Our “acceptance” (Eph 1:6) in the Father is sustained by the same provision which established it—the life of Christ—thus there can be nothing in the believer’s new life in Christ (Col 3:4) which can possibly effect the continuance of this acceptance. But rather, the Father’s intention of...

Hi WW - Thanks for your reply, which I find very neighbor-concerned oriented and the most sensitive to Christian learning I've yet to have seen posted. I can understand the conclusion you established concerning the author's article, but I do not believe it conceives of any Christian becoming...

I am doubtless that the most misunderstood Biblical doctrine in contemporary Christendom is that which concerns law and grace. It’s surely understandable, esp. early in the Christian lives of most believers, that what God had done with the nation of Israel He is now doing with the rest of the...

I agree Brother, this "flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God," but it will be "changed" into a similar body that will.

I believe we will have the same glorified body Jesus had and still has. Physically incorruptible flesh and bone, etc. (Luke 24:39). I think Jesus retaining the glorified body (physical/spiritual) will be an everlasting memento to His relating with us.

Again, that's what I like about your posts, they are Scriptural and subject applicable. My understanding of John 3:6 is that it is related to man's conception as opposed to Christ's conception. He was the only One to be conceived by the Holy Spirit (only begotten of the Father), we were...

My Brother and friend, nearly all Greek words have multiple definitions, as all words usually do, and it's the subject within the context that determines the meaning. "Sarx" has four Greek definitions and in this usage it is the fourth of Strong's transliteration. IV. The flesh, denotes...

Thank you too for the reply and comment! It can be seen that much of the materials I share contain fairly repetitious subjects and Scripture, because nearly all of Christian learning requires the same answer and derive from a like source.

The Red Sea is the type of the death of the Lord Jesus, in its application to sin, the world and Satan. By His death unto sin the believer is completely and forever positionally delivered from the power of sin (positional-truth literally places us in the life of Christ - Col 3:4 - and not our...

Hi Purity - I appreciate your reply, but not sure of your meaning. I only have a small idea of your intention. God's blessings to your Family!

Hi Day - Thanks for your reply. Along the line of your concept, I would like to comment that the "sin exists," not necessarily in the will as much as it is in the nature of the will. This is taking into consideration that the will is the deciding factor of the soul, which is orchestrated by...

The Reformation regained the truth of the first Pauline revelation, namely, justification by faith alone (Sola fide—Latin: faith alone -NC), but did not go on to restore the truth contained in the second revelation (Eph 5:32). It is altogether possible that the problems attending the...

The Old Testament uses the word “flesh” to mean only one thing—the physical body, because it was not until Christ that the “flesh”—sinful nature—was addressed with the application of being finally “condemned” (Rom 8:3). For example, the phrase in the above reference, “sinful flesh,” does not...

I appreciate that you like the posts and thanks for the encouragement.

I would like to thank the Admin/Mod team for such a nice site to be a part of--which due to their continuous improvising provides an ever-enhancing fellowship experience. God's blessings to your Families! The positional-truth (un-hinderingly heaven bound) of the believer has prominence over...

The lost need saved and the saved needs deliverance. He must increase in you, not you must increase in Him, for you must decrease (John 3:30)—that is, your old self or “old man” will continue to have less effect on you as the Spirit continues to increase His influence in you. As the Spirit...

There is nothing higher than the heart of the Father—the eternal dwelling place of the Son, and there can be nothing lower that the Cross and the grave; but, amazing truth! I find the Lord Jesus in both. I find Him in the heart, and I find Him in the grave. He went down into death in order that...

The OT usages of "children" also means "sons" indicating a child-father relationship between Creator and man (Gen 6:2; Heb 12:9) and esp. between Israelites and God Deut 14:1), but my intention is to explain the differences between the OT and NT usages of this doctrine. In the OT it was as a...

The love of God is the same for His people (Old Testament) and for His children (New Testament). The difference is in the relationship. Prior to the coming of Christ individuals were known only as the people of God (Jud 20:2; 2 Sam 14:13; Heb 11:25) but now, believers are not only people of God...
