No. You are assuming that everyone who attends a local church adheres to the local church doctrine. Many churches have "rebels" who place the Bible first, like the Bereans of old. Perhaps you can list a few denominations who do not claim to have superior doctrine. Rev

The scripture seems to contradict you: "Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your...

Grace, you must be referring to me, since that is my "default" position. I find it odd that anyone would think they know the Holy Spirit and not be able to back up what they say with scripture, since the scripture is Holy Spirit given to us by those entrusted with the oracles of God. Paul...

I am not sure what your point is, Scott. Paul and Peter were explaining to the children of Israel that, thanks to Christ, Israel was no longer under the law. In fact, that was virtually the exclusive theme of their epistles. First Peter was addressed exclusively to the scattered tribes in...

Those are your words, not mine. I suppose that would be okay, if you can figure out a way to kill someone while loving them. I won't hold my breath. They should have stuck with following Matthew 7:12, rather than the doctrines of mere men. You have not been paying attention. This is God's...

Grace, since you mentioned it, one of Israel's sins was not serving the Lord with joy and gladness: "Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his...

I forgot to mention that there is also "order" found in one of the prophecies of Isaiah. The Septuagint version provides better detail: "And he said to me, It is a great thing for thee to be called my servant, to establish the tribes of Jacob, and to recover the dispersion of Israel: behold, I...

Israel was/is the children of the covenant, and Christ promised to confirm the covenant with them for "one week" (seven years): "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the...

I replied. You are only upset because I will not play your silly teacher/student game. I deny your interpretation was/is the intention of Christ and his New Covenant with the houses of Israel and Judah. You forgot this part: "Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that...

"Died to self?" I don't know since you provided no reference nor recognizable phrase. Will you please rephrase? Supporting scripture would be a big help. I am familiar with the scripture, and Church History, Scott; but you are making general statements. Please be more specific, such as...

I believe there is also a warning or two against self-righteousness, Scott. What do you mean by the "church chose death", Scott? Please provide historical references. Rev

I have known Christ and the Holy Spirit for over 50 years, and I am pretty sure you do not. The Word of God wasn't changed, Scott. It was men adding their "spin" to the Word that corrupted the Roman church, much like men do now. But that was not the case early-on. Who was the first "church...

The words "All Flesh" did not mean everyone who is saved for all time would receive those initial and awesome powers of the holy spirit, Scott, any more than "all men would believe Christ" if the Jews let him alone (John 11:48); or any more than the words "every nation under heaven" (Acts 2:5)...

Obviously, the part that you do not. Who was the audience, Scott? What are the contexts? Where does it say you would be given power to speak words of God that cannot be found anywhere in the holy scripture? I am pretty sure that God never intended for you, or anyone else, to add words...

That is a strange question, Scott? You seem to be implying your words are spirit? Only a handful of the children of Israel received the Oracles of God, Scott: "What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were...

Scott, are you implying your words are spirit? If you believe that, then our discussion is most certainly pointless. Rev

Sometimes it is difficult to be kind. What exactly did the spirit say to those who have ears? The adoption is mentioned exactly 5 times in the New Testament (and not at all in the LXX): Rom 8:15, 8:23, 9:4; Gal 4:5; Eph 1:5. Will you please point to the verse that supports your claim...

First I have to accept your premise that the two great commandments are the two royal laws. The second is the only "royal law" mentioned; but for now I will accept your premise. Christ is saying that if a man looks upon a woman with lust, he has already committed adultery in his heart. Now...

If you were speaking plainly, I would not have asked. I think I understand. Let me rephrase my question. My studies have led me to believe that only the elect, the remnant of Israel, were predestinated and therefore chosen before the foundation of the world. I will explain. First some...

If you truly desire a serious discussion, perhaps you might refrain from posting pictures of creepy looking women posed as if they lost their beloved I-Phone. Regarding the demise of the old, Sinai covenant, the Lord foretold it in Zechariah: "And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it...
