Man is a Spirit
they were in the midst of the spirit being led by Him. As Y`shua was fully anointed of the Spirit. The fullness of it had not come until the Word fulfilled the Will & Testimony.
After which -as promised, the word did not return empty, accomplishing that desire and the Teacher came to them, and upon the 'gentiles' who believed.
Do you know WHY they didn't understand him?
Sorry, it had nothing to do with the Holy Spirit.
The natural man does not believe in your crazed invisible entity.
It takes indoctrination to believe the pile in the bible, as it does with the taliban or any other religious fanaticism.Just because I do not believe in your invisible hate-filled fairy has nothing to do with what I believe otherwise.
I don't wade in dog dung either. Why don't you read outside the "truth" You may grow out of your pathetic reliance on a sky fairy.
Hey Qwark, you didn't seriously think you were going to get an answer?
But, now that I said something, watch someone answer. Let me guess!
- the fish will be along soon.
I knew that! I just took the opportunity to use the typo to have a laugh.
Australian humour can be a little different, you see I saw humour in it.I hate Freudian slips. I make far too many of them!
Never was a fan of Freud!
There is much truth in what you've posted. All things are spiritually begotten before they are temporally. All spirit is matter but exists on a much more refined platform than we can physically see. Many would do well to consider what the inner spirit is telling them rather than to listen to the flesh. My opinion.
Having a soul is the same as excruciating pain in which a doctor has to reset the soul back into place, put a cast on it and let it heal until it goes away?
Interesting.

So, another angle on the god thing.
Man's spirit has nothing to do with any gods.OK, well we can close on the dust at least.
It's beyond belief is what it is!
And, I'm pretty sure many people of the religious faith don't understand what it really means to be "re-born" as in what Jesus' was talking about. The version in all the bibles have been twisted in order to keep the "god" concept a hidden hoax.
It's unfortunate. But, if you do the historical research, and not limiting yourself to only certain areas, but to encompass all historic accounts, then you find out the real answer to what it means to be "re-born" -(*hint: it's a metaphor for what?).
Just a thought.
Btw- It's worth the research.

That you can think of? Maybe you've not learned enough? Hmmmm.......?
- I would take this on but in the mood I am in I would hurt some story tellers feelings. Enjoy your fairy tales and make sure you sleep with the closet light on. Boogie monster is roaming.
Hmmmm......?
You don't say?
Really? Hmmm.....?
Interesting, and you back this up how?
With a limited understanding of your own religion. How nice of you?- Twenty One Daysposted 15 years ago0

Andrew - I am sure you are a nice guy but I have to say that you come over as a rambling loonie. The mumbo jumbo came about when christianity met other religions. Christians traded off their spirits and lost souls for the demons and boogie men of the more exotic religions - so that they could claim them as christians.
You talk the same ethereal wish wash that the majick people have made up from supposedly ancient stuff that was really invented in the late middle ages as the anti of religion.
BUT - I have to say you come over as a nice guy, so hi

I just went to another forum, back now. I am too old and unworthy of such a proposal.
You have listed some of my favourites here.
Have you read the "puer papers?" That took me 2 years to read and understand.It was a nightmare as was Puella. I discovered a way of understanding several writers, by reading about the feeling function! When one tries to express or understand the feeling function, words need to sort of soak in at first. it is very difficult to express feelings in a book without resorting to a sort of mystical way of understanding in my view.
I had to live with the "not knowingness" for quite a while.
I am sorry you lost your mom. It is always too soon for me.
Dad and mom lived into their seventies despite mum being type one diabetic and dad having been blown to pieces at 24 by 11 detonators and a full stick of gelignite going off while he carried them, blowing his hand off and blinding him for more than a year, and small pieces off bone fragments breaking through his skin right up till he died of kidney failure at 77.
He was generous with his time and happy for most of his life, as was mom.
You look about twenty! Good genes eh?Earnest I am sooo sorry about your parents. What a horrible thing to happen to your Dad.
My mom died from Lymphoma and my dad got some Melanomas on his back which he did not have removed. They worked their way into his lungs (he didn't smoke) and grew to a large cancer. He actually had parts of his lungs that came up into his throat and he would cough them up.
OK here goes..I will be 41 in May. I do have good genes but..
I wear eye makeup blush and lipstick. I have never worn base makeup because it causes clogged and gaping pores, blackheads and acne.
I eat right and only a little meat once in awhile.
I exercise..I have never smoked. I have a drink of wine about twice a year during the holidays.
I have never done drugs.
I use a special over the counter product on my face.
Thank you for the twenties compliment. I have been told thirties before but never twenties.
I have one son who is twenty.41? You do have good genes! Sorry to hear how you lost your parents too. Life is a very tough road. I have a female friend like you. She is 40 going on 20 too.
I am glad you look after yourself, it sure helps, wish I had!
So far, I have managed to break all my fingers, including both thumbs, 3 ribs, 1 leg, my nose and I have scars on most of me from one mishap or another. Most of which I got working in the outback as a kid. I started work at 6 years of age and did not go to school. My total formal education spanned a mere 3 years. We had what we called "correspondent school" where lessons were sent though the mail. We had always moved house before they arrived! Dad was a logging contractor and we moved every few months.
I taught myself later in life. I feel the lack of formal education suited me, as it enabled me to seek and think for myself at an early age.
I went on to be a corporate consultant, and have owned 10 businesses, so life has been fabulous to me!
I was going to list my books here, but a quick look at my office bookshelf would indicate 4 big shelves and over 250 books on psychology! I have been reading Jung for 30 years now.
Aw so you've been reading him since you were 5 years old..cool.
- I wish!
I have been married 2 times, both to women who did not need or wear make-up apart from my second wife who wore a bit of shadow and lipstick when going out for the night.
I agree, that stuff has got to hurt your skin!
As we get older we lose so much! I lost 3 of my older friends in the last few years, mentors some with knowledge that is gone forever, except for the little bits I could glean.
One of them was in his 80's and a remarkable mechanical engineer.
His innovative engine design was still in his head when he died.
I cursed him silently at his funeral for leaving me! He foolishly finished 18 holes of golf with a chest pain, came home and died. I was so angry with him!
My ribs hurt like hell as you have observed! The fingers and thumbs were pretty sore also. I had very little medical attention as we lived so deep in the bush.
Thank you for your observation about my education. I forgot to tell you my learning secret! I started teaching myself to read beyond grade school level through the love of olde English. I read the original Dracula written in the old language and discovered I loved English. The words thrilled me!
My mom then bought me 100 droll stories by Honore De Balzac in paperback. I very quickly learnt to read it, the meaning often coming a while after the reading, made understandable by context.
My love of Jung the same at first, but by then I had a stack of dictionaries and a thirst for knowledge that seemed insatiable.
I was lucky enough to have the money and time to spend 3 years in psychotherapy with the great Peter O'Connor, and by going twice a week managed 6 years worth of therapy. Very tough, but I loved it anyway.It was after this experience that I read the puer papers, and had a lot of help with the concepts therein from Peter.
I went on to do psychology at one of our Universities that allows people with no formal education to enrol. It has been an interesting and exciting journey!
Thank you for your kind interest and compliment on my "education"
