Yes, the context of this section is all about being a servant to our brothers and sisters. Even though we, as Christians, are the apex of God's work, we are not to use that to go around bragging how good we are. Instead we are to be humble and use the power God gave us for service to others...

Thanks and peace to you also brother!

Yes, but unfortunately there seem to be many Christians who are comfortable with tradition and are not willing to do the work of rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15). I'm always surprised at the apparent lack of respect for God's word by too many Christians.

I love that section in Philippians, especially 2:5 where it says we are to have the same mind as Christ. So are we to think we're also God? I don't think so. It must be talking about something else. I'd tell you if you want. But if you want to keep believing as you do, I won't bother.

Why do you keep saying it's my mystery? Have you taken the time to read the verses I quoted? How do they not say Paul was given information that had not been known until God gave it to Paul. Please, be specific, use the scriptures to state your position. Don't let yourself get thrown off kilter...

Whoa there guy! Relax. Take a deep breath. I didn't write Romans, Ephesians, or Colossians. Rom 16:25, Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began...

If that's the case, Jesus or the Holy Spirit apparently didn't get the word. Both pronouns in verse 27 are singular. Are you aware that there are many spiritual beings in heaven? Angels, principalities, powers, etc. There are several records that say God conferred with those spiritual beings to...

My mystery? The only mystery I mentioned is the one that is in the verses I quoted. Rom 16:25, Now to him that is able to stablish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which hath been kept in silence through times eternal...

I see what you're saying. Thanks.

Well. from this and your previous statement that the Bride is the same as the Body, I can tell you don't understand the mystery that I'm talking about, the one that was hid in God until He revealed it to Paul. I don't mean to demean you in any way for a lack of knowledge. One can't know what...

Then why do you keep talking?

What do you think is the mystery that was hid in God until He revealed it to Paul? Col 1:26, even the mystery which hath been hid from all ages and generations: but now hath it been manifested to his saints, Whist is "now" if not in contrast to the past ages and generations? Did Moses or...

There's not much I can say about such a caustic post other than you've managed to take the "new" math (1+1+1=3 in 1) to a higher level for sure. :)

Well, in the OT a Gentile could be joined up with the Jews. As such they became part of the Bride of Christ. Paul talked about the Body of Christ. In the OT God dwelt in the tabernacle. According to Paul, God dwells within the body, where there is no Jew or Gentile. Col 3:10-11, 10 and have...

Yes. Not many Christians have been taught that the Apostle Paul was give a gospel that is quite different than that of Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John. Rom 2:16, In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my (Paul's) gospel. Rom 16:25, Now to him that is of...

Well, actually Ephesians 2 (particularly vs 14 & 15) is clear that God made a new creation composed of both Jews and Gentiles. They are called the Body of Christ. That body is the dwelling place of God. Just read Ephesians 2. You'll see it. Then there's this: Gal 3:28, There is neither Jew...

That's what I was thinking. Otherwise God gave some pretty unsavory individuals to the church, what with the burning at the stake, child abuse, and more.

How sad to have no sense of humor.

I'd think that trying to make make three gods somehow really one god would definitely make one's brain smoke. Just kidding around. :)

I guess I misunderstood you a wee bit. Sorry about that. :) I'm not a JW, a Oneness Pentecostal, or any thing that I know of. I'm just a little 'ol son of God!
