    In the King James Version there is no incarnation, but here is the definition for incarnation - a person who embodies in the flesh a deity, spirit, or abstract quality. (in Christian theology) the embodiment of God the Son in human flesh as Jesus Christ. John put it this way

    John 1: 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

    2The same was in the beginning with God.

    1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

    1 John 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

    We as christains say the word was manifested in a fleshly form. The word that was spoken to mary was manifested into a flesh and blood as a baby.

    God Bless

    I'm sorry for your loss of friends during this difficult time. I'm sure it's even more troubling for you because of that.

    I do not believe it to be the 'time" nor 'mark' However I Believe we are to be wise. Psalms 2:10,Teaching our children. Deuteronomy 11:19.The scripture does say 'hand or forehead" Revelations 13:11-18, please read around scripture for best context. Unless translation could mean arm, it's not clearly "the mark of the beast". I think the reason many are alarmed about this is

    1st because of ingredient in vaccination, Psalms 106:29, Psalms 36-39

    2nd whistle blowers coming forth with evidence of ungodly acts in testing, ingredient & side-affects

    3rd the division it's caused & causing in Church & society

    4th The Forcefulness of it all, losing ability to work, travel in some cases

    5th The targeting of the T-cells, and cells that give space for communication with GOD, discovered by scientific study, (Reported 2009). Even having immediate side-affects

    6th possibly most troubling for some: 1st P. C. developer bought pharmaceutical & Biotechnology ''vaccination' developer. Then filed for patent : WO/2020/060606 for: Cryptocurrency using body activity.

    Please don't panic. 1 John 4:18,

    Mark 13:22, Mark 13:5-37, several of those have yet to happen. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-13, could the great falling away be those who put all faith in rapture? Revelations 6:8-11, John 17:1-20, holdfast during trial Matthew 24:13, Matthew 24:4-51,

    What is worship? Is it adoration, admiration, time given to, consuming, looking into intently, loving? Some feared computers were "the beast" the image of the beast? Cell phones or 'computer chips" The other day I wondered what it looks like to GOD seeing so many faces looking into devices, not up to HIM. Let us Worship only GOD ALMIGHTY, creator of Heaven & Earth.

    Hopefully this is helpful in your research of Truth. I will pray for you also & sad for your loss & heaviness for loved ones being deceived. Peace to you

    Hello Blaine One scripture example of your answer Acts 5:32 the Holy Ghost or Hagion pneuma [separate wind or breath ]whom God hath given to them that obey him, the gift form the Giver. Also holy spirit also translated

    holy [set apart by God] spirit wind or breath which ties in with John 4:24 which what God is Spirit and we were given His Gift, holy spirit. I like spirit better because ghost makes it sound mystical, that's just opinion. They are both the same.

    I'm not understanding your question/statement. I'm not sure which pastors you speak of. Riots that happened early 2020?

    Anti mask? Antivax? These five you've quoted Can't, in truth, be lumped together. Let's address the first 2.=

    GOD made us in HIS image, we reflect HIS glory, HE didn't create humanity with masks. HE created us with an immune system. We are to go about with unveiled faces. We are to live by faith & not fear. Many discussions have been had on this site about these issues.

    Revelations 21:8,

    Ecclesiastes 37:11, John 2:13-17

    USA We The People are the Governing Authority & by Duty, are required to right the "government" when they usurp their authority.

    The last 3 labels Antilove,- charity, ect, clearly are not of Christ.

    1John 4:18, 2 Timothy 3:15-17,

    Tony Spirit is not passed at birth, when any human is born he is body and soul, the only exception to this that

    I'm aware of is John the baptist, even Jesus Christ was not born with Spirit, John 1:32. When an individual gets

    born again he receives that which he didn't have before holy spirit eternal life Gods Gift. Now some believe the

    spirit and soul are the same.

    Spirit life is eternal where as when you take your last breath that's the end of sou life , Genesis 2:7 God formed man, gave him shape then breathed into his nostrils breath of life and he became a living Soul

    it is believed by some since God is Spirit that is what he breathed in man. In Genesis 1:27 God created man in His own

    Image and In the Gospel of John 4:24 Jesus Christ said God Is Spirit. So man in the beginning was body soul and spirit

    when man sinned in Genesis He lost his Most important part His Spiritual connection with God which was bought back by Jesus Christ.

