    Against Gnosticism

    OK The body: our outer shell in the natural world. The soul: who we really are...our thoughts, our will, our mind and hearts,. Our spirit: a place where God speaks to us...our connection to God. The inner sanctum of the heart.

    The Double-edged Sword

    I think the division is between our will and His will. Our desires and His. Our understanding...and His. We need to discern IOW what is coming from us and what is coming from God. That's how I see this. The word is there to help us with discerning what is coming through our spirits (the still...

    what is not understood so often is the definition itself. But clarity is important..

    James 1 :21 Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. Mat. 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy...

    The Book of Remembrance.

    Israel is found within the church. Israel, like the kingdom does not come with observation.

    There is a difference between spiritual eyes...and spiritualize. :)

    Many are called but few are chosen

    We are to make our calling and election sure...so then we are in the race until it is over.

    Sound Doctrine

    Unless of course the doctrine we have believed leads us to a false confidence...and a non-seeking of God's presence. The Pharisees said "we see" therefore they were condemned.

    This is science fiction. We are never spirits. We have a spirit that returns to the Lord. We are only a soul....always a soul. And GWT is about the book of life. Only they who are not written in it are cast into the fire.

    We are talking about eternal life here...not a temporal political boundary. And the Land....the "promised" land....has always been spiritual. :) It takes eyes to see this. Spiritual eyes.

    Dispensationalism favours a temporal understanding based on a "literal" interpretation of Israel. Messianics espouse this form (wind) of doctrine because it glorifies the flesh. But God must get the glory. People forget this. People are always looking to glorify the flesh. Dispensationalism...

    The Book of Remembrance.

    Again, in all these things it is based on spiritual life. The Gentiles learned of the new life in Christ from the Jews. Salvation is OF the Jews. But salvation is not exclusively theirs. So as the gospel was preached in all nations...more Gentiles entered into the life of Christ. Israel is of...

    This is a misrepresentation of what I said. We are not a spirit...nor are we a body. We are a soul that has a body and a spirit. On judgment day our souls (us) will be judged....whether they are worthy of continuing life....and the quality of that life.

    A spiritual bias? I suppose one has either a bias towards spiritual things or temporal things. Which one is eternal?

    JOHN'S BAPTISM

    The baptism of the Spirit is us being immersed in the Spirit. This isn't just receiving Jesus inwardly. But there are a lot of misconceptions about this, of course. Being baptized in the Spirit is NOT just speaking in tongues....although this could be something that accompanies Spirit baptism...

    The Book of Remembrance.

    I don't judge people. I judge the teaching that leads people astray. Imagine a scheme cooked up by the devil to fool God's people. If we took the dispie view and brought it to the difference between men and women...it would look like... Hey, Jesus was Jewish...but He was a man...so He is a...

    Against Gnosticism

    So then there are 2 powers fighting each other in the world. Since the sin of Adam there is a connection between our weakness and his rebellion. The weakness of the flesh is given strength through "self-assertion". But how can weakness draw on itself? It needs an outside power to strengthen...

    The Book of Remembrance.

    That is a private interpretation that goes against the biblical text. Paul explains Lo-Ammi as the Gentiles. 24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? 25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which...
