No, the completed product is the whole of the Body of Christ with Jesus as the Head and believers as all of the rest of it.

Immaturity in children is perfectly acceptable and even expected. In adults it is hard to stomach. Tiny children babble before they talk and communicate. This babbling is what a new born Christian might do, but as he grows and matures [if he does] the spiritual babble will certain become a...

Scripture [the flesh eaten] + the Spirit [Quickener of the flesh ] = the Word Alive in a person, [me in this case]!

That which is appropriate is God's will for a situation. Not every person is led along precisely the same pathway by the Holy Spirit, so what is good for the goose, may not be good for the gander!

And this is the way one decides truth or falsehood? What is acceptable proof? For man we know what they say, but for God is it not established before two witnesses? For Jesus it was Him and His Father, was it not? You never have explained where all the apostles have gone when Paul allowed that...

Thank you, but, no! As you know from my previous posts on your thread I am against piercing of any kind, but I speak for no one else. I will not vote as none of your options fit my position! God's will is often not according to any majority in any case.

I see your point but do disagree. Many will still say that The Confederate States of America were in fact a legally established nation. If they had not lost the war, would there have been any doubt? According to many in England I am certain it was long after England quit fighting against the...

I was not and am not disagreeing with your literal physical description. Rather I was adding my own spiritual consideration of heaven or heavens. Never forget that there are types and shadows. The Reality as per God is what we all, I believe, should be seeking. The "dry land" called Earth...

But they did become two kingdoms according to scripture, each with its own king and army, and they fought wars against one another killing each other. The first king of the northern 10 tribes, Jeroboam, worked hard to keep the two separate as the king in the south was Solomon's heir. Jeroboam...

"And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed." Gen 32:28 bq[y Ya`aqob (yah-ak-obe'); Proper Name Masculine, Strong #: 3290 Jacob = "heel holder" or "supplanter" larXy Yisra'el (yis-raw-ale')...

Many people are not forgetful but rather simply ignorant and have little or no interest in being other than that. How many ever read about early schools in the United States being established so that children could know how to read the Bible for themselves? Has there been a change of emphasis...

Above planet Earth or simply above, according to God, the level at which most men walk when they walk without the Spirit of God? Is heaven only a physically imagined as perceived by the five senses of man and his carnal brain or is it a spiritual realm available now to whosoever will? Did the...

I have an empty bowl sitting on my desk. My wife made her daily popcorn contribution for me a while ago, but I finished eating it before I got to this thread! No more until tomorrow, but then if tomorrow never comes, I really am in trouble.

The phrase "that which is" has too many examples to easily sort through at the moment. I looked at a few and realized their meanings were seldom, I believe, the meaning you would intend. Time as man sees usually sees it in a way quite differently than God would view it is likely the trouble. If...

You have then something in common with God!

@Mayflower Joining here in prayer!

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." Rom 12:1 And that is only reasonable! Nothing extraordinary at all. But who do we know who is trying to do that much? As you...

People do today too often like the Israelites did with regard to looking at the serpent of brass for healing as Moses advised [Num 21:8-9] and then moving in the course of time to the Nehushtan which King Hezekiah destroyed. The former is indicative of Jesus while the latter is indicative of...

One thing I see in the fig leaf covering are the churches of men built WITH rather than WITHOUT hands. The WITHOUT hands truly comes to us, if it comes at all, with what Jesus brought for us. The WITH hands is what too many men claiming to Christian do instead of looking to and leaning on God...

An interpreter has always been necessary for God's message to get through to anyone. In the OT He often spoke to the people through the prophets. When Jesus walked with His disciples 2000 years ago He spoke in parables but He gave the interpretation to His disciples. Now the interpretation is...
