No, and you are obviously not listening, for I explained the difference between sinning and Him only bearing the sins of the world. And in the same post you falsely accuse me.

PS, On second thought...this is not good that we should be at each other over what are perhaps semantic differences. In explanation, whether for you or anyone reading on, let me say-- You are not wrong. But in order to fully explain, one must understand that we have both been speaking the truth from different sides of what should rightly be called a parable. That is, you have been speaking from the side of the object of the parable, speaking what is indeed true in that limited context, while I have been speaking from the side and context of the subject of the parable. Indeed, it is not good that I should correct or offend you regarding what the world has yet to see of the truth, and yet this very thing has been foretold to come, and has come--that we should be lead unto all truth before the sounding of the seventh angel. This is that time, and while I do speak the truth, I do not wish to further seemingly consider you wrong regarding what has been considered correct now for so long. I trust the Spirit will do His part in due time.
One word for you = REPENT

Jesus will be King over all the kings of the earth. David will be king over Israel, as the other nations will have their kings. And under David, the Apostles will each judge one of the 12 tribes of Israel.
I was reminded of the following verses - Luke 1:32-33 (WEB):

(32) He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father, David,​
(33) and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom.”​

Israel hasn't had a king for thousands of years, and it seem unlikely that they will have one before Jesus becomes their king. They've not had a king since Jesus came to them.

Gen 49:10 (KJV):
(10) The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.​
(YLT):
(10) The sceptre turneth not aside from Judah, And a lawgiver from between his feet, Till his Seed come; And his is the obedience of peoples.​
(WEB):
(10) The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs. To him will the obedience of the peoples be.​

What I did was RELENT with kind concession (more than was done for the Priests and the Pharisees). But you have rejected it.
i always reject the words of men who twist scripture and say 'Jesus was born-again'.

Let it be known to all who seek the Truth = the LORD never was born-again because HE never committed sin.

It is written: 1 Peter 2:21-25

For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:

“Who committed no sin,
Nor was deceit found in His mouth”
;

who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree,
that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.
For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Written for Children from Heavenly Jerusalem
let us rearrange this and perhaps add in a few words .
OH ITS WRITTEN FOR ALL , BUT ITS BELIEVED BY CHILDREN FROM HEAVENLY JERSUALEM .
OThers will reject it . IT was written for all , ONLY ALL BEIEVE NOT . LAMBS DO . LAMBS DO BELIEVE .
See lambs are as abraham was . IF GOD SAID , THEY SIMPLY BELIEVE .
But wambs , which is a hyrbrid , its one who thinketh it is a lamb but sitteth under a wolf
THEY will not BELIEVE , they will , however believe as their wolf does twist it unto them .
BUT a lamb , IT JUST BELIEVES WHAT IS WRITTEN .

Lets say something even simplier . You wrote the LORD was never born again because he never commited sin .
But bask in the beauty of this . ONLY THOSE WHO ARE DEAD MUST BE BORN AGAIN .
JESUS IS LIFE . life has no need to have been born again , CAUSE IT WAS NEVER DEAD TO BEGIN WITH .
Yeah , bask in the beauty of that .

JESUS , aka the WORD OF GOD and GOD IS HIS WORD
simply was born in the flesh . Jesus was never dead as were we .
Adam and eve tasted death the moment they ate from the tree .
DID GOD SUDDENLY DIE WITH THEM .
NOPE .
MANKIND was under death ever since , and all have sinned and thus death has come upon all .
But its not like JESUS was dead , then had to be born again , THEN had to overcome the world .
NO . ITS IN HE ALONE THAT WE ARE BORN again .

If HE committed just one sin, HE could not be "the spotless Lamb that takes away the sins of the world"

Acts ch2
“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know— Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you [have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; whom God raised up,
having loosed the pains of death,
because it was not possible that He should be held by it(Death).

Why was it not possible for Death to keep JESUS in the grave???

Because HE committed "no sin" therfore death could not hold/keep/posses Him.

No one is born-again apart from JESUS and no one Rises from the Grave apart from JESUS.

The WORD is the Alpha and the Omega = ALL things exists because of the WORD who is God

YEP . YES INDEED .
now i have a question for us all . CAN GOD SIN . THEN what on earth makes us think HIS WORD CAN .
JESUS was not sent to prove GOD CAN OVERCOME SIN .
JESUS was sent FOR US ALL WHO COULD NOT OVERCOME SIN .
HE had to become FLESH . because we are IN FLESH . HE HAD TO OVERCOME for OUR SAKES .
IF any man or any woman ever says JESUS sinned , REBUKE THEM SHARPLY BEFORE ALL
and remind them . GOD CANNOT SIN , HIS WORD CANNOT SIN . AND GOD IS HIS WORD .
And if that man or woman hears you not , CAST THEM OUT OF THE CHURCH till they DO HEAR .
GOD , repeat , ITS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO SIN . JESUS , WHO IS THE WORD OF GOD
and GOD WHO IS HIS WORD , CANNOT SIN and DID NOT SIN .
NOW the flesh he was in , was like ours . BUT HE , BEING PEREFECT . HE BEING BEFORE ANYTHING THAT WAS , even was
NEVER FAILED ONCE . IF any man or any woman tries to say otherwise , REBUKE THEM SHARPLY .
THIS GOES also with any who tries to bring another all inclusive we are one social gospel lie . REBUKE , REBUKE sharply
and if they heed not , CAST them OUTTA of the church .

This is so TRUE! Only the human body of Christ ceased to have life, but the spirit (breath of life) that all humans have ascended to the Father in heaven. Then three days later Christ's spirit returned to His body of flesh and His body was then raised immortal. This is important to understand because whosoever is in Christ, when they physically die, like Christ, they are still ALIVE through the Spirit of Christ in them.

Luke 23:46 (KJV) And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

and paul knew something . So then she who liveth in pleasure is DEAD WHILE SHE LIVETH .
Who we serve is whose we are . whether of sin unto death or of obediance unto rigtheousness .
Ever wonder why they corrected sin and error so quickly in the churches . Ever wonder why MANY NO LONGER DO .
Well how about this remidner from paul .
IF any man has NOT the SPIRIT of CHRIST he is NONE OF HIS
and if we have the SPIRIT , then the BODY IS DEAD because of sin . I just wonder what on earth has happend within christendom today .
BUT then i dont have to wonder or marvel . WHEN MEN twist scrips , prepare to fall away .

Postulation = to give a hypothesis, to make an assumption
We got many who do such a thing . But if we examine closley , we will see their assumptions
are and have created PRETZEL DOCTRINE .
Pretzel doctrine . Doctine that has been twisted and twisted so much it resembles a pretzel .
It is done in order for men to fall for ruse , for a doctrine , a precept and a teaching of men GONE WRONG .
CAUSE I SURE AS HECK DONT SEE NO SUCH THING about a pre trib explanation IN THAT THERE VERSE in peter .
Rather its pretzled swiss cheese doctrine .
Now that is a combo . Swiss cheese doctrine . DOCTRINE that has so man holes in it , it makes swiss cheese envious .
I gots me own language my friend . And i do use it often .
