    Has Christ always existed or was he born in Bethlehem?

    I think you have the sense of it. One thing though, Gods' "voice" is the word(s) of God spoken, John 1: 1 and verse 14. In other words ONE God manifested through His Will, His Word and His Spirit.

    When was the Holy Spirit FIRST given in the New Testament?

    There seems to be some confusion that was caused on my part. The question should have read: After Jesus' resurrection, to whom was the Spirit first given? That would be the upper room and the 12 disciples recorded in John 20: 21,22. I read some comments that Mary had been born again, and not...

    How are the Fruits of the Spirit obtained and maintained?

    The LATTER part of Romans 14: 17. (The kingdom of God is, righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost). To live consistently in this mature state, is to have done the other six fruits on a consistent basis. For example, if we list the fruits of the Spirit, and the top three fruits are the...

    Has Christ always existed or was he born in Bethlehem?

    Christ is the TITLE of the Saviour. That title existed before the foundation of the world as a plan of God for redemption of mankind. Jesus, the man, was born in Bethlehem and as John 1: 14 states, the ETERNAL WORD was made flesh and dwelt among us.

    How do I restore and renew my "first love" to God?

    Returning to your first works is a good answer, but I would like to add the practical requirements of it. For example, Mark 9: 49 is a good Biblical insight: The first part of the verse relates to the "fire" of God with a new nature reinstated along with the zeal for the things of God, but it...

    What was the Gospel message in Luke 9: 1,2. that the disciples were sent out to preach?

    the question was "what did Jesus send his disciples out to preach? To save space and to come to the point, read SLOWLY Luke 9: 18-22. Here we see only the gospel of repentance was being preached at that time, saying the kingdom of God was at hand, and for the reasons given in verse 22. Another...

    The Holy Spirit convicts of sins ,renews Himself in the believer, baptizes one into the body of Christ, distributes spiritual gifts, operates in visual manifestations of power. The Trinity is just one God, but God manifests Himself through His will, His words, and His Spirit, of which operate...

    Explain, "The unpardonable sin".

    Most of the answers are what one has been taught, what their church believes, or what they themselves believe, but have missed what the scripture is saying. Words reveal meaning, and, for the most part seem to be of little importance compared to what they have been taught. The Word of God is...

    Explain, "The unpardonable sin".

    The key to understanding Matthew 12: 31,32. and Mark 3: 28-30 is the word BLASPHEMY. Webster's dictionary breaks the word into it's two parts: blapsis or injurious, and phemi, to speak. Together this word blasphemy is something SPOKEN, that is hurtful, derogatory, or irreverent. The person of...

    Who do I pray to, the Father, the Son or the Spirit, or does it really matter?

    Read the Gospel of John 16: 22-27. The authority of God is in His word, the Bible, not in the speculations of men. We pray to the Father for our petitions etc. and end our prayers in Jesus name, thus honouring the Son as well. When Jesus died on the cross, the veil of the temple leading to the...

    Three Gods or one? Explain the Trinity.

    Go to Genesis 1: 2 "the Spirit of God was moving upon the face of the waters". Now, verse three, note the words And God SAID... the command given was through His WORDS. So who created everything? The Trinity were all present, but the creation was accomplished by God the Father through HIS WORDS...

    Three Gods or one? Explain the Trinity.

    Only ONE God...Think on it. Only ONE. God cannot lie, therefore God's WORD(s) are truth. The words of God were placed into a flesh form. Jesus said "I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life, no man comes unto the Father but by me. Think on it this way: the speaker, (The Father) directs what HE...

    Forgiveness.

    If one pleases, they can forgive a brother multiple times in a day, but I think the text is pointing out that after seven times in one day, that brother is taking advantage, and mocking the others good will.
