To me personally, "taking dominion" over the earth as referenced in Gen:1:26 is an allegory. When God speaks of the earth in a spiritual sense to me he is speaking of 'flesh man' who is made of the dust of the earth. Taking dominion to me means to 'subjugate' or prevail against the flesh and...

Reincarnation - One life.... many Chapters JM

Good Choice Brian on both counts..... JM

Mark, Kudos.... Joe

Very well put Mark. Many thanks for the input.

Dondi, By Him all things were made and without Him there was nothing made. You are of your 'father the devil' is a figure of speech if you will receive it. We are all children of God in the sense that Andrew is speaking. ONE CAN'T HELP TO BE OTHER THAN THAT. No matter how far one drifts from...

And what is that difference between 'this day have I begotten thee' and being created by God? Have you read the previous post? Any problems with it? JM PS The last time I read the BIble I remember Jesus saying " Pray ye in this manner, Our Father " Can't remember him saying pray Jesus's...

Hi Dauer, Very inspirational message. I think the Rabbi makes a very important point and in the context of his definition of realistic, it seems to me progress is only made from those being unrealistic. Love and Peace, JM

I can only speak for myself but I am a creation of God. He is my direct source. I know nothing of adoption or being created by any other. Love and Peace, JM

Not to throw in a wrench but might I also be so bold to say God is my Father? Does not my spirit cries out abba abba? Love and Peace, JM

You are not wasteing your time Paul... Love and Peace, JM

Fried eggs here Juantoo3, Thanks for your response. I agree that the fruits speak louder than words. Love and Peace, JM

Salutations Faithfulservant, Ok. I hear you but I assure you that my intentions are not at all to trip you up as you suppose. Again you suppose... as there is no doubt in my mind that the spirit of God lives in me as in you and I have come to a different conclusion concerning the Bible...

Greetings Juantoo3, Thanks for the response but it seems to me you addressed my words and perceptions but may have side-stepped the issue being discussed at this time with Faithfulservant. That being, "Is it or is it not a requirement to believe the Bible as it exists today is the Word of God...

Ok faithfulservant, I acknowledge your position in this quote and it does reference OT scripture but it still does not make it a requirement to accept ALL of what is now considered the Bible to be a Christian. Because some of the writings build faith and as a result people are saved, in no way...

Faithfulservant, I think we can find some common grounds with some of your statements except with the first listed above. In Acts Chapter 2 it is recorded that about 3 thousand souls were saved in one day after Peter gave a sermon. No where in that sermon do I see where it is a requirement to...

Faithfulservant, Not to labor the point, at the time of Acts Chapter 11 we have no record that all of those early Christians in Antioh had even OT scripture. Many were unlearned and Gentiles. Paul preached, people were saved and God transformed them. Many never read a word of text. Never was a...

Faithfulservant, With all due respect, I am not pushing people away from the word of God. The Word or Logos of God is present everywhere. The Word or logos is living and books can only contain a RECORD written by men of what they say God told them. It is the choice of people to either believe...

Greetings Mark, Sounds to be that you are making much progress (so to speak) ... not that there is anywhere to go or get. 'Beginners mind' is a wonderful step in your path. Perhaps now you can do the same things you did once before but without the attachment. 'Being in the world' but not 'of...

Yes, this is a mystery revealed because " we know" that when he is revealed, we shall be like him. Why? Because Christ is revealed in us. That is our hope of Glory. When he shall appear we shall be like him because he (Christ) is being formed in us. (revealed in us - Not in some literal clouds...
