    When did Old Testament saints receive the Holy Spirit?

    Everything in my research shows differently. There is nothing I can find in the OT (which includes the gospels) that indicates anyone was being born again prior to Pentecost. OT believers had the spirit upon them or in them…. but it was conditional depending on the faithfulness of their walk…...

    Tips On Bible Study

    Every time I look at the Companion Bible, I am in awe of the work that Bullinger did. No sticky notes, no word processer, and for most of his research no typewriter. He must have had an awesome incredible mind. His “Figures of Speech” book is also an invaluable resource that is second to none...

    Modern Scholars Spreading Doubts About the Bible's Reliability: Moses and the Pentateuch

    Thank you I am going to copy it.... I heard it many years ago but couldn't remember it word for word so I did my best with a little embellishment.

    Can Satan Inject Thoughts Into Your Mind?

    Tony is correct ….the only way Satan can interject thoughts is through possession … Devil spirits can trigger things around you manipulate situations and circumstances …but your thought (although they may be triggered from something going on around you) …. are your thoughts.

    Works for Salvation: Forgiveness of Others

    Of course they do ….The words in Ephesians and Colossians come from Jesus Christ… who gave Paul the words to write by revelation…. as mentioned in Galatians and a couple other places. God gave Jesus head over all the church, which means everything written from 30 AD or more like 43 AD...

    Works for Salvation: Forgiveness of Others

    The words Jesus spoke were to Israel…. But our calling in this age of grace is a greater one. We have been forgiven of all our sins and were made righteous …. not because we forgave others…. but because of what Christ accomplished, and God having accepted that on our behalf. Forgiveness is not...

    TODAY you will be with me in paradise

    No problem ...If everybody agreed with me ....there wouldn't be a need for me.

    TODAY you will be with me in paradise

    I actually agree ….I may refer to it with the biblical metaphor sleep (not soul sleep). Any of the just (prior to the administration/dispensation of grace) who are dead will be resurrected in paradise. Just as when we physically sleep, …when we awake, if it’s a good night sleep, it’s like the...

    Did Judas repent?

    What is the covenant of salt? The salt covenant is an oriental custom still in practice today. It means that when you partook in the covenant, be it from salted food, drink, or exchanged a pinch of salt at the marriage ceremony, your words were your bond, you would never …..even at the cost of...

    Did Judas repent?

    But if Judas is alive after the resurrection ………..when and how did he die? We have already seen in the aforementioned verses (1Co 15:5-7) ..... (Luk 24:33-36/Jhn 20:20-24)… that Judas was still alive after the resurrection…..By following the pronouns from in Acts verse 3 through 10 gives us an...

    Did Judas repent?

    Here is what I was talking about (Tony should remember this) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Judas death…. We have one scripture in Matthew that has thrown us off regarding Judas death and we have concluded he took his life prior to the...

    Did Judas repent?

    Many fake Christians

    Jesus never said that .... There were no Christians when Jesus was on earth.

    What will happen soon!

    I will make sure to let Jesus know He is making a mistake…. on my way up @ the “gathering together unto Him”

    The Father forgives you iff you forgive others

    Tony …. Keep your day job. You will never be a good Psychic trying to guess what people think. Instead of trying to force an answer in a.. gotcha … read what I stated.

    The Father forgives you iff you forgive others

    That is your choice …. It doesn’t really hurt the person you don’t forgive …but it → resentment and contentious anger ….will eat away at you if you harbor those things.

    The Father forgives you iff you forgive others

    Higher calling are my words.. Our trespasses are forgiven... We forgive even as God for Christ sake has forgiven us ... hence, the higher calling. Our contingent for the Father forgiving us is not by forgiving others.... our forgiveness was made unto us through Christ's accomplishments.

    The Father forgives you iff you forgive others

    Jesus as addressing Israel … We are not Israel …our forgiveness is not dependent on forgiving other …we should …. but it’s a higher calling. What is addressed to the church of God. Col 3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as...

    Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?

    But did he have a nipple ring
