What God is doing within the human spirit?

[rebbell]

 

You claim, "Our one God has 7 Spirits."  Well, apparently the Holy Spirit is called 7 spirits in Revelation and the Lord Jesus has the Holy Spirit.   But that is different from saying God has 7 spirits and that these are dispersed in the Body of Christ (the Church).    In fact God is A spirit.  He has no body that would "have" a spirit or spirits.  A demon possessed person might have 7 spirits!

 

Your teaching sounds like strange incense.

Revelations ch.4v5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning befor the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

One really should read the Word of God. Try reading 10, 12 hrs a day not 10, 15 minutes a day.

HE is my life.

God bless you

There is one God. God the Creator. Our one God has 7 Spirits. Those 7 Spirits are dispersed among believers of the body of Christ. Those believers believe in the methods in which they have followed and been taught by traditional teachings. When one spirit comes into contact with a spirit of different teachings, there is a problem and fighting occurs. Everyone wants to be right.

Now, if a person believes the Word of God, it tells us "ALL things are of GOD", and "ALL good things come FROM God". So, if a believer is indeed a believer, one will recognize that just because someone has a different understanding than you, they are still of the same body, but you are a hand and they are a foot.

Who is wrong???

Even the spirit of perdition has a job to do for the Lord. If it were not for the spirit of perdition, how would we know good fruit from rotten fruit?

God bless you

I guess Hitler was a good example of bad....     actually a really good example....

 Yes, other one, I agree with that.

God bless you

Of course God is omnipresent.  So He is within & without everything.  But what leads you to suppose that one can talk of "the human spirit" and God doing something in the human spirit, as if there were one collective human spirit?

 

One might ask what is God doing in the Church, the Body of Christ.  One might ask what does God do inside a Christian human being.

 

Christ may dwell in the Christian human's heart by faith (Eph 3).  In Eph 3 it appears that what Christ does there results in the Christian being rooted and grounded in love with the further result of him being filled to all the fullness of Godf.

 ????????????????????

sounds like someone is having a bad evening. I love you anyway. May God take your pain and fill it with joy.

God bless you

God has no body.....   hummmm......

 

 

Gen 1:26

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

God has no body.  God is a spirit.  You quote Gen 1:26.

 

26 on the Image of God.  I need to look at that teaching again, but when I checked out the doctrine of "Image of God," looking at all the Bible passages, I came to the conclusion that it referred to dominion, rulership (not metaphysics):  Man was made to have rulership over the earth.  Check & see if you agree that every time "Image of God" is used, dominion, rulership is not in context.

 

This helps us understand 1 Cor 11 where it seems implied that man (the male) is in the image of God; but not the woman, who is in the image of man.  Thus women should wear head covering, but not men (in a church service) -- BTW, 1 Cor 11 may be the most disobeyed scripture in the Bible by Christians (aside from loving neighbor as self!).  A denial that woman is made in the image of God makes sense in that context, if the implication is that men are to rule over women! 

 

(How politically incorrect! -- Could it be that the destruction of the USA stems from women getting the right to vote & then being in majority rule men???  Is it not women who elect the liberals? -- I am already ducking from the rocks coming.) 

 

Whereas in Genesis, both men & women are in the image of God, and the issue is ruling over animals & plants.

 

In this regard it may be noted that judges are called "gods" in the OT, as they stand in the place of God giving judgment. 

 

Similarly, my understanding of Image of God in Genesis 9 is that capital punishment is proper, because man is made in the Image of God & thus can exercise (as surrogate) God's dominion right to execute murderers -- it is not that murder is a crime vs a person who is in God's image, but that the judge is in the Image of God in executing murderers.

 

On the basis that Image of God refers to dominion, then the attempt to claim that because God is a Trinity, thus man also has 3 parts (body, soul, spirit) instead of just two (body & spirit; with "soul" being a functional term referring to life or self -- "there are 40 souls on ship").

 

At any rate, the fact that man is made in God's image does not imply that man has a body.  It should be a profitable study to consider in what ways man is like God & in what ways man is not like God.

As I already posted, "Image of God" does not imply that God has a body.  Rulership is a possible explanation of the Image (God is ruler).  1 Cor 11 seems to imply thus that men are in God's image, but not women in marriage, perhaps in general society (as opposed to both in God's image vis-a-vis animals).  Thus some might speculate that giving women the right to vote made women the rulers over men (since women are the majority) and to be blamed for the liberal degeneration of the USA.

 

I am digressing from the topic, but I came across a very politically incorrect study in Psychology Today, which I hope you find humorous, selections below:

"All the single ladies, now put your hands up...for Obama.  It is an incredible voting statistic from the 2012 presidential election. The exit polls revealed that 55 percent of women voted for Obama. With women making up 53 percent of the U.S. electorate, one could argue that the female vote decided the outcome of the 2012 US presidential election.

 

"Following Beyonce’s advice, 67 percent of unmarried women decided to vote for Obama, whereas Romney received a meager 31 percent among this group of voters—a whopping 36 percent difference. Interestingly, this trend was slightly reversed among married women, with 53 percent preferring Romney over Obama.

 

"The study, led by Kristina Durante from the University of Texas at San Antonio—soon to be published in the prestigious journal Psychological Science—suggests that women’s preferences for Obama versus Romney fluctuate across the menstrual cycle, where estrogen, progesterone, and other hormones wax and wane.1 The study caused a bit of an uproar in the media when the results first came out, leading to a retraction of the story from the CNN journalist for reasons unclear to us.
