    Brother Chris, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and His understanding.

    God is Spirit, HE can never die.

    Christ was the first man CREATED, and Christ WAS GIVEN a BODY. That body can holds the PRESENCE of God.

    Isaiah 63:9 In all their affliction, he was afflicted, and the angel of his (the Father's) presence SAVED THEM: in his love, and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

    Christ emptied himself of God's (the Father's) glory and took on the BODY of SINFUL FLESH, to be (sinful flesh) DESTROYED.

    Sinful flesh died on the cross not Spirit (God).

    Into thy hands I commend my Spirit (there is ONLY ONE SPIRIT).

    Three days later SPIRIT gave back LIFE to the BODY (the resurrected body Christ had from the BEGINNING.

    This same BODY is promised to us by the SPIRIT'S work through Christ (dying as sinful flesh for us).

    GENESIS 1

    14 And God said, Let there be LIGHTS in the firmament of the HEAVEN to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

    15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

    16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the STARS also.

    17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

    18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

    19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

    No offense, but your claims are hollow. God made all provision for mankind. Read Proverbs 8:21-36

    The Bible, the ENTIRE BIBLE; is about a person: JESUS CHRIST. From Genesis to Revelation.

    > IF HE HAD WANTED TO INCLUDE A CHAPTER explaining: space, what's under the oceans, land masses, and all that scientific jazz__no scientists, archaeologists, geologists, Vulcanologists, meteorologists etc would've been able to be BORN AGAIN. Science was to teach them SOMEONE MADE ALL OF THIS!!! Romans chapter 1.

    In saying what you did, as Romans 1 says: You are without excuse. You've kicked the GODHEAD to the proverbial Curb.

    Genesis 1:1

    The Father purposes

    The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)

    The Spirit (Holy Spirit) Action. executes the spoken word.

    You can't imagine anyone greater than you are. Worshipping stars and planets carries a death sentence. I used to be one of those people. And then Jesus appeared to me in a vision. I saw Him.

    2 Timothy 3:5. I was teaching something that had no power. He's the only one who can save you from the darkness just out of our range of sight. You haven't a clue what you are missing out on: Knowing personally the Person who made all of this. Knowing his mind, his heart, his voice in your spirit. Telling you that you are LOVED.

    Very true "Simply true to the word", my "error is astounding", if you don't believe in the deity of Jesus Christ. I do believe that the Word of God (that which proceedeth out of the Mouth of God) became flesh. Since the Word of God & the Father & the Spirit are intrinsically One God, then Who died on the Cross? Jesus died, Who is the Word of God Who proceeded from the very Being of God & is now the visible essence of God.

    But if you believe that Jesus was a created Son of God & never part of the Godhead, then you would be correct.
  • Chris - In Reply on John 1 - 3 years ago
    I believe we are in agreement Sacha, that the Holy Spirit is not a separate Being, but having the very Nature of God, being God's Spirit that He has sent out into the World. The problem arises when the Spirit is perceived to be just a 'force or power' of God, thereby reducing Him to an abstract form. If He is to be God's Spirit, & God sends His Spirit into the world & ultimately indwelling His children, then we can be assured that it is God Himself that engages with the world & with His children. If the Scriptures reveal that the Spirit teaches, guides, contends, or grieves, then it is God Himself Who does this work or has those feelings, because His Spirit in the World is never separated from the One Who sent Him forth.

    In like manner, and of Jesus' position about Whom there is much contention & argument, God has never left His people without His Word & Witness. Whether of Israel or now of those coming in faith through the Cross, God's Word has always been clear & without interruption. As God sent out His Spirit to accomplish His Purposes in the World, so too God has sent out His Word for His people, Israel. But they despised that Word, disobeyed God & served idols. The Word they received was not "mixed with faith", even as those in Hebrews chapter 11 were commended for.

    Therefore, in due time, God once again sent out His Word to His people that they might receive the message, that the Word now given flesh would be the very means for God to forgive & justify sinners through faith in Jesus, His Word. I say all this, to show that even in the giving of Jesus, God was present on Earth in His Son. And that was the great cost of our salvation, that God should lay down His Life for us, because of His Love for us - no other Sacrifice would have worked or been acceptable. And all we have to do is to have faith in that completed Work.

