God is a person, without a body. The Holy Spirit is God, a person, without a body. Christians who die, do not have a body and ascend into heaven, exist, are conscious. This is common Christian theology. Where did you get yours? In Acts 7:59 - Stephen is about to be disembodied and ascend into...

Excellent question. Not I. In my church that I received most of my knowledge and growth, we believed and practiced spiritual gifts. Several prayed in tongues. They called it a prayer language. It wasn't something you could learn in school, earthly. It was not from this world, an angelic/heavenly...

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it; 26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, 27 that he might present the church to himself a glorious [church], not having spot or wrinkle or any such...

What do you mean by natural spirit. I think of nature as physical and heaven as spiritual. Nature as in character, okay, invisible spiritual attributes that are manifest in reality. When they sinned, they were naked! Exposed, in shame and God could no longer walk with them as He did before. He...

The Bible gateway.com offers about 60 translations (one verse at a time) that you can scroll down and examine. But as I said, it was two-fold death, a physical long term dying death of cells, a distorting of the genetic code, corrupting and creating all sorts of illnesses in all living things...

I just read through over 50 English translations of that verse and most all say "on that day" or "in that day" "you will surely die". A few did not say day at all. None of them say "in dying ..." Even so, physically, in dying, we die, whether itnis in one day or a lifetime. Spiritually, death...

Something changed (died) on that day. Something that the animals did not have, a spirit. Animals have souls but not spirits. Where do you think Hid dwells in us. Je dwells in a place that is separate from sin, which dwells in the members of our flesh. Are flesh is not kust our body, but also our...

So you are comparing me to a JW? I said some points were conjecture, not doctrine, just spit balling. But nothing in my post is Biblical? Sorry, I can roll up my sleeves and give you scriptures? Specifically which points - if you want go at it? 1. Spirits in this passage are not necessarily...

Have to disagree with that one. God said, "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” Gen. 2:17 They didn't physically die that day, although...

Excellent. You made several keen observations about 1 Pet. 3:18-23. That is a difficult and mysterious passage to figure. Spirits in this passage are not necessarily departed humans. 1. One view held by John MacArthur ( which I now do not agree with) is that the reference to spirits is fallen...

Light was created on the 1st day and the sun, moon and stars on the 4th. Why bring up a hill to die on, which is another topic? But whatever hill you die on, it will be during the day, when the sun is out, or at night, when the moon is shining and it will be on ONE DAY. You are dismissive ...

I like it! It is not under my control, it is given selectively, in a timely way, when it is needed by the Holy Spirit, Who decides when we need it. I notice you are trying painfully to ignore all the detailed characteristics and attributes that so define God in the Holy Spirit. "... But to...

Really? The creation account describes not only LIGHT being created to give light for the day, separating from the darkness but also the sun and moon giving light for the morning and the night to complete _ ONE _ 24-hour day. "Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God...

Everything that is good is a gift from God. Manifestation merely means the powers and abilities from God manifested onto us. They are gifts, scripture confirms it. Faith is a gift, a fundamental truth, by which we become Christians. There are many spiritual gifts. Some have several and some have...

The soul becomes immortal when we are born again. Christs gives us eternal life. Non-believers are not given eternal life. They will be destroyed in tue Lake of Fire. Destroy means to put an end to. You cannot destroy something for eternity. That would be an indestructible destruction, a...

"Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away." Rev. 21:1

Don't want to repeat myself over and over. You don't accept Genesis literally ... then turn on your spiritual attenna and have at it. Not much much more I can say.

You aren't Johnny Apple Seed ... No. I was just making a point that one can try to look for symbolic spiritual meanings when the text just is trying to convey something literal and physical as in the creation account. He will destroy this earth and create a new one that is perfect. You can't put...

The Potter makes vessels, some for good and some for evil - accept it or not. Some people are cracked pots that will never heal - but serve a purpose ... to glorify Him. Yes the word form can be applied to everything but everything is not contained in one sentence. But you can try to fit it in...

Christ did not come til long agter creation. The light in Genesis is tye light that we see, composed of waves, particles, a color spectrum- very complex, so much so that scientists are not quite sure about it. God was just making a point that man did not know, wasn't wise, and so in expressing...
