“You" is plural, so not Jesus would not seem to be addressing the Holy Spirit, Who is singular.

Traditions within Christendom are not necessarily true representations of reality. Why assume babies are born morally corrupt?

Do you have any case studies that show that children cannot do good without being taught to do good? Humans learn through pattern recognition, and trial and error. Absent of any adult instruction, if doing a good thing achieves discernible benefits, a child will repeat the efficient good...

There are some wrongs a child would never think of and do without being taught them. There are some right things a child will do without being taught them. Why do pedophiles need grooming gangs, if children do not need to be taught to do wrong? You have evaded my actual argument, and have...

Paul Thomson said: But as I said, for the born again believer, from my perspective, walking in spirit, and walking in the Holy Spirit, are the same thing, since his own spirit is pure, holy and perfect, remade after the image of Christ. A born again Christian can also start walking in the...

I say - PaulThomson said: 'None of these texts have “the” before “spirit” ', because the Greek text, which is what God inspired and gave us, does not have “the" before “spirit'. The NKJV is not the prfect word of god. It is an attempt to translate the Greek into modern English. But it is an...

20:23 ἄν (ever) τινων (of whom pl.) ἀφῆτε (aorist active subjunctive, you pl. might start forgiving, τὰς ἁμαρτίας (accusative pl., the shortfalls) ἀφιένται (present indicative passive, they are being forgiven) αὐτοῖς (to them); ἄν (ever) τινων (of whom pl.) κρατῆτε (present active subjunctive...

Which verses are you using to establish your claims that I highlighted in bold and underline. At the Rapture: 1. Christ comes FOR His own in the air 2. All believers are translated into new bodies 3. Christians are taken to the Father's House 4. There is no judgment on the earth 5. The Church...

Do you mean a post-trib resurrection verse? We are changed into glorified resurrection bodies just before we are caught up to meet Jesus in the air when the saints are resurrected at His return. Yes?

This is not an exhaustive list, but - 1. Things exists. 2. I have a sense of myself as something that exists. 3. I have a sense that things and persons that are not myself also exist. 4. There are recurring patterns in reality. 5. Reality is constantly changing. 6. Time exists. 7. Space...

When we are born again we receive a perfect pure new spirit into which the Holy Spirit comes to abide. Therefore, for a Christian, their spirit is a faithful guide, being enlightened by the Holy Spirit in it. Hence, for the born again believer, these verses are true, whether they refer to his...

Christianity is “the Way. It’s members generate unity by a common way of living in fellowship with God and is characterised by displaying likeness to the Father, who is revealed through the Son and manifest in us by the Holy Spirit, producing service and the fruit of the Spirit, hence a...

Through conscience, listening to the Holy Spirit in them, sincerely seeking to know and do the will of God, epistemic humility, context, and trial and error.

The original text was in ALL CAPS. So, the whole word in all cases was SPIRIT (PNEUMA), NOT Spirit (Pneuma) and spirit (pneuma).

No. 60:3 וְהָלְכוּ גוֹיִם לְאוֹרֵךְ וּמְלָכִים לְנֹגַהּ זַרְחֵךְ׃ And they shall come (וְהָלְכוּ ) Gentiles (גוֹיִם) to your light (לְאוֹרֵךְ) and kings (וּמְלָכִים) to the brightness of (לְנֹגַהּ) your rising (זַרְחֵךְ). The Hebrew does not say, “the Gentiles”, but “Gentiles”. So, not...

The true church the firstborn love each other regardless of denominational flavours in creeds, catechisms, statement of faith, rules of governance, dogmas. Christendom and Christianity are not the same. The former is a political affiliation, professing an authority that comes from Christ...

Exo 4:22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: er 31:9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them:I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall notstumble: for I am a father...

Your two statements placed side by side imply the second is a result of the first. 1. “… we are born in trespass and sin." 2. "We sin because we are sinners by nature”. I was conceived in a hotel room and I was born in a hospital. That in no way implies that I have a hotel room and a hospital...

First, to make your thread title and subsequent argument make any sense, you need to define what you mean by “sin’, and then apply that meaning to “sin" in “sinless”. IMO we are all born innocent/sinless. Rom 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil…

I have bolded and underlined the questionable claims. At the Rapture: 1. Christ comes FOR His own in the air 2. All believers are translated into new bodies 3. Christians are taken to the Father's House 4. There is no judgment on the earth 5. The Church will be in Heaven 6. It is an imminent...
