Just being honest! It's not all cake and ice cream.

What would you call that when the Pharisees accused Jesus of miracles by the power of Satan? Was the Holy Spirit grieved or insulted?

I do not know anything about the situation you described. I know nothing of the self exaltation that could be misconstrued. I wasn't there! But I do know that Paul called the Galatians fools, implied they were ignorant, and had fallen from grace. I know that Peter told Simon he had no part in...

Paul and Peter would be banned form this forum for life in just a few hours. When they read what is being said here all hell would break loose. They would make Jesus with His whip in the temple a small thing! When the Holy Spirit that dwells in man is insulted, the believer is also insulted...

Your completion to the finish line is guaranteed by faith in the finished work of Christ. The Blood Atonement was decided before the foundation of the world. There was no doubt a Godhead consultation that man would be created, he would fall, and he would be redeemed by faith in what the Christ...

Correct! The first could not give righteousness because man could not keep that covenant. The righteousness was there in the Law, but fallen man could not keep it. It was to point the Sacrificial System of the Law, where Christ was found as the Sacrifice. Christ took that barrier away, (the...

We disagree! The first covenant was with man, it depended on what man did as to whether that covenant stood. The NC is not with fallen man, it is with the Man, Jesus Christ, the Covenant stands by Him, what He did, not what man can do. Man has nothing to do with this contract between God the...

He is the Mediator that you must go through to enter the Covenant! In the first covenant it was Moses considered to be the mediator, and mere man. It was possible for that covenant to be broken and was. But this New Covenant is based on the work of the Man, Jesus Christ, He is that Covenant...

If the NC was with God and man there is no way it can be everlasting. That's why it is with God and a man, yes, but the Man, Jesus Christ. We come into that Covenant through the Cross of Christ. The actual legal contract of the NC is with the Representative Man for us! In other words, Jesus...

I see what you are saying, but the New Covenant is between God and the Man Jesus Christ. By way of the Cross I agree. The first covenant was between God and man, and was broken instantly by man, but the New Covenant is an Everlasting Covenant that can't be broken. It can't be broken because...

When we are baptized into the death of Christ, we are baptized into the shedding of His blood at His death. Your sins are washed away by the Blood of Christ! That all takes place in the baptism into Christ, and it's a spiritual baptism. When Ananias told Paul to go and be water baptized...

There are Protestant churches that baptize babies, but it is a dedication by the parents to raise the child in the Lord. It is not a cleansing process as the Catholics believe. That tradition comes from believing sins are actually washed away in water baptism, that is heresy, I'm sorry!

We agree! Some translations don't acknowledge that. They change "of" to "in Christ." I believe that Christ is our example from A-Z, even His faith in the Father was our example. Of course there is a huge debate over that, and going to the Greek doesn't settle anything.

I didn't want to start a new thread. What do you consider the gift in these verses? Eph. 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Is it the gift of faith or is it the gift of salvation?

Do you remember when we talking about the humanity of Christ, the Man Christ Jesus? Well, this subject takes us deeper into the Man.

Gal. 2:16 'Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified." It's our...

Robert, it's not the responsibility of the pastor to uproot the tares! If you notice, Christ said to let the tares grow until the harvest, in other words, the resurrection, the tares will be uprooted. It is Christ that uproots the tares! The pastor has no authority to cast anyone into hell...

All three of those baptisms apply to the believer! But only One applies to our actual salvation. That is the One Baptism of Eph. 4 that Paul is speaking of. It is the circumcision of the heart that Jeremiah spoke of, the baptism into Christ that Paul reveals in more detail. It is the spiritual...

That water baptism was in Israel where they knew who God was through the Law of Moses. When Jesus told them to take the Gospel to the nations of the world, who didn't know who the true God was, He said, baptism them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

They're going to lie! The masses will believe them when they say that Trump is the reason for all of this coming on us. That they are going to solve the problem with clean energy. But in reality they don't care that you are suffering, they prove that by cutting off our self dependency of energy...
