The Word Made Flesh

[jamie]

Are their spirits dead or still alive?

James defines death as the separation of body and spirit (James 2:26).

James defines death as the separation of body and spirit (James 2:26).

How does the Spirit of truth define death?

 

[Word]

There are spirits who have no body.

 

[Word]

Is God the Father of all spirits?

Hey Word,

what is your point?

Hey Word,

what is your point?

He claims to be a Christian, so I think he is playing.

:cow: No matter how good a teacher is, it's not possible to teach algebra to a cow.

[Aletheiophile]

Oh I take that back...

What is the number for infinity?

There I gave you the correct number to represent God.

Infinity is not a number. It is unquantifiability.

 

[Aletheiophile]

A spirit or any spirit for that matter has life.
Therefore it cannot be created.
Unless you believe that God created Himself
for God is life and the origin of all life.

To be a spirit with life
you have had to be born.

So that brings me back to this question...

Is God the Father of all spirits?

If not then who else is besides God?

These are some basic mistakes that can be cleared up by understand the Hebrew and Greek terms for these words.

 

[Aletheiophile]

The word "adoption" is used in Romans 8:15 which says: "For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, 'Abba, Father.'"

However, the word adoption should have been translated as sonship. We are sons by begettal of the Spirit, not adoption. The first son of the Father was adopted, not begotten (Exodus 4:22).

Jesus said we must be born of the Spirit (John 3:3). The word "born" is the Greek gennao, which means to procreate.

In Acts 13:33 the same word (gennao) is translated begotten. The meaning of gennao must be determined by the context in which it is used.

Many people claim they are "born again" when in fact they are only spiritually begotten. Spiritual reproduction parallels physical reproduction, but without sex since the person already exists.

How about...no armstrongism.

 

[Aletheiophile]

There are seven symbolic groups of believers. Five groups have problems which Jesus addressed and two did not have problems and had no correction.

????? Out of where did this arise?

 

[Word]

Infinity is not a number. It is unquantifiability.

Not to God it is not.

You do not have to understand any language of man to know the truth.

I know the language of the Spirit.

To which passes all understanding.

 

[Aletheiophile]

Not to God it is not.

...That's the definition of the word. You can't redefine it.

 

[Word]

...That's the definition of the word. You can't redefine it.

Can't is not in the language of the Spirit.

 

[Aletheiophile]

You do not have to understand any language of man to know the truth.

I know the language of the Spirit.

To which passes all understanding.

Except that Christ says, "Thy Logos is truth." Logos is speech, discourse, thought, and expression. If Logos is truth, words are pretty important.

But if you are going to refuse the wisdom of 2000 years of church doctrine, then go ahead.
