    The Soul, the Aeolian Body, Death, the Mistranslation of the Word Spirit, and the Wind of God

    This reminds me of a blind man who denies anything exists beyond the tapping of his stick.

    The Soul, the Aeolian Body, Death, the Mistranslation of the Word Spirit, and the Wind of God

    A denial of the spiritual realm is a denial of God how He really is...and where He is. He is near to us...even in our hearts and mouths. A person who only understands material things denies that there is a spiritual world behind the physical things. Even modern scientists theorize that there...

    Heaven or Hell?

    The towns where Jesus preached and showed His signs and wonders....and His truth...Jesus says will fare worse than anyone else, even the worse of carnal sinners. Nineveh will rise up in judgment against these place. Mat. 12:41 The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation...

    The Soul, the Aeolian Body, Death, the Mistranslation of the Word Spirit, and the Wind of God

    "biloqewu, post: 433660, member: 7915"]God is represented by the things that were made, such as wind, which is invisible, which describes the invisibility of God. God is also described as consuming fire, to describe God as one who destroys. Yet God is not literally fire, nor literally wind...

    Christians That Hate Israel.

    This idea of "replacement theology" is propaganda. Unless one sees Jesus as a "self-hating Jew" as Zionists put it. But this is all based on a false labeling of things. 1: Modern "Israel" is not Israel...that is a misnomer meant to garner sympathy for a political cause. It should be called...

    Christians That Hate Israel.

    Is it possible to have compassion for people who suffer (as human beings) without hating they who make them suffer? It is obvious that the Palestinian authority is responsible for much of the suffering of oit's own people. But there is also the heavy handed responses of the Israeli government...

    The Soul, the Aeolian Body, Death, the Mistranslation of the Word Spirit, and the Wind of God

    So then God lives in this visible dimension? If that were so why can't we see Him? To deny spiritual things is to deny that invisible things exist. It takes spiritual faculties to see, hear, perceive spiritual things. Do you read the bible? 1 Cor. 2 :13 Which things also we speak, not in the...

    "Christians" Attacking and Slandering Christians What is more Pathetic??

    I'll bite. :) Hi Mary, I am not going to judge you. I see you have a point. But let's look at this from a different perspective. Does a fetus have a heartbeat? Yes. Is a fetus alive? Yes Has it drawn breath yet? No. I liken this to spiritual life. A person who is regenerated by the Spirit...

    The Catholic Church and sola scriptura

    ...and this at the expense of the Holy Spirit.

    The Soul, the Aeolian Body, Death, the Mistranslation of the Word Spirit, and the Wind of God

    Anybody with a dictionary knows that rouach also means wind. And the Hebrew word for "rain" also means "teach". But you have no spiritual insight into this. You are reacting to a word meaning that is meant to be an example...not the real deal. You have stopped far short of any kind of insight...

    “...and with his stripes we are healed.”

    "VictoryinJesus, post: 433628, member: 7369"]I’m still struggling here. In no way am I assuming you don’t see clearly, but ask your help in sight. You said “If they were visible they would be OUR stripes, wouldn't they?” The chastisement of our peace was upon Him...making us sons. If the flesh...

    The Soul, the Aeolian Body, Death, the Mistranslation of the Word Spirit, and the Wind of God

    The Japanese word KAMIKAZE translates "divine wind". Is this the spirit (wind) you are being influenced by?

    The Soul, the Aeolian Body, Death, the Mistranslation of the Word Spirit, and the Wind of God

    This is a silly notion. If there is no wind then God is absent? If there is a hurricane then God is angry? The bible also says I will rain righteousness down on you... Hos. 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD...

    The Soul, the Aeolian Body, Death, the Mistranslation of the Word Spirit, and the Wind of God

    Am I stubborn in comparison to your own teachability? Or is stubborn the adjective you use for they who see through the smoke and mirrors you are presenting here.

    “...and with his stripes we are healed.”

    Spiritual is inward. But we do put on Christ...although that is still inward. His stripes, of the spiritual kind, are invisible. If they were visible they would be OUR stripes, wouldn't they? I'm not saying that stripes received outwardly for His sake are not also His stripes. But how many of...

    “...and with his stripes we are healed.”

    "he was bruised for our iniquities" It was the religious men that hated Him so. We must be careful to not harbour iniquity in ourselves. This still "bruises" Him in that the Spirit is grieved when we turn religious and cease to look for Him in a living way. Religion seeks to kill what is...

    “...and with his stripes we are healed.”

    "the chastisement of our peace was upon him" We were looking for our own peace. But by doing that we opposed the will of God and HIS peace. We missed the perfect because who thought we were doing the good...and what was good for us. So then we wanted peace on OUR own terms. But God is wise and...

    “...and with his stripes we are healed.”

    Isaiah 53:5 [5] But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. How are we healed with His stripes? On a human level: We become ashamed of what we are capable of...our cruelty...our...

    The Greek εις

    Incredulous I see.

    The Greek εις

    The lost sheep of Israel includes Ephraim (not just Judah)...which is us! Jesus had 2 sheepfolds...and the 2 became one in Him. First the Jews...then us. And now both in one.