    Therefore, both the Spirit & the Word of God (Jesus) are now & have been vital within the Godhead - without them, God wouldn't be.

    Lily Mcallister on John 1

    Is the Holy Spirit a person?

    Jehovah's is a spirit ( Psalm 83:18; John 4:24). and he made his Angels spirits ( psalm 104:4);

    and he blew his spirit into Adam nostril "the breath of life." when a men or human dies, his breath goes out. and the spirit returns to God (not the flesh itself.. because the body is flesh made from dust - Genesis 2:7).

    the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, these qualities is his spirit. this he has created men in his image to display these qualities to take care of the earth. -

    Galatians 5:22,23

    According to Matthew 28:18-20 Jesus said go therefore baptizing in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit (the accurate term is holy spirit because John 4:24 accurately says spirit). Also, Jesus is not God ( John 5:19) but he was raised up as a spirit again; and he is a Angel.- John 14:28

    Point: God can give his spirit to anyone to serve his purpose- Luke 1:35. if we worship God, we must worship with spirit and truth- john 4:24. anyone who want to worship in truth...should believe in the word of God ( 2 Timothy 3:16,17). by this God will give his spirit and truth will speak.

    To illustrate: person 1, person 2, and person 3 are all different people. God will and can give his spirit to person 2 to carry out a particular task. God may want person 2 to completes that task fully. he may use person 3 or person 1 to do something completely different or accomplish the same purpose. (so yes the spirit basically belongs to God, because he is a spirit and the source of distributing that spirit to accomplish his purpose.- Genesis 1:1,26,27 ). no human can force God to do this or that. he is the boss of the spirit.- Isaiah 43:11-13

    hope these scriptures help.

  • English sacha - In Reply on John 1 - 3 years ago
    Hi Chris , I do not believe that the Holy Spirit is a separate being apart from God Himself . There are so many instances in the Old Testament where God says : I will pour out My Spirit upon them or him etc . It is God's Holy Spirit . We are filled with the Spirit of Christ which is the same Spirit that God gave to Christ without measure , His Holy Spirit . That is why we are allowed to call Him Father , I'm not as good with words as you are which is why I try to keep my posts short and after I read them through I'm often dissatisfied with my efforts . I think that may be why I'm sometimes misunderstood . I don't carefully pick my words or try to fit into an expected mould I just try to say what I believe in my own words . I'm sorry if that offends some people as it is never my intention to do so . I enjoyed your post , thankyou . I am often filled with a burning desire to express myself on here and have to make a serious effort to just say nothing as I know I won't get it out right .
  • Shayne - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    When God said to make man in our image, my understanding is that man is created body ( John 1:14), soul (Gen.2:7) and spirit ( John 4:24). Much like the triune God.
  • Chris - In Reply on John 1 - 3 years ago
    Jesus' prayer to His Father is found in John chapter 17. Sorry, I omitted giving that reference in my last paragraph.
  • Chris - In Reply on John 1 - 3 years ago
    Hello Lily. If we say that the Holy Spirit is a person, some people might think that we believe in two gods. So that word (person) can often be unsuitable or confusing to some.

    It's best to understand the Holy Spirit (& Jesus) as living parts or emanations from the One God. Just as Jesus, before His incarnation (i.e. coming to Earth in human form) was the Word of God ( John 1:1-14), so to the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God sent out to accomplish God's Will. Neither the Word of God (Jesus) nor the Holy Spirit are ever independent of God - all are equally One & eternally One - God wouldn't be Who He is without the Word & the Holy Spirit.

    But when we read in the Bible of the Holy Spirit's Attributes & Work, we are actually seeing God manifesting Himself in the out-working of His Spirit. If you look up the following Scriptures, you can see God the Spirit manifested in a few ways:

    a. He is intelligent ( 1 Corinthians 2:10,11)

    b. He has feelings ( Ephesians 4:30)

    c. He has a will ( 1 Corinthians 12:11)

    d. He teaches ( John 14:26)

    e. He guides ( John 16:13; Romans 8:14)

    f. He commissions ( Acts 13:4)

    g. He commands ( Acts 8:29)

    h. He contends ( Genesis 6:3)

    i. He intercedes ( Romans 8:26)

    So, the Holy Spirit is not simply a force or a power of God, as some want to believe. He is God Himself because He goes about His Work as God desires (i.e. as if God was on Earth doing it). Nothing the Spirit does is contrary or independent of God, just as Jesus on Earth, perfectly fulfilled God's Will through His Words, His Life, His Work, & His Death (you can read Jesus' wonderful prayer to His Father in this respect). I hope that has been a little helpful. May the Spirit (the Living God) help you as you meditate on these things from the Word.

