Christ in Hebrew is defined as "Anointed one". In the OT one who is anointed as David was, becomes a King, or a Prophet, or a Deliverer. Ha Mashiah. In Greek he is referred to as the Christos. Jesus became anointed by the Holy Spirit upon being baptized by John. It was then he became the Christ and was empowered by the Holy Spirit to begin His ministry to gather His sheep and deliver whosoever believeth from sin. The bible also refer's to the Holy Spirit as the spirit of Christ. Romans 8:9

Will the Unbelieving Dead Become Non-Existent? (Annihilationism)
Whosoever replied to angels4u's topic in Study Group
All are accountable for their own sins. Nevertheless, God, of His own name "chose" to die for us on OUR cross and forgive "ALL". Now therefore there are no longer any excuses. Those who end up in hell will remain there eternally. Read your bible, it is very, very clear. The lake of fire which burns forever, there you will find the beast, the false prophet and the beast who them them their power as well as all his minions and followers. Game over! -
Capitalist = King of my own Castle Christian = Bond Servant of my Lord Christ Jesus Capitalist = Opportunity falls from heaven, but if you don't know how to make the deal, it will slip through your fingers. Christian = Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven, and all these things will be given unto you. Capitalist = Seeks his/her own fortune Christian = Ask the Father for anything in my name (Jesus), and He will give it. Look! God is a "HOLY" Monarch; A Loving Father. He, not Capitalism, has made us His Children, and to be Kings and Priests while on this earth. Soloman humbled himself and asked God for wisdom when he was anointed by the Holy Spirit as king. As God's anointed, we can ask the same, and it doesn't matter what form of governamental environment you happen to reside under. God is not a respector of people or governments.

First off, not everything you see in the movies or read in novels or see in pictures is actually how things happened back then. We can however, from our own recent history know that executions, that occur outdoors, are not done without preparations. The Old West hangings for example. Without preparing the platforms you could not have a "LEGAL" hanging. The cross required a platform. How did they get those things up and then take them down. The romans had a very deadly weapon called a Catapult. It raised up and after it fired it had a retrievel system that aloud for reloads. A cross could be picked up by a catapult type of system, the platform, and then allowed to slide down onto the base in the ground which, like a crane if you will, and retrieved off the base and laid back down. They did all with ropes. I'm not suggesting that this method is what was used, but they did have the technology to accomplish such a task. Preparing the platform was the key.

Jesus says: "NO ONE comes to the Father but by me". "I never knew you". The keys here are: No one and You. In other words you get to choose eternal life or eternal damnation. If Jesus never knew you, it's because you never asked, you never knocked, you never attempteds to reach out to Him. God has made it very clear that through His Son all men have been pardoned. However, you have the right to reject the pardon and you have the right to go to hell. Judas, the original 12th disciple was not called, he followed Jesus but was weak in faith, yeilded to temptation and rest is history. It takes TWO to have a relationship. It takes One to have a religion. If you're not in a relationship with the one you love, how can the one you love know you. If you're not in that relationship with Jesus, well, the rest is history, and your stuck with you're self serving religion.

When people refer to Jesus as "Jesus Christ"...
Whosoever replied to Marston's topic in General Discussion
Jesus is God's word who was from the begining. The word became flesh and lived 33 years in the flesh. He rose in His new body a new creation. When Jesus was baptised by water and the Holy Spirit fell upon Him, He became the "Messiah", or the "Christ", and His ministry began. The bible says that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ. He is in us and we are in Him and we are One. Jesus Christ resonates as oneness. Christ Jesus points to Jesus as Christ. -
Man will end up in one of "TWO" places/Realm - either with God, or with Demons. Corinthians says we will be One with GOD. Jesus says "where i am so shall you be also". Material and/or Spiritual, NOT SOULICAL. I will agree with you on this one thing though; because our consceince and awarness is invisible, yet it is material and carnal, I would not be opposed to considered the soul as being the spiritual part of the body, but not a Spiritual entity. God created us that way so that even while the body is in the grave yet God can speak to us and also hear us even while in the grave, not in a spiritual place. Jesus speaks to those in the grave, Samuel the prophet was awakened from his grave, God says to Cain, "your brothers blood cries out to me from the grave". The soul remained one with the body. Before God poured out His spirit upon all flesh, Jesus set the captives free. There were witnesses that testified seeing the dead walking among them. Those who are not born again and must face the white throne judgment of God will do so in the second death; so we see a first resurrection in the spirit at Jesus second coming, and then the second death, the first death being the grave and the second death being present before God but not with a changed body or a twinkling of an eye, but rather the soul.

