns with Christ.

Unless you have something from Scripture, then no, we cannot ASSUME Joseph might have been an older man. That would be trying to force Scripture to fit our assumptions.

Yes, I believe I rightly heard the question asked. Which is why I answered 'no', because I do not believe Joseph was married and widowed with children before marrying Mary, because there is nothing in Scripture that says or even suggests it.

One more thought comes to mind. Both Mary and Joseph were young, do you really believe Joseph could have been married even earlier in his youth, long enough for him to father all these children?

Because there is not a single verse or passage found in Scripture to corroborate this assumption. You're arguing from Biblical silence!

The physical resurrection of ALL the dead shall be in an hour coming when the last trumpet sounds. It's not only the faithful who shall be physically resurrected it is ALL who are in the graves. IOW ALL the dead. See Jo 5:28-29 and 1Cor 15:51-54

No!

If your physical body does not possess the breath of life (spirit) it remains without physical life. Once again man was created with a body + breath of life (spirit) and together he/she became a living soul. When the spirit (breath of life) departs from our physical body, the body returns to...

Mark writes they were not only biologically half brothers and sisters, with Mary being their mother, they were "in his own house." This leaves little doubt that Mary mothered sons and daughters after Jesus. Mark 6:3-4 (KJV) Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James...

From Old the first coming of the promised Messiah is what the prophets foretell would come. Christ has already made His appearance, just as the prophets foretell He would, at His first coming to earth a man. The second coming of the Lord shall be when the seventh trumpet sounds that time shall...

You're giving us your opinion for what you think Rev & Eze means. It is not beneficial to receive your opinion without proving what you assume through the Bible. You seem to simply be guessing and have given no reason for anyone to accept your guesses as eschatological truths. Please explain...

You've failed to respond to anything I said! What is your point here???

Ewq in reply #453 you said the breath of life and spirit are the same thing, and that "part of us does not stay in the dead body but returns". Now you argue we are one body at a time? Are we not two-part body & spirit as a living soul before our body dies? Is it not the spirit that leaves our...
