    Was Mary Sinless?

    You make stuff up. Nowhere in scripture does it say God is saving our spirits. It is our soul that is being saved, not our spirit. Even our body, while resurrected, is going to be utterly changed out not just saved and improved. Our spirits are born of God and are incorruptible. 1 Peter 2:25...

    What exactly is our soul?

    Because we are souls, not spirits. Why should God not recognise the souls that belong to Him as being alive even if they are physically dead? Why would God create Sheol if souls ceased to exist at physical death? Ezekiel 18:4 “Behold, all souls are Mine; The soul of the father As well as the...

    Was Mary Sinless?

    We gave you the same but you ignored context and failed (in some cases) to deal with the actual verses, instead finding ones that fit your narrative while ignoring the various meanings only pulling our what you wanted. We are still here because you are wrong and we are happy for everyone to see...

    Was Mary Sinless?

    And this is what you are contending, not me. You were the one who jumped around in the scripture to find something that resembled a "spiritual coma" rather than dealing with the scripture that said we were dead. You constantly use semantics to try and wriggle your way out of the lunacy you throw...

    What exactly is our soul?

    Adam was created spirit, soul and body. He died and his spirit returned to God who gave it. He had to be born again to regain his spiritual life. We are created body and soul for we cannot partake of God as sinners. We must be born again to have a spiritual life. We did not have a spirit that...

    What exactly is our soul?

    We are born dead in our sin Eph.2:1 We were not intellectually/emotionally dead, we were conscious and had a conscience and could make volitional choices, all functions of the soul as that is what we are in essence Gen.2:7 Nor we were physically dead which only leaves our spiritual life as being...

    What exactly is our soul?

    They are souls but not spiritual beings until they are born again.

    Was Mary Sinless?

    Yes, which is what you said regarding our spirits. God gave us a spirit at birth but it became as if dead (non-functional) because of sin. Therefore it needed an "injection of life", so to speak. That makes it a resurrection, not a birth. Birth is when new life, that wasn't in the world, comes...

    Doubting Salvation? What's Your Belief?

    No, doubting your doubts and confessing you doubts are not the same.

    Doubting Salvation? What's Your Belief?

    No idea what you are on about. I showed you the verse that stated the reason Paul and co. went to Jerusalem. They went to clarify the issue of circumcision not whether they were allowed to "be accepted as equals" as you stated. Acts 15:1-2 1Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and...

    Doubting Salvation? What's Your Belief?

    That wasn't the issue. It was whether Gentiles should keep the Law, specifically circumcision. Acts 15:1-2 1Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2This brought...

    Doubting Salvation? What's Your Belief?

    The father didn't doubt his doubts, he quite clearly knew he didn't believe and confessed it.

    He seems to have trouble with context. ;)

    Was Mary Sinless?

    Yes, but at least Nicodemus understood Jesus meant a second birth, not a birth and a resurrection. You can't even get that right. First birth physical, second birth spiritual. That's the "again" part not two spiritual births which is what you are trying to turn it into and not even doing a good...

    Was Mary Sinless?

    Strewth, twice now I have corrected you and you still haven't learnt I'm a woman. And once again more projection on your part. I have never said I was smart either. This victim playing on your part is getting very tiresome. 🥱

    Was Mary Sinless?

    You say we are spirits, the scriptures say we became living souls. Nowhere will you find the scripture calling us spirits. God created two souls in Gen1:27 and we would come to know them as Adam and Eve, two living souls. Even you recognise we are born spiritually non-functioning. How then do...

    Doubting Salvation? What's Your Belief?

    I think a lot of times it is well intentioned people who desperately want to live righteous lives but go about it backwards. Instead of focusing on Christ and His work, they look to themselves to see where they are going wrong and how they can improve. Constantly looking at the fallible is...

    Was Mary Sinless?

    Once again your perspective of interpretation colours your thinking of what we say. I have never said you don't have the Spirit or that you are lost and to the best of my remembrance, have never called you names. I have attacked your thinking, your interpretation and your theology, but not you...

    Was Mary Sinless?

    Beasts do not have spirits, they have breath which is what the writer is talking about. Spirits are born of God. Beasts do not partake of God, only men do. Your inability to recognise a question mark and your ignorance of what the word can mean in it's different usages keeps you from seeing the...

    Was Mary Sinless?

    Do you have to be saved to know murder is wrong? You have no idea what you are talking about. What is foolishness to the soul is the spiritual dynamic of God's word but it's moral and ethical dynamic is very understandable which is how people can be drawn to the light. It is why God expected all...
