God says of Jeremiah " I KNEW YOU BEFORE I FORMED YOU in your mothers womb." This indicates, to me , that God considered this unformed child (fetus) a person, he was "you" (a person) before he was formed.

Deut. 19:10 " That innocent blood BE NOT SHED in thy land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for and inheritance, and so blood be upon thee." You can"t be anymore innocent than a child in their mothers womb.

You testify to your household FIRST, then just like the spreading of the Gospel, it fans out from there.

Jesus came to give us, those who believe in their hearts and confess with their mouths' the Lord Jesus and that God has raised Him from the dead, a new nature. The" old man " is dead. What is left for us to do is to " renew our minds " by the washing of water by the Word.

All true, but we MUST be endued with power from above by being baptized with/in the Holy Spirit.

" God's truth " or" it is truth " either works for me and again, thanks :-)))

Great responce.

A living soul is living only because of the spirit. So long.

" If the spirit could simply be regenerated, " it was only by the work of the cross that our spirits COULD be regenerated. There was nothing " simply " about it. Jesus had to die and be raised again from the dead so that whoever believed and received Him would receive the indwelling of the Holy...

" Can just as easily mean..." , you choose what you think it means, and I chose what I know it does. We've been over these things and you don't or refuse to understand. I have never used " a non-functioning spirit " those are your words, because you just don't understand, so it would be...

I am familiar with the scripture Eze. 36:26, and to whom God was speaking. He was speaking to His people, Jews, to whom He had given the Oracles of God, had delivered over and over again and who had rebelled against Him on numerous occasions. The Gentiles, of which am I, or was, did not have...
