There is a result coming from the heavenly, which is believed by faith in which concerning the spiritual you cannot see, though there is a result coming from the spirit of Christ. Jesus opens us up to the the spiritual side of things, but I can't see the holy spirit, or the spirit of Christ which is within me, it's believed in faith. Anyway, @Behold, hope you are doing well. God bless you on your journey.

The way we can see the Holy Spirit is by the evidence of how we are being changed .

This is the effect of the Power of Christ in us, who is The Holy Spirit.

"Christ is THAT Spirit"......... = "Christ IN YOU... the hope of Glory"... (/Glory is heaven).

To become "the Temple of the Holy Spirit" means that Jesus has moved inside us., and we are now "in Christ".

Consider that if you see a burned forest......still smoking, smoldering......then you see the result of the Fire, even tho you didn't see it burning.

The Holy Spirit is that fire, is that change agent, is that conviction in your conscience, is that unique sensitivity to sin, is that reason we want to avoid what does not make God happy.

Hello @Behold,

All the information is founded on the original post. If anyone wants to look and shift through it by all means I encourage them to do so. There are many smart people on here like yourself, all the best! If you ever want to make your own bible studies I encourage you to do so, people can gather off of your insights. I can't see anything spiritual. There are only results from faith. It's just like the promise of those "blessed are those who are pure in heart for they will see God." Which means they will see God in all things, in his working, and results. Whether or not the bad go to prison, or those whom once lived a life practiced with sin, start to die to that old life, walking in newness of life.

Do you own a bible?

That's a spiritual book.

See it?

When you read the NT, and it shows us that the 2nd Advent is coming after the Great Trib, and then the Millennial Reign starts.... you are seeing God's Spirit that has caused men to write this down.

That's all Spiritual.

See it?

Hello @Behold,

It's a material book. We might have differences and that is okay. I harbor no hatred or angst against you. I just hope you are doing well.

I made this thread 3 years ago, for the benefit in people to understand the line founded in Hebrews 11:6. I believe it does the job for anyone who wants to go through the information. If people don't care, that is fine too. ^_^ In this life, I'm thankful to have peace with God, in and through the Lord Yeshua. I hope the same for all other people in this life too, but some will worry about other things, and that to me is just fine.

Hello @Behold,

It's a material book.

The word of God is both literal and spiritual.

The reason that the word of God has to be "rightly divided" is because it has to be "Spiritually discerned".

Its not a dictionary,

Its the living word of the Living God, and that is why it gives you its LIGHT.

See,,,,,,,,,, there is Power, spiritual power, in the word of God, and that is why it will "never return void".

Notice this verse, and how Spiritual it is..

Paul wrote..

"""""""For the preaching of The Cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God"""""


Notice that He states truly that if you are saved, its based on the Power of GOD.. that is "the preaching"...

And what is Preaching?
Its using words, ......... found in the NT.., known as Paul's Gospel.

@MatthewG

Look again.

"It pleased GOD.......by the FOOLISHNESS of PREACHING....to save those who Believe"

See that?
That is words, being preached that are Spiritual, and have power........

Hello @Behold,

I don't want to go through all this rhetorical work you are producing. Yes, the book is material, and you learn about the spiritual, but God is spirit and outside the realms of a book itself. Anyway, can you just answer me a question?

Did you read the whole original post?
