Blessed are they that hungry and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. “23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: 24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he...

I think the following is totally pertinent I'm today's world... There is another and more important question that should engage the attention of the churches of today. The apostle Paul declares that "all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." 2 Timothy 3:12. Why is it...

Or in the unsaved, so yes, agreed, which is why I wonder why ask this... Strangers, backslidden friends, even talking donkeys can say things that convict us of our need of Jesus. But they aren't saving us.

I never realised how confused and misleading your beliefs are. I know you are well meaning and you are a good person. But your beliefs are all over the place, and I don't know where to begin in order to unravel the confusion.

Wasn't me who set the rules and the system. Yes, the faith of a little child is essential, but faith in what? Seems many have faith in all manner of different things, all of which are wrong and misunderstood. Hence these forums. The little child can have faith, sure, but it must be in reality...

There's fa bigger picture. See above.

Further to this, there was no possible remedy to the sin problem for Israel under the old covenant without the sanctuary. The vast majority of Christianity have little appreciation or understanding, and neither do they care, that there is no possible remedy to the sin problem under the new...

I certainly agree with this. We cannot earn our salvation by works, whether works of obedience to the law or works of kindness to others. No argument. However... Here you are suggesting that contrary to everything the Bible says about sin and it's negative effect on our relationship with God...

In other words, the sin problem wasn't finished at the cross. You live in Israel. I am sure you must be familiar with the OT services of the sanctuary and the associated rituals, sacrifices, feasts etc right? If all that yearly program was a precursor or type of the gospel for Israel, pointing...

And for @Behold , a question. If the sin problem in your life, that is your forgiveness, reconciliation, atonement etc etc was all finished on the cross, then explain what Paul was meaning when he told the Corinthians that without the resurrection, they would still be in their sins. 1 Cor...

The OT sanctuary services were the blueprint for the NT gospel. Every component of the OT sanctuary had its parallel/fulfilment/antitype in the new. The religious year for Israel was the type for the gospel running through the entire gospel dispensation. There was an order in the services and...

The Mrs. ain't so sure it seems.

If that were the case, then why the need of a High Priest?

What was finished on the cross. Something, sure, because Jesus said, it is finished. But He never explained what it was that was finished. So....from the whole of scripture, what was it that was finished, because the way I read scripture, there were certain things specifically connected to our...

“1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; 2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. 3 For every high priest is ordained to...

And there's the rub. We all know what Jesus said about traditions that contradict God's commandments.

The law of God in the sanctuary in heaven (Revelation 11:19) is the great original, of which the precepts inscribed upon the tables of stone and recorded by Moses in the Pentateuch were an unerring transcript. Those who arrive at an understanding of this important point are thus led to see the...

You forget that women weren't recognised as equals in those days so I reject your politically correct notions. It was men, as in humen.

I'm not intelligent or educated enough to work out why it's wrong, but God requiring us to experience evil for us to recognise good seems to me to be saying it's necessary to experience darkness before we recognise light. There is no such thing as evil in a materialistic sense, only the absence...

The one and only time I stopped going to church altogether 30 years ago, for several valid reasons but refusing to search for better, resulted in my falling away altogether, doing exactly the same things the Lord delivered me from 10 years previous. Fellowship with less than perfect Christians...
