    The Resurrection

    The Greek word pneuʹma (spirit) comes from pneʹo, meaning “breathe or blow,” and the Hebrew ruʹach (spirit) is believed to come from a root having the same meaning. Ruʹach and pneuʹma, then, basically mean “breath” but have extended meanings beyond that basic sense. (Compare Hab 2:19; Re 13:15.)...

    The Resurrection

    The scriptures are very clear that we are Souls not that we have Souls. The scriptures also show us that the Spirit in man is the same spirit that's in animals.

    Are Some Unable To Be Renewed To Repentance?

    You behold that [Abraham’s] faith worked along with his works and by his works his faith was perfected.”—JAMES 2:22. MANY say that they have faith in God. Yet, mere professed faith is as lifeless as a corpse. “Faith, if it does not have works, is dead in itself,” wrote the disciple James. He...

    Are Some Unable To Be Renewed To Repentance?

    We are to have faith like Abraham. Abraham was considered righteous because of his faith working along with his works. The scriptures show that Abraham was obedient to God because of the love he had for the True God. In other words when The True God commanded or told Abraham to do something...

    Are Some Unable To Be Renewed To Repentance?

    I think when the scriptures are talking about individuals who can't be forgiven, those scriptures are mostly focused on the attitude of such individuals. Their heart condition and their willful choice to not change. The Pharisees as a class was an organization that belonged to Satan the...

    2 Thessalonians 2:7

    The 12 Apostles mostly. The apostles had the authority to keep the congregation subject to Christ; but they, who acted as a restraint upon lawless action in the congregation, would be taken away in death and then the congregation would fall away to lawlessness and false teachings. (2 Cor...

    No-one has gone to heaven?

    What, something wrong withh the definition of Hebrew and Greek words and how they're used in the scriptures? See when you read the scriptures you have to do research in the scriptures to see how the scriptures themselves make use of such words as spirit and soul etc. You against that, are you...

    No-one has gone to heaven?

    Paul Chritensen said: Do you really believe that the human brain, which is a collection of molecules, has the ability to reason and express emotion? Are you saying that the mind and the brain are the same thing?[/Quote\] Yes Paul, I believe that The True God created us with a brain that can...

    No-one has gone to heaven?

    SPIRIT: The Hebrew word ruʹach and the Greek word pneuʹma, often translated “spirit,” have a number of meanings. All of them refer to that which is invisible to human sight and gives evidence of force in motion. The Hebrew and Greek words are used with reference to (1) wind, (2) the active...

    No-one has gone to heaven?

    You believing that way is stating that the person who is Jesus didn't die, not only that you're saying there is no death. What you're talking about concerning that thief the scriptures wasn't saying that the thief would be with Jesus in paradise that exact day that Jesus was put to death because...

    Defending Homosexuality

    We have to understand that the world we're living in today, is the wicked world of mankind that has Satan as it's God. So yes things are going to get worse as time goes on. What is actually good and Holy belonging to the True God will be thought of as belonging to Satan and therefore unholy and...

    Defending Homosexuality

    Like I said the SCRIPTURES, which are inspired by God, meaning this is what God is saying, those who practice all forms of sexual immorality, which include homosexuality will be some among mankind who will not inherit God's kingdom. God isn't going to change his word for anyone. He wasn't wrong...

    Defending Homosexuality

    Nothing wrong with speaking out against all forms of sexual immorality. The scriptures tell us that those who practice all forms of sexual immorality which includes homosexuality will not inherit the kingdom of God. Since the scriptures say that and the scriptures are inspired by God, then God...

    Defending Homosexuality

    The True God stated that such people who were practicing sexual immorality which includes homosexuality, were to be put to death when he was dealing with the nation of Israel. Now we don't live by the law covenant today but that doesn't mean that the way he views such sins has changed, he still...

    Defending Homosexuality

    Well think about this, The True God gave the Law Covenant and in that covenant, which had more than 10 commands it was stated that anyone caught in adultery should be put to death, both the man and the woman. These people were born with the sinful nature yet the law covenant was clear of those...

    The biblical truth is a dialectical equation

    At Romans 3:9-18, the apostle Paul describes how far humans have fallen from original perfection. After stating that all are under sin, Paul quotes from the Psalms, saying: “There is not a righteous man, not even one.” (See Psalm 14:1.) Then he provides details by citing such things as mankind’s...

    What is the purpose of being born in bodies of earthly flesh?

    Giuliano said: I think there is a clue there about why God made man. If God is Love, we can see that surely God would not be content to be alone.[/Quote\] I agree that God loved life so much he wanted to share life with others so he began creating, thus creation, spiritual and then physical...

    What is the purpose of being born in bodies of earthly flesh?

    When God commanded Adam to not eat of the forbidden fruit, Adam was perfectly capable of obeying that command, God wouldn't have commanded him otherwise. God doesn't command us to do something that's impossible for us to do. The fact that Adam or Eve didn't love God enough to exercise faith in...

    What is the purpose of being born in bodies of earthly flesh?

    Giuliani says: What is the point of having bodies of flesh? Why did God form Adam from the dust outside[/Quote\] You and others think maybe that God loved Adam and Eve who were fleshy beings(humans)so much that he wanted humans living on a paradise planet earth for eternity without dying...
