1 | Is God ONE or is God THREE? | James 2:19 | Prove All Things | 36040 | ||
There are two members of the God family - The Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is their power. God is a plural word like church, family, team or class. 2 John 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath BOTH the Father and the Son. Not one and not three - rather BOTH the Father and the Son. The Whole Truth: www.livingcog.org |

Hi Kalos, This is excellent material. The only ones from his lists that I would question are B5 and B6. Luke 11:13 for His Holiness: "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?" *I think that the heavenly Father would be the holy Person here who gives the good gift of the holy spirit to those who ask Him (the Father). Romans 8:2 for His Life: "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death." *I think that the law is not associated with life in the Scriptures. The writer of Romans says to keep our mind set on the Spirit. Romans 7:22, "For I joyfully concur with the law of (God) in the inner man, but I see a different law...Romans 8:1 "There is therefore now no condementation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the **spirit of life in Christ (Jesus) has set you free from the law of sin and of death." Verse 7, "for the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward (God);...Verse 10,"And if (Christ) is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive [life] because of righteousness." Verse 13, "for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the (Spirit) you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live." Verse 26, And in the same way the (Spirit) also helps our weakness;" The key verse is number 10 ,"yet the spirit is life" and verse 2 ,"the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus." Kalos, thanks for the information here in your post. It will be referred to often I am sure. From the heart, Ray |
