Thank you so much for such a nice an thorough reply. Isn't the second DEATH for mankind a form of everlasting punishment? IOW, a person is finally dead and gone for ever. Now, mankind experiences the first death ...one where we have a ceremony and where his spirit goes to a place of heat and...

I'm jumping back in this thread with my thoughts on the topic. Probably will repeat some things. 1.) First, at this time, I do not believe humans will suffer eternally in the Lake of Fire. 2.) I do believe lost souls continue to suffer in a place most people call hell. Can you imagine how...

Good for you. God bless.

I believe God is an invisible Spirit. There is only one God. A God of miracles. He was able to come into the world appearing as a supernatural presence, which worked among men in the OT. Became known as The Angel of The LORD ... and also as The Father of Israel. This ONE invisible spiritual...

If God had not given his begotten Son the right to forgive sins; if God had not been able to raise the cursed body of Jesus's human flesh; if God had not chosen to give Jesus the right to leave the Holy Spirit in the world for humanity, there could be no regeneration of body and soul. I once...

I appreciate your pointing out the word regeneration. I do believe that through the Holy Spirit in the followers of Christ there is a process of regeneration taking place. For the here and now the Holy Spirit teaches us, helps us have faith, gives us the strength we need to reject acts of sin...

Well, I'm writing to three people on a couple of threads. Perhaps I answered your questions for someone else. Will you list each one your next post please? I'll give them a try but somehow I figure you won't like the answers, but I'm attempting to have a discussion here for a while longer...

No! Some things are actually literal in the Bible. God has an image and he did share the looks of it with Adam. Jesus was not talking about some essence when he clearly said: "When you HAVE SEEN me. You HAVE SEEN the Father. " He was not talking in some mystical figurative manner. The Father...

I believe there is ONE God. He is a Spirit... with POWERS to do miracles!!! He can manifest himself as three identifiable persons of the God Head. HE is they! They are He! [Sorry. To be grammatically correct and to express that the Three are the ONE God I have to use linking verbs and...

At least to the Father and the Son. Holy Ghost ? Haven't formed an opinion on that yet ... Scripture tells us we are the house of this Holy Spirit in us. So, does that mean if he is in me ... his visible form is that of a Woman? If the Holy Spirit is in a man then his outward form would be of a...

Teaming up huh? Funny Let's see what point you two are dying to hear: #4451 I did not see a question there. Just a statement: "Jesus is the Son, not the Father." What part of there being ONE God that you, Judge Rightly, Keiw1 and Clete don't get? All I have done is offered my findings on how...

No problem. 1.) A representation means: an act or instance of representing. IOW, the image represented the presence of God 2. an image, likeness Exactly what I am suggesting. God created an image to represent him. Of course we disagree on this point. Are you suggesting there are things that...

This is what Jesus, John, said and what the religious leaders understood to be the fact: John 5: 16-18 JOHN WROTE: And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. JESUS SAID: But Jesus answered them, "My Father worketh...

Same for you. I think you can also call Eisegesis a discussion among Bible students of what we find in scripture. Sure I have opinions ... so do you. I don't necessarily have an agenda except that I would like to show people what I see in scripture which means something to me. Actually, yes...

I love the definitions above for image for all of these fit my idea of the image of God and how God used it. 1. an engraver (the tool or the person). 2. (by implication) an engraving. 3. (hence) a “character,” the figure stamped. 4. (by extension) an exact copy. 5. (figuratively) a...

There is written truth showing the ONE God chose to have one image. That is made clear in Genesis 1 and 2. God the Spirit was working in Gen. 1 but he mentions his already having an image to share. He states he will share its likeness with Adam. In Genesis 2 The Spirit rests because the Creator...

I disagree with your statement of how I come to my conclusions. I read what others say but until I'm convinced that I am way off base I will stick with my interpretations. I totally agree that All of God took part in Creation. I've attempted to make that point in other things I have written...

We are getting off topic and it is probably my fault, but I am glad that you are interested. Not sure what 'reading into scripture' means to you. To me it means finding keys to unlock truth. Like learning that waters refer to life God has to share ... and that he shares life in measures to...

You and I will disagree on your points above. I will end my discussion by adding a few last points here. You can find the scriptures by searching on you IPhone. What part of these statements do you not accept? When you have SEEN ME you have SEEN The Father. IOW, people saw the bodily...
