    Was Jesus a spirit being before coming to earth as a human?

    I might be able to help here? For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. There, you see, the Messiah is supposed to be God. Wrong! If we take a closer...

    Jesus Is God: Part 2

    Pay Attention... Going to teach you something about your beliefs... Now to the second phrase in Philippians 2 that causes a difficulty. It is the one that says Jesus Christ "did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself (v. 6-7). It is unfortunate that the Old...

    The Finger of God

    Here is a brief post that lists the actual law with the penalties for breaking the law. It is quite interesting. part 2 ... THE JUSTINIAN CODE The Council of Nicaea is best remembered for its introduction of the first version of the Nicaean Creed, which was written in an attempt to resolve...

    The Finger of God

    Part 1 Many Christians are not aware that The Holy Spirit was missing from the Trinty doctrine for many many years before it's final development! Yep, totally ignored God's finger Jesus used so well !!! 325 AD - Constantine convenes the Council of Nicaea in order to develop a statement of...

    Jesus Is God: Part 2

    Did you even read my post??? On the authority of Jesus himself we know that the categories of "flesh" and "spirit" are never to be confused or intermingled, though the course of God's Spirit can impact our world. Jesus said, "That which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the...

    To get the most from your Bible reading:

    I understand... I was trying to show that we should pray for God's will to be done... even if we don't want his will to be so.... Mat 26:39 And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will...

    Is it true that the people have destiny? yes and that is to be a servant

    You should read my post again... all whom enter the 1000 year reign are chosen of God by Lot!!! Your getting confused by the pagan idea that the wages of Sin is eternal torment (Hell) and not actual death. Jesus died for your sins... He did not spend eternity for them in torment!! I know, You...

    Jesus Is God: Part 2

    It was not the Spirit of Christ that visited you... Let Jesus tell you who He is.... (John 8:40) "But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do. Joh 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the...

    Is it true that the people have destiny? yes and that is to be a servant

    Deu 30:19 "I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is...

    To get the most from your Bible reading:

    We can't help putting our worldview in scripture as we read... for example take the Lords prayer... Jesus said pray in this way... Mat 6:9 "Pray, then, in this way: 'Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 'Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. 'Give...

    Sins and "Cheating" to become Sinless

    Depends on how you define Sin... To sin can be simply missing the mark! Gen 39:9 "There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing, from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil and sin H2398 against God?" H2398 ֶחְטָאה...

    "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved”

    In most modern church services, a layman keeps his mouth shut! He sits and he listens. You have nothing to do with it except sit there and listen or to take a little wafer in your mouth or perform traditional rituals en masse. You are there as a recipient. You are not there to give anything. In...

    The Finger of God

    When reading in Exodus awhile back, I came upon the phrase "the finger of God." I was aware that the same phrase was used in the book of Luke regarding the method Jesus uses to cast out demons. I decided to do a phrase study using e-Sword. The following information is from my research. Exo 8:19...

    The Trinity

    No, In fact it might be just the opposite? Joh 17:3 "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. Jesus calls himself "a man" (John 8:40) "But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from...

    Jesus Is God: Part 2

    John 20: 28 My Lord and my God. There you go, an Apostle refers to Jesus as God. When you look at some verses in the Old and New Testament you have to remember to look at them with a Hebrew or Greek mind of that period, and not a 20th century mind. Some language can mean something to us that...

    The Trinity

    Matthew 28: 19 Baptize them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. The New American Bible says: "This is perhaps the clearest expression in the New Testament of Trinitarian belief." In a few seconds you will see how preposterous this statement really is. This...

    The Transfiguration of Jesus (Mark 9:1-13)

    Net Bible commentary Mar 9:2 - 5 tn Grk "And after six days." 6 sn In 1st century Judaism and in the NT, there was the belief that the righteous get new, glorified bodies in order to enter heaven (1Co_15:42-49; 2Co_5:1-10). This transformation means the righteous will share the glory of God...

    Times Jesus contradicted/"override" the Old Testament

    Part 2 The Vast Differences between the Patriarchal and Mosaic Legal Systems · Under the Abrahamic covenant, God allowed his people to offer sacrifices anywhere they pleased (Genesis 12:7, 35:1; Job 1:5). Moses changed this law by commanding only the family of Aaron to attend to the...
