To see what any might have to say on the subject. If yes is all you have to offer, then I guess that is it. Neither, matt.6.22, The eye is the lamp of the body if your eye is sound your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is not sound your whole body will be full of darkness, if then the light in you is darkness how great the darkness. Luke 11:34-36 The eye is the lamp of your body, when your eye is sound your whole body is full of light but when it is not sound your body is full of darkness. Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright as when as lamp with it's rays gives you light. Let's see nothing about "wicked", or "simple". How do you believe I have made it meaningless? But if the light in you be darkness then how great the darkness. What do you think this means?
I thought your "Spirit" had taught you all things, so why would you have to ask? Did I say that is all I had to offer? No. So why do you assume so? So then, you have completely deviated from what the Bible says? By diverting away from the scriptures. Perhaps it means that you have turned aside from the healthful teachings and have been substituting your own teachings.
Isn't this bible questions 3? I don't assume so. That is all you offered, "yes I do". If you think that is good food or information you are odd. Why do you say that, I give quotes directly, exactly as written, and lo and behold it turns out you say, "so then, you have completely deviated from what the bible says." You are not making any sense. What scriptures, explain your meaning. I asked you what it meant to you. I did not ask you what it might mean for me.
" Not to say I have all answers but I'll try and look it up.Also I'd be interested in the answers others have found for these and other Bible questions." This thread seemed to have had an good idea in the beginning thoughts,but has become a place of complete argument.A young convert may say that the love of God can only be found in the words of the Bible,but a seasoned christian understands that God also speaks through the eyes of a child or the face of the down trodden. "I think more of a place for reading different answers to questions,than a place for arguing over the answers.Although I can see some discussion of the answers" "Some discussion"? As I have followed this thread,for a while,I have seen very little in the way of answers that may instruct.Most of what I have read is an attempt of one to appear more versed and thus stand in an honored position.The Lord said that the greatest amoung us would be the servants,not the best at "Bible trivia"
Yes it is and my question to you is why do you have to ask Bible questions? seems simple enough. That is all I offered because that is all you asked. A simple follow up question would have gotten the information you wanted but you didn't ask. It is you that does not seem to be making any sense. You requoted the verses that I had mentioned. matt.6.22, The eye is the lamp of the body if your eye is sound your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is not sound your whole body will be full of darkness, if then the light in you is darkness how great the darkness. Luke 11:34-36 The eye is the lamp of your body, when your eye is sound your whole body is full of light but when it is not sound your body is full of darkness. Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright as when as lamp with it's rays gives you light. and then implied that somehow they support your statement; they If darkness is what you see, is the light or seeing in you, how great the darkness. They just don't. Please, that is what I have done all along and now you act like it's never happened, you can do better than that. I can help if you don't like the answers I give.
You might like to check out Bible questions I & II and even the beginning of III but since thedope showed up not many have asked Bible questions and so I have continued this discussion with him until someone asked another question. I think even a young convert should believe that "the love of God can only be found in the words of the Bible", the love of God can be found many places. Every christian should know that the Bible says; For his invisible [qualities] are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship (Romans 1:20) So we can learn much about God without the Bible but the purpose of the Bible is to tell us things we need to know that can not be learned from observing creation. Did you have a question that would be instructive?
O.T. You once told me that you didn't believe in the trinity, and I have considered this for quite some time.However I can not understand this position,so I would like to ask you this.How can one speak on the Son of God as more than a man,or the workings of the Holy Spirit without believing in the power of the trinity?Again no tricks, it is just something that I haven't been able to grasp.

The Holy spirit teaches us all things. Unless you feel that you know all there is to know there is always something to be learned. Could you set aside your personal animosity long enough to honestly answer a question? And you apologize for your answers being insufficient. Why do you ask that we jump through this hoop. Any body can look up scripture. I don't care that you feel you have an answer, I want to know what it is. If the light in you be darkness, then how great the darkness, yes it does.
The concept of the trinity or, Ray of creation, Predates the Judeo christian bible. The bible itself is hand me down from more ancient understanding, a compilation of intercultural development. The ray of creation is described in religious terms as Father, Son and Holy spirit. In metaphysical terms it is expressed as Thought, Word, Deed. And in a more modern parlance, we may describe a reality sandwich of the absolute, quantum, and physical.
I can assure you Tanasi that I do not find argument an honored position to be in, However, as long as there is one lonely voice in this world I will be there to answer it. I'm looking for solution, equal measure. We are in fact attended here amongst ourselves by the Holy spirit. I hear calls for patience, for peace, for brotherly love, with every agonized phrase.
Are you saying, that you don't think the Father,the Son and the Holy spirit are not real entities? But only exist in the metaphysical sense?
I am saying that all existence exists only in the metaphysical sense. By metaphysical I mean of the essential nature of reality. There is no form that defines truth, truth is represented by all form. I do not have a homo centric view of life principle. I view all as emanating from God, everything is energy.
O.K. I must be missing something, because I thought you said Jesus wasn't a real tangible person."no form defines truth"
Do you, on the other hand, thedope, understand the concretely plausible from the actually real in another man's mind for what you read of Him? Now that would be something metaphysical too. But first of all a gift for working out because of the divine seplicer? Existence must be word connected in itself, and therefore, we are on the plane of concern for the Reading of the Bible per being understood for Reality which is actual, never appreciable enough in concreto.
Every constituent of the bible has modern a modern face. Today, right now exist in the world every character of man and each man demonstrates every character. Jesus never offered himself as an object of worship but as an example of truth. Heaven and earth shall pass away but the truth that Jesus speaks will not. The mind that is in christ Jesus is in the world as we speak. The word becomes flesh. It is not the body that provides but animus animates animal. It is not flesh and blood with which we contend but principalities and powers. Everything you see is an idea. The ray of creation begins with conception. Your biological trip began with conception in every conceivable manner. Jesus loves the little children worked for me. Love of every child is the lesson, The person of Jesus is not the lesson.
There is a single magnanimous intent. The I am I call myself is the same I am you call yourself. There is one mind and every expression is uniquely suited to itself. How more concrete an example might we find than resurrection? I have been renewed. Word describes an embodied sensation. they are only truly appreciated as a sense of being. Written word is storage device for a regenerative experience.
I have another question regarding the story of the transfiguration. The writers of that passage understood John the baptist to be the resurrected Elijah. Did Elijah become "resurrected" to become in turn, beheaded? If Elijah had returned as John the baptist, this would constitute reincarnation, would it not? Why wouldn't Elijah be resurrected as himself?
