Allow me to address this. KJV 2 Corinthians 5:1-8 Paul tells us of 2 houses, 2 states. Earthly, and heavenly. 1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. We all desire the heavenly...

The spirit is indeed an animating force... It is the breath that gives life to the body. Pneuma, from which we get the word pneumatic tyres, drills, press, etc. Spirit and soul are 2 distinct things. Note how the spirit of God inspired Moses to describe the creation of man... KJV Genesis 2:7 7...

KJV John 20:17 17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

Can you write any scripture that teaches that the spirit of man is an independent thinking self conscious entity apart from the body? That idea is Platonic, but where is it in the Bible? What did the Spirit look like? Where was it before the body was formed? Was it a living conscious entity...

Except Jesus wasn't in heaven that day. He was still dead. He didn't go to the Father until after the resurrection. The comma placed before the word 'today' was not inspired. It was placed in there by some translator in the middle ages whose mind was already informed by the popular concept of...

That's a subject of debate. Could Christ have sinned? Speaking personally, I disagree with the above reasoning. I do not believe it was a question of divine power but a question of Christ’s personal choice. Adam and Eve were created perfect. In them was no propensity to sin. They did though have...

Is this what Eve picked in the garden? A red dragon fruit????

Below is one component of a fruit salad we had last night. Isn't that colour just so gorgeous? The other ingredients were peaches, watermelon, and banana.

I think we need to be careful with this, not that I'm saying you aren't being careful. When we speak about what Catholics call original sin, I don't think it is correct to suggest we inherit or own or are responsible for in any way, Adams transgression. The children, that is us, are not held...

UWe can have what Enoch had. We can have Christ as our constant companion. Enoch walked with God, and when assailed by the tempter, he could talk with God about it. He had no “It is written” as we have, but he had a knowledge of his heavenly Companion. Don't confuse the Enoch born to Cain, who...

I find it difficult to believe that they weren't warned beforehand of the dangers at a time while they had communion with God Himself and of angels. I think though we grossly underestimate the cunning and skill of the enemy. Today he has had 6000 years to study the mind of man. He knows exactly...

KJV Genesis 3:5 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Let us consider the fact that Satan managed to deceive one third of the angels in heaven, all of whom stood in the very presence of God. He used...

I think your attitude towards Christianity and the God of Christianity is totally understandable. That you don't believe in a God who sends people into a place of eternal unjustified torment and suffering on account of a short lived life on earth is a logical response to an illogical concept. I...

And every second Saturday afternoon in Burke St mall. They are friends of mine. I know them to be straight up, honest, generous people.

Carl Sagan. Astronomer. Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions...

There are any number of beliefs about 1000s of different deities, demi gods, spirits of various shades and hues, and the result has been 1000s of years of conflict and wickedness, death and destruction, of men coveting stuff in the name of their particular god and willing to kill in the name of...

There are some folk who give away books and food parcels every Saturday afternoon at Flinders Sation. Have a chat with them some time, they may be able to offer help, company, and a friendly word. Peace bro.

No. A fact of history, attested to by eye witnesses, and experienced by those who surrender to Him from that time to this day. Attested to by changed lives, often radically changed, slaves freed from addictions, killers freed from hate, thieves freed from covetousness, idolaters freed from...

KJV Titus 2:11-14 11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great...
