Yes, I remember seeing the numbers on the WHO website of normal flu simply put over into a new column called Covid 19, like no one got the flu that year. Just crazy manipulation and lying! Get well! :praying:

No, that is not the biblical position. The bible speaks of the flesh, and "the spirit of man" within, and the consciousness, and the mind, not as "that body" that comes from being "born again." It literally says that it is not even us "who live, but Christ who lives in" us. The mind is...

If you claim and hang on to the idea of "that body" is to be saved, rather than sown in death--discarded and laid down--you are holding to the law which cannot save. Jesus did not come to save the flesh, but to give us new life in the spirit of God. As even Moses said, "I have set before you...

No, Paul, is not talking about "that" body of flesh--"you do not sow that body that shall be" (1 Corinthians 15:37).

Point by point. Paul's conscience was clear--not because his flesh was free from the condemnation of sin and death--but because he had a renewing of his mind considering the promise given to that new man of Spirit newborn within him, which meant gain rather than loss.

Because he struggled. That too was his witness. You need to take it all into account.

@Ziggy - Thanks for the reminder! Just today someone I talked with claimed to have recently gotten covid and that the pharmacy had called before about here getting another shot, and she told them no, but regretted it because she got covid. All that is still happening in spite of all the...

You make some good points, but do remember the crowd also turned against Jesus, yelling "Crucify him!" Then you make a peculiar statement and claim that "Jesus doesn't appear to have a conservative bone in his body." That sounds like a personal bias. Extreme personal bias. Jesus was indeed...

This is a great parable given by God to all who would hear the story, lived out in the lives of his chosen. In this way, Israel was and is "a light unto the gentiles" (every nation and people). The story is a word picture of all of God's people. Not showing only one favored son, but two. And...

The would-be contradiction exists because many believe that our works are required--which is not required. But what is required are Jesus'/God's works--not ours.

The reference to "patience" is that of waiting--perhaps for a lifetime--which is allotted to us all for our salvation. Because this life of suffering is unto our death, appointed to us for having been born of the lineage of sin since Adam. Which indeed takes patience to endure. The promise of...

I see that the issue you are referring to is of "willfully sinning." But Paul was simply elaborating the elements of the struggle between the laws of sin and death, compared with being in Christ where we have been inwardly set free from the law against the flesh. Meaning, no, he is not saying...

No, sorry, I should have looked further and saw that you were referring to Galatians 5 "17." I was addressing the matter in summary. In Galatians 5:17 however, no, that is different. Paul is referring to the cause of the fall "that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were...

You brought up supernatural [with me] when I referred to your claims in your first post, when I brought God into the matter to give you the actual truth rather than your hypothesis stated there. As for your claims, if you state something other than what is true, it is indeed "belief" rather...

1 Thessalonians 5:23 is referring to the unique status of those who believe in and follow Christ, and become born again of the spirit of God, which Paul only eluded to in 1 Thessalonians 4:15, saying, "we who are alive and remain" (alive in God, but remaining in the flesh and in this world in...

You were trying to impose your Source beliefs as being reality. You brought up "supernatural" when I referred to God. You had a problem with "supernatural." I looked up "supernatural" in the dictionary online and the definition was close enough apply to God. There should be no issue with the...

This is all good except for the claim "Now between the spirit and the soul we know that the spirit is our mind." The scriptures speak of our mind as anything from "vexed", "double-minded", "spiteful", even "debased", "evil", and in need of "renewing." The scriptures do refer to "the spirit of...

You didn't use the "Reply" feature, so I missed this one. Again, "supernatural" is a term you brought up, not me. As for me talking down at you--you dug a hole and have placed yourself in a pit. Lower. You did that. Not me. Which I actually jumped into with you to start with (I even...

You keep going back to supernaturalism...which was something you brought up, not me. You asked a question. I answered, saying that "supernatural" was not incorrect, as God does by definition "exist outside the known laws of nature." If you are not happy with that definition, it's not my...

You contrast what you and the closed-circuit knowledge of those knowing nothing beyond this universe know, against what others know, and yes, by a longstanding record of eyewitnesses, it is established. Which is not limited except by those who do not know more, or those who self-limit short of...
