The question remains? What are they for.

7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. - 1 John 4:7-8. God has always just wanted for someone to love him, reciprocating love it is called. God is love and his love...

We need father's of the faith more today than we have ever needed them. There seems to be a lack of those (father's) that have a sound understanding.

I say if a believer feels they have been adopted no problem. So your father is an adopted parent, I do not see that in view of "you must be born again" thanks for the conversation though I would never want anyone to have a change of mind that does not fit them.

To have a birth (born again) there has to be a birthing. Adoption is refered to in different ways, but for the born again they need to learn their new family spirit, that is the spirit of adoption. We are not adopted into the family we are birthed into the family of God

I can remember like it was yesterday when I first began to get a glimpse if you will of the two being completely different from each other. It was mind blowing to suddenly see that had absultely nothing to do with each other.

There has never been written a more clear message of how we are to live now, and how the father speaks to the beloved he has birthed.

Absultely dear friend! proper division of scripture and of soul and spirit, is a must. Believers cannot see what their father is doing or has done without rightly dividing.

Very good sound word, thank you for that. Timothy was like a son to Paul, he considered Timothy his son because of the gospel he preached to him. Romans 16:25 will always be the anthem to the born again as far as receiving the message of God which had been hid in him. I see that as the Lord...

The priesthood, are you referring to the Kingdom message? If possible you will need to look at it closer and determine if the born again fits that or not. My understanding is; that was for Israel! the born again and Israel are two separate entities. Never a people like the birthed of God before...

A friend of mine that I studied with from time to time taught me dividing the word of truth. It really opens up a new understanding for believers.

Thank you Chris, I have looked at exactly what you are saying for some time now. What a truth!

You always bring out the finer points. The types and shadows have a pull to them when studied. What I have learned when you experience the real you start to care less and less about a shadow they don't mean anything as far as spiritual life. A fun study though.

Yes it does but you know most of the promises are to Israel. The one thing you don't see prophesied is God going to birth his own children. It was not known until Paul, even Jesus didn't say anything about it other than you must be born again. That is the mystery of Christ in you the hope of...

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. - John 8:32. What do you think would happen if the world drew up it's own rules for living like they did under the dispensation of human government. God required them to figure up how to live and draw rules up and live by those...

It does not matter because we live in the now and need the understanding of how to live by another in us now. So the past is exactly like that the past

Yes but you have to factor in the cross. There was nothing provided like the cross in OT, no born again. That alone has to cause a believer to dig in and see what is happening after the cross.

4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: - Ephesians 1:4. When you have a dispensation you have a message from God. Each dispensation has It's own gospel, a gospel is the message for that time. A...

Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it. - Acts 28:28. What is it about man that miserably failed God. People do not like to hear the words "people cannot please God within themselves." Christians can particularly take it...

I do understand why it is so hard to see the difference! Doesn't mean God is not going to bring an end one day, but the way he handled people in the Old Testament compared to what we read and know in the New Testament is completely estranged.
