    Man is a spirit

    Wow. You left out a lot...! Anyhow, I mostly agree. At the same time, the quoted part is the thing I have an issue with. It is sort of what I was hearing taught in the Bible study I mentioned. I do not believe the spirit is sentient or conscious or exists outside the body, other than it returns...

    Man is a spirit

    Thank you! I found an article where he is teaching that man is an eternal spirit. He calls it the inward man, as opposed to the outward man. It sounds reasonable, but I think it can lead to some really bad doctrine. Some, who aren't Catholic at all, are believing that our spirits pre-existed...

    Man is a spirit

    Sadly, this is being taught in the adult Bible study at my church. By one who does know the difference between gnosticism and a paganism and Christianity. But in some circles this man-is-a-spirit teaching is pervasive and so accepted that the truth can hide. I think this is the case in this...

    Man is a spirit

    That is a good site. And the 3 circles I understand. What I have been hearing taught by some, though, is a bit different. They are saying that man is a spirit, and has a soul and body. They use the same 3 circles, but say it differently. Not a tri-part being exactly, but a spirit being, housed...

    Man is a spirit

    Where did the teaching that man is a spirit, has a soul, and lives in a body, originate? I remember when it was "new" but not who first taught it. Prior to this, we were taught that man was a living soul when God breathed into Adam. No distinct 3 parts.

    Who is the best pastor currently alive ?

    My vote is for Bill Johnson of Bethel Church in Redding, CA. I've heard him several times, know some who attend there, and like what I've heard. The church is growing and alive and ministers healing. I love my church and pastors, don't get me wrong. If I didn't honor them, I wouldn't go there...

    A "dumb and deaf spirit."

    I can't find the reference, but I read an article about rabbinic tradition and the things Jesus did to show He was Messiah. Three of the four were: Heal someone born blind - which assumed that He could forgive the sin the "caused" it, raise someone from the dead after three day (Lazarus - 4th...

    end times discussion on the kingdom of christ

    There are some dispensationalists who believe this also. Ever hear of the late Rushdooney and his followers? Some even want to bring in OT law, such as stoning adulterers and rebellious children. They I believe are extreme dominionists/restorationist. Something like that.

    end times discussion on the kingdom of christ

    What exactly do you base this belief on? The kingdoms of the world will never be part of God's kingdom. They are directly opposed. The world operates by power over people. God's kingdom is based on service to one another. His kingdom is spreading since Pentecost. But it is spiritual...

    Hello From A Struggling Christian

    What kind of questions couldn't you get answered? God says to come, and reason together. I've found that there is no question that can't be asked and no doctrine that can't be challenged. Every time I have done this, I have come out stronger in my beliefs. And have changed my mind more than...

    Thanks. Somehow I missed that. Every forum has a different layout. So, is there no way to be notified of replies to your post other than going to "View your posts"? I was thinking email notification, like most forums.

    Libre is here......

    My screen name in many forums has been Libre. And continues to be, which is surprising to me. Only once have I had to add a 2, in about 4 years of using it. I am not Latino. I was trying to think of a name one day, and saw a copy of Nacho Libre on my son's desk. Since we who are in Christ are...
