The Scriptures say nothing of the sort. There is no passage in the Original Writings that says, "God came in the flesh". You infer where there is no revelation to support. Jesus Himself testified that what they were ready to stone Him for was just as true concerning those born of the Adamic...

Martin, you are such a fine fellow. Your humility and grace comforts me, and your approval is highly regarded. I love your fellowship. Grace is a power of God. It is the polar opposite of His condemnation to death. Just as death is the inevitable result of God's judgment unto condemnation, so...

Where does one go about purchasing a "skeptical eye'? Some people needed one of those years back.Your fortunate to have one. Are you skeptical about what you read in the "Book" too? Or does that just go for guys like me who like to shoot of their mouths alot? I welcome the Berean soul, and God...

The name Andrew immediately causes me to think of fishing. I wonder why? Are you a fisher of men? Some one has to be. Join the fun here. It can get tense, but you get out what you put in. Grace and truth is what I am looking for. Got Some? fivesense

If it is OK to call you DM, that is what I will do. The complexion of the moniker you chose is no doubt appropos, and a unique story. I was raised by practicing Roman Catholic parents, and attended a few years of parochial school. The truth of God surrounded me throughout my youth, but there...

That is not the only issue that needs a solution. Your zeal is very good, and the desire to please God by making a stand for truth is admirable. Not many will risk repudiation of their opinions publicly. It could be considered faith-based intiative. (little joke). It is interesting that you...

Impressive study whirlwind. It is interesting how a little comma placed where it shouldn't be can ruin a good thing. I enjoyed this alot. fivesense

Jn 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I suppose, staying true to the reasoning out of John 14, the disciples undoubtable were God too. The error is found in not discerning relative truth and absolute truth. There is only one...

There abideth three things that are transcendent graces. The come from above and cannot be manufactured or contrived out of the human spirit. They are the highway that leads to God's heart. Faith, expectation, and love. The world has it's counterfeits, and some are impossible to detect in the...

Would marking them which cause divisions be considered divisive? fivesense

God is Spirit. His desire to express love requires and object of His love. If I were to lose my wife, the loss of her as the object of my love would be unbearable. It is an infinite need of God to have recipients of His love. God IS love. But because He is Spirit, His ultimate desire is to have...

[/size]Simpleman, I am enjoying your lead in the truth of God. You lean heavily upon what God has revealed and you couple it with your right understanding of the nature of your Father. His love has reached a deep place in your heart, so that you are unable to embrace the myth of endless torment...

There is no need of apology, veteran. Your understanding and apprehensions are needed by all of us. It is the way that God confirms His truth, by the witness within each and everyone to the mind of the Spirit. It is good for all to believe what has been written, as you do, so that growth in the...

1C 8:6 yet to us is one God, the Father, of whom are the all things, and we to Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are the all things, and we through Him; Eph 4:6 (there is)one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in you all,; 1Ti 2:5 for one is God, one also...

Verse 14 is a metonymy, it is speaking of those in 13 who were the dead, and the "unperceived" or hades/sheol, where they "existed" prior to resurrection. Hell and the grave are decriptive terms, not literal places. The whole of death and the unperceived, or sheol, is formed of this group. With...

Something that I have always considered this passage to refer to is the division of what transpires in the mind. The soul finds its demands met by the power of reasoning and emotion, urging us to action. The faculty to think properly is so damaged by dying and selfishness that confusion over...

I bring this to you, having not looked up where these passage are, by knowledge of correct dividing, I would jump to the conclusion that these are from the Circumcision letters or the Lord speaking to His Jewish disciples. Tell me I'm wrong. Paul never mentions the soul outside of the present...
