Hi again K9Buck. That's actually a Frequently Asked Question, and some Gnostic and Occultic belief systems incorporate the pre-existence of souls, human or non-human, in their corpus of doctrines, but I find such a notion incompatible with Scripture. Man does not become a living soul until...

Yes, the Original Creative Dynamic is God, but the Progressive Creative Dynamic has the capacity to exercise volition. The Bible is adequate in its description of pride as the catalyst for rebellion against God, so we can deduce that God in His wisdom considers it necessary to both allow and...

Hi Amazed@grace. Now there's a question to occupy ourselves with. My first response is to state that I believe because evil is possible it is also inevitable. In his infinite wisdom God has allowed opposition to His Will to arise. Knowledge of good and evil was only experienced by the first...

Mat 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. My experience and awareness of evil might be different from others, but all of us in the Mutual Faith Community of Christ the Redeemer have one thing in...

The Parable of the Sower is a beautiful and concise explanation of the spiritual life and growth that occurs when the activity of God's Word is unresisted. First God's Word must be sown. Mar 4:14 The sower sows the word. A heart that was once resistent to the Word of God becomes aware of the...

I believe the spirit was required for the soul to become living . . .

I am a spirit. I have a soul. I live in a body. Any objections?

Hi K9 Buck, Here are some Scriptures and notes for your edification. The Coming of the Lord 1Th 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and...

Does that come in a bottle or a carton?

Mat 27:52-53 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, (53) And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. plus Heb 12:1-2 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of...

The Devil plays for any team that will allow him to corrupt, deceive, and exploit. Seem familiar . . .?

Christ was not always God incarnate, not always the Word made flesh to dwell amongst humankind as a man.

Some cults have a thing about celibacy. I am convinced Mary went on to give birth to other children after she gave birth to Jesus. Mat 12:46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. Mat 13:55-56 Is not this the...

OK. I'll let you off with a warning. :)

When did I suggest God's Plan was for eternal conflict? I forgive your man of straw and exhort you to be more observant before entering into conflict. Here is my initial statement which speaks of the RESOLUTION TO ALL CONFLICT, which Christ always is. Mat 10:34-39 Think not that I am come to...

Well it's not a theory but a solid Biblical truth. Christians are instructed to be in conflict with the devil and his cohort who are in conflict with God and His People. Eph 6:11-12 Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (12) For we...

Conflict. From cover to cover the main theme of the Bible is conflict between God and those who oppose Him, the resolution of which is epitomised in Christ crucified, resurrected, and ascended to heaven.

Sigh, another one not into satire, or emoticons it seems . . .:(

So He can exercise His Judgment and Wrath on those who perpetrate it, and bestow His Glory, Kindness and Mercy on those who do His Will. Rom 9:22-24 What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for...
