***God took the form of a man aka Jesus Christ when it became apparent that His spiritual form wasn’t good enough to get peoples’ attention.
I am getting a better understanding of your religious views. ***
They are not mine. They are the Church’s. I follow Christ and His teachings, not a slimy dude with a bad hairpiece.
***Your tagline gives credit to the Catholic church for guiding you to Christ***
It is a quote from St. Augustine.
***and the statement above is just plain denial of the power of God, as well as a profoundly ignorant understanding of Scriptural Prophecy and history.***
My statement that God did not attract the attention of the Jewish people for more than two days at time, so He Incarnated and came to earth among us is absolutely correct. How else do you explain it?
***It “became apparent” to God before He created everything. You must spend quality time in the Scriptures to know God, my FRiend.***
Care to share any of that quality?
***You may know the words of your priests, but you display a profound ignorance of His Word.***
IIRC, you post much more of Paul than you do of Jesus.
***With the help of His Holy Spirit, you won’t need YOPIOS.***
Funny, I was about to say the same thing.
***You will have the Mind of God indwelling.***
The Gnostics were ruled heretic almost 2000 years ago. Strange how some of their beliefs still hang around.
***Don’t believe my words, believe what Jesus had to say about it...
Luke 24 : 44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”
45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”***
Okay, the bishops of the Church were instructed here. I’m sure that you have a point with your quotes; would you kindly state it?
My point has already been made. The fact that you continue to spout your kneejerk responses tells me I've hit the Mark... your... BS... (no explanation necessary) and NR ... never right!
Quote all the saints you wish. I will quote the Word of God, including Paul, Peter, and all the others who wrote the words.
My statement that God did not attract the attention of the Jewish people for more than two days at time, so He Incarnated and came to earth among us is absolutely correct. How else do you explain it?...
I just laugh at such arrogance and ignorance... and wonder what other misstatements of Scripture you have received from your "guides". It's apparent that there isn't much consideration to the power of God in your permutations...
He is risen, so we can receive His Spirit, indwelling us, (not a priest), to bring us to ALL TRUTH! John 16: 5 "Now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?' 6 Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief. 7 But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; 10 in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 11 and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
12 "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you.
Romans 6: Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.
