    The Law of the Spirit of Life

    One thing at a time then. No...you cannot have the scriptures about Paul and Peter contradicting those from John. But here you would have one of them wrong, and me as well, because I say the scriptures do not show any conflict, and you simply do not understand, therefore you claim one against...

    Well that is a far better statement than your BOLD reality speech of now being in the flesh (even if it is true). Again, it's your demeanor. Wow - maybe I should do that more often!

    OFFICE OF POPE IN THE BIBLE

    I explained that it was your demeanor, as if you had a fondness remaining for the flesh. Therefore I did not invent, but gave biblical precedence. For, who having been delivered to the promised land, would come back in defense, saying: "But we are still from Egypt?"

    OFFICE OF POPE IN THE BIBLE

    Yes, good, we have something we can agree on. But your demeanor suggests that you are saying so from the world and not from the kingdom. If one has passed from death to life, he speaks from a position of life and does not stand in defense of death, except in mercy for the lost. Such a position...

    The Law of the Spirit of Life

    You are still mixing things up that should not be mixed. That is the only thing that applies to you personally, otherwise my point was not personal but an answer to your "any believer" comment, that you had rather given people too much credit for being saved while still continuing in sin, which...

    The Law of the Spirit of Life

    Just so we are clear, here is what you said: So...you think that Jesus was lying when He called Peter Satan, or when He called the descendants of Abraham the devil's children? You think too much of yourself. Now, I tell you the truth, and you do not believe. You make it sound like John was...

    The Law of the Spirit of Life

    Now we're getting somewhere! I don't care to read about the teachings of men if they support untruth. But, your comment about the slightest sin being of the devil, is absolutely true. Just ask Peter why he was rebuked by Jesus, saying "Get behind me Satan." A person either walks in darkness...

    OFFICE OF POPE IN THE BIBLE

    I am not the one treating the flesh like the spirit and the spirit like the flesh, or mixing what is written of the one with what is written of the other. On the contrary, I have rightly divided what is written regarding each.

    Which View of the Trinity do You Believe?

    The problem of understanding the triune nature of God...is that we have heard it in a children's story and from that very elementary perspective. If we didn't have some greater knowledge of God, the whole thing would appear to be contradictory nonsense. I mean even Jesus said, "I and the Father...

    Is this out of your reasoning?

    I don't know the quote, but God certainly communications in all manner of mysterious ways, even today. If anything, His communication has gotten all the more complex, as is befitting of one born into a time of increased knowledge. We still hear of simple communications and miracles among...

    The Law of the Spirit of Life

    You are somehow missing that one who is One with God in the spirit, cannot sin any more than God can sin - because the two are One. And by not taking this truth to heart, you allow a little sin to remain. On this, we disagree. I agree with John. Nonetheless, if the spirit of God is in a man, He...

    You can deny it and make bold your claims - but if the old man is not dead already...you simply wouldn't know the truth.

    The Law of the Spirit of Life

    These things are self-evident. If one is in Christ who was slain before the foundation of the world, then sin was also before the foundation of the world, or God is unjust, having slain Christ before any were guilty. But if you will deny the one, surely it is you who have questioned God. But I...

    The Law of the Spirit of Life

    If you believe so, then you have missed much. Here below are the scriptures in red. Must I really quote them for you? These passages are all spoken to those still in sin, not to Christ in us.

    There are currently 41,000 different Christian denominations

    Does not the thumb oppose the fingers on the right and on the left, and the right leg push forward while the left pushes back to carry the body forward? Do they all not do the will of the head, and do we not love them all? Do not be troubled. The mystery of God is at work. Yes, the love of many...

    The Law of the Spirit of Life

    By the renewing of the mind, it is not the receiving of life in Yeshua that is figurative, but rather what only appears to be life in the world but is death. For all that is in the world is a mere manifestation, a revelation, by the "image" of God. It is not that in the flesh we sin or still...

    If the human body is composed of DNA, and it is predicted that there are over 3 billion basepairs in the human genome, and humans have approximately 10 trillion cells...then how much more the body of Christ?

    OFFICE OF POPE IN THE BIBLE

    You are not doing what Paul did, and it is that difference that is not biblical. He very clearly stated that those who are in Christ are a new creation, that it is no longer we who live, but Christ who lives in us. But he also spoke to and of those who were hearing the gospel for the first time...

    OFFICE OF POPE IN THE BIBLE

    That is not a fair or accurate or even a biblical representation of the truth. The fact that the scriptures only elude to the reality that all who are born of the flesh are dead, does not give you any justification for sayings so. It simply shows you mean to win, even if only by a worldly...