    Precious Yunda, Please Be Encouraged/Edified in This Important "study" of three baptisms:

    God's Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided, 'Shows water' is NOT Under God's GRACE, Today:

    (1) Prophecy/Law for ISRAEL: The Twelve Were Sent to water baptize!

    The TWO Main, of 12 baptisms =

    A) water, For remission of sins/induction into Israeli "priesthood!" {separate "study" IF you wish...} ( Matthew 3:5-6) ( Mark 1:4) ( Luke 3:3) ( John 1:31) ( Luke 7:29-30) ( Acts 10:37) ( Matthew 28:19) ( Mark 16:16) ( Acts 2:38) ( Acts 22:16) ( Ezekiel 36:25) ( John 18:35) ( Exodus 19:6) +

    B) WITH The Holy Spirit, Poured Out By CHRIST, for power, signs And wonders! ( Isaiah 44:3) ( Matthew 3:11) ( Mark 1:8) ( Mark 16:17-18) ( Luke 24:49) ( Acts 2:17-18) ( Acts 2:38) ( Acts 8:15-17) ( Acts 11:16)

    Prophecy/Law

    Rightly Divided ( 2 Timothy 2:15) From Things That Differ!:

    (2) Mystery/GRACE! = our "apostle to the Gentiles" for The Body Of CHRIST:

    Paul Was Not Sent to {water} baptize! Why Not?:

    Today: 'Only ONE' Baptism = "BY" The ONE Spirit = God's OPERATION, Spiritually Identifying members In (The ONE Body Of) CHRIST!! ( Ephesians 4:5) ( Colossians 2:12) ( Galatians 3:27) ( Romans 6:3-4) ( 1 Corinthians 12:13) --------------------------------------------------

    Thus, This ONE Baptism Is Performed, By God, Today, Under God's GRACE/MYSTERY Program, when the believer "confesses Jesus as Lord and Savior and believes that He died and rose again, and God saves them" in the twinkling of an eye.

    Thus, "water baptism" Is Scriptural, But Dispensationally, "was for the Previous Law/Prophecy Program" of God, For ISRAEL!

    Conclusion, water baptism is Scriptural, but, TODAY, is UNdispensational! Amen?

  • You must be born again __Book of John - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Jesus is God. He's part of the Godhead. Romans chapter 1. When he was being tried by the Pharisees, He said: I and my Father are one.

    The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us" in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.

    Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

    Isaiah 6:8

    Romans 1:20

    Colossians 2:9

    Acts 17:27-30

    1 John 5:7

    John 10:30

    "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are without excuse:"

    Genesis 1:1

    The Father purposes

    The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)

    The Spirit (Holy Spirit) executes the spoken word. Action.

    Jesus is returning sooner than we all think. Matthew 24 and Luke 21 give us specific signs to watch for. They will increase near the end of days

    Something else...this world we call home is going to pass away. We know that it's going to end and be renewed to what God created in Genesis. Before we polluted it and destroyed it with greed and technology. 2 PETER CHAPTER 3.

    No sense in trying to save it now as Biden dreams he can with boatloads of tax money. God promised never to flood the World again. But it is going to burn up. It already is beginning. See, beloved children, IT IS NOT GLOBAL WARMING. The earth is responding to the WORD OF GOD.

    It's coming apart now: forest fires, worldwide droughts, polluted ground water from human belligerence; continent sized floating islands of garbage in both hemispheres. Earthquakes and Volcanos, floods: with increasing intensity. FAULTS once thought long dead will become active. As the end wars are fought, we'll see space objects hit earth, our cities. Food will be used against us to force us to take THE MARK OF THE BEAST, ANTICHRIST. One world currency will be forced on us next. One world religion. Individuality, no more.