    We Do, We put it on.

    With it we're well equipped.

    If we think we can do anything more than that, We're taking it off!!

    We would fail like Peter did when the Desciples were absent of the Holyspirit.

    Redemption has been settled on the cross.

    The Armor is to do exactly what it says it does.

    Ephesians 6:11. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may BE ABLE TO STAND AGAINST THE " WILES " ( Schemes )OF THE DEVIL.

    Satan doesn't come to you as a wolf! He comes to you as a wolf in SHEEP'S CLOTHING.

    Satan is subtil. That's how he approached Eve. " Now the serpent was more " SUBTIL " than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. Genesis 3:1."

    But the Lords sheep don't hear his voice!!

    Jesus is the chief shepherd and those who shepherd his flock will show the fruit of the Spirit not the works of the flesh.

    "No coveting the glory in Christ victory"

    When someone is in the Spirit they want speak much of themselves, They will speak of the Work of Christ on the Cross.

    Worshipping in truth and in Spirit is CAUSED by the Holyspirit.

    Here's the only weapon we have, The word of God!!

    And it's not given to you to use to bind Demons!!

    It's given to you to minister the gospel and "IT" will divide asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, I believe That happens when you are QUICKENED by it..

    Our flesh is also our enemy. The flesh can become super sensual when ministering in the flesh and lacking the spirit.

    I'm Sorry but we're just going to have to agree to disagree on this one.

    1 John 4:4. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

    God bless

    Gigi In regards to what we were talking about I will refine what I stated God is Spirit John 4:24, what we were

    given on pentecost is what man lost in Genesis his spiritual connection with God when he sinned. Now I'm fully

    aware that some believe that the soul is spirit and spirit is soul. That being said I read in Genesis 2:7 Lord God formed

    man dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. In Genesis 3

    when God said to man the day you eat of the tree thou shalt surely die he lost the most important part His Spiritual

    connection with God. That is what was gotten back on pentecost when it became available to receive the Gift of Holy

    therefore man again is a three part being. So I'm not at all saying we are perfect and have God inside us that's fallacy

    and I notice someone else is buying that unfortunately. We were given freely His gift that we operate and the God

    given enablements of that gift when walking in the faith of jesus Christ. Our biggest pain is the flesh so we have a

    spiritual inner man who's there to help against the man of the flesh who's the antagonist. The battle is the mind, either

    we walk on the word or we succumb to the flesh. Now the people who want argue this I have no time for but If someone

    wants to reason I'm game. I was not raised with any religious belief system which I have found to be actually

    beneficial because I had no preconceived ideology on what to believe about Gods Word. That being said I have done extensive studies for 45 years on what others have written and worked some of the original languages it was

    translated from which is very enlightening to do. Because equally educated men have different beliefs on same subject matters. Again I believe what I believe, because in my life I have lost count of the

    signs, miracles, and wonders that follow those that simply believe and act on It Is Written. God Bless

    Amen Sister GiGi.

    As we fellowship we come together to grow in all areas of the faith, At the moment we may not be able to agree on all things, But some day we will. But that doesn't mean we should yield to false doctrine or false teachers. In fact Revelation ch 2 and 3 we're being judged for suffering these false teachings to creep in.

    Revelation 2:20. Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou "SUFFERETH" that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

    Revelation 2:14. But I have a few things against thee, BECAUSE THOU HAST THERE ( THEM ) that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

    Have you noticed The Lord is not condemning them for holding the doctrine of Balaam, He's condemning them for having those there that do!! And like so with jezebel.

    Have you noticed when we're liberal we get alone with everyone and they get alone with us. But when truth and the straight and narrow way is presented then there comes the train wreck! You will see hate without a cause!!

    Some blend in quite well, Some loose all self control and attack even the newcomers.

    A believer that has been spiritualy born should bare fruit!! And the Spirit should CAUSE those who are in Christ to Love one another. Not join themselves to everyone who comes on the site and attack the faith! Agape/ Love for the brothern is something the flesh cannot do, .

    Why is there so much fuss about doctrine but no fuss at all what sincere milk should cause you to do?

