Is it merely about our believing in Christ's resurrection, or is there something intrinsically vital to our salvation that wasn't finished at the cross, but necessitated the resurrection and what followed, in order to complete the atonement?

Even though i have his book stored on my tech somewhere, I haven't read it through, as I got bored with, as you said, all the minutiae. However, there are certain truths in the historical connections linking Babylon, pagan Rome, and papal Rome that magnify the minutiae into credible evidence...

I believe we all receive the holy Spirit when we are born again. The baptism of the holy Spirit comes when we are completely surrendered to His working in our lives. The sealing however, that's a different kettle of fish altogether. I believe the sealing comes as a condition before the...

...that "something" was finished at the cross. However, Paul, inspired by the holy Spirit, said, “And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. ” 1 Corinthians 15:17 KJV Unfeigned Bible Many take Christ's declaration at the cross , "it is finished", as their...

You have all correctly recognized that forsaking sin and iniquity in this life is essential for salvation, and as @quietthinker noted, we shall be judged by our works, whether they be good or bad. Interesting dichotomy isn't it, which many don't quite get their minds around. We are not saved...

The firstbegotten and firstfruits in particular, are a direct reference and antitype to the feast of firstfruits from the OT, and is in context connected to the resurrection. Not His beginnings. “20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For...

Which denies the entire concept of Father and Son, makes it a metaphorical idea and loses the meaning of the word begotten , used exclusively in the sense of generating.

I think about that also. I do believe that at some stage in eternity, (surely there are points of time in eternity where part and future are differentiated?) the Son was begotten. I liken it to Daniel 2:45 where the rock, (which is Christ at the second coming) is "cut out of the mountain...

Personally I believe there may be genuine born again Christians in every denomination, house church, institution. But not every denomination has the full approval of God. Some, despite having Christians as members, are actually working at cross purposes in some ways with regard God's plans...

The Son of God is the seed. “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. ” Genesis 3:15 KJV Unfeigned Bible That seed grew into a vine, and we are the branches. As you quoted... “Now to Abraham...

You don't think the Lord has an institutional church, however faulty it may be, that He had raised up for His own purpose?

What particular institutional church?

Several times the scripture says God sent His Son... several times Jesus said, He came out from God... why do people insist that Jesus wasn't a Son until Bethlehem? I don't know what you mean by spiritual. Spirits aren't some formless floating clouds, they have a form...a shape. They are...

I'm not posting in support of the trinity. I thought you'd read enough of my posts by now to understand that. My concern is that people accept the literal Father/ Son relationship between JHWH and Jesus.

Wasn't it God Himself Who designed the entire paradigm after His own likeness? Begetting your own kind? If God begets a child, what kind of species/ type/ form do you expect? Either Jesus is God's only begotten Son or He isn't. Jane denies that outright, trying to claim begetting can mean...

In His gospel, John did establish the deity of Christ but it was also to show that a divine person had truly become flesh (truly human) – also that this personage was none other than the divine Son of God (see John 20:30-31). This was in opposition to many (like the Docetae) who at the time of...

He is if He's the Son of God. Are you human like your father? Do you outrank him? Does your lesser rank mean you cease to be human? Why should the Son of God's lesser rank mean He ceases to be God? As for Mediator. He needs to be both human and divine. Like the ladder Jacob saw. Reaches...

The little horn's activities though did not only take place at the time of the end. They began when he arose out of the Pagan Roman beast in 538AD, immediately after the demise, the uprooting, or the fall of the 3rd nation, the Ostrogoths. He continued to be active throughout history until...

Yep. In the Christian Era.

I agree with CTK. Your charts and the one here is a fine example, are imaginary and having no biblical foundation. You take one scripture or of context and place it wherever you like. That is not how understanding prophecy works. “Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass...
