    I See the Son

    I would add to the word being the sole media, to say also: manifestations, dreams, visions, and personal encounters. I personally have encountered God in a vision (in the spirit), that I must say, was more real than life itself. By this, I do not "believe" in God, but "know" of Him. I am...

    Gun Control

    Whether one puts faith in guns or in no guns, it is vanity. This is not a faith issue, any more than if one wears shoes or goes barefoot, or is circumcised or not. The greater point, is that neither speaks of the heart or intent, and therefore, neither should be promoted or condemned. Do not...

    I See the Son

    It is hard to embrace what we have not seen for ourselves. So, yes, the word hopefully is the cause of believing. But "knowing" comes only by God's own reciprocation to our faith and belief...or by direct intervention. This is the key: that we should believe, and thereby be invited in where we...

    A Common Error

    Yeah, the world uses a logic that has resulted in death, and the way to life is almost the opposite of what one would think. But, not to be confused...you may be operating with both, by each of the two contrary bodies of flesh and spirit. If this conflict is evident in your life...you are on...

    freewill is bogus

    We have all the free will we can stack on the head of a pin - or....I should say, "In the twinkling of an eye." We spend our whole lives discovering who we are, while all along, the Great "I Am", in "I am" terms has already determined who we are in "we are" terms...and this life is just us...

    Jesus in the Old Testament

    I suppose there are two ways to address this: Actual visitations by Jesus. Portrayals of Jesus. The biggest portrayal of Jesus, was King Solomon. He was a son of David, a king of kings, the wisest man and judge noted in history, he built the house of God, and he owned more richest than can be...

    A Common Error

    Just as God refers to Himself as Father and Son (male), but is all things and not lacking any traits associated with gender either way...the church, though it is made up of males and females, is referred to as a "bride" (female). Which, spiritually defines the church as "taken out of" the man...

    The make up of God

    The Son is Life, He was before the foundation of the world (before creation)...i.e., life was not created. Just chiming in :)

    The make up of God

    John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. John 17:24 “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

    A Common Error

    Yes, indeed - thank you! This is the spiritual meaning of what Paul wrote about women being "silent in church." As the body of Christ...we are "the bride" - female, men and women alike. Thus, if the bride is silent, then it is [only] the word of God that is spoken in church...rather than all...

    A Common Error

    Paul spells out the [historical] order of things quite clearly, here: Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

    Questions

    God is spirit. Thus, Christ having ascended, has reentered the spiritual realm, and like God the Father, He is now spirit also. Although, for a season, He lowered Himself to live in the flesh as a sacrifice for sin.
  13. ScottA

    Questions

    No, not at all. Hence, He said "I have" "overcome the world" (past tense). Christ is not a spirit per se, but has ascended, which says that He now is [spirit]. This is the distinction made by Jesus in claiming to be the "Son of man", when it is evident that He is also the Son of God, and God...

    The make up of God

    A Common Error

    If i may... I believe that the error that H.R. is referring to specifically, is the two different dispensations: The one to the descendants of Adam (the first Adam), and the other dispensation of the descendants, not of those born of the flesh, but those born again of the spirit of God (that of...

    A Common Error

    EXCELLENT! This is what is meant by "rightly dividing the world of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15 More importantly, this is the dividing line between the first Adam, and the Last Adam, which is to say: between the flesh and the spirit. In rightly dividing the word of truth, it is important to determine...

    My 9/24/17 response

    First...you have to understand that the clock only ticks in the world - time was created when the world was created. Then...you have to understand that the clock of time does not tick in the kingdom. Then...rightly divide the word into what is of the world (as Paul explained things in the...

    Boycott the NFL

    The two are not related. All who died, died for all. The world is not perfect. You making this a racial thing does not help, it makes it worse. If you want your injustice to be heard and changed, don't mix the issues: If blacks had to give up their seats to Nazi pow's, then keep it at that, and...

    My 9/24/17 response

    Yes. But you speak in tongues, while I interpret (so to speak). "At once" (together) is the correct wordage, but it says nothing of [the subject]. If one stands on the ground and identifies a "bird", regardless of eloquence, it does not speak of "flying", but only of a creature. Likewise, the...

    My 9/24/17 response

    Wow, that is a mouthful...just to say, "that day", which spiritually is the fulfillment of all things. Yes, the dead and the living are raptured together. But that is not to say they are raptured at one time, but rather each in his own order in the world and yet together in the kingdom.