Brethrin, There are only two realms. There are not three. There is the material realm and there is the spiritual realm, there is not a soulical realm. Jesus did not say, Father I commend my Soul unto you. The spiritual realm is actually separated by two distinct referrences; Heaven and Hell. Now do we say that man posseses one of two spirits, a heaven one and a Hell one. No we wouldn't say that. So how does it work. Life, which is what we received when God breathed into our nostrils produces a conscience/awareness. The conscience or life, goes on existing in the spiritual realm. We don't get material bodies after death. Now bear with me. If one goes to Hell, the presence of God is absent, since they rejected and rebelled against God, God isn't going to force them to live with Him eternally. When God is absent there is a Void and Formless body, certainly not in HIS likeness. Jesus describes it as such. The bible says to the elect however, that we are changed and receive new bodies, like Jesus got at His resurrection. We are not formless and void of Gods image, presence or light. On the other side, there is only a spiritual body, not a soulical one, and we become One spirit with God.

Your question is deep. The answer is this: Everything in the creation (the whole material universe) has this one thing in common. God, Romans tells us, that the entire creation has been subjected unto futility "...by Him who subjected it"; with a capital "H" or GOD! Why? Because appart from finding God through faith, all other attempts will be FUTILE! Futility simply means: Always searching, but never finding. Another way: Chasing our tails endlessly. Extraterestrials, if they're so inteligent and have figured everything out, what are they searching for...HUMMMM? Why are they here? If they have found "NERVANA" why the heck do they need us? If you say will they are conquerers, well then I say they're searching for power and not happy with what they have, and that gives us all commality doesn't it? FUTILITY? More, More, More, yet never enough. Romans tells us that the creation will come out of it's futility at the revealing of the children of GOD. GOD is revealed through the Gospel, the good news that God has set us free, and we, His children have been given the power to preach the Gospel and to tell these creatures that they need to travel no further, that they have found their deliverance, for behold, you stand amidst the children and family of our Lord God Jesus the Christ. We have been created to reveal the righteousness of God to the entire creation. They are no exception, and God does not compromise.

The Name of God אהיה pronounced Ey yah I AM
Whosoever replied to BornAgain490's topic in General Discussion
Before Moses, there was Abraham. Abraham called Him Lord or YHYH. Personally, I don't believe anyone is going to Hell because we call God by our language translation. Why? Because if that is the "LAW" why isn't written in the Commandments of God or the Commandments of Jesus. Jesus heals, delivers, raises the dead, by those calling Him; Son of David, Rabbi, Lord, Master, Teacher. Jesus din't flinch at any one of them. Don't get religious, just focus on the relationship. -
A "True born again Believer" can not be possessed. That doesn't mean temptation to sins are eliminated, but that is not demon possession. Jesus, in several passages of the new testament, states clearly what a clean kingdom of heaven, our spiritual realm, looks like. If you read them carefully, you will understand that Jesus is telling us that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and anything we yield to, that is opposite of what He states is clean in His kingdom, reveals that we are not seeking first the kingdom of heaven but rather fulfilling our temptations and seeking temptations. In the Kingdom of Heaven, there are no liers, cheaters, fornicators, drunkerds, etc, etc. Things ought not be found in your heart. You can ask God for forgiveness, that's fine, but at some point you must remove your seeking fantasies to satisfy the flesh and invest your soul life principles of God's Kingdom. The bible says only the righteous enter the kingdom of heaven. Righteousness is not acted out with drama. Righteousness means we are right or "ONE" with God. Like a marriage. Being born again takes us from condimnation and hell to becoming children of a LIVING GOD, and by "RESISTING" the devil and all his temptations, the devil will "FLEE" from us. I was at a Christian open concert one day, and a man I had never met, who apparantly knew me, stood next to me and whispered in my ear that he was a sorcerer sent by satan to put a curse on me, and then began to speak his curse, which I will not mention here. To make a long story short, when he finished, I smiled, looked at him right to his face and deep in his eyes, and I said that I am the redeemed of the Lord God Almighty, a child of the king, and here is what the Holy Spirit says to you. Every curse you directed at me will be turned toward you by ten fold, and today God has given you into my hand in order to rebuke you before these witnesses and you will begin to feel the ramifications of your grave error...BE GONE SATAN. We'll he fled. God has given us His power through His word, if we "SEEK" it so when the time comes we'll be empowered by it.
