The Word of God is certainly more important than anything coming from the heart of man walking in his carnality. With that I will agree. The thing is that only by the Holy Spirit can a man know what God is saying. A dead man reading the Bible won't know a thing. I have no problem with what you...

@"ByGrace" Good to see you here. Continuing to keep you in prayer!

Thank you, now I really don't know exactly what you mean by a "proper church". I presume you mean some kind of a church organization, but that is just a guess on my part.

Stop trying to decide what I believe or disbelieve... Stop pushing so hard to convince everyone that what you believe must be seen and believed by everyone else: "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts." Prov 21:2 How important ultimately is the answer...

God gave man logic too, but I do not believe it is given to us to determine the final and correct answer on every point on the things of God. That is NOT the Way to God. I have seen errors in Mormons, Catholics, Baptists, Pentecostals, Methodists, and so forth, but I don't give merits or...

Well I still won't get too much into the differences in understanding, but I still definitely cannot embrace a trinity doctrine. Neither do I insist on a UPC version of Oneness or any other definite doctrine. To anyone reading the Bible it is probably clear enough that there is only One God. I...

Do you really believe that logic makes the difference as to whether a person is "saved" or not?

I was a member of three different Oneness Pentecostal groups during a period of 11 years. Most of the individuals I knew and all of those in ministerial positions did reject the trinity. It was the primary reason for their separation from other Pentecostals about 100 years ago. None of them...

It is a book that tells you a lot about yourself when you are not serving God and following Him rather than your own ways and your own flesh. The things Solomon calls 'vanity' will be our result when we do our best all alone. With God in us, a different better result is possible. This is why God...

Jesus overcame the "world" of the flesh of the man Jesus. He overcame all of the temptations within himself so that he could be that perfect unblemished sacrifice according to His Father's will. Because He did it, it is possible for us to do it also... that is to overcome the "world" of flesh...

I agree. She was among the Living as were Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: "And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead...

I'm no expert on that, but I am certain they were originally living, whether papyrus or vellum or paper. We do the same thing physically when we eat the dead meat of cattle. It is dead but after we consume and digest it, it will eventually be brought back to life as part of us [fleshly us].

@Giuliano I saw other points of interest in this post, but I wished to comment on what I quoted below: If you had not already made note of it, a connection for Rachel in Egypt is seen in one of Joseph's early dreams: "And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said...

I don't reserve my "likes" only those with whom I agree 100%. Sometimes I like their research and/or their conclusions based on the scriptures [or other?], even though sometime I may actually disagree with some points posted. While I am more careful about calling something in scripture an...

The dominion remains over self... That dominion is what men have named "free will". The dominion includes over ourselves and therein is man's trouble. He took upon himself in his dominion over himself to disobey God. The only way back to God is to give that dominion over ourselves to God daily...

Even so! Unfortunately, some people cannot discuss their opposed beliefs with each other without involving personalities and, yes, getting angry or being offended. Usually, if ever, it is not necessary to become enemies, even if we cannot be friends.

Not everyone's faith!

The writing was perhaps complete, but unlike the personal work of Jesus in His own flesh which was finished on the cross [John 19:30] our work, the work in each of us continues until each of us has finished his course [the end of his allotted time]. "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher...

I would guess that I could not change your mind about all of this. Mysticism? Would you deny the possibility of a direct connection with God on a day to day, moment to moment basis? Rather than the Ten Commandments alone, I would say that is could be all of the Word of God that we have...

The Word of God is not complete until is written by God in a person's heart and has done all of the work to be done in that person's heart. When will that be finished in every included person? Perhaps when each and every one has moved from the as through a glass darkly to the face to face. Will...
