We all have a spirit that is a container within us. I see other spirits as a mean of conveyance of influence from beyond the temporal world that can enter into our spirits either temporarily or in a more permanent way. We can see a cell phone as something that is able to speak to us...like a...

And that's fine. I think we come at this with a tilted balance scale...in favour of what was decided by men a long time ago. But as spiritual people we have the ability to look beyond the teaching of the masses...since creeds were meant to conform basically non-believers into a religion that was...

People are allowed to deviate from the biblical admonitions in something we call...freedom of expression. People are free to draw the wrong conclusions. Making up creeds is itself a deviation from the biblical admonition to privately interpret the Bible according to our beliefs and preferences...

I think that once a person gets that idea in their minds...it becomes very difficult to look into the issue in any deeper way.

This is true of course. To escape from the carnal nature of the outer man requires being transported to be where God is. In His presence there is no sin. The Father is a source of life....but so is the Son. The Son is not just a partaker of the divine nature but also a source of life...He is...

Van Healing..... Grant Amy....the Morton tabernacle choir... (heard these on a Christian comedy site)

I think there is flexibility there seeing the mystery is so deep. Tertullian said that the GodHead is both 2 AND 3. He saw that it could work both ways...but he preferred the trinity idea. I'm just trying to put the 2 back into Tertullian. :) In the end when we are translated to a heavenly walk...

Don't you see what the verses are telling you? God is present in His Spirit. God is Spirit. The Father is in His Spirit. The Spirit BRINGS God to us...His presence...AND the Spirit brings us to God...by His Spirit.

Your error is to see a church structure and organization in the temporal world as something spiritual and eternal. Superstitions abound. And the carnal mind cannot comprehend spiritual things.

The Holy Spirit BRINGS the Most High to us AND takes us to be with Him...WHERE He dwells....in Zion. The Father and Son are distinct Persons...sitting on thrones. 2 thrones not three. The 7 Spirits of God are BEFORE the throne...serving God. Trying to force a "trinitarian" view on the...

Very few understand the purpose of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God is a gateway to the Father. For those who like Star Trek, there is a teleporter on the show that allows people to be scrambled from one place to the next. That teleporter works both ways... you can go FROM the mothership and...

Is a denomination a theological issue or an issue of a carnal religious outer man looking for a favourite scheme for salvation? Is the faith of the apostles a fringe theology? Things to ponder.

A little criticism here. Don't start a thread with a title you are not willing to lay out. It's dishonest to post a title as a solicitation of a self-help publication. To me that is very worldly. I tend to not think much of teachings that need and use a worldly approach towards other believers...

God hears the prayers of the penitent sinner because being repentant IS to be humanly righteous. God only hears the righteous. Repentance is a condition of salvation. Repentance is an act of righteousness. Look at the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican. The Publican was justified as being...

And more nonsense. God doesn't have blood. You are tripping yourself up in trying to support Jesus being divine so much you are denying Jesus' humanity. Jesus IS BOTH fully God And fully man. You obviously can't reconcile this duality...as VERY FEW are honest enough to consider. Any sense of...

God listens to fervent prayers and those who are persistent and have a just cause. He hears the prayers of the righteous. "The LORD is far from the wicked: but he hears the prayer of the righteous." Prov. 15:29 "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be...

You are not on the scent. :) My position is that there are TWO distinct persons in the GodHead...whereas your attempts to label what I'm saying only make God have one person. Be careful when falsely representing someone. I don't know at this point if you are being dishonest ...or is it just a...

You are forgetting that you are not the Lord...nor do you speak for Him. You rail against anyone that crosses your religious outer man and the opinions held by that part of you. Religious fanaticism does not speak the truth in love. I see neither truth nor love in your posturings as I'm sure...

People like binary arguments...because it is easy to pick one side and ignore the other. The Bible is full of "both-ands" which puts the carnal mind at a severe disadvantage. The carnal mind gravitates to one pole in any given polarity. That's how we know what is carnal and what is coming from...

Or maybe surrendering one's carnal nature to be dealt with by the cross...dogmatic beliefs notwithstanding?
