Bible Teachings or Traditions of Men?

Why are you having so much trouble with the simple concept that many here have answered you with in one way or another? Again, Jesus' BODY is not eternal, it had a beginning, at His conception in the womb of Mary, and it died, while His SPIRIT is eternal, pre-existing the body and existing while the body was dead.Something similar is true of human beings in general although our spirits have a beginning and His didn't: our bodies die but our spirits/souls are going to live on forever -- and our bodies will also ultimately be resurrected as well according to scripture.You keep insisting on your own definition that has been answered over and over.

I think you are a tad confused here. You say it better in your following paragraph where you distinguish between the body and spirit, the spirit being eternal although the body it clothes itself in is not.But when you speak of an eternal being this way: "its time as a living being" you are mixing things up. God, the only eternal being, IS a living Being, does not need to enter earthly life to become a living being. We speak of "the living God" after all.**************************************************************************************************************I think we've done this subject to death myself. We'll never convince Alter2Ego but his/her argument has been blown to bits by at least four of us here, there's no point in continuing.**************************************************************************************************************

Alter, the answer to you is that a "being" is not the simple single unit you keep insisting on, as the "eternal being" made flesh, that is the Son of God, has both spirit and body just like human beings, a body which is mortal and dies, a spirit which lives forever, and in the case of the Son of God having no beginning or end.=======================================================================================Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Eliyahu has just proposed a new thread on the subject of the Trinity, but since the subject was discussed fairly recently here there's really no need for a new thread on the subject.This thread was started by a Jehovah's Witness who is as concerned to argue that the Trinity is unbiblical as you are.You can find my answer to this challenge in Message 20 of this thread, and in a lengthy study at Blue Letter Bible, here. This is one of the few subjects that can only be answered by a list of scriptures that is too long to reproduce in a post. Here is a list of the topics covered in the outline: So he starts of course with the scriptures that affirm that God is One. The Trinity is revealed by the other scriptures that describe the Messiah as God and Jesus Christ as God, the Holy Spirit as God etc.So if you will consider this honestly you can see that the Trinity is definitely Biblical.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Again you confuse the Persons with the One God, the typical mistake Jehovah's Witnesses make.

Just happened to hear three really inspiring programs on Christian radio, one after the other, on a station that can be heard over the internet.Two of the programs were on the history of heresies in the Church. Tomorrow all three will be repeated but not at the same times as today. They are all listed on the program for Pacific time so you have to convert to your time if you want to hear them.Page not found | Pilgrim Radio
The programs are listed in the left margin.Phil Johnson of John MacArthur's Masters College on heresis in the 19th century, will be repeated tomorrow: Sun. 8am, 10pm PACIFIC TIME (noon Eastern...)R C Sproul on the 5th century heresy of Monophysitism which confounds the two natures of Christ. Last week he covered Arianism, which is the heresy of the Jehovah's Witnesses, so the timing is wrong for hearing that, but Monophysitism is also a JW heresy, so I thought Alter might be interested.
To be repeated tomorrow: Sun. 1pm, 9pm PACIFIC TIMEThe third program I happened to hear was Ravi Zacharias Sun. 1:30pm, 9:30pm PACIFIC TIME. Right after Sproul.Page not found | Pilgrim Radio
