    Bible alone

    Sorry, I should have asked "Why through the church?" Peter did not hear through mother church, but from the Father. That, rather, is the way of Christ's church.

    is doing sexual things with a boyfriend/girlfriend sin...

    The question is quite elementary, so deserves an elementary answer. In other words, the subject is in the scriptures for moral reasons, that the people of God might practice those things that are a form of foreshadowing...but more importantly are in the eternal word of God for a much greater...

    Bible alone

    The scriptures are not under the providence of men, but under God alone. Only in him can one convey or relay the Word of God, which is "foolishness" without the Spirit. Point being: The Bible is not "alone."

    Only 2 Comings by Lord Jesus, Not 3

    There is no scripture that shows Jesus as the "Prince of the Power of the Air." On the contrary, He is the Prince of Peace. (See also: John 14:30 "I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.") Perhaps you could make your point without it?

    Only 2 Comings by Lord Jesus, Not 3

    Ephesians 2:1-3 "And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in...

    Only 2 Comings by Lord Jesus, Not 3

    It's even simpler than that... Paul eluded to it in this way: "the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual." 1 Corinthians 15:46 Which, by the way was "quickly" after his ascension. Matthew 26:32 "But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee (to...

    How's everyone doing these days...it's been awhile.

    Haha, praise be to God, time is on my side! I have missed you all too! These have been some crazy times, bad is good, hate at an all time high. But none of that worries me, we know the end. What bothers me is living under the tyranny of evil men, i.e. the deep state stuff. Nonetheless, God is...

    How's everyone doing these days...it's been awhile.

    I'm fine, life just gets busy sometimes. CA fires, business, moving, new beginnings, pandemic, etc.. God is good. Blessings all around!

    Is holiness actually attainable in this life? Can a man cease from all sin?

    There is another perspective: God's perspective. God's perspective is "I am", the same yesterday, today, and forever. In that perspective, we too "are", and yet here we are in the middle of split hairs, one moment thinking we are, and the next thinking we are not...sinners, that is. Well, it...

    Saved, which means what?

    "Saved", short for "salvation", is what is required to live (as God lives, which is eternal, as opposed to the temporal worldly existence we incorrectly call life, which is rather death, because it ends in death), for having been cast out of the presence of God, as sons and daughters of the...

    Spirit?

    It is simpler than all that really, it's about revelation by contrast...like black ink on white paper, opposites that reveal the truth in word. He is showing us what is, and how it is, what is true, and what is not. Then comes the end.

    Spirit?

    That does not agree with God being "the same yesterday, today, and forever." Scripture must agree with scripture.

    Spirit?

    That is not the situation, not at all, and not what I am saying. Your lack of understanding does not mean that anything you have yet to come to know, means that one who speaks the truth is on drugs. On the contrary, God is Creator and Author. And even humans who create and write, do not create...

    Spirit?

    A curious thing indeed. As God says, "I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the Lord, do all these things." Some translations say, "I make peace and create evil." The point is, there is no power except from God, from which all things are accomplished and...

    Spirit?

    The problem here is that the modern definition of "substance" is "matter", which is not the spiritual definition. Indeed, "faith" has no matter, and yet has substance by God. So, then, the better spiritual definition of substance, is "make up." What, then, is the "make up" of that which is...

    Spirit?

    No, you have that backwards. That which is created is not real, but Him who created is real. As for the Word [God] becoming flesh and dwelling among us [in the would-be reality of this world], He lowered Himself: He who knew no sin, became sin.

    Spirit?

    You don't know what you are talking about.

    Spirit?

    Just as God whom is spirit is the "I am", spirit is. All power is of God in spirit. Conversely, all that is physical is not, is vanity, is nothing. The physical creation, is media from God, revelation. That's all.