    1 John 4:21. And this commandment have we from him, THAT HE WHO LOVETH GOD LOVE HIS BROTHER ALSO.

    Have you noticed it doesn't say "SHOULD" Love his brother!! It's saying that Love given to Love God is "CAUSING" you to Love your brother also!!

    GOD BLESS.
  • Rick - In Reply on Hebrews 4 - 4 years ago
    Hi Jean It is available for all believers to manifest or display power from on high Speaking in tongues, Jesus Christ spoke about this when addressing the samaritan woman when in John 4:23 +24 he said But the hour cometh and now is when the true worshipers shall worship the father in spirit and in truth for the father seeketh such to worship him. God is Spirit

    and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth or truly by the spirit. That was the first display of

    Gods spirit working on the day of pentecost birthday of the age of Grace. Some say special gift some say doesn't exist anymore some say not needed. 1 Corinthians 12 : Paul went from gift to in verse 7 to manifestation of the gift, it is a great benefit to the believer spiritually it is personal prayer between you and father not to be done out loud or out

    of order because all things of God are done decent and in order This is not to say that believers who don't speak in tongues don't believe or love God, that is biblically not sound. My bible says confess Romans 10:9+10 and believe in your heart and act on Gods Word. My understanding
  • Earl Bowman - In Reply on Hebrews 12 - 4 years ago
    Brother Dan, the throne of God is a LITERAL PHYSICAL place, CHRIST IN YOU. As Christ is the throne of his Father, because the Father indwells Christ, Christ indwells you, making you the THRONE of the Father, Son and you.

    Revelation 3:21 To him that overcometh, I will grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

    Isaiah 66:1 Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool:

    Revelation 21:1 And I saw a NEW HEAVEN..... the NEW dwelling place and the NEW throne of God..CHRIST IN YOU

    Isaiah 66:1 ........where is the THE HOUSE ye built unto me

    Hebrews 3:6 ...But Christ as a son over his own house, whose HOUSE WE ARE

    Isaiah 66:1 .......and where is my place of REST.....The Father and His Son Jesus Christ and YOU are at REST TOGETHER in the NEW heaven, the NEW temple made without hands, the NEW place of worship ( John 4:19-22).

    Cease from your works as God has ceased from his works, the WORKS were FINISHED at the cross.

    The only LABOUR left is to bring man TO KNOWLEDGE

    Isaiah 5:13 Therefore my people go into captivity, because they have no KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitudes dried up with thirst.

    The Bible say in John 4:24 that God is a Spirit. And in psalm 104:4 God maketh his angels spirits. If the only begotten Son of God is in heaven now at the right hand of the father. Then can anybody show with scripture what is the nature of the only begotten Son of God in heaven now with his father.

    Sister GiGI, you are correct, doctrines are TEACHINGS, that man accepts as TRUE, but are those teachings TRUE. Man has TEACHING that CONTRADICT GOD'S WORD, thus those TEACHINGS are not TRUE. ( Revelation 12:9)

    Man believes salvation is his choice and not God's choice, contradicting scriptures. Man TEACHES this.

    John 15:16 You have not chosen me but I have chosen you, and ordained you ..... Man does not TEACH this.

    1 John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that God sent the Son to be Saviour of the world. Man TEACHES the SON is going to fail saving the world because it's man's choice and not God's Choice. Man TEACHES this. ( Revelation 2:24)

    1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the SAVIOUR OF ALL MEN (even those that don't believe in this AGE ( Romans 9:18-21), specially those that believe (in the AGE).

    1 Timothy 4:11 These things (saviour of all men) COMMAND AND TEACH. Many are called (to teach this) FEW are chosen.

    Man TEACHES that those who don't CHOOSE Christ are going to HELL. Man TEACHES this. These TEACHINGS contradict all the above scriptures. ( Revelation 12:9).

    Thy KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE.

    Psalms 22:27 ALL the ENDS of the WORLD shall remember and TURN unto the LORD: and ALL the kindreds of the nation shall WORSHIP before thee.

    Revelation 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that setteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

    Man not only does man NOT teach this, they don't BELIEVE this is TRUE. ( Revelation 12:9)

    1 Corinthians 15:28 And when all things have been subdued unto him. then shall the son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be ALL IN ALL.

    Man does not TEACH this nor even believe it ( Revelation 12:9).

