God would have to be essence. He certainly is not physical. Does He have substance? Any material that possesses physical properties is called a substance. The word also refers to the gist or main idea of something. Jesus has substance. Does He STILL possess substance? Too much for my tiny brain.

Well Lambano, I'm not sure I really understand the difference between essence and substance in this regard. I haven't taken any philosophy classes but, yeah, I'm trusting the Apostles for everything. Some may think they're trusting Jesus... but He's presented to us by the Apostles... so who are...

Hmmm. Explain each term please. (I'm thinking it could be both...not sure).

If we're alive! But you know very well that flesh means the sin nature. We're not supposed to be IN THE FLESH....IN THE SIN NATURE. The goal is to dominate it. (as much as possible).

Lambano...the Trinity was not easy for me to understand. I just accepted that this is what the early church taught... That would be Jesus, all the writers, which would be Paul, the Apostles, and those that the Apostles taught also referred to Jesus as God. At some point I really understood it...

Oh the wonders of the Godhead/Trinity!! Which some "Christians" refuse to accept. God is infinite Wrangler. Do YOU truly pretend to understand Him in all ways? Could an ant understand a human person? It's about the same...if not worse. John 1:1 states that something called WORD was with God...

Since when is the dictionary used to explain a spiritual truth? Please find out what a PERSONS is as is found in the Trinity. The following is from Gemini. However the internet ABOUNDS in explanations of Personhood in the Trinity. In the Christian Trinity, a "Person" isn't a human individual...

Nice that you listed some verses. How about posting scripture instead? This is how it's done: YOU make a statement. YOU post the scripture that supports that statement. For instance,,,you LISTED Matthew 24 and Matthew 25. HOW does any verse in 24 or 25 prove that Jesus is coming back TWO...

Right. All love and mercy. No justice. God is a merciful God but He is also a just God. The Apostles, as you've stated, taught that we must adhere to the commandments of Jesus. JESUS stated that we are to ABIDE IN HIM..... He said that we are to OBEY our Father in heaven.

Please provide scripture. This is a new concept to me. The Holy Spirit is represented as a Person. Ephesians 4:30 30 Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. It does not state that we are not to grieve GOD... or even the spirit of God... It...

I don't care for the fact that you placed God in parenthesis. Other than that, Yes, I agree. Humanity, or Christianity, relates to God as 3 distinct PERSONS because the bible shows God to be a Father, a Son, and a Spirit. IF the Trinity is not correct... then we have three Gods.....which I'm...

So you're saying I can't judge. WHAT do you think I cannot judge? Because Jesus seems to state that we MUST judge. Matthew 18:15-17 15 "If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. 16 "But if he does not listen to you, take one...

I'm sure @Beebster is a nice person. We're having a conversation - there's no problem here. He thinks I'm misunderstanding him... and I think I'm understanding him just fine. As to the Trinity being true... you've posted YOUR opinion... which you tend to do . I can only respond to scripture...

Right. Venezuela used to be a rich country. When I was a travel agent back in the 80's I used to send vacationers to Caracas! When a person could live well in their own country-they prefer to live there and not move to a strange country with a different language and culture and spend years...

No sir. YOU are the one that believes in two Gods. I believe in ONE GOD.... within which are THREE PERSONS. Perhaps it would be helpful if you AGAIN explained about how THE FATHER IS GOD and JESUS IS GOD. If I've misunderstood this very clear statement of yours, NOW is your opportunity to...

Is this also how you read the bible? OUT OF CONTEXT? Not very nice of you.

Your words Beebster.....create the CONCLUSION that there are two Gods. If you don't want to accept this...it's OK with me. Here's what the New Testament teaches: THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD. Within that One God exists two other Persons. Thus making: ONE BEING THREE PERSONS in that ONE BEING. This...

Guess the outgoing did something right.

8 million persons left Venezuela because they were HUNGRY. And where do you think they went? I think it's a good idea to fix the problem at their HOME instead of importing them. but at least this population is happy to be in the US although I'm sure they'd rather be in their own home but under...

But aren't Christians SUPPOSED to be abiding in Christ? Isn't that the very definition of the Christian faith? You said "all of us mostly are" you mean most of us are carnal Christians??
