Amen. Good analogy with the ark. It is exactly like that. Although Jesus is in heaven we can...as you say...by the Spirit be there because of Him. He is the ark of our lives. We do have Christ in us...as a seed waiting for us to die...be separated from our natural power...so that His life...

When you go to a department store there is a section where perfumes are sold (colognes if you're a man). There is a free trial bottle or swab where you can get a first tryout of the product. It is free. But if you want to own a bottle you have to dish out the money for it. The idea is that you...

Exactly related! :) Abide in Me and I in you.

There is a difference between a little boy being into airplanes...like he really digs them...and a person entering into an airplane to fly somewhere.

Sure. Getting back to the OP, we see the direction to go the extra mile as an encouragement to wisdom. Digging deeper. Is it any wonder in this fast food, instant gratification society we live in...that people get the bible wrong? People get half-baked because of impatience. People like their...

But we can still understand the idea. How many expressions when translated directly...have no meaning to us? In English when we can't speak properly we say... "I have a frog in my throat." If you translate that in a religious book...without understanding the term..you are going to have a...

I believe the bible to be the words from God. They are inspired by the Holy Ghost. But translations from the original languages are sometimes lacking in the original intent of the words...in order to try making sense to what they thought it meant. So we have to factor in that problem. Another...

I know some OP's have a rather dubious agenda filled with a lot of wanky ideas. To some, this might seem like such a post. But this is an important topic when you consider that the bible is written in a way that is unlike any other book. The bible is unique. As such we must compare the words...

Sometimes these posts...with the wanky ideas ...should not be called posts...but maybe "hot air". Just a sayin'

The church is visible...but the kingdom of God is not. Luke 17: 20 Some Pharisees asked Jesus when God's kingdom would come. He answered, "God's kingdom isn't something you can see.

"JesusIsFaithful, post: 433204, member: 6711"] Putting on Christ is hardly going to run against NOT preaching another Jesus as in another Holy Spirit to receive in scripture and so putting on Christ cannot mean what you say it means. Putting on Christ is something we enter into..not that...

A different language uses different rules. Hebrew has no indicator for singular like in English...using the letter "a" to denote there is "a" something or other. For example... In Hebrew "I see a man" is just "I see man" (ani roeh ish) So then it is better to say..."In beginning" or to begin...

"JesusIsFaithful, post: 433086, member: 6711"]Sorry. The horses are galloping away. Here is why. 2 Corinthians 11:1Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. 2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I...

Rejoice in the lord always. Do it as warfare....do it by faith. And the presence of God will come near.

I think it is rather easy considering how we tend towards lukewarmness unless we are active in our pursuits. Those who are at ease have ceased to watch and pray as they ought. Isn't it natural for water to become room temperature...or lukewarm. So we need to stay connected and vigorous in our...

Finally after going in and out of the Spirit...on that day...we will go out no more. Rev. 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem...

Jesus said... John 10: 9 "I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. If we enter into Christ we go in...but only the fully mature in Christ can remain...abide there. So then our Christian walk is to seek His kingdom and to abide in...

If we look at this verse from Rev. Rev. 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Why does John say this? Many people think they are always in the Spirit due to faulty teaching. But John obviously was not always in the Spirit. Otherwise he...

Hold your horses there pardner. There is quite the misunderstanding about the baptism in the Spirit. I personally don't use this way of saying it for some obvious reasons...being that we don't just have one filling of the Holy Spirit in our lives. At least I hope not! When we abide in Christ...

Amen. And this for all believers....not just ministers.