    Continued: The Gospel of the Kingdom: Jesus and the 12 preached the gospel (good news) of the Kingdom at THAT time ( Matthew 4:17, Matthew 9:35, Acts 3:19). Which was for the Jew only ( Matthew 10:5,6: Luke 9:10 Matthew 15:24; John 4:22; Matthew 18:11; Romans 15:8) Appropriated by repentance, baptism, faith plus works. The content of the gospel of the Kingdom was Jesus was Israel's promised Messiah, the Son of God. " And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the Kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. Matthew 9:35 The apostle Peter's profession of faith was that he believed Jesus was in fact the Christ, the Son of God. Not that Jesus died for our sins, was buried and rose from the dead three days later. No way, how could that be Jesus was still alive. And the gospel of grace wouldn't be revealed for another 10 years. Yes, of course. Everything is based on the finished work of the cross but in time, at that time ,that was all Peter or any other Jewish person was to believe for salvation. "He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven," Matthew 16:15-17 The gospel of the Kingdom began with John the Baptizer and ended during the Acts period ( Acts 15:11) The gospel of the kingdom will pick up again when the body of Christ is raptured and the Lord turns His attention back to Israel and the Kingdom gospel and the 490 years prophesied in Daniel 9. Also known as the tribulation, Jacob's Trouble, or Daniel's 70th week." And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come". Matthew 24:14 To be continued, conclusion:

    Chris asked if someone can share prophetic today. I've been researching that since sometime 2019-presently. There is a website called Elijah List, it has several 'prophetic words' listed for multiple years of several "Prophets" I have been able to read many then go back to check older archived words. I prayerfully read many some have been accurate. Two people really stand out today as very accurate propheticly Hank Kunneman & Amanda Grace both have been very accurate about several things. The things that were most accurate that came to pass Pastor Hank Kunneman said 2018 they wouldn't be successful in 'impeachment' that they would try twice both would fail, that the decade would start off harsh, last year snow in unusual places to be a sign that GOD hears our cries & HE will cleanse ._.etc. Amanda Grace, Ark of Grace Ministries said High tech CEO's would resign right before Bezos did, said NY Como would be caught up in scandal & resign, warning him to repent. Then said because he didn't his own party would turn against him & he would resign this year.

    Further researching I found Bob Jones & John Paul Jackson both deceased had propheied about "a perfect storm" coming to America which both were uncomfortably accurate they explained it to be s combination of many elements of Government,financial, real storms, financial, racial unrest, fires in our streets. Jackson even spoke of the storm being about 300 miles wide "Dorian"?

    Even with accurate prophecy please remember the WORD of GOD Jeremiah 27 & 28, Hosea 12:13, 1 Kings 13, Ezekiel 14:1-10, Matthew 10:41, Deuteronomy 18:15-22, John 4:44, Luke 4:24, * Deuteronomy 13:1-5, Joel 2:28, Acts 2:17-19

    Hopefully all this is helpful in your research.

    I take it to believe "yea", may not be him rejoicing but even that, has scripture backing Philippians 4:4-9, James 1:2-4, 1 John 4:18,

    even if we walk in/near death we should not fear because GOD promises to be with us (that trust in HIM) Deuteronomy 31:8, Hebrews 13:5-6, John 14:16-21, Psalm 139:1-24, Psalms 37:40,

    The rod; Proverbs 13:24, Job 21:9, Proverbs 29:15, Lamentations 3:1, many times references discipline, correction: Proverbs 22:15, Proverbs 23:14, Proverbs 3:12, Hebrews 12:4-8-11, Staff: Hebrews 11:21, Zechariah 8:4, Exodus 21:19, Numbers 22:27, 2 Samuel 3:29, Judges 6:21

