It seems you don't know much about Greek, do you? Do you even know a second language, or is English it? TC

Awh, boloney. That which is perfect is Christ, and Christ is not yet come! Besides, that which is in part, includes knowledge. You've done added those words "the gift of" to knowledge to fit with your theology (because they sure aren't in the text!) TC

From the sole perspective of the five senses, it's actually quite understandable how and why so many view Jesus as God. However, from a more spiritual perspective (which untold numbers of both students and teachers either don't have or don't know how to express), things change. TC

I've often wondered (and frequently asked in many discussion forums, but to no avail) exactly what purpose such a "belief" has or serves, if it is agreed and reasonably concluded that it is not necessary for salvation. In all the many years that I have asked this question, no one has ever dared...

There was only one tree that they were not to eat from. TC

And here I am, thinking exactly the opposite (i.e., that it might change one's view of Christ to a more healthy state.) TC

You're overthinking it. Temptation is temptation. Sin is sin. Temptation alone is not sin. Exactly what or where is the boundary between them? Well, that's probably arguable. But it doesn't change the reality that there is some distinct boundary between the two. Hence, touching was not...

Totally unbiblical? What did you bump your head on? Have you not at all considered that a tree bears fruit? Perhaps you'd do well to think about it a little more... TC

Perhaps he was given a glimpse of the future, had he obeyed the Pope... (Think about that!) TC

Why? I hadn't seen it or read it before. (and I am just now going through it.) What if someone had said that very thing of the Bible years ago? TC

Much of what you have written is quite good. There is a question that remains, however, as to the exact nature of the "life of the flesh" and what you've described as it's "vitalizing element." Spirit, as we know, has no form nor comliness. It is plainly not "bound" by the physical. (Agreed?)...

What do you suppose that it really is? TC

Now, as for blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, it is the unforgiveable sin. For a better understanding as to what this is or might be, perhaps we need to take a closer look at what else might be written as "unforgiveable." For the sake of expediancy, I'll cut to the chase in this post and leave...

I agree, and find these three posts on holy spirit to be among the best I've read here at Christianforums.com. TC

No, this is simply not possible. If you honestly believe that, do you also believe it is possible for God to lie? What chapter and verse supports this theory? If that is true (and I suspect it is), with so many theological scholars "thinking" there are presently no miracles or other acts of the...

Well then, have you considered what all it might mean if he weren't God? TC

I have yet to learn of (much less meet) anyone who honestly and genuinely understands the Trinity, and I'm no "spring chick." While some have supposed and even claimed that it is "an issue of salvation," it seems that most have either abandoned or never adopted that particular dogma. Which...

Thank you all for the welcome.

Not all, but much of what you posted, I'd agree with. Who he was, is, and what all we believe about the Lord Jesus Christ makes up the "Christology" this thread should be dedicated to, doesn't it? I also agree that correctly and accurately knowing (much less understanding) who Jesus Christ...

If God did "restore us to the kind of being He intended us to be without Jesus," then wouldn't he also (in all fairness) have to restore the devil to the position once given him as the morning star? Doesn't the fact that He had such an amazing alternative plan hidden from the beginning further...
