Revelation 19:10d---->"For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus." I would agree that the role of prophet in OT times was different from the role in the NT churches.

A beautiful area! But there are lots of Christians here too. ;)

Yeah--the guy who wrote the OP at CF was kind of clueless.

Where in Canada are you B.G.? It was REALLY hot here in central Ontario lake-cottage country, last week unless you were in or on the water. But it has been quite pleasant since Sunday. Sunny, warm with very low humidity during the day (we could actually use a bit of rain) and cool and dry at...

The New Testament is all about grace--we are wholly unable to save ourselves--which means we are wholly unable to be righteous without grace, going forward in our life. Grace does not stop at the new birth. Faith is a work of grace and it is through grace that our faith is increased. Grace...

Actually, Jesus was/is the Son of Man (for that is what He called Himself on many occasions, in the gospels). But He is also the Son of God. He has two natures--human and divine. He is wholly God and wholly man in one Person. The union between these two natures is called the "hypostatic...

I think that God will sometimes consecrate a natural gift in us, for His use, but, in Scripture, more often than not, He had them doing things for which they had no natural gifts. The Apostle Paul was not a natural orator, neither was Peter--but they both addressed crowds of people in their...

One of the problems is that they have been misled by their rabbis. According to at least one of the ancient targums (translations of Torah from Hebrew to Aramaic and commentary on it), there would be TWO Messiahs, (Messiah Ben Joseph--the suffering servant/lamb of God and Messiah Ben David--the...

Yes. Jesus said, "Apart from Me, you can DO nothing [good]." So, we get zapped out of eternal life (and lose the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit) if we have a momentary lapse from abiding?? No.

If you read the entire letter, it is clear that Peter is writing to Messianic Jews who are scattered abroad (look at the salutation). The Apostle Paul tells us in Galatians 2:8 that Peter was the Apostle to the Jews while he (Paul) was the Apostle to the Gentiles. Israel was warned repeatedly...

Gee, I wonder what JBF's hat size is? :rolleyes:

Maybe, instead of slandering a child of God, you should examine yourself.

Evangelist, Rebecca Manley Pippert told this story in one of her videos (which are often quite moving, by the way). It seems that she was giving a talk to Christian students at a university (I forget which one now). Her talk concerned God's plan for sexual intimacy--one man, one woman, in...

The proper Scripture quote from Isaiah is 65:20 not 66:20. Sorry. :oops:

No problem. ;)

Yes--special knowledge that only comes from reading the KJV and only being someone who is privileged enough to have the Holy Spirit in his/her back pocket. In contrast, the Bible says, "And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:13)

That is what He said to the "Woman Caught in Adultery" (not the "Samaritan Woman at the Well"). What is interesting about that incident is that, under the Law of Moses, BOTH the man and the women were to be stoned. If only the woman had been stoned, it would not have been a legal execution...

Yes, the Old Testament prophets spoke of a coming PHYSICAL reign of God on the earth, when long life will return and the Lord will rule, from Jerusalem, with "a rod of iron" (absolute rule of law). The Book of Isaiah and the Book of Ezekiel are very rich in information about the Millennial...

LOLOLOLOL It is quite a good thing that you have no ability to condemn anyone--least of all those, like me, who are in the Body of Christ. As seems usual for you, you have quite misapplied Scripture to suit your agenda.

Didn't see evidence of "the foolishness of the gospel" in your post--just the general nonsense of you arguing that we should accept your odd meanings for words; 2 Timothy 2:14--->"Remind them of these things, and solemnly charge them in the presence of God not to wrangle about words, which is...
