1 | world vs age | Gen 1:5 | PDAL | 216203 | ||
Hello Ptr, I never said Lucifer had the appearence of man ,I quoted Isaiah 14:16,he was a man.As far as satan which means the accuser,he has no power.He was defeated at the cross,the only power he has is in deception or when the church lifts him up.God is in charge and always has been.The only thing satan can do is what God allows him to do.God created all things,that includes satan or the devil.You wrote that we can become more than conquerors,the greater truth is that we have become,not going to.You will only understand that statement if you understand the FINISHED WORK that God did in and through our Lord Jesus,but most of the church do not know who they are IN CHRIST. |

2 | world vs age | Gen 1:5 | PDAL | 216201 | ||
st.john I did not know Isaiah was a poet,a prophet yes.I still read it as Lucifer being a man,just food for thought,not wanting to debate anything.As far as understanding scripture,God's word is progressive revelation,meaning your understanding might change over the years.The only thing that is absolute is God himself.He sheds more and more light to those who seek him.Prov.25:2It is the glory of God to conceal a thing,but the honor of kings is to search out a matter,so I disagree about the cookie thing.Please don't take this the wrong way,but the library is full of fiction books.Example,The Left Behind Series,They made a movie out of that. Blessings,PDAL |

Hi stjohn, Thanks for remembering.I've read Isaiah 14:12-18,but i guess what confuses me somewhat is that v.16, says(is this the MAN)referring to Lucifer.So the way I read it is that it was a man that fell and weakened the nations,which was adam.My understanding is that God created the devil as the devil and man as man.The fall that took place is because of what one man did Adam,not what a devil did.Also what I found interesting was that Lucifer means lightbearer,which to me means that there is light within.So you see I'm a little puzzled,as to who Lucifer speaks of. Blessings PDAL |

Hi Doc. Death only reins in the natural relm.You are born of the spirit and he who is born of the spirit is spirit.You claim to be IN HIM and I believe you are,but what part of you is in him?IT,S YOU THE SPIRIT that's in union with Christ.It's YOU THE SPIRIT that's seated with Christ in God,that is a present reality.Yes your natural body will die,but YOU THE SPIRIT WILL never die.You are a spirit,not a body.Doctrine will not give you life ,only GOD can give you life.Romans8:24 O wretched man that I am ,who will deliever me from this body of death.... Paul had all the doctrine any man could have,he counted it all as dung,because he wanted to HIM and the power of his resurection.Gal.1:12 For I neither recieved it from man,nor was I taught it,but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.Peter recieved the same thing when in th gospels Jesus asked Peter,who do you say I am?Peter said though art the Christ.Flesh and blood did not reveal that to you ,but my father who is in Heaven revealed it to you ,well done.Peter did not recieve that from any doctrine,it was a revelation from God.More than any thing we need a revelation of the person and work of Jesus Christ.

Hi Doc and BradK, Sorry I couldn't respond sooner,I've been extremely busy this week,I have a full time job,elder in my church and starting up a new fellowship in a neighboring town,so please bare with me if it sometimes takes a few days to respond. Doc I would like to respond to you first. Death reigned as king over all men,my mistake,I ment to write because of one man's offence death reined or spread through that one.ROM.5:17 amp.and then verse 19 says because of that many were made that way. Spiritualy dead men still have a spirit.Gen2:17God said the day YOU eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil YOU shall surely die.We know that Adam didn't die physically,because Gen. 5:5 says that he lived 930 years then died.Adam died spiritually.That's the death that was passed on to all men.When God says YOU,He's identifing Adam as a Spirit man ,not a natural man.Adam's disobedience caused a change in his condition in reference to his spirit,Which is our condition until we accept Christ,the change is a spiritual change,death to life John 5:24.Jesus said in John 10:10 I come to give you life.He made us something that we were not,by changing our spiritual condition,from death to life.Jesus ,who knew no sin became sin,He identified with who we were in Adam,who was spiritually dead,which is the sin nature or death nature and it can only produce death.He gave us life to produce life.Every believer is to manifest the life or nature of the son.Even though Adam died spiritually,he still was a threefold being,spirit,soul and body.No it doesn't say that in written words,but it does picture it. BradK Name change in scripture denotes a change in nature is not written in english words either,but I will show you a picture. Abram to Abraham,notice what was added,am was added.God's name is I AM,that I AM.Before Gen.17 he was Abram and produced Ismeal,after Gen17 He became Abraham and produced the promised son Isaac,which is a picture of Christ.What changed him was a encounter with GOD.Abram is a picture of a believer before one accepts Christ and Abraham is a picture of a believer after accepting Christ.Abraham can be looked at as the church giving birth to the nature of the son.

