So then you are convinced that our Lord is still in a corruptible, natural, earthly body. He has not changed in any way, which directly conflicts with what scripture states regarding the resurrected body. :huh: Being this really has nothing to do with demons lets just leave it here....

I will be clear a second time in stating Jesus surely was flesh and blood in His condition before His death. This was never denied...this is my attempt to stop this straw-man from evolving into the scare crow from the Wizard of Oz... Perhaps you need to read my response post #57...

Okay so I just finished a course on the history of the early Church. My final exam was to write a letter to a fictitious christian named "John" convincing him of the importance of studying the Early Church Fathers. (ECFs) In my modesty it is pretty convincing! :P I do see the study of the...

I concur with your sentiments of undermining the gospels, yet my statements align with the scriptures as posted. To say Jesus is currently flesh and bone only does not deny His eternal incarnation. I will be clear in stating Jesus surely was flesh and blood in His condition before His death...

I also believe angels can don bodies when interacting in our realm. The angels that met with Abraham ate food. But our Lord is flesh and bone, most likely not flesh and blood. Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and...

Truly I have no problems defending the goodness and kindness of God. One only needs to look to Jesus, and His atoning sacrifice to witness the mercy of God for all those who believe. God does not desire that any should perish, this is biblical. God displays loving kindness through the...

St. Anthony of Egypt...Early Church Father I have battled demons myself...

The will of the unredeemed is in bondage to sin...so it is not free. The will of the redeemed is the closest to being free yet the imputes is desire. One will choose their greatest desire at any given choice. So to be brief we have freedom of choice and we are culpable for our choices, yet...

No man is so evil as to be beyond redemption... Found this on my laptop dictionary. :D Here is something Jesus spoke about as being good... Matthew 19:17 And He said to him, "Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep...

The flesh is not sinful, Jesus who is/was without sin is now flesh and bone. The Lord looked at all He had created and called it very good. There is nothing sinful in the flesh per say, it is the fallen nature we inherited from Adam and we ware born into a fallen world. The divine Word took...

Did you read the post? Scripture is presented...

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. ​You seem to have topic training...the indoctrination of your cult leads one to believe the...

We are born into bondage, we are born again into bondage. Bondage to sin, then bondage to God. We have freedom of choice, yet we do not have a free will. When we choose we are bound to our desire...in such all our choices are lead by our greatest desire at that moment. The will of God is...

Can you explain yourself further? I know of this reference of the devil or adversary. Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Article 2. Whether the supreme good, God, is the cause of evil? Objection 1. It...

Well unfortunately you are mistaken because Morris is certain. Certain of the clear revelation of the human nature of Jesus given plainly by scripture. Certain of the divine nature plainly revealed earlier in the epistle he is expounding upon. Certain of his own humanity and inability to draw...

Old Jack gets a big Christian hug for himself! :D

The fact that he himself partook of the same nature sums up the perfect humanity of Jesus. When this statement is set over against the statements in chapter 1, about the divine Sonship of Jesus, the mystery deepens. His superiority to angels is set against his equality with man. There can never...

Revelation 20:2 And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, Satan is the devil...and the serpent of old...

This entire thread seems to read like "Can God create a boulder He can not lift?" The accepted view of the Church verifies Jesus' divinity. Those who do not accept the divinity of the Christ are not in the Church, they are in a cult. This was/is the teaching given and sustained by the...
