Also I appreciate your questions as they are not adversarial but inquisitive Because of a number of my family members and some friends have fallen into the trap of New Age/ Eastern thought, the use of the word 'energy' kind of puts sand in my thinking gear box. So excuse me if I am unable to...

Some quotes from "Why The Son Had TO Die" "SO many angels who sinned by listening to the sinning angel, were allowed to confess their wrong and return getting a full pardon from the Father. Nobody divine had to die for their sin." Being misled or deceived is not sin rebellion would have been...

From G.D.Watson 1845-1924 It seems "slowdown" is not exactly correct. The life of the believer is like Christ's. He was not concerned about daily needs. It seemed the focus of His prayers was more to do with the humanity of Mary's son in whom He resided. For the two were one. In the nature of...

This reminds me of something I posted in the last post. A friend once said to me something that was so simple and yet so profound, "If you want to know what your faith is look at your life." Early in the experience of a Christian walk they may pray for personal needs like their car broke down...

"God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." John 4:24 I read this text as well a few around it and I must confess I don't understand its meaning Yes I have had the same experience. For most it is like the lights are on but nobody is home. Spiritual...

Yes, I’ve had some interesting conversations at church regarding the incarnation of the son of God. There are two quotes from Ellen White that got me thinking about the nature of Christ on earth. “The Lord’s body—God is seeking to make His church the continued incarnation of Christ. “PCL 23 She...

Rob wrote We are made living energy because of the presence of the Holy Spirit living in us, but this living does not empower us with eternal living, only a probationary living because of our falling through Adam. Once you ask Jesus for His presence the Holy Spirit and Jesus empower a ongoing...

In someways I found it difficult to follow the word study regarding the heart. But in a general it obviously means that God wants to be all and in all. Yes there is something about the heart that escape me as a person walking ahead of me in a dance fog and I catch glimpses of him from time to...

The tree of Life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. I have often pondered the name of the latter. What does it mean? I have reached a conclusion for now, but I am open for instruction. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The tree of the knowledge of right and wrong. The...

For the sake of space I will not share all the proof text because that would be like preaching to the choir. In some cases I will share the reference. If you have a specific question I will then share the text. I will have to share what I consider greater or new light as many have rejected it or...

Rather than focusing on the word "faith" I want to look at the fruit or outcome. "accept His character, manifest His spirit, and work His works" When consenting adults come together there is an offspring. When we consent to a spirit working into us, its will and purposes are worked out through...

Well here are my 2 pennies: The soul temple is created for and meant to be inhabited on a very deep level perhaps systemic in nature. I don’t think there is a middle ground where we are without some degree of habitation. Below is one of my favorite quotes, and it clarifies how habitation occurs...

As I have read about the subject of demonic activity I have come to some conclusions as well as some questions. “ That temple, erected for the abode of the divine Presence, was designed to be an object lesson for Israel and for the world. From eternal ages it was God's purpose that every created...

When I was at La Serra and LLU long ago, I was involved with the Christian students who were the most serious about God. At that time my understanding of faith was sort of like grunting real hard when I prayed. Yet God did manifest His power in spite of that weakness, I have come to understand...

I experienced a 21 day trial. It seemed like all the stops were pulled out and the devil was given full authority to hammer me with offense, anger and hatred. There were a number of people who said or did things that really offended me, and I felt such anger to the point that I wanted to slug...

I have waited some time for an answer from Chief and Casandra. I have asked questions that have not been answered. Are. there more than 2 other contributors on this forum? I have been pondering these thoughts for some time and would like some lively contributions.

Hello Chief, I owe you an apology as I have not posted the quote in it's entirety. "Like every child of Adam He accepted the results of the working of the great law of heredity. What these results were is shown in the history of His earthly ancestors. He came with such a heredity to share our...

"a weakened human frame" ?? When I have heard ministers quoting Ellen regarding Jesus being under the working of the great law of heredity... They say he felt hunger and he got tired. They carefully avoid speaking of any evil desires that his ancestors failed at, which he personally faced and...

Hello Cassandra, there were a few questions in my last post to you that you have not answered and I feel that it would be conducive to clearing up any confusion I have about your beliefs and any confusion you have about mine. I want to understand you, not have an argument. By comparing or...

Hello Cassandra, I do not hold the believe he had an earthly father. But his mother, and therefore, he were genetically linked to David and Abraham and therefore by extension of the seed of Adam. Romans 1:3 "...which‭ was made‭‭ of‭ the seed‭ of David‭ according‭ to the flesh‭;" Heb. 2:14& 16...
