What does "spirit" mean here?

"The term “spirit” is used as a general term to describe the “born again” man who in controlled by the Spirit rather than by his inherited flesh. 

But there is nothing airy, ghostly, immaterial, about this born again man; even though it is said of him, “That which is born of the Spirit is spirit,” he sits in a pew in the church!

If you view this passage through the lens of the believer in an

immortal soul, then you may indeed have difficulty with it, and assume that it refers to departed saints, but.... Some view it as we do. Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown, in their comment on this text, remark:
'“Spirit and spirits are used of a man or men in the body, under the influence of the spirit the opposite of flesh.” (John 3.6)

Adam Clarke, Methodist commentator, remarks on this text:
"The spirits of the just men made perfect, or the righteous perfect, are the full grown Christians; those who are justified by the blood and sanctified by the Spirit of Christ. Being come to such implies the spiritual union which the disciples of Christ have with each other, and which they possess how far so ever separate; for they are all joined in one spirit, Ephesians 2:18; they are in the unity of the spirit, Ephesians 4:3,4."

Creation Moment 8/2/2025 - State of "Consensus Science"

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,.... 

Romans 1:22

"The headline from Darren at Popular Mechanics (July 2025): “Scientists Found a Black Hole That Shouldn’t Exist. Now Physics Has a Problem.”

According to the standard model of black hole formation, there’s a mass gap—a no-go zone—between about 50 and 120 solar masses. When stars that massive die they explode so violently that they don’t leave behind a black hole, or … so says the theory. And yet there it is, a black hole smack in the middle of the forbidden zone, weighing in at 72 solar masses.

This is a celestial singularity in a mass range that physics says should be impossible. Like the mature galaxies JWST is revealing at red-shifts where they cannot be … theoretical faults are opening up across the scientific spectrum, and the consensus is quaking.

What follows is the predictable flurry of patchwork explanations: maybe it’s a merger of smaller black holes. Maybe the models need tweaking. Maybe pair-instability supernovae don’t behave quite like we thought. The desperation is increasing, but they placed their bets long ago and now … they will double-down.
And yet, despite the headlines and hedging, the logical conclusion following the evidence is almost never spoken aloud: maybe we don’t know what we think we know. Science has wandered far from “scientific skepticism,” from accepting its own ignorance, from allowing the observations to lead the conclusions.

In both the micro and macro realms, the same pattern emerges: the deeper we peer, the more the standard expectations unravel, and not just in the mutable details, but in the underlying assumptions.

Consensus science has never been more technologically capable, and never more epistemologically fragile."

The words “once more”

"For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth,

much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”[Haggai 2:6] Hebrews 12:25,26

The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain."

2 Distinct Advents to this World

"The death, resurrection, and the ascension, of the Son of God were events of great importance in the plan of human redemption; but with no one of these is the plan finished. 

The Redeemer was to make two distinct advents to this world. 

At the first, He lived our example, preached His own gospel,

wrought miracles to confirm His divine mission, died our sacrifice, rose from the dead for our justification, and ascended to the Father’s right hand to plead the cause of the repenting sinner. 

But He will appear in this world the second time to execute other parts of the grand scheme. The plan of redemption in its second stage provides for the resurrection of the just from the dominion of death and the grave to life immortal and eternal. 

*The moral fitness for the next life must be obtained in this. 

*The change to immortality is not a moral change. It is simply an 

exchange of the corruptible body for one that will be incorruptible. 

This second stage in the stupendous work of man’s redemption is expressed by the apostle thus: Philippians 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body. 

And the Redeemer will not complete His work of redemption in a manner to leave man invisible and immaterial. When redeemed, the just will stand in all the tangible perfection of Adam’s unfallen manhood, with the exceeding glory of bodies fashioned like unto Christ’s glorious resurrected body."

On the Streets of Babylon: Sermons about Toilet Floaters on the Streets

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,..
Come out of her, My people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4

There seems to be "Sermons on Floaters in the Toilet" on the Streets of Babylon....

"Micah Turnbo is the Pastor of Prophetic Ministry at Vineyard Church Northwest in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the founder of Behold Wonder.
Some of his more audacious claims include:

"I’m using the bathroom. You know, it’s taking me a minute. An angel walks into the bathroom, you know, and he started to say, okay, he started to say to me, he said, “wow.” He said, “you’ve got some floaters. You’ve got some floaters.”
And I said, “uh, yes”.
And he said “Sometimes…repentance means you need to keep flushing.” It was a lesson…and we’re talking about turds. And I said, “Ok Lord.”

Creation Moment 8/1/2025 - Why does science work at all?

Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together. Isaiah 48:13

"Why does science work at all? 

This fundamental question reveals something profound about reality itself. Modern science didn’t emerge by accident, it flourished uniquely under a Christian worldview while remaining stillborn in other cultures throughout history.

The very foundations that make scientific investigation possible—objective truth, 

an orderly universe, 

rational thought, 

and honest reporting

—find their roots in Biblical principles. 

Without these presuppositions, there would be no basis for expecting consistent natural laws or trusting human reason to understand them."
