It might seem rude for me to ask you this, but what do you mean by "He is the Spirit of Christ"?

Gnostic teaching. I have read the ""Gospel" of Thomas", which may be a Gnostic "gospel". Maybe all of it, and maybe put a reasonable amount of thought into it. Some of the "sayings" may have been formulated, if that's the right word to use, to explain the miraculous works of Christ - maybe by...

Is it right to ask for forgiveness for sins or past sins if you are saved? We are supposed to confess them (right?), but should that include asking for forgiveness?

Could you expand on what you wrote more? If the sinner broke a law and the legal punishment was flogging, say they raped a kid and killed someone, then yes I guess, I'm not completely sure though. I guess the death sentence would be warranted, but maybe not flogging considering what flogging is...

I was asking did Jesus Christ take the punishment that we deserve (if I'm not mistaken about that). It might help if I share something about me, my youngest brother might have FAS and I think there is a possibility I might have it to a small degree, but I might not. My mom drank and she might...

Or your soul goes to Heaven, or both soul and spirit maybe.

With the help of God (maybe the Holy Spirit, primarily).

I believe that when you die you go to Hell or Hades (not sure of the correct name) if you are not saved and if you are saved your spirit goes to Heaven. I will definitely not throw away the free gift of life that is being given to me. I guess I have been trying to find out how someone is saved...

Would anyone be able to take the time to read this answer to the prayer where it says "But Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserve". I guess I'm confused about salvation. I was reading this answer and I would like to know did Jesus Christ take the punishment that we deserve? Is that...

What exactly was disturbing about it, if I may ask? Do you think I was not articulating effectively? I might not have been, maybe I can try again. I could have looked at another site to find what the Holy Spirit is like, or could have spoke of my own experiences with Him if I had thought to do...

Well, no, I believe what John Piper is saying. Jesus got in my place and took the wrath of God for me.

I guess I'm not completely convinced Jesus took the wrath of God for us or that Jesus did not take the wrath of God for us. You and John Piper say that Jesus took the wrath of God for us and maybe more people have told me He did (maybe just one other person) but others have said He did not (if...

I guess I'm being told two different things here, Nehemiah6, yes Jesus took the wrath of God for us, and no Jesus did not take the wrath of God for us. I think understanding this might be a critical issue to my salvation (maybe so that I understand the logical coherency of salvation, if that...

Is there any Scripture that says Jesus took the wrath of God? Or is it said in other words in Scripture?

I guess I was sort of at the point where I didn't know what the Holy Spirit was like (maybe except from my own experience, if I had experiences with Him). I might not have had the understanding to think of my own experiences with Him (if I had experiences with Him). I could have gotten...

I guess I was sort of of at the point where I didn't know what the Holy Spirit was like (maybe except from my own experience, if I had experiences with Him, which I may not have thought to do when I made this thread, I may have been able to articulate those experiences and what attributes I...

What is the Holy Spirit like? What are His attributes?

John 3:5 (King James Version) - Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. In this verse is Jesus saying someone must be baptized in order to be saved?

Well, God's wrath is poured out on sinners after they die in the lake of fire, right? If Jesus was our substitute would that mean He took the wrath of God for us, because God pours out His wrath on sinners in the lake of fire (and God's wrath might be on sinners before that - to a lesser extent...

Is it not correct that God's wrath is on everyone until they are saved?