Hi BradK and Doc. Spiritual death came into the world through Adam and passed upon all men.Romans5:17death reigned as a king over all men. Spitiually dead men still have a spirit,or rather is a spirit.His spirit has the nature of death.Spiritual death is a nature. We know that eternal life ,spirit life,is a nature,the God kind of life,is a nature.It is the life,the nature of God.Ephesians4:18 calls it the life of God,which the unbeliever is alienated from,2 Peter 1:4 calls it the devine nature.God is a Spirit and the nature of his being ia life.Well, if life is a nature,then death must be a nature.Rightousness was not just imputed to us,it has been imparted to us. Let us locate sin,Romans6:12 NKJV.Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body,that you should obey it in its lusts.Sin is not in your spirit ,it is in you mortal body,it is in your mind.You are a spirit,that has a soul or mind,that lives in a body,a threefold being. Romans 7;5,20,23says sin was in our bodily members,Ephesians2:3 says it was in our minds.After Paul said in Ephesians2;1 you were dead he went on to sayin verse 3 you were by nature the children of wrath.For Paul the spirit of man is the real man and that was changed at the new birth.Name change in scripture denotes change in nature. Thanks for your responses I learn alot from both of you. PDAL |

Hi Doc. You said you have a sinful nature.I don't believe you do as a believer.Our nature was changed the moment we accepted Jesus as our Savior,we may be double minded,but we have the same nature as Jesus.We went from a sinful nature to a rightousness nature.Our spirits were changed at the new birth,but our minds were not it has to be renewed.We have been taken out of Adam and placed IN CHRIST.What changed,our nature,we are no longer children of the dark,we are now children of light.We are to live out of this new nature.The old man,our old nature, is dead and buried. |

Thanks Doc... Our pastors teach us that there is really only one message in the bible and that is God's plan of redemption(which can be seen throughout the entire bible).God's one man plan to reconcile us back to Him through Jesus Christ and that we must see everything through the cross.A Finished Work.They teach us to see God's view and not man's view. |

st.john I was just tring to help you.didn't mean to upset you.You seem to get upset a lot on this forum.Sorry there's been a misunderstanding,my focus is not on money,but you do need money to operate in the natural relm don't you. I'm not word of faith,didn't even know what is was until you guys bashed K.C. and J.M.your brother and sister in the Lord. Sound doctrine:Matt 16:15-18 Says the church is built on revelation. Eph.2:20 Jesus Christ himself the chief cornerstone. John 5:39 says that scripture testifies of me(J.C.) Heb.10:7 says that the volume of the book is written of me (J.C). To know the Word (which is a person)according to John 1:1is to know Jesus Christ intimately. See John its all about knowing Jesus.It's all about the PERSON AND WORK OF J.C.. 1Cor.2:2 For I have determined not to know anything among you except J.C. AND HIM CRUCIFIED. Phil.3:8 Paul counts all things a loss except for the excellence of the KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST. Other countries-Phil.4:11 Not that I speak in regard to need,for I have learned to be content in whatever state I'm in.Persucution I can get that right here.I've been to other countries and have seen the poverty.And like Paul preached Christ to them.Preaching the Cross is what sets people free peroid.Not Jesus plus the law,not Jesus plus your good works. Be careful what you assume I'm not in the habit of watching Christian television. Ephs.4:15 But speaking the truth in LOVE,MAY GROW UPin all things into HIM who is head CHRIST. PDAL |

stjohn All that I'm saying is that as co-creators with God,we create the enviroment that we live in by the way we think.God said let us make man in our image--that's a thought,then came action,God breathed--result-- man was created.As far as acting rich or poor,there's to many to list ,but one way may be in giving.Is a person a giver or do they hold back. No funds--you can make it happen this year by creating a different enviroment.You can do it with a positive attitude for every area of you life,elimaninate excuses especially religious or self hating ones.Understand that we have been created by our creator to be decisive and rule,if we refuse to decide our life other people or circumstances will then decide it for us.God has decided to let us decide. Job22:28 says you decide a matter and it will be confirmed and light will shine on your ways. There are two primary ways to view God. His person revealed through grace and truth through Jesus Christ.The other way is through his laws or principles of creation. Mt.5:45 That you may be children of your father which is in heaven,for he makes his sun rise on the evil and the good,and sends rain on the just and the unjust. Luke 16:8 And the Lord commened the unjust steward,because he had done wisely,fore the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. We can know the person of redemption yet ignore the natural laws of creation and wonder why God allows us to suffer,but it is really because we violate the natural laws that God put in place at creation,they work for everybody always.On the other hand we may know the laws of creation,bot still be unfullfilled in our heart because we do not know the person of redemption.May we come to know him both as creator and redeemer AMEN!