    The downfall in Genesis God created man in His Image in the beginning Gods Image is Spirit I.E. John 4:24 not flesh and blood he formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into him the breath of life and man became a living soul. The teaching the seeds of death were put in man is false, Gods spirit which is life giving and life energizing is what Adam and Eve lost their spiritual connection with God for disobedience. That's why they became full of fear and no longer had soundness of mind. That's what is stated in 2 Timothy 1:7 that God has not given us fear but power and love and sound mind. In Genesis after the fall God lovingly had to clothe them and prepare them for the world they had to face because of their disobedience. Eve when she bare Cain thought she bore a child from God but in contrast became the first murderer, he wasn't born that way he became that way. When you look up the descendants of cains line or men who as it says in Jude verse 11 the ones who went the way of cain these are men who got spiritually born of the wicked one not by physical seed it is spiritual, that is why in John 8:44 Jesus Christ said to these spiritually corrupt men ye are of your father the devil it is not a physical birth it is a spiritual birth. That's also why he said you will die in your sin they are unredeemable. In the old testament they were men of belial or worthless men or men of the earth. This is all part of our spiritual battle. Some will disagree with this and that's there privilege. Just keep something in mind everything the true God has done the enemy tries to duplicate.

    Thank you brother for sharing what you did - I'm sure that you have also been a great encouragement for us to seek the Lord with all of our being, to please Him in every area of our lives, & to make His Love known to all who give us an ear.

    There is one aspect of reading the whole Bible & therefore gaining a working knowledge of its contents and another aspect of knowing all the intracacies of biblical Truth. I don't believe that on this side of Heaven, anyone can claim such knowledge, for often that runs very deep & we are not privy to all the circumstances, the people & the background in those accounts. Indeed, we need to always grow in the knowledge of the Word, but that takes time & shouldn't be an excuse to prohibit us from reaching out to others.

    You have a very genuine love for the Lord & to share that love with others. Your testimony, your full belief in the Truth of the Gospel & the power therein ( Romans 1:16), & a readiness to speak with people where they're at in their lives, offering them the hope that you also have in Christ, is all you need. God's Spirit in you will surely delight to use you, for this is the very reason for His Coming ( John 16:8): to speak forth the Good News to those sitting in darkness ( Luke 1:79) - that you might be His mouthpiece to declare the Glory of God & of His Son & shine His Light. Yes, there will be testing times (Satan does not appreciate his dark evil domain being infused with God's Light), but "greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world" (1 John 4:4). Do you believe that brother? Then you can trust Him for not only that power to witness, but to minister to your family needs, job situation, rejection by others, & so on. Faith is indeed the victory that overcomes the world ( 1 John 5:4) & the Spirit in you knows this & will honour His Presence & His Word - that you will lack nothing & remain fearless in your walk in Christ. I leave this great Benediction with you - in Hebrews 13:20,21. Every blessing.

    Earl With all due respect that contradicts Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, also Ephesians 2:2 also 1 John 4:1-3 how many times is spirit mentioned. Spirit of truth and spirit of error cannot come from same source. That's my conclusion to this matter God bless.

    1 John 4:12

    NO man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

    The Holy Spirit is SPIRIT.

    Jesus's skin color at birth would look like Mary's DNA contribution.

    As with anyone, people who are exposed to sun too much have darker skin, than their normal skin color.

    Another verse says that no man may look upon God and live.

    No offense, but I feel people spend way too much time contemplating skin colors.

    I'm a life long observer of skin/hair colors. Early in life I was an artist for a time. God formed us. Our hair color is the perfect color for skin tone. When people dye their hair, it never complements the skin color. Our skin has pigments in it, like paint; but somewhat luminescent.

    For me, I can't see any beauty in tattoos. Art is for canvas & other mediums. It's a pity to think we can improve on what God made.

    Skin color used to be beautiful, but now it's political. Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus.

    You are replying to a comment by "Vickie Moller"

    Jesus Christ sent Paul ( Acts 9:15) to preach about his name. Jesus Christ

    means in Hebrew "Jehovah is Salvation" ( John 3:16,17; Psalm 83:18)

    so Paul was taking the lead and many other qualified men were appointed

    to lead the congregations or "Churches KJV". 1 Timothy 3

    According to Acts 2 man and woman fulfilled the prophecy at Joel 2:28

    during a day of Pentecost ( Acts 2:16-18). All were filled with the holy spirit ( john 4:24)

    were all at the same time speaking in tongues. (multitudes heard in his own language

    Acts 2:1,3,6)

    Paul was maybe trying to explain that the congregation is not that event.( 1 Corinthians 12:27-31)

    that they must speak or prophecy one at a time. to keep the congregation in order. 1Corinthians 14:33.

