    Smoke Screens?

    John 3:16 is to the Jews who must believe that Jesus was their promised Messiah and King. It was limited to the Jews who must believe Jesus as their Messiah and King. Today we are to believe in the work of Jesus on the cross where He paid for all the sins of the world. Is there a difference...

    Smoke Screens?

    In my opinion, God wants us to trust in what His Son did on the cross. That is the message Jesus gave to Paul.

    Smoke Screens?

    If the reason you think you will go to Heaven is because you try to do good then you have placed your faith in what you do and not in the work of God (Jesus) on the cross. See Galatians.

    The Mysteries: (Plural)

    Sound exactly like Jobs 3 religious friends. If you have the power to throw me off the forum then go to it.

    The Mysteries that Paul taught:

    So in your opinion our flesh can be made sinless. I don't believe that.

    Smoke Screens?

    Have Christians, and our Christian churches, taught about a personal relationship with Jesus for salvation or have they put up smoke screens that keeps people from developing a personal relationship with Jesus in their hearts? When you ask most Christians why they think they are Christians and...

    The Mysteries: (Plural)

    I am having to list the mysteries for those that think they are a waste of time. I certainly think they are most important for us today. Rom 11:25 = a mystery, blindness in part has happened to Israel. Rom 16:25 = God kept secret Paul’s gospel, until, it was revealed to Paul 1 Cor 2:7-8 =...

    The Mysteries: (Plural)

    They are there to teach the mysteries of God. If you are not interested then forget it.

    The Mysteries that Paul taught:

    I have read your belief that the flesh can become sinless and I do not believe it. Jesus did not come to make some people better than others. No man alive is without sin in their life and that includes you. Your message is that you can become like God by the way you live is what Satan told Eve.

    The Mysteries that Paul taught:

    You have worked hard to put up a smoke screen to say what? This thread is about the """MYSTERIES"" taught by Paul. It seems to me that you wish to ignore them.

    The Mysteries that Paul taught:

    Sure it does. But no man can become perfect in sinful flesh. To live after the flesh is the flesh trying to save it's self by pandering to the works of the flesh as a means of salvation. You should have used Romans 8:1 where there is NOW no condemnation for those in Christ. I do not believe...

    The Mysteries that Paul taught:

    Deut 29:29 NKJV 29 "The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. Question: In verse 29 above does God keep things to Himself and reveal them to us when He wants to? Mark...

    The Mysteries: (Plural)

    Rom 11:25 25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. NKJV Rom 16:25 25 Now to Him who is able to establish you according...

    John 3:16 in relation to the grace gospel

    NO !!!, under grace Jesus (God) paid for all the sins of mankind. this was not true until Jesus shed His blood on the cross. Some people just want to blend God's mercy in the past to be the same as grace.

    John 3:16 in relation to the grace gospel

    There are plenty of web sites that tell about studying the scriptures and understanding that God has dealt with mankind in different ways through the ages. ("DISPENSATIONS" = AGES) Those that oppose it are those that want to blend how God dealt with the Jews under the law into how God is...

    John 3:16 in relation to the grace gospel

    The ritual of ""REPENTANCE"" is not required under grace. If a person reaches out to the work of Jesus on the cross they are acknowledging their sins of the flesh and it is a continuous attitude of the heart. An act of repentance is just a ritual and does not show that a person acknowledges...

    John 3:16 in relation to the grace gospel

    Amazing !!!!! What rules and regulations have I said we are under. I have only taught that Jesus paid for our sins on the cross and if people do not believe He did then they are not saved. The only thing that saves a person is their faith, belief, trust and confidence in what Jesus did for...

    John 3:16 in relation to the grace gospel

    I will answer this one but not the others because all they wish to talk about is me. The whole Bible is for our study and understanding. But not all of it is about the gospel given to Paul. Since Jesus, Himself, sent Paul to the Gentiles with a HIDDEN, HIDDEN, HIDDEN, HIDDEN, gospel of God's...

    John 3:16 in relation to the grace gospel

    Why do we have to believe Jesus is our Messiah and King. He was/will be the king of the Jews in Israel. I think people can not see that those saved under grace are made children of God. They are not subjects, nor will they ever be subjects of a king. Rom 4:14 14 For if those who are of the...