    Take the Mark=DEATH

    Take Jesus=LIFE ETERNAL
  • Chris - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Hello Thas. No, Jesus didn't lie when He said that only His Father knew of the time of His second appearing. Even though the Word doesn't specifically talk about this subject, i.e. how could a Divine Being come to Earth & not have all His Divine Powers still in His possession, the Scriptures do amply show us of Jesus' Divinity ( John 1:1-14; John 17:4,5; John 6:38 & many more) & Jesus' Mission on Earth ( Matthew 20:28; John 3:16; etc.).

    However, Philippians 2:5-8 gives us vital information: "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." The key word here (for the purposes of your question), is "reputation". In the original Greek, this word is "ekenosen" (from the word, kenosis), which means 'to empty'. So, if Jesus made "Himself of no reputation", the meaning is that 'He emptied Himself' of what He had in His Deity, for the sake of becoming a man, indeed, one of 'servitude' to both God & man, so as to die on a Cross.

    We know that Jesus continued to have Divine Powers (of healing, raising the dead, knowing the thoughts of others, etc.), but there were also certain limitations that He placed on Himself while He was in the flesh on Earth and to be in subjection to His Father (by virtue of His Humanity). The one you quoted is a good example, as also Mark 5:25-32; Luke 4:1 (led of the Spirit). We can then understand that Jesus' coming was also to reveal the Glory of God ( John 1:18) & that to do so, His Own Glory had to be veiled. Therefore, we cannot know why Jesus didn't know the time of His second coming to Earth, except to understand that in His Humanity this knowledge was kept aside - but in Heaven now, He has all His Divine Attributes restored.

    I did not find Heretic in the Bible, I don't remember reading it in other translations. I looked it up & it seems to be a word associated with a religious word for someone that doesn't believe the Biblical text. Not exactly sure?



    I will try answering your question best as I can through scripture:

    1 John 1:9

    John 10:30

    "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are without excuse:"

    Genesis 1:1

    The Father purposes

    The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)

    The Spirit (Holy Spirit) executes the spoken word. Action.

    All working together. Jesus came to show us the Father, as Emmanuel.

    Matthew 1:23

    Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. [Jesus]

    {Comment} Jesus came to bring to each born again believer; the baptism and the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit.

    [ Genesis 1:2, John 3:6, Acts 2:1-3, John 16: 7-15]

    Upon being born again, Jesus gives the Holy Spirit to baptize us, Teach us scripture, comfort us, convict us of sin, enable us to be witnesses. Stay in the New Testament at first. Learn fully who the Son of Man is (Jesus).

    Hello Mishael, thank you for your comments. I am glad you found the Lord. Praise God. Sounds like you went through a lot. Glad you look to God's word for your answers, I think it is sufficient for all problems/solutions. Forgiveness is of utmost importance. Matthew 6:14-15.

    I don't think there are any biblical references to 'forgiving yourself' though. 2 Corinthians 7:10. 1 John 1:9. God forgives us. We repent of our sins with grief and Godly sorrow and place our faith in Jesus. Mark 1:15. Mark 6:12.

    Prayer is absolutely critical, I agree.

    He will speak to us through His word. Romans 6:1-4.

    Thanks again, God bless you and Adam for your responses.

    If you are a born again Christian? You must learn to use the Authority of Jesus Christ to fight against invisible enemies at work in your family. In our own strength, or begging with tears, is not enough to enforce defeat.

    First verify what I just said, by reading Ephesians chapter 6. Many Churches don't teach this. Theres a Pastor on YouTube that does; so view some of Greg Laurie's videos. Find one on spiritual warfare.

    It's hard to answer Why without knowing more of your situation. So first I'm going to ask you, if your home is free from anything that might be an entrance for those invisible beings. A born again Christian is filled with the Holy Spirit. Ask Him to show you anything offensive. Be sensitive in prayer. The Lord's Prayer says, "deliver us from evil". Learn from the Gospels how Jesus responded to people who were being oppressed. He spoke Scriptures. Memorize more scriptures.

    Evil has a name: satan, the devil, his demons. Sometimes he hurts us, by hurting people we love. So fight backwith the Word ( John 1:1)

    Jesus RESTORED to us, everything Adam lost.

    You can ASK GOD for angels to guard your home, car, the people who live there, pets, your finances, everything. Angels hearken to the spoken scriptures. Try reading aloud sometimes.

    We must learn the AUTHORITY OF THE BELIEVER. It's about what happened when Adam and Eve sinned; Adam lost Gods Mandate as "First Adam".

    Jesus is Second Adam. He never sinned while on earth.