    However, because a man is the head of his wife. a wife remains silent in the congregation ( 1Tim. 2:12).

    if she wants to ask a question about something. she should not become authoritative within

    the congregation or church (if she doesn't understand something, she should go to her husband).

    1 Corinthians 14:35

    Ephesians 5:21-24

    if someone is single. then the head would be Jesus Christ because he is the head of the man (Jesus Christ has appointed qualified men to shepherd the congregation John 21:17. if a woman is single or not married, she can

    go to the one taking the lead, and they can pray for her.

    James 5:14-16

    1 Samuel 1:9-18; Luke 10:38-42;

    Acts 20:28; 1 Timothy 3

    Regarding woman and head covering, according to 1 Corinthians 11:5,8;

    if her husband is present, she covers her head if she is preaching or praying.

    if her husband is not present and she preaches and prophecies or prays to God,

    then she should cover her head as a sign of authority because of the angels.

    this is what the scripture says. I can't tell you anything other

    1 Corinthians 11:2-3;8-10; 1Tim. 2:12

    1 Corinthians 11:1,2,16 "keeping the order as delivered to them"

    "we have no custom of being contentious about"

    In regards to 1 Thessalonians 4:17 and the resurrection of the church of the Body of Christ whether asleep or alive, when a believer falls asleep His spirit goes back to God who gave it, Hence born again of Gods spirit. Man was originally Created in Gods image which is Spirit John 4:24 God Is Spirit. The soul life Genesis Chapter 2:7 God breathed into man the breath of life and man became a living soul so when man takes his last breath that's the end of his soul then the body unto dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt return. From what I've seen soul and spirit get some how made the same thing when they are not biblically. When we are born we are body and soul without God and without hope, then when we get born again we have our spiritual connection with God which which was lost in Genesis and bought back by Jesus Christ making it available to become sons and daughters of God. When Christ returns for His body the Church we will be resurrected in perfect bodies not like what we have now. Incredible future to look forward to.

    I'm looking for the scripture that speaks of our new bodies where we worship God not as husbands and wives. We will no longer be married but that we will know each other as brothers and sisters ! We no longer love each other as man and wife physically!

    If one quotes a scripture, wouldn't it be from the word of God and

    not from men or woman.

    But if the bible is not quoted from the bible;

    would wisdom still be of much value?

    Jesus quoted his fathers words perfectly ( John 8). and the prophets

    spoke from God ( Psalm 83:18)

    Who is much wiser? Who is wiser to instruct mankind?

    God ( Psalm 83:18) and his Son?

    2 Timothy 3:16,17;

    2 Peter 1:20,21 (holy spirit John 4:24)

    John 17:3

    John 14:6-28

    Psalm 1:1-3

    or

    Men and many books?

    Jeremiah 10:23

    Romans 3:23

    Ecclesiastes 12:12-14

    Psalms. 146:3, 4

    Hope you like

    these scriptures.

    RESPONDING TO Victor Anyanwu on Philippians 1 asked...

    An unsaved person told me yesterday he was told "there is nothing like rapture" Is it true?

    You are replying to a comment by "Victor Anyanwu"

    Hello Victor,

    1 Thessalonians 4:13-17

    verse 16: these Dead in Christ shall rise first. for example:

    1. ( John 11:11) Lazarus he died again

    2. ( Acts 7:55,59, 60) Stephen after saying this, he fell asleep in death. (the vision he saw was in heaven)

    3. ( 1 Corinthians 15:6) 500 seen Jesus appear after his death. but some of

    them died.

    4. Some of Jesus apostles died of old age, most died under roman oppression (by the "ad." "c.e." Jews)

    (they were put in prison like Paul as you brought out in Philippians 1), some died in captivity.

    Verse 17: Those alive or remain will like Jesus will go to heaven.

    ( Revelation 14:3/ 144,000). notice the first died. if the second is to be caught up together with them.

    they will have to die from flesh...to be taken from earth. ( Acts 1:9,10; Revelation 20)

    so no... rapture is not a word in the bible. when Jesus was impaled the scripture said

    after that his spirit ( Matthew 27:50 invisible/ john 4:24) yielded up. no human can see the spirit.

    ( Jas. 2:26)

    Hopefully this helps

    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.

    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.
