Socrates may further challenge me by questioning the foundation of knowledge of a god's wishes, to which I would respond also with reference to the holy documents a person follows. As an questioner, myself, I wish that I would have had a chance to converse with Socrates on a variety of topics, for I believe he was a wise man, contrary to the assertions made to Euthyphro. Previously, I have questioned

Romans 8:11 provides that “All those who put their faith in Jesus Christ are immediately and permanently indwelt by the Holy Spirit.” 1 Corinthian 2:11(NIV) “For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.” The theological frame of this song stems from John revelation of the seven Spiritual expressions of the Holy Spirit
The gifts of the Holy Spirit were not something that were discussed a lot within my church as I was growing up. I feel like I do not know much about the gifts and therefore decided that this would be a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the gifts that people receive from the Holy Spirit. I also feel like people are better able to serve if they know what their gifts are and how God wants people to use the gifts that he has blessed them with. There are many gifts referred to throughout the bible

The repetition of the number seven is related to the seven deadly sins that she, as an innocent girl, has not had to deal with, and that’s why the sheets are spotless. As she matures and grows into a spiritual woman, she will have to overcome the temptation associated with the seven deadly sins. The first sins, Gluttony and Sloth, are shown when

We, the betrothed church, currently await the return of our Bridegroom to take us to the wedding chamber at the Rapture; where we will spend seven years with Him, while the Great Tribulation is occurring on the Earth.

His body, soul, mind, and spirit were of human origin. Chapter five expresses the truth that Jesus died and resurrected. Jesus was mortal and humble and, with His human nature, he suffered on the cross. Christians believe Jesus rose again on the third day. Chapter six expresses that after His resurrection, He ascended into heaven. Scripture says that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to earth to be with those who follow Christ. Saint Augustine explained in chapter seven that Jesus, following His ascension
In Book Thirteen of Confessions, Saint Augustine’s subject matter is the Holy Spirit, who is love. We are enlightened to the main point of his entire work. He believed that everything and everyone is connected to love. He said, when we share this love, which comes from the Holy Spirit, we are closest to God.

This likeness of God is mainly in the soul: soon or later the body will die or return to the ground but the soul is like God because it is a spirit having understanding and free will, and is destined to live forever. The first three Chapters of the Old Testament show that there has been some type of transition of Adam and Eve from the state of innocence and obedience to the state of disobedience
