Judy, you are not hearing Bill if you accuse him of a lying spirit. Let me show you why I say this. Bill had asked you: > I believe he was fruit of David's genitals according > to the flesh, Judy. Do you believe the same? You responded: > No; my belief is that Jesus was fathered in the womb > of Mary by the Holy Spirit Why is the flesh connection > so important to you Bill? What we have here is you denying that Jesus was the fruit of David's genitals according to the flesh. Then you asked, "why is the flesh connection so important." Bill answers you: 1 John 4:3 (3) And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. The connection of Jesus to the flesh is important because Scripture makes it important. It warns us that the spirit of antichrist denies that he was flesh. It seeks to make people believe that he was not really in the flesh, but that he had a different nature. There is great power that comes to believers when they perceive that he was just like us in all points, except that he never succombed to temptation and sinned. You have some tough passages of Scripture to explain, Judy. How about starting with Acts 2:30, Acts 2:30 (30) Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; It seems pretty clear to me that you answered Bill "No," in direct contradiction to this passage. How are you going to respond? David Miller ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
