I am in no way defending JudgeRightly, but we ARE our spirit. Our flesh is made alive by our spirit. When our flesh body dies, we will live on in our spirit which looks exactly like us.
I know! I'm not sure that we'll look like us physically, but the rest, I agree with.
GT, I've just been reading through your posts to me, you need to stop condemning me and calling me all sorts of things, just because I don't agree with some things that you believe in, doesn't mean that I'm the things that you have been calling me. I don't say things about you like that, do I? You need to stop being so aggressive, I'm only speaking with you and explaining what I believe. I'm not going against you personally.
So please stop saying things about me, you don't know my heart, and one day you could be sitting next to me in heaven and then how will you feel? I've forgiven you completely, we may well disagree on certain things GT, and I know that you are fervent in your beliefs, but you need the stop taking everything so personally.
We might not all understand the scriptures fully, and some will have more understanding than others, but God loves us all, and if we belong to him then we should have the same heart as Christ and love others too, regardless of what they say and do to us. And God will give us more understanding, the more we let go of this world and walk with him in Spirit and truth.
Anyway, I'm going to explain what I mean about the Holy Spirit.
I believe that there are ministering Spirits in heaven, these are Holy, they belong to God and they minister the word that they are given to speak into our hearts, they all speak the one word and have the same heart and mind in God and they are one and God and Christ are at one with them.
I believe that they are those who have had Christ in their hearts in their lifetime and they still have his life within them when they go into the next life, and they bring his life and the love of God and Christ into our hearts once we are born of God. And as the Spirit changes our hearts, Christ is made manifest within our hearts and in our lives and we are changed, from corruptible flesh to incorruptible flesh, sealed by the Holy Spirit as long as we remain in God's goodness, and once we are quickened by the spirit, we are raised with Christ, taken out of this world and we then walk in Spirit and worship the father in Spirit and in truth. Being ministered to daily by the Holy Spirit within, giving us what to say from God through Christ, and feeding and guiding us in our hearts, guiding us through conscience and through the word and life in others.
Now that's my beliefs, answer me by all means, but please try to refrain from calling me all sorts of false things, remember you don't know my heart, and you said to someone else that as they judge they are judged, well that goes do me and you too!
God looks at the heart, first and foremost. And if our heart is right before God, then he will give us progressive revelation and we will see more and more of his glorious light.
My husband had to go to hospital the other day to have an x-ray, when we went to the doctor for the results, they told us what they had seen. And what he needed to fix him. Anyway they gave us the report and it told us all sorts about the condition his heart and lungs etc. And I thought this is like the Holy Spirit, we only see our outside and this life is so important to us, but once we are born of God, the Spirit shows us what condition we are like inside and he shows us where we are going wrong, he shines a great big light into our hearts and not only shows us the things of God but he also shows us where we are going wrong, and he then helps us to fix it if we are willing to live by the will of God.
Many think that once they are born of God, they can live as they please, but this isn't the truth. God shows us for what we really are, and this should humble us and make us ashamed of what we've done, and make us ready to repent, then turn from sin and live by the will of God. Which those truly born of God should want to do. We should want to please our father, obey him, live by his will, worship him in Spirit and in truth, and truly follow Jesus.
