That seems to be a good answer even though it went off track at times.
I still believe that the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit is given to all believers and actually lives in them forever.
John 14:15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another...
God's spirit (Psalms 104:30) is the helper that God sends forth.
I find often in the Bible that personification does Not have to mean or prove to be a person.
(John 14:16; John 14:26; John 15:26; John 16:7-15 )
Even wisdom is personalized and we know wisdom is Not a person.
Nor is 'personalized...

Yes, I would want to know and certainly appreciate it-even if it embarrassed me. John 17:3 mentions the importance to taking in knowledge about God. Consider these scriptures that counsels about obtaining/having accurate knowledge. Romans 1:28; 10:2; Philippians 1:9; Colossians...
This is the worst paraphrase I've ever seen lol . Come on man ,you cannot let the verses say as they read. Look at all the bluster and tap dancing you do to the text
Col 1.16
16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Good grief man ,are you unwell? look at what it says .
The final thrashings of a snake!
John 1:1 is not speaking about Jesus…..
The verses claiming that Jesus created all things are corruptions by trinitarian translators.
Those verses originally stated that ‘GOD created all things’ FOR THE SON.
John 1:3 is speaking about ‘the word of God’, which...
Thanks for the clarification. Your additional words sounds like we are saved for something in our future.
Why can’t we be saved here on earth? Why can’t we be saved right now?
Eternal life does not need to begin after our death. Why can’t it begin today?
One more thing: it seems...
@Jeremiah Ames Yes Jesus Christ paid the sins on the cross once and for all people. (Hebrews 10) I believe He paid for the sins past, present, and future. Sorry you do not understand what it means to be saved to the kingdom of the Son/Heaven/Heavenly Jerusalem.
I have a scripture though that...
Saved the world from its sins "IF" ( notice the word "IF" as found at 1 John 1:7 )
This is why Matthew 20:28 says Jesus' ransom covers MANY and does Not say all.
This is a great question: I believe Jesus Christ saved the world from it sins. Okay that is one thing about being saved. This is for all people even people who have yet to make the choice to believe and trust God and Jesus.
So basically; We are also saved from the blackness and darkness of our...
Hello Blu2 thank you for your comment.
Its okay, just curious what you mean by this. I guess He couldn't do it because it was mans mistake: and the Word of God came in to correct what man had messed up which was once had in the Garden.
Now anyone can have a relationship with God if they...
WHY was it necessary for Jesus to die?
To pay for the sins ( 1 timothy 2:1-6) of mankind world by fulfilling the (Matthew 5:17-20)Old Testament Law and Prophecy. So that now (in todays world) anyone who believes on the Lord Jesus Christ can become a child of God (John 1:12). Through the Lord...
AI, artificial.
P AI N, says a human being male, through his historical adult male life, Father of science, the artificial designer of it, who controls what AI does in machinery by his choice/volition. The machine, an artificial body of metal owns no volition.
So then you would place thought...
“Your word is truth” John 17:17
The inspired word of God indicates that humans are not completely capable of arriving at knowledge of 'truth' by themselves: “It does not belong to man who is walking to direct his steps” -Jeremiah 10:23
Sense experience, feelings and affective intuitions are...
I don't think that's a good argument. You never have seen any of those scary movies where the monster turns into liquid or gas and goes through a keyhole to the other side then turns back into a body?
Scripturally I would say " water ' because the Bible compares God's spirit to water at Isaiah 44:3.
When God 'pours out' His spirit upon people they become ' full of holy spirit ' ' filled with holy spirit' - Luke 1:15; Luke 4:1; Acts of the Apostles 4:8; 9:17; 11:22,24; 13:9.
The Bible also...

You can believe what you want. But it was the one and only God who took on flesh and shed his blood for man. God is a Spirit (John 4:24) and didn't have blood to shed for man's sin. So he made himself a human body to dwell in and sacrifice. He was the Father of that body so he could call it...
What's not true? This?
As far as I can tell, it is true.
You quoted the WT, that verifies the statement is correct.
Homosexuality is definitely condemned in the Bible as something that will prevent individuals from gaining God’s approval. (1 Cor. 6:9, 10)...
While both homosexuality and...
Good point Deeje.
