You just hit on one of the two reasons I'm on these boards. It helps my now lazy self to keep learning the Word. The other is to help those who need help in the knowledge of the salvation of our Lord. Love Mr. Wuest, read all his work that I can get my hands on. A Greek scholar who had much...

True that God has no beginning! Psalm 90:2 "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God." "The beginning" written in Scripture is referring to the beginning of creation. If you believe that the...

Most of the questions you present here cannot be answered. The Scripture takes no effort to explain it, which means it's not meant for us to understand, or we in this mortal body are not capable of understanding. There is some indication that all these things will be answered at the point of...

The question that theologians cannot answer is the existence of the Trinity as we have the ability to understand as humans. How can three distinct persons be ONE God? It has already been determined that the unity/essence of the One God is not all that's revealed in Scripture. It cannot be...

No, Christ was not created. He was in the beginning with God the Father and was God Himself. Gen. 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth...

Paul said that his Gospel was Christ crucified, buried, and resurrected from the dead. That is the story of the Bible from Gen. 3 and onward. He told the Corinthians that he wanted to know nothing of them but Christ crucified. He said we preach Christ crucified. That message is the message that...

Many years ago I heard an evangelist who presented the Trinity in construction terms. He said the Father is the owner of all things, the Son is the architect/creator of all things, and the Holy Spirit is the contractor that actually made all things from these plans. Together they are One...

He is the Eternal Logos, God Himself who loved us and gave Himself for us by lowering Himself a little lower that the angels in the form of man to redeem us from our sin. He was with the Father in all His Glory before the foundation of the world. Peter, James and John witnessed a glimpse of...

Yes, directly or indirectly Christ is involved in all of Scripture. When He said, "I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life, no man comes to the Father but by me" He is saying "I am the Truth of the Scripture, the only way."

John could have said the three that bear record in Heaven are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He could have said Jesus, but he wished to convey a deeper identity to Christ. He as much as told us it was Christ when he said the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. But why did John...

Christ was not born of procreation as all other men. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit. So we see that Christ was not born in the same fashion as we were. His flesh was made the same as our flesh, the difference is that it was not procreation as we were born, not by man. To see this is to...

We all don't agree on the same things in scripture, that is to be expected. No two people believe the same thing from Gen. to Rev., actually I don't think that is possible. The Second Coming of Christ takes place the very moment the anti-christ invades Israel the second time to completely...

Matthew 24:40-42 is not referring to the rapture as some suppose. It is referring to the Second Coming. "One shall be taken and the other left" is speaking of the suddenness of death that will come to Israel by the hand of the anti-christ. Christ is comparing it to the flood that suddenly came...

Don't know why my last post in not there. try it again. The Christian water baptism is by full body immersion. It has to be this way because water baptism represents the new believers body being fully immersed into the death of Christ. It's a spiritual baptism, it's what takes place at the...

Mom is coning home today! The worst we feared was not the case. They are treating her digestive problem with medication, and she is doing well! Thank You all for your prayers! Very much appreciated!

She is 86 and went to the emergency room last evening, they kept her saying she has some serious problems. They are running tests today to see what's going on. She is the most Godliest person I know, that is saying a lot considering the people I know! She raised me in the ways of the Lord...

Baptism means to immerse something into something else. It is not exclusively for water. Paul said "we who were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death." Here the word "baptism" in the Greek is "baptisma" it refers to the Roman soldiers who dipped the tip of their swords into a...

Theefaith, it is very important that you give audience here, just consider what I'm saying here, that's all I ask. The baptism into Christ, a term Paul uses several times, is in fact the reference to our immersion into the death of Christ at Calvary. Spiritually speaking, by faith in Christ...

That's an immersion into Christ, not water! This verse is the explanation of what happens the very moment we believe. It's work of the Holy Spirit performing the act of regeneration, being born again, how it works spiritually in the eyes of God.
