Yours is obviously manipulated. The search results has only 3 pages. Such amount of mentions won't be contained in just 3 pages. It isn't real.

Bishopkingsley:
You need the holy spirit in your life to help you dominate sin and kill the desire of sin without the holy spirit you will fail stop fighting and ask God to give you the holy spirit

Good, that's why i said it's hard even though it's possible. Now,i wanna ask, btw the rich and the poor(including those experiencing hardship), who finds it more difficult to live a perfect christian life?

1 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Matthew 6:1‭-‬4 NIV

19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 6:19‭-‬21 NIV

11 Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13 And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. 14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.

Don't worry, you will have an epiphany sooner or later. Your posts have shown your depth. I say no more

Oh! This is so sweet and true, I just had to speak up on seeing this.

Psalm 23:4 "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for though art with me"

Of course, this can only be where the Lord is Truly your Shepherd!

I don't buy it too as I know fot aWhen Jesus Christ, the one who is God over our lives, taught us how to pray. He gave us a prayer we can say in about 30 seconds....giving us more than enough time to focus on other things also necessary for a well-grounded life in Jesus Christ.

Men have instead taken to seeking glory in speaking of praying for hours on end- something Jesus Christ never taught us to do - proclaiming they do it on behalf of the one who said those who belong to Him are those who do what He asks. Those decieved by these things are those who don't know what Jesus Christ truly commands.

Kobojunkie:
Jesus Christ told us that it is not what we eat that makes us unclean or defiles us, so we are already made good in that department- Matthew 15 vs 10 - 20

If you do the will of the enemy you will definitely be clashing with Holy people (saints) intentionally or intentionally.

You contradict yourself.

You have clearly showed the holy spirit is not a person. If Jesus was filled with it, how is it a person?

awitness41:
I truly believe all of Proverbs 8 was simply referring to "wisdom".
Solomon wrote Proverbs, and being given great wisdsom by God, Solomon was enamored with wisdom.
In fact, several others Proverbs chapters deal with the topic, and Solomon often "personifies" wisdom as a person, such as using "I" or "she".

Of course, many times in the Bible, Verses purposely do have double meanings.
For example, in Matthew 17:
25 And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, "What do you think, Simon?
From whom do the kings of the earth take customs or taxes, from their sons or from strangers?"
26 Peter said to Him, "From strangers."
Jesus said to him, "Then the sons are free."

Obviously, if we're sons of God, then we'll be "free"... much like the Truth sets us free (from sin).
And if we're free from sin, then surely we'll be taken to Heaven and freed from the penalty of permanent (2nd) death in Hell Fire.

But in the case of Proverbs 8... I truly believe it is only "wisdom" that Solomon was talking about.
I think if you read from Proverbs 1 through 8, this becomes even more clear.

Can we chat?

You didn't even answer any of my questions! What power of the trinity? If the trio are God, why are you not bringing in the holy spirit into John 1:1..why are you bringing only two?

26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

Genesis 1:26 NIV

7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

8 When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment:

9 about sin, because people do not believe in me;

John 16:7‭-‬9 NIV

12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.

13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.

15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”

John 16:12‭-‬15 NIV

26 “When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me.

27 And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.


John 15:26‭-‬27 NIV

awitness41:
Proverbs 8:22‭-‬31, the whole Chapter actually, is merely talking about "wisdom", not Jesus.

To the one who started this post - he asks valid questions.

There is God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit... true, they all exist.
But they are not the same.
Regarding God and Jesus... when Jesus claims to be "One" with His Father God, He is talking Spiritually and in Authority.
But Jesus did not pray to Himself while on Earth.
Nor when He ascended to Heaven did He sit at His own right hand.

Let me also ask all of you to please consider this:

John 5:21 (NKJV): For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will.
John 5:26 (NKJV): For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself...

In addition to Spiritually giving Life, John 5:26 also means that Jesus can create matter from nothing at all... something which no Angel can do, but only God and Jesus.

Now, at the very beginning - before the first atom, molecule, planet, or being - there was God alone.
For Jesus did not create God, just as a son cannot create his own parent, nor can a son come before their own parent.
God, therefore, MUST HAVE created Jesus... at the very beginning, before anything else (even an atom) was made.

In addition, God taught Jesus everything, gave Him every ability, and also gave His Son all authority over everything that would be made.

In essence, Jesus was just like God, for even though the Father is greater than Jesus (John 14:28), God gave Jesus every God-like trait.

(Therefore, it is no affront to God when Thomas refers to Jesus as "my Lord and my God"... because to us puny human beings, Jesus can be considered as One with His Father, or as God is, even though Jesus Himself is not God.)

To note: Jesus was not an Angel, just as God is not an Angel... for Angels were created by Both sometime afterward.

Now, on to Creation.
We know this is also true (John 1:3): nothing was made without Jesus also being present to make it.
That includes the first atom, the first molecule, the first planet, and the first beings... all of which God and Jesus created.
And to do that, Jesus also had to be given the ability to create matter from nothing at all, just like God can.

Consider our own body temples... a mass of atoms and molecules that would otherwise have no Life unless God and Jesus also put our own Spirit within us.
Thus, God and Jesus also make the visible (the body) and the invisible (the Spirit of Life in flesh that allows the atoms and molecules to become a living being).
Can we do that ? No.
Can Angels do that ? No.
Only God and Jesus can.

Why can't we simply believe that Jesus is just like God His Father in all ways - Spirit, form, and authority - but is Himself not God, but only God's Son ?
Why not ? It's the Truth.
That's because God, the Greater One, made it that way !

And you can all find the Scriptures that support this... without saying explicity that "God created Jesus".

I know the arguers will argue.

But if we actually think about what is presented to us in Scripture, ALL Verses included, then we can, in Truth, draw no other conclusion (nor can anyone disprove this using un-manipulated Scripture).

34 Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.

35 [b]For those who find me find life[/b]and receive favor from the Lord.

36 But those who fail to find me harm themselves; all who hate me love death.”

Proverbs 8:34‭-‬36 NIV
