Nope, Mr. Smartypants.... :biglaughMysteryman said:Hi glorydaz
LOL , oh really ! You think I give more power to man , than I do to God. This shows your misunderstanding of scripture ! All power is of God, and he will not leave your soul in the grave because of the power of God ! But the truth is, is that your body and soul go to the grave in this life !
When you are alive here upon this earth, the spirit of man communicates to the mind that which it understands and hears. God spoke to the spirit of man in the garden. God had Adam name all of the animals. Adam didn't go to school in order to learn how to name the animals. God told him what to call each animal ! Only when he put his Spirit upon man, was that paticular man a prophet of God. But even a prophet of God had also the spirit of man with him. The serpent talked to the woman in the garden by way of his spirit unto the spirit of man , of the woman. The serpent does not talk verbally in the literal sense. Even when Jesus was taken up into the mountain to be tempted. The devil talked to the Spirit of Jesus Christ. The devil didn't talk to Jesus in the verbal literal sense. But Jesus did talk back to him verbally and spiritually. That is because when we communicate , we communicate in the spirit of man. So the devil knows what we say, but never knows what we are thinking.
I suggest you study the difference between the soul and the spirit of man. This is a short coming within your life and understandings. I truely believe you would gain a much greater insight if you do this. Ask God while studying , to reveal unto you the difference between the soul and the spirit of man.
And the greatest lie recorded in scripture , is that "ye shall not surely die" !
Bless
Since Jesus confirmed we will not surely die if we believe in Him.
God had told Adam, "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.John 5:24 said:Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Satan's lie was that they could disobey God and live.
Gen. 3:2-5 said:And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Rather than worry about my shortcomings, I suggest you consider your own denial of what the Word tells us quite plainly. Our flesh dies...but our soul and our spirit can have life everlasting through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. As I said, you're confused about man's triune nature. And, you give man more power than you give God. His Word is truth and through it you, too, can find life everlasting.