    The easiest way to do this is for you to go on YouTube, type: Authority of the Believer, Charles Capps. It's the best teaching anyone can learn. Be sure to click on SAVE. You'll need a few days to absorb the knowledge. Take notes.

    We possess DOMINION over all it describes in Genesis. By going to the Cross, Jesus stripped Satan of his authority to trouble us, and our families. Jesus gave us HIS AUTHORITY.

    I met Charles Capps at church. Save this email so you can write again. Be strong.

    Lex The question is not Gods ability to forgive the question is the persons being honest in their Heart about what they are doing or want. Getting born again and changing is not lip service! God knows everything omnipresent therefore the only one who's being played with is the individual not being honest in His spiritual life or walk with God. Also God does not produce fear or terror 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a sound mind. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Conscience is habit pattern so if you continue in same corrupt habit pattern there has been no change of Heart towards respecting or obeying Gods word. So for that individual the sacrifice made by Jesus christ for sins means nothing, not a good place to be in mentally. So make up your mind 1 John 1:9 In His Service
  • JUST THE GODHEAD SCRIPTURES by mishael - In Reply - 3 years ago
    The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us..." in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.

    Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

    Isaiah 6:8

    Romans 1:20

    Colossians 2:9

    Acts 17:27-30

    1 John 5:7

    John 10:30

    "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are without excuse:"

    Genesis 1:1

    The Father purposes

    The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)

    The Spirit (Holy Spirit) executes the spoken word. Action.

    All working together. Jesus came to show us the Father, as Emmanuel.

    Matthew 1:23

    Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. [Jesus]

    {Comment} Jesus came to bring to each born again believer; the baptism and the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit.

    [ Genesis 1:2, John 3:6, Acts 2:1-3,

    John 16:7-15]

    Upon being born again, Jesus gives the Holy Spirit to baptize us, Teach us scripture, comfort us, convict us of sin, enable us to be witnesses. Stay in the New Testament at first.

    CAUTION: the phrase 'God the Grandson' is NOT in the KJV Bible.

    The word: Grandson is no where in the King James Bible. To teach this to lambs in arms and Gods sheep, is not good.

    Let us all Read, 1 Timothy 6. All of it.

    We all bear the responsibility to teach the truth.

    Read/study the book of John. Jesus has much to say about him and God the Father being one in the same.

    John 1:48, John 3:13, John 5:18 :)
  • Ronald L Whittemore - In Reply on Revelation 13 - 3 years ago
    Hey John,

    Like is said, many people have a plethora of interpretations on Revelation. The word antichrist has developed into a being, along with seven years into a story of fiction. The word antichrist is only in first and second John ( 1 John 2:18,22) (1 John4:3) ( 1John 1:7), if you read, there are billions of antichrists today.

    If you read Revelation there is not one, or two, but three, Satan, the beast, and the false prophet. Satan is cast down to earth Revelation 12; this is permanent because no place is left for him in heaven, he gives his seat, authority, and power to the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit. In Revelation 13 this beast comes out of the sea (bottomless pit) ( Revelation 11:7) ( Revelation 17:8). The second beast (false prophet) Makes image and causes those to worship the first beast and take the mark ( Revelation 13:11-18)

    I am not familiar with J. Vernon Mcgee so I cannot comment on what he said. Many takes Daniel, Mathew and some of Paul and paint some fantastic picture of end time. If you are studying Revelation read it from front to back 5-10 times with no preconceived ideas in your head before you start to study it.

    Many interpretations use scripture and prophecies that have already been fulfilled, pray before you study and let the Holy Spirit lead you. Clear your mind from all the things you have heard and understand that somethings have not been revealed to us as yet. Some things we will not know until they happen.

    Walk in the light,

    Hi Adam The statements I made you have taken entirely out of context your coming across like to fight and I don't do that with Gods Word. We get born again, we are perfect in Gods eyes spiritually, the flesh different ball game. Then we have to renew our minds to Gods Word that's a lifetime. Also we still when we break fellowship need to ask for forgiveness 1 John 1:8-10.

    Those so called christians who think or believe they can do whatever they want have believed a great lie. What you sow is still what you reap. Perhaps this cleared some things up. We still all sin and fall short of the Glory of God it's when you start thinking its not a big deal is when your in hot water. In His Service
