  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The Lord is the Spirit. The Spirit is the Lord Jesus in His pneumatic form.
So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul”; the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit. ( 1 Cor. 15:45)
And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. (2 Cor. 3:17)


Where is the Lord the Spirit in the Christian?
The Lord is mingled, joined, and united with our human spirit.


But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit. (1 Cor. 6:17)

Therefore part of our being as Christians is Jesus Christ.
Part of out being is mingled with God.

We can say that part of our being is God.

The Lord is with our spirit.
The Lord be with your spirit. (2 Tim. 4:22a)

The Lord with our spirit is by the same passage the GRACE of the Lord with our spirit.
The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you. (2 Tim. 4:22)

The grace of the Lord is the power of His presence and His very life within us.
He and this grace are with our spirit our "praying organ" deeper than our mind, deeper than our soul.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.(Gal. 6:18)
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. (Phil. 4:23)
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. (Philemon 25)


Because Christ as the Spirit is with our spirit He is in two places.
He is in heaven at the right hand of God and He is living within us in our human spirit.

1.) Christ at the right hand of God - It is Christ Jesus who died and, rather, who was raised, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. (Rom. 8:34)

2.)
Christ living in the Christians - But if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is life because of righteousness. (Rom. 8:10)
