MWD, what is the difference between a spirit and a ghost? You compared spirits to emotions, but they are hardly the same. Emotions are FEELINGS. G-d doesn't change our feelings or emotions.

Free will and all that.

What He does do is give us free reign. If our inclination is evil, then He will stiffen our will (harden our hearts) so we will do what we WANT to do if we just weren't afraid of the consequences. If we are inclined to good we do good.

If we are inclined to evil -- give us free reign and see if we will "reign over it" (Genesis 4:7) and be good or let our evil inclination run free.

See the difference between ghosts and a meddling god who plays with people ala Apol-lo or Ze-us? This is NOT the G-d of Israel. He created us with the ability to become great through growth. Whether we become great or not is up to us.

He doesn't "meddle." Oh sure -- He'll do some altering things like part a red sea or two, but who stayed Haman's hand -- G-d or Esther? In other words He knows all. His greatest gift to us is US. Our free will and ability to choose.

And live with the choice. Ah, there is the rub.

We make our choices. We have the power. We have the consequences. Ghosts? Worthless. Spirit (even emotions) what is that? It is the test and gift by G-d.

You choose. Just like Cain.

You choose.

Thomas -- you seem like a very angry person. What would make you think I would be "deliberately" antagonizing you? Two people can have a disagreement without either of them being antagonistic.

There is a clear contradiction in the GT where Jsus first says that only one witness isn't enough (this is Jewish law BTW which states there must be two eye witnesses). So your statement that one can be a self-witness if the person is speaking from experience is false. It goes against Jewish law. The difference yet again shows that whoever wrote the Greek Text was not Jewish and did not know Jewish law.

The two statements (one can't be a sole witness / yes one can be a sole witnesses) conflict. The first is according to Jewish law, the second is against it.

These types of contradictions are rife in the Greek Text. Now if it upsets you to have these pointed out to you the solution is simple: find another forum. The purpose of this forum is to counter false missionary claims.
