    I have a question about the Trinity.

    You can't have it both ways. If Man is in GOD's Image and GOD is a Trinity, then Man must also be a trinity. We know we aren't 3 persons in one, but we are one living being existing on 3 planes of existence which we can experience daily as I described in my original post. From where do your...

    I have a question about the Trinity.

    Man is in the image of GOD. Therefore, Man is a trinity in the same sense that GOD is a Trinity. Jesus states in Mark 12:30 that Man has a heart, soul, and mind plus a body (implied by 'all thy strength'). Each of the 3 planes of spiritual existence serve a different purpose within a living...

    Why Abortion Should Be Allowed in the Early Stages

    The point is that Jesus was conceived just a few days, at most, before Mary visited Elisabeth. That implies that life begins at conception--not birth or 6 months after conception.

    Why Abortion Should Be Allowed in the Early Stages

    The Bible is unified Scripture toward a single Purpose. Therefore, giving one verse a purpose that is contradicted by another is a sign of incorrect interpretation. Instead an interpretation that unifies the Scripture is necessary. This will result in an interpretation that applies primarily...

    Does God allow abortions?

    Obviously, GOD allows abortion because it happens; so does HE allow murder, divorce, and all other forms of evil. Why is another subject. Neither can we pick a few verses from the Bible and give those verses the purpose of allowing something we want to do or believe. That is not the purpose...

    I have a question about the Trinity.

    Spiritually, Man is described as having a Heart, Soul, and Mind--Matthew 22:37. Is Man 3 in one?

    Anxiety Over The Unforgivable Sin

    A winning reply, Wes. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is a state of being rather than a particular act(s). It is the state of denial of that Spirit--the old Man. In this state there is no forgiveness. Seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit is also a state of being rather than a particular...

    How long should birthright citizenship be a right?

    It is important to realize that what is logical and just has little, if nothing, to do with many laws and the rights associated with them. The self-serving nature is the biggest factor in maintaining or eliminating rights that open the door for misuse. If the misuse favors a large, power...

    Anxiety Over The Unforgivable Sin

    I answered the question some time ago. Apparently, you had have an incorrect answer that you want to believe. That is your problem not mine. End of discussion between you and me.

    Anxiety Over The Unforgivable Sin

    Great! Then we both also know why Jesus was in the heart of the earth for 3 days and 3 nights and not some other time frame. Naturally, why GOD, Christ, and the Holy Spirit are all referred to as being male rather than female. I could probably list a 100 or more similar questions not discussed...

    Anxiety Over The Unforgivable Sin

    The Bible is a unified, synergistic document. You can't point to one or two verses and conclude that you fully understand the concept you think you see. That would be like the Trigonometry formula c(squared)=a(squared)+ b(squared) for a triangle. Knowing the formula does not allow you to...

    Anxiety Over The Unforgivable Sin

    Man is to be reborn. Thus, a change has to occur. For all changes, there is a first step, which is followed by the other steps in order until the change is realized--rebirth. The Spirit we have determines what we seek. If we have the Holy Spirit, we will seek the things of GOD. Therefore...

    Why is God letting Satan rule the world?

    Matthew 13:24-30 The question is who is the enemy. Consider Man's self-serving nature. That nature creates all the problems attributed to 'Satan'. Man was created to express the life of Christ--individually--and become the body of Christ - John 15 So what is the life in Man when they do not...

    What blinded the Pharisees

    The self-serving nature of Man is who blinds him to the truth. Man was created to love a Purpose outside himself of which he is a part--contributing according to his gifts and abilities. The self-serving nature focuses Man's attention within themselves. Reality's Purpose is not to serve the...

    My take: Alabama woman who joined ISIS.

    Revenge is an expression and goal of the "prince of this world". Forgiveness is the goal of GOD for all who have sinned (willing transgressed) She was a U.S. Citizen, but the State Department has cancelled her citizenship (father is suing the U.S. to get her reinstated). The young are easily...
