That is great--thank you! I too do word studies. My advice and direction against it here, is not that it not be done--in fact, I recommend it. But rather, that word study should not be a religion, a god, and the primary basis on which one lives before God. That is a recipe for disaster: That is...

I did already: As for "being evasive", I spoke the truth and told you plainly. But, since you don't seem to understand, I will clarify: "Doctrine" is "belief." --I don't have a belief or a doctrine per say. What I know of God, I got directly from God, so I do not "believe" it, I "know" it.

Yes, it is a people problem. Like I was saying: "confusion, flesh and blood, and interpretations."

Thanks for the compliment.

Thank you, but let me be perfectly clear. There is no problem with studying the word of God. The problem is placing the written word, which is subject to confusion, flesh and blood, and interpretations, above what the Spirit says. And let's not forget that the Spirit is not limited to those...

That is not the point or my original post. But rather that it is in fact against God and his word to put the literary meaning or the words alone, before their spiritual meaning. You missed the point.

According to 2 Timothy 2, it is not by word alone, but by the spirit of God in us through our Lord Jesus Christ that we shall come to reign with Him.

Well...I am not going to dignify your slander. But that is not what I said, or how I said it...but only part. That is called wrongly dividing the word of truth. Which is typical of those who speak against the truth. ...Oh, and you also only quoted part of your attack scripture. You left out...

No, see, there is a difference between "thinking" or believing, and "knowing" anything of truth. Truth belongs to God. If it comes from God, it's the truth. Period. But I do value his word in the scriptures--He sent me directly to it to fill in all the details. But the words are spirit, and...

Incidentally. “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword." Matthew 10:34 That sword which Christ brought...if taken up in language alone, written or spoken, is divisive. Unless, by further instruction, it is taken up in the Spirit: "Therefore...

I know it's different for different people. But as it turned out for me, I first heard from God and then went to the scriptures. Which, in doing so the one confirmed the Other, and vice versa.

God has confused all language at Babel--even all scripture...which has not been rescinded. Most of the debates here and many of the differences of belief and division among so-called Christians, are over the various translations of original languages that have been confused by God to make it...

God has confused all language, thus a word study as you have presented it is of no value. That is not spiritual discernment, which is the only means of knowing the truth. That alone should make you doubtful. Nonetheless, you are not connecting all the dots. Perhaps this will help you get off...

Why then did you ask, when I told you as much:

Indeed, it would be good to retrace your teachings and make a change. Here is a brief explanation of "I am" from God's word: "I am" is a term used by God to identify Himself, which began here: Exodus 3:14 And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children...

Just as it has been made manifest. No, you misunderstand. Adam is not made manifest of Adam, but is made manifest as the first revelation of Jesus Christ (He is the Beginning and the End). Which does not mean he was Jesus either, but rather made in His likeness as a revelation of all things, the...

All things are made in the likeness of that which is spirit, made manifest.

This is true.

You are still expressing your own understanding. And where did you come up with the word "union" in place of "One" in John 17? Nonetheless, you are referring to the words and your understanding of language that has been confused by God, and your confusion is apparent: "God is One God." And...

First, call on His Name, by name, to insure that no one else answers. God (with a capital G) will suffice. Then, if you have already given your life to God--tell Him again, that He hears it from you that not your will, but His be done. Give Him the same consideration of confirmation. Finally...
