    The Amazing Christ

    Perhaps there will be just unsolved questions until death, perhaps people can figure out the answers later on in the Kingdom of Heaven.

    "fruit" of the Spirit

    The biggest thing is asking God. Jesus said this (HE is speaking to us in a manner of going to God through prayer by the story) - Please take a few minutes to read what Jesus had said to his Disciples I believe here. Are you someone that believes ; though you are evil, known how to give good...

    Do we live by Laws?

    Just remind yourself that you are guilty, there is nothing wrong with that. Jesus did everything for you that one couldn't do on his own. Really brings for the great grace, kindness, goodness, of God himself to memory while praying. Knowing that you are forgiven through and through and have...

    Exposition: Why "Absent From The Body/Present With The Lord" Doesn't Support Immortal Soul Doctrine

    See Ya, whatever you believe always between you and God. I tend to see people die today and are resurrected going on to the Heavenly Jerusalem or outside of it according to John in Revelation, and Jesus who states there is resurrection of life, and resurrection of judgement for those who is...

    Exposition: Why "Absent From The Body/Present With The Lord" Doesn't Support Immortal Soul Doctrine

    I imagine that if heaven is gonna have people others hate in it, they do not want them to be there even if they are on the outside of the city, ya know @bbyrd009. Probably a heart problem God needs to work out for that person.

    Exposition: Why "Absent From The Body/Present With The Lord" Doesn't Support Immortal Soul Doctrine

    Oh, well I tend to look at the soul and spirit as similar to one another, @bbyrd009. Then again it doesn't matter what people think when it comes to resurrection. Everyone is going to be resurrected. So whatever people think it is between them and God.

    Exposition: Why "Absent From The Body/Present With The Lord" Doesn't Support Immortal Soul Doctrine

    You can cut a body open and find nothing but body parts. There is something God gave every individual that is born into this world mentally handicapped or not, and that is a soul. Even the handicapped can tell how you are just by the way you speak to them. In their own soul, depending on how...

    Importantly Defining the Holy Spirit

    Hello, I personally believe there are some things that are not part of our community anymore, such as speaking in tongues (except for those who are actually able to learn other languages and speak to others in their same language )- though with what happened in Acts, is profound because all of...

    Do we live by Laws?

    People choose what they see, how they act and believe. Whatever it is the important thing is to allow people to think for themselves, while having love for God and love for others.

    Understanding The Resurrection To Come

    Yes it makes me wonder about the heavenly Jerusalem above and the gates that never close. Hebrews 12:22 An Unshakable Kingdom …21 The sight was so terrifying that even Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.” 22 Instead, you have come to Mount Zion,to the city of the living God, the heavenly...

    Isaiah 43:10

    Do you think Jesus would in a sense would be our Father if he makes us children of God, by having faith in him? because of being born again in and through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ we are birthed into new creations, to newness of life by and through the Spirit. For to...

    Isaiah 43:10

    Oh, it is alright friend. I like how simple and easy to read. If you would like a literal greek to English edition a good bible to get would be Young's Literal translation. However those shared scriptures are so profound to showing who God used, to create everything. He used His very own Word...

    How do you do bible study?

    The best way to study the Bible is to read a section of it over and over and over again. Also to look at history to what you are reading, via perhaps a study bible; a subject study bible is also a good idea (Thompson Chain Reference Bible also has some information as to when the letters were...

    Isaiah 43:10

    That is the way I see it, JasontheServent. In the beginning there was God, who created the heavens and the earth. YHWH created the angels in heaven, and I believe that YHWH when speaking the WORD then spoken created. When YHWH said let there be light. When said to let there be light, light...

    The Amazing Christ

    Cheers @Jack brother. I don’t feel like debating or fighting. In Christ, love to you. Have a good night rest, today it’s been hard to sleep. It’s alright though. Gotta just keep going, maybe will catch a nap soon. Gotta go to work.

    The Amazing Christ

    Oh, well I shared this here sir. Anyway, if you don't believe it or whatever that is not between you and me as you have the ability to choose and think for yourself. There are somethings I do not know, but I share what I do believe, and can have my mind changed when insights come along. These...
