    Spirit Filled?

    John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. When we have the Words of Christ Jesus in us, are we Spirit filled?

    How To Discern Gods Will?

    My opinion: The answer is in seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. If you are born again you can see the Kingdom of God (go to Revelation 21 and 22) within. The Kingdom is the Last Day, where there is no night, and the day of rest. Labor to enter the day of rest. Heb 4: 10 For he...

    Jesus walked on the waters

    Does this define the waters? Rev 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. If so could this also be some of the waters in Gen.? It seems there are many waters? I kinda like the waters in Gen 1:2 to...

    The Bible Teaches: Dont Read Christian Books!

    Mt 7: 12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14...

    In the biginning is not baseball...

    Was God in existance? God created the darkness—Isa 45:7 Is it possible that we were created "in" God? Is God substantive? I am not suggesting God is material. I understand so far that God is Spirit and we are in God. I do not believe God is nothing. Blessings

    Why do we believe Creation out of nothing? Is this in fact the doctrine of men? I would like proof from the Bible that we were created out of nothing—Creatio Ex Nihilo. We came from God, by and through the Son Christ Jesus. Are God and the Son nothing? Is God substantive? Please...

    In the beginning was the Bible...

    Mistakes or not—how would the understandings of God be passed down from generation to generation? History shows us that a verbal venue only (and I say this from my own understandings) has proven itself to be inadequate—so the son of God, Jesus Christ, said "...What thou seest, write in a book...

    What does hereafter mean?

    Where do you get "history"? The word is "hereafter". Blessings

    In the beginning was the Bible...

    When we go to the ocean, we see the ocean. We do not see the ocean in its complete state—but we see the ocean. The words of God are God—just not all of God. I have not eaten all of the oatmeal on the earth, however, I know what oatmeal tastes like. Because of his Son, I know the Father...

    In the beginning was the Bible...

    All do not speak in tongues. The following is to show, according to the Bible that Greek is a tongue. Re 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. Blessings

    In the beginning was the Bible...

    "In the beginning was the word..." Please forgive me if I am out of place. Jesus is the "beginning"!! I know that the word is "In" the beginning. The statement "In the beginning..." is, in my opinion, not an historical phrase. The Greek word for "In" is "en" and it means inside and/or...

    What does hereafter mean?

    What does hereafter mean? Re 1:19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; Re 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me...

    In the biginning is not baseball...

    The word exegesis can mean explanation, but as a technical term it means "to draw the meaning out of" a given text. Exegesis may be contrasted with eisegesis, which means to read one's own interpretation into a given text. The historical Biblical paradigm today is eisegetically imposed...

    I love science. I studied academic Physics for 15 years. The only place the world paradigm of physics leads us is into an historical darkness. I realized I was not there when God created the heavens and the earth. I was as Job: 38:2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge...

    Historical/Critical/Biblical Paradigm?

    WOW! God has blessed me to have a conversation without being an "in your face" debate. I am not sure of my agenda here. A little background. I am retired. I was in the ministry for 25 yrs.—directing homeless shelters. I have purposely kept myself "intra-denominational". I have spoken in...
