    Has Jesus come in the spirit?

    The answer is: I don't know the answer to your question; except to say that Jesus will drink physical wine (of the sort that He drank at the Last Supper) new with us in the kingdom. I have heard it said that Jesus is made of flesh but that He has no blood any more for that it was all poured...

    If Perchance Catholicism Is Mistaken

    I was merely trying to comfort you by the knowledge that your brother may have indeed done what it takes to enter in to the kingdom; But if you don't want to believe that then by all means believe as you wish. I know someone in particular that does not want to believe that his father went to...

    Has Jesus come in the spirit?

    I confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh; and I confess also that He is come in the flesh (that He is a Man sitting on the right hand of the throne of God)...which apparently you deny. He is so coming back in like manner as He went up. He ate a piece of honeycomb and broiled fish; and...

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    Just as you don't see how I missed what you are saying, in the same manner I really don't see how you have missed what I am saying. The Father cannot be the same Person as the Son; for the Father (the One who inhabiteth eternity) does not dwell in flesh. He only dwells in flesh after He...

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    No; according to my belief, which is not theory, you, @Marymog, are a member of the church; which is His body. The quotes do not only say that Christ is the head of the church; but that the church is defined as the body of Christ (not just a building, the pillar and ground of the truth; but as...

    Has Jesus come in the spirit?

    It is specifically a quote from the Lord. If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into a ditch. I know that I am not in darkness to believe that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. If anyone is in darkness, it is those who subscribe to the gnostic belief on this matter.

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    Eph 5:23, For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. If He is your Saviour, then you are in the body. Col 1:18, And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all...

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    Hi @101G, I don't think that you have made your case that the Father is the Son. Jesus without flesh, here, I designate as the Father. So, is Jesus without flesh the same Person as Jesus with flesh? I would contend that Jesus with flesh is the same Person as Jesus without flesh; but that...

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    @Marymog, you are not the whole church... Therefore any member of the body of Christ will suffice for the thing that you are speaking about. I do believe that it is also speaking of those church elders who are over you, specifically, that would serve as judges in such a situation.

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    As I said before, the church is the body of Christ, composed of everyone who truly believes in Him (not mere theory, but scriptural truth). If that is not a good enough answer for you then I'm sorry. But I think if you will think more on the implications of what I am saying, you might have...

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    There is one Lord (Ephesians 4:5), even the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21) and the Son (1 Corinthians 8:6, 1 Corinthians 12:3). The Son is the Father (Isaiah 9:6); but the Father is not the Son (Isaiah 57:15, John 1:14).

    If Perchance Catholicism Is Mistaken

    It is indeed a sad prospect if your brother never called on the name of the Lord for salvation. However, I would say that you were not with him every moment of his life; and that therefore he may have done so in a moment that you were not present with him. Catholicism does preach salvation by...

    Has Jesus come in the spirit?

    There are flaws in what you are saying; but it appears that you have even convinced some people of your pov. I think that the Lord is telling me to simply let the blind be leaders of the blind.

    Are the Ecumenical Councils valid?

    1Co 12:20, But now are they many members, yet but one body. The one body, composed of many members, is the pillar and ground of the truth. It is one body composed of many members; each member being a member through faith in Jesus Christ of Nazareth and what He did for us on the Cross. We have...

    Has Jesus come in the spirit?

    I really never thought that I would have to deal with modern-day gnostics in my doctrinal battles. I really did think that that religion was dead. But, apparently, it is alive and well in the minds of some of the people on these boards. 1 John 4:1-3 and 2 John 1:7 is the test of whether...

    Has Jesus come in the spirit?

    The fact that I am looking for Him to come again in the flesh in no way means that I don't think He came in the flesh the first time! That should've been obvious. You should consider that Jesus will not drink of the fruit of the vine until He drinks it new with us in the kingdom. Also, John...
