At physical birth human beings are dichotomous: body and soul [home of our rational thought, memory center and volition]; at the moment of spiritual birth through faith alone in Christ alone the Holy Spirit imputes a Human Spirit [now trichotomous with body, soul and spirit] which enables all believers to understand and assimilate absolute truth from the Word of God.

Originally posted by twhiteheadYes, twhitehead, God has made provision for all believers in Christ to grow in grace and knowledge in order that they may mature as members of His Royal Family. When you learn who Christ is you begin to share His thinking which becomes the measure of your own thinking, conscience, priorities, tranquility of soul and relaxed mental attitude toward all mankind. Considering the "fleeting vapor trail" brevity of our lives on planet earth, ignoring the certainty of eternity is suicidal.
What a pity that you are the only believer in the World. Makes one wonder why you even bothered to say 'all believers' when you could have just said 'me'.

Since what I said seems to have gone right over your head, let me try and explain it again:
You said:
.... which enables all believers to understand and assimilate absolute truth from the Word of God.
Now given that what you promote as the truth is noticeably different from what every other Christian I meet promotes as the truth, I can only conclude that those other Christians are not actually believers as they have clearly failed to assimilate the absolute truth from the Word of God as you have.
From that I conclude that you are the only actual believer.
Now do you disagree with my conclusion and if so, what is wrong with my argument, or with your original claim?

God is invisible? So is that pink unicorn lookying over your shoulder.
Don't be silly.
Technology can detect what we know exists in the physical realm. The spirit isn't physical.
"God is invisible?"
Invisible to the physical senses. Just give in to it!
"So is that pink unicorn lookying over your shoulder."
You can see Invisible Pink Unicorns? WOW! I'm impressed!
"Don't be silly."
What? And stop posting in this forum? No way!

Here is a challenge to anyone that claims that truth can reliably be obtained form the Bible:
Find me three people who are able to obtain the truth from the Bible.
Allow me to interview them and ask them some questions to which they must respond with some of this truth.
I will then compare the answers they give and see if they match.
Who here thinks they would match?

twhitehead, learning is all about priorities and motivation in any academic realm. "God has made provision for all believers in Christ to grow in grace and knowledge in order that they may mature as members of His Royal Family." Whether individual Christians avail themselves of the opportunity is a matter of positive or negative volition and between them and God.

twhitehead, as a person who has apparently rejected God's grace gift of eternal life with a decision to choose for rather than against Christ and relationship with Him you are incapable of understanding biblical truth. I pray you'll change your mind.
