"Made up stuff" was your term. I simply referred to your comment using the proper biblical term for what would be "made up stuff", as "all things come in parables." So, my explanation was indeed referring to Jn 14:16-17. Just as the biblical explanation, is a parable, referring to God as...

If a parable is "made up stuff", then made up it is, for God is One, and the parable - whatever parable, is simply an explanation. But not made up by me, for as it is written, it is not I who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

To properly understand who the Holy Spirit is, one must understand how the so-called trinity works...which is simply the Me, Myself, and I am, of God. Thus, the Holy Spirit is God, but performs the duties of the office of spiritual matters, just as the body of a man does the work of the mind...

Thanks. Although my reason for sharing is that I would hope that someday the tide would turn so that people are more careful about what they condemn of the spirit of God, rather than those of the spirit having to be careful what we say. Sadly, it's all backwards, and has been since they killed...

I guess the point is history and the word of God have many examples of men refusing to "take also from the tree of life and live forever--"...except within the limits of the flesh. So Israel killed those who were sent to her, and even Christ. If we take into account that God is spirit, and that...

What I find so offensive to many so-called Christians, is any talk of what God really is as opposed to what man really is. For this same reason Israel was guilty of killing the prophets and crucifying Christ. I mean, God is spirit, and we should aspire to rise up to be One with Him - this is the...

Indeed there are errors in how the church has followed Christ...and I tend to agree with your thinking. But I would describe it differently: First, it is correct to say that the Jews and the gentiles come to salvation differently - that is true according to the scriptures: "first to the Jew...

So...I was just accused by a Mod on another forum of "new age" "mystic" "nonsense." To which I responded, saying, "You are not allowing or imagining what surely must have come across the same way when Jesus said "You must be born again" and "You must eat of My flesh and drink of My blood."...

The seven seals are the seals placed upon the word of God, upon the scriptures given to the seven churches and "the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth." The Lamb is worthy to open the book and to loose the seven seals, because He alone has overcome death, by which He has...

I would tend to agree with all of these statements...for who has seen Christ "as He is" according to 1 John 3:2? One cannot say he has received Christ or the Holy Spirit, if he looks for Him yet to come in the flesh. If that person looks for Jesus to return in the flesh, he has rejected Him in...

You are conveniently leaving out that Jesus also said "Put your sword in it's place" at one time, but also another time "he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one"...very much just like the words of Ecclesiastes. But will you now concede the matter, or depart?

Is that the topic then? I thought it was just the division and the quarreling. Anyway...we don't have to like it, nor should we, but everything has purpose: Ecclesiastes 3 3 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: 2 A time to be born, And a time to die; A...

Hahahaha...on the other hand there is another poky finger, just like the other one. :)

I don't like it either...and there is certainly nothing wrong with saying so. But we shouldn't be surprised: Matthew 10:34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any...

It's a two-edged sword. What's not to like?

Ah, I have missed so much! The answer is...Yes, but No. But now if we also come on the scene and speculate, we add error to error. But their error was from blindness, which we too, either have or do not have, as we proceed unto "all truth." But let us not make the same mistake of "leaning on...

It is appropriate that we exist beyond our natural ability, for it is the manifestation of the fact that we have been on borrowed time since the cross...because "It is finished."

Yes, thank you, this I know. But it is also the timing of when we each come into His death, resurrection, and ascension; where the fact that we "were" crucified and raised up with Him comes to personal completion: "each one in his own order." 1 Corinthians 15:23 - With a BANG!

My bottom line: Your bottom line, and your reaction to my solution and God's word: ...Enjoy your "nothing" Friday. :(

Matthew 24:36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.
