You don't accept the scripture in question (John 8:24) at face value.

Meaty...

I do know fantasy from reality; however you do not believe my testimony about something that really did happen in my life; that I did indeed live out something that I had seen in a movie many years earlier; and this happened more than once. I suppose that Jesus also made some far-fetched...

I do. Maybe the Lord just hasn't given you the proper insight into what these verses mean. He made it as clear as day to me. I would suggest that you ask the Holy Spirit for illumination.

I think that I'm not going to be able to explain it to you adequately; you need the illumination of the Holy Spirit to help you with these doctrines. I would suggest asking the Lord to give you the understanding that you need.

Every man in this world is composed of spirit and soul and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

For the sake of conversation, let us consider John 5:18.

Does not the name "I AM" have a Hebrew meaning, out of Exodus 3:14? See John 8:58. Jesus breaks normal grammatical usage to make a claim here. The scribes and Pharisees understood His claim. They picked up stones to stone Jesus for blasphemy (John 8:59, John 10:31-33). Previous to that...

He shifted out of eternity into time...and in doing so He did not cease to dwell in eternity.

The Father, being an eternal Spirit who inhabits eternity, cannot cease to dwell in eternity as an eternal Spirit; not even when He descended to become the Son, taking on an added nature of human flesh. So, He both went forward to become the Son, and remained behind in eternity to rule and...

Hi @April_Rose, What helps me most when I know that I have sinned, is the following doctrines. We are not under the law (Romans 6:14), are dead to the law (Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19) and are delivered from the law (Romans 7:6) as concerning condemnation. Where there is no law (where it does...

I have never said such things. My position is that God, who is Spirit, became a Man (John 1:1-3, John 1:14).

I think you misunderstand me. A man who has indwelling sin does not necessarily desire to sin. For the element of sin can be rendered dead within him (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8). That means that the desire for sin has been put to death; it no longer has any sway over the person's...

In that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are the same Person (same Spirit, same Lord, same God, 1 Corinthians 12:4-6); but that the distinction only exists in the incarnation and death of Jesus Christ. That the Son is distinct from the Father in that He is in the flesh. And the Holy Ghost is...

Some things we may not understand until we get there and have the opportunity to ask Him in person. While I do not put it past the realm of possibility that someone on earth may have meditated on this scripture and therefore will be able to provide an answer.

If you find that you have sinned, just realize that you have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. Confessing your sin will immediately absolve you of guilt.

See 1 John 1:7. Whether or not you know whether you have sinned in any given instance or not is based on whether or not you have been or are walking in the light. If you are in the light, the Holy Spirit will pinpoint sin in your life so that you can confess it and not only be forgiven but...

One might boast in what the Lord has done in his life in terms of the holiness that the Lord has produced in his life. And that might be misconstrued by the overly judgmental as boasting in one's self. You should take a closer look at Luke 8:12-13. In verse 12, it shows that the faith being...

Before Him no God was formed; and after Him there will be none.

Indeed, see Romans 3:27, 8:2... Rom 3:27, Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Rom 8:2, For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Nope; for Galatians 3:10 is not speaking of every...
