Subject: how to start reading the bible? |
Bible Note: "I am neither 7th day, nor JW, nor HWA follower, I am follower of Jesus Christ and I worship and bow my knee to Him and the Father, from whom all life flows." You quote from Herbert W. Armstrong far more than you do Jesus Christ. You wrote: "We BECAME living souls, the Bible does not say that we have souls, or that we were given souls, it clearly states that we BECAME souls or nephesh or living creature, air-breathing creatures." Quoting from Jesus, not Armstrong: "Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." --Matthew 10:28 If there is no body-soul distinction in the Bible, how is man able to destroy the body but not the soul, but God is able to destroy both? Quite apparently, "picking up my Bible" would lead an individual to the conclusion that Jesus taught that the body and the soul are two distinct things. I wish you a clearer understanding of His word. --Joe! |