Proverbs 23:7 The heart can also mean the very core of something or the most inward part,as in our sub-concious.What we believe in our sub-conscience is what manifests on the outside.For instance if I believe I'm rich then I'm going to act rich.If I believe I'm poor then I'll act that way.Whatever we believe about ourselves we will act out.This is why some people after accepting christ still have issues,like drug addiction,alchol problems and so forth.They need their concious cleasened.The word conscience means to know within oneself.Even though the truth is that they are new creations in christ,sometimes they believe that they are their actions...You are not your actions you are who the bible says you are.Judge no man by the flesh. | ||||||

Hey Doc, Are you saying that God will or does use cancer to conform us to the image of his son.Why would God put something like cancer,which we've been redeemed from back on us.The whole purpose of Jesus's death was to remove the curse and everything that went along with it. |

17 | no physical death? not sinners? | Eph 4:9 | PDAL | 184211 | ||
Hi stj......We need to clear some things up.I never said we don't sin.I said we are not sinners.Maybe this will help.John 3:6 says that which is born of the flesh is flesh,and that which is born of the spirit is spirit.First and foremost we are a spirit,we have a soul,and live in a body.This single aspect that man is a spirit is so interwoven throughtout Paul's writings that failure to recongnize it has kept many from grasping the rest of Paul's revelation......For Paul the spirit of man is the real man.He uses the term"heart"meaning the core or principle part in referring to it(Rom.2:28,29;Eph.3:16,17).He uses the term"inward man"in referring to it as in 2Cor.4:16...though our outward man perish,yet the inward man is renewed day by day.We know from Rom.2:28,29 that the term"inward man"refers to the heart or spirit,so the term"inward man" here refers to the spirit.Paul uses the term"I" or"we" in referring to his own spirit in 2Cor.4:16-18;1Cor.14;14;He uses the pronoun "you" when he speaks of other's spirits as in Eph.2:1"....you hath he quickened,who were dead..."We know this refers to their spirit because these Ephesians weren't dead physically,but spirituall before they were saved.In Eph.4:24 he calls the reborn spirit the new man.Our spitits have been recreated,been made one with Christ Himself through the impartation of His Life into us.We are new creations on the inside,the rightousness of God.All that is in Christ is now in our spirits where the union between us and Chris has been formed.What has to be dealt with now is our minds.Our minds need to be renewed.Rom.12:2.be transformed by the renewing of yoour mind.Our mind has not directly been changed in the new birth like your spirit has.It must undergo a process of renewal,there must be a change in the way our minds think.This happens as it is subjected to what is true of us in our spirit......2Cor.5:16 says to know no one after the flesh.There is a big difference between your self and your flesh.We are not to identify with our actions.We identify with who we are in spirit,because we are spirit......Be Blessed....PDAL. | ||||||
18 | no physical death? not sinners? | Eph 4:9 | PDAL | 184158 | ||
Hi stj...good to hear from you.Adam died in the day he ate,we know that this was spiritual because the Lord sent him out of the garden after he ate.He was still physically alive.His condition or nature was spiritual death.If you tell me that Jesus died for my sins that's good news,but if you tell me that Jesus died to destroy the old man or nature that produced those sins,that's really good news.Where did this take place? At the Cross!Jesus's redemtive work at the Cross removed our old man,old self,or our old nature,which was spiritual death.It was our sinful nature.Rom.6:1-7....Next question would be how did he do that? 2Cor.5:21.He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us,that we might become the rightousness of God in him.Jesus removed that condition by becoming the condition that we were as a result of Adam's disobedience.Rom.5:18,19 and died,destroying that nature.But he didn't stay dead,He was made alive...Rom.6:10,11.says we're dead to sin......You were a sinner,now you're saved through faith in Jesus Christ,therefore you have become a NEW CREATION IN CHRIST.That's why I don't believe in two natures.......PDAL. | ||||||

Greetings CDBJ!....I would be happy to clear up some things.Alot gets lost in our meanings over our P.C.,To me last and second mean the same.Sorry!--It is better said last Adam.1Cor.15:47 GOD created only two corperate men in the earth.The first man was of the earth,made of dust;the second man is the Lord from heaven.NKJV.1Cor.15:45-54 is some very good reading.Once we ask Jesus into our heart by choice of course(not automatic)there is a change that takes place in our spirit.In Adam our condition was spiritual death.By asking Jesus into our heart that condition changes from death to eternal life(denotes quality as to duration).It's His life in us.1John5:11,12 And this is the testimony:that GOD has given us eternal life,and this life is in His Son.12 He who has the Son has life;he who does not have theSon of God does not have life.Because of this we have become NEW CREATIONS IN CHRIST!AMEN!I'm not a sinner saved by grace,I'm a NEW CREATION IN CHRIST!....I hope it's becoming clearer.As you seek HIM it will.....PDAL | ||||||

Hello CDBJ ;This may help.The fall of Adam into bondage and corruption was more than the decent of a single man from life and freedom.The very name "Adam"-"Man"-implies the embodiment of all mankind.The fall of Adam as our head and representative was the fall of us all.So.to the resurrection of Christ into life and glorious liberty was not just the raising of a single man.No,as Second"Adam,"He to embodied us all as our Head and Representative.The resurrection of Christ was our resurrection.He took us in Him to the Cross by taking our place and becoming what we were John 12:32 If I be lifted up on the cross,I shall draw all peoples unto Myself.2Cor.5:21-For our sake He made Christ[virtually]to be sin who knew no sin,so that in and through Him we might become[endued with,viewed as being in,and examples of]the righteousness of GOD[what we ought to be,approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him,by his goodness].I hope this helps some....PDAL | ||||||
