    The Holy Spirit in The Book of Hebrews

    Which one is the Most High? Which is greater and which is lesser? What does the Bible say? Many people also believe that there is no ranking among people in the kingdom. But it is very clear that there are those who are great in the kingdom and those who are least. Everything in the universe...

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    I consider myself to be a spiritual Christian...unaffected by man-made doctrinal statements that boil down mysteries to something that is easy to memorize and repeat. As such I see the Trinity theory to be man-made...a way of trying to understand something spiritual in layman terms. I think it...

    The Holy Spirit in The Book of Hebrews

    This could work if God wasn't Himself a Spirit. Go IS Spirit. God is not just outside of this world...He is present in His Spirit. We each have our own spirit...which is part of us...not a separate person. God also has a Spirit...called the Spirit of God. For your scheme to work there would have...

    The Holy Spirit in The Book of Hebrews

    Do people believe in the greatness of the Father or not? Is God the Father not omnipresent and all-powerful by Himself...and not in need of a separate Holy Spirit to help Him in His deficiencies? God IS Spirit. He places His Spirit within those who are His. And the "not by might nor by power"...

    Should members need to disclose their denomination?

    "But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against." Acts 28:22 T.S.E.S.A. There is nothing that is more unpopular than the truth.

    Was Jesus a 'created being?'

    Not created...but begotten. Ps. 2:7 "I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee." Heb. 5:5 "So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee." The...

    Should members need to disclose their denomination?

    T.S.E.S.A. (This sect that is everywhere spoken against.) IOW Christ-followers.

    Wise vs. Foolish Virgins

    The understanding you lack is how grace works. "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." Heb. 4:16 If there are some who require oil for their lamps...where are they going to go? They need to go to the throne of...

    The Deity of Jesus under attack on this forum.

    Those Commies infiltrated the early church in Jerusalem...people selling all to have all things in common! Very un-American (and therefore evil!)o_O

    Wise vs. Foolish Virgins

    Wow! incredible ....I leave you to your delusions and I hope that those who visit this thread will see through the religious posturing you are exhibiting.

    Wise vs. Foolish Virgins

    This post demonstrates a lack of understanding about what it means to have understanding. When the wise virgins say that the foolish ones need to buy oil for their lamps...that doesn't mean that they don't need to buy oil for their lamps. The meaning is lost when things are turned upside down to...

    Forgiveness Through Forgiving

    We will be judged as we have judged. It's like having a handicap in golf. If our heart is right in our dealings with others then God sees that as being righteous. Very few will be ready to be judged on the scale of a saint. Most will have to be compared with the standard of loving others as...

    No Righteousness of Obeying The Ten Commandments

    If God's way in Christ had been satisfied in Judaism then Jesus would not have come. Inside Judaism is the law of God AND the law of Moses. What marks the Jew is not the law of God but the law of Moses. The 10 commandments are to be seen as universal regardless of religion especially where the...

    Made in God’s likeness

    We are a duality of inner man and outer man. The inner man is created in God's image. The outer man replaces the spiritual covering that Adam had in the garden of Eden. Through the carnality of the outer man (and the sin nature embedded within it) we are made to serve the interests of the...

    For those who think Jesus is God - Why is that important?

    You are missing the understanding of truth which requires dualities. There is no electricity of magnetism without poles that attract and yet can be made to repel. 2 polarities...one flow of power. A river flows from a high point to a lower point. We begin in the flesh and move into the...

    Is Faith God-Given - or a Choice in reliance with - trusting God?

    It is both. We all have a measure of faith as human beings. But to move mountains we need the faith OF Christ. I see it as a heaving line cast from a ship in distress to a towing ship (tugboat). The line we cast is our own faith. From there our faith is attached to the big towing line that is...

    No Righteousness of Obeying The Ten Commandments

    We are not to be under the law of Moses....basically Judaism. Paul didn't want the way of God in Christ to be caught up with Judaism...seeing that Judaism is what men can do in their own strength whereas the way of Christ is about being empowered to walk as Jesus walked. Paul didn't want to...

    No Righteousness of Obeying The Ten Commandments

    There IS righteousness in obeying the law of God. BUT that righteousness must be imputed to the obedient one by God not ourselves. We can never justify ourselves by what we have done OR what we believe. It is God who justifies and no other. Should we obey the law! YES! No unrighteous person...

    Satan was right? Egads!

    I see from the Bible an everlasting and almighty Father dividing Himself into two...thus begetting a Son...a smaller version of Himself. Jesus is equally God with the Father in nature, character, and Spirit ...but not in stature. The Father is the MOST High. Jesus is not the Most High. But He is...

    What makes us One?

    Hi to all! :) There are many things that bring people together in an external way...there is our culture, nationality, political leanings, interests, hobbies... etc. That is on one level. Then there are things that are external things that penetrate more deeply into us ...things that are more...
