    Don't call yourself a Christian when you live like the world.

    Lots of folks love Osteen and that's fine. In a live interview some years ago on Larry King Live, Osteen said they never mention the Cross of Christ, or sin. He said, "we don't want of offend anyone." Does that qualify Osteen as a preacher of the Gospel? That is being ashamed to mention the...

    The WRATH of God poured out on Christ … where?

    Deut. 21:22-23 "And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God) that thy land be not...

    The WRATH of God poured out on Christ … where?

    Christ died a horrible death! If He were to die for the most vilest sins know to man, He would have to die the most vilest death know to man. That death was the Roman crucifixion. God's Law demanded that the vilest crimes had a special punishment, to be hung on a tree, accursed from God. It...

    The WRATH of God poured out on Christ … where?

    None of these theories give the reason for why Christ died. This is church dogma! The plain truth as to why Christ had to die is that Adam and Eve directly disobeyed God in the Garden and fell from the state that they were created into sin. Now man has the knowledge of sin, has committed sin...

    The WRATH of God poured out on Christ … where?

    I don't think there is anything that can be said or shown from scripture that can convince me that the Father tool anger against His Son on the Cross. The sin, yes. I remember reading Calvin, who I had little in common, saying how can God to be angry with His Son on the Cross, who pleased Him...

    The WRATH of God poured out on Christ … where?

    I don't believe that the Father was angry with Christ, how could He be. But the Father had no mercy on Christ as our substitute. He faced the full force of the Father's wrath on sin. The Law demanded it!

    A discussion on how the Old Testament applies to Christianity.

    My opinion on this topic, taking the words from a dear friend who has gone on to be with the Lord several years ago is this, it is impossible to understand the New Testament as God intends without having a solid knowledge of the Old. The story of the Holy Bible is the story of Redemption! It is...

    Acts 20:28 and The Deity of Jesus Christ

    @heartwashed, everything that God does is according to the Laws that He Himself has established, and He abides by those Laws. For example, God hath declared that "the wages of sin death" that is a Law of God. When man accepts Christ as their Saviour, that gives the Holy Spirit the legal right...

    Acts 20:28 and The Deity of Jesus Christ

    There is something you are missing. The Spirit of God is the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of Christ is the realm that the Holy Spirit works in. Notice in Rom, 8:9, "The Spirit of God dwell in you." That is the Holy Spirit! Having "The Spirit of Christ" is the realm that the Holy Spirit works...

    Acts 20:28 and The Deity of Jesus Christ

    When God said that in the last days I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh, (Acts 2:17), what Spirit was that? It was the Holy Spirit, a separate person! Is the Holy Spirit a person? He grieves as the scripture says, He has a will and desire. I would say that is a person. In fact, the 3rd...

    Acts 20:28 and The Deity of Jesus Christ

    "I Am That I Am" One famous scholar said of this, "I was, I am, and I shall always continue to be."

    Acts 20:28 and The Deity of Jesus Christ

    That is ridiculous! You obviously do not understand the Godhead exists in 3 divine persons having the same divine nature.

    Acts 20:28 and The Deity of Jesus Christ

    Yes, I certainly agree!

    Acts 20:28 and The Deity of Jesus Christ

    This is heresy, hw! You have limited the Saviour's ability as God. I don't know who taught this to you! But I know its source is from a misunderstanding of the Trinity.

    Acts 20:28 and The Deity of Jesus Christ

    He is Deity in immortal flesh, there is nothing finite about Him!
  16. Charlie24

    Acts 20:28 and The Deity of Jesus Christ

    NO! He is God and Man and not limited. How can the Creator of all things be limited?

    Acts 20:28 and The Deity of Jesus Christ

    He is and forever more will be Man and God in His glorified body.

    Acts 20:28 and The Deity of Jesus Christ

    Mortal fls Yes, Jesus is sitting on the right hand of God right now in the flesh. Not mortal flesh, for mortal flesh cannot enter into heaven. He is immortal flesh, the body in which He was resurrected, a glorified body.

    Acts 20:28 and The Deity of Jesus Christ

    @heartwashed, are you a preterist?

    Acts 20:28 and The Deity of Jesus Christ

    "Is come in the flesh?" What do you mean by that? I know that He "has" come in the flesh, past tense.
