Yes, and that is the mystery of the Trinity Christians have argued for throughout history. While Jesus is a person of the Trinity, he is fully God. He is not part of God. He is fully God in every way, yet one person of the Trinity. We are not polytheists, we do not believe in three separate...

You said "When you are God, you can talk to yourself..." And you know this, how? And where do you derive this information that "Abba did not put all of himself permanently into Yeshua..." Seems to me that the Bible says that Jesus was given the Spirit without limit and that he was in very...

Ezekiel, Yes, it is true that numbers had meaning for Hebrews. However, it is an error to suggest the numbers are complex puzzles pointing to various gates, times or dates. Like poetry, the numbers evoke feelings and do not point to locations or times for various predictive efforts.

I think this original post is a bit misleading. As Christians, we obviously would say that our beliefs are very different from other religions that are based in seeking or doing things to appease God. However, that is not how the dictionary defines "religion." Religion is defined as, "the...

Naomi, I think the Dispensational view is that the Church is raptured away completely at this time and therefore the Church age has ended and a new dispensation begins (perhaps the Spirit doesn't dwell in Israelites at this time which is why they need the Temple again?). In any event, it seems...

Stranger, I appreciate your response. I understand that the millennium is not heaven and is not the ultimate destination that dispensationalists long for. Yet it still seems to focus God's promises (all the promises of the OT) on an earthly city in the Middle East. Why would Paul explicitly...

Thank your for your well thought reply. I disagree with this statement because it seems clear to me that the book of Hebrews says this cannot be the case. So if it is true that the first covenant has "vanished away" and that the blood of bulls and goats pointed to "the good things to come"...

“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,” (1 Corinthians 6:9, NKJV) “Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity...

Interesting. I don't ever recall using the word "sinless" so if you hear that a lot, I don't think its coming from me.

Ok, well I can work with that. if you just make a quick note saying something like, "The above verse indicates the spirit I think..." that would be very helpful. Then we can discuss the verse and your ideas about it. I would appreciate that. Makes sense. You just need to understand that...

Yes, it is an insult in my mind because those things were foreshadowing the coming of Christ and his great work of redemption. To reinstitute the Temple and sacrifices is to act as if Christ and his cross were of null effect! The sacrifices pointed to his sacrifice. The temple is a copy of...

o_O If you see that post as threatening, I think it says more about you than the post. 1. I don't see the difference between not looking at porn and being "porn free." Isn't someone who does not look at pornography porn free? 2. I think you are confusing lust with porn. Porn is short for...

Naomi, You hit the nail on the head here. My biggest concern with dispensationalism is their improper (in my view) fixation on national Israel. I think we see the NT clearly indicate that flesh accounts for nothing, but only faith and that Christ removed these boundaries. Moreover, the NT...

How can someone who thinks they know it all learn anything? Again, I'm more than willing to listen to Bible-driven explanations of your views. I am not willing to engage in meaningless babble that implies that I can't understand anything because I'm blinded by sin. Your only responses seem to...

Once again, you offer no biblical passages that support your views nor expound on any text to show how the Bible supports your views. You just say that my view is "fleshly" while yours is obviously spiritual. This is a non-answer and is nothing but childish name-calling. Personally, I think...

Well, I am happy for you. However, that is not my experience nor is it what I see the Bible teach.

What is your problem? I told you I do not look at porn. I simply praise another brother for his post about the dangers of sexual sin and you come along and try to accuse me and the OP of all kinds of sin. I am under no obligation to answer anything you ask. If your questions are ridiculous...

Just to add my 2 cents... 1. Amillenialists are not arguing that these things are not "real" either. We argue that many of the symbols and images refer to spiritual realities (which are real, even though they are not physical) or are indefinite periods or groups of people. For example, the...

I don't know how you can say I am arguing only because I disagree politically. I didn't even know what your political views are or what political parties you support until your last post. Clearly I didn't understand what you were saying or there wouldn't have been the confusion to begin with...

I am not avoiding your questions, I am pointing out how your questions are misguided and irrelevant. As I said, I am not claiming to be holier and better than anyone. We are all sinners. However, that is no excuse to indulge in sin. Sin IS a big deal and especially sexual sin. We should be...
