    The Maker Of All Made Sin For Us

    Dear Logikas, You said: There is no need for any second "scriptural witness". The text of GOD'S word is clear as it can be! God's Word is written so that only those who have been given "eyes that can see" will understand it. Paul says that he teaches in a "mystery" (1Cor 2:7) and that he...

    The Maker Of All Made Sin For Us

    Dear Logikos: There is no second witness to Christ being made "sin". That alone proves that Christ was not made sin, because for any truth to be proven, there must be at least "two or three witnesses" according to the Law. Christ re-enforced this requirement in Luke 22:38: Luke 22:38 And they...

    The Maker Of All Made Sin For Us

    Dear Grace ambassador, The NT was written in Greek. The translations from the Greek contain errors. The KJV has had over 1,000 corrections since it was first printed. The errors are not God's Word. The KJV still contains many errors, most of which were caused by translator bias. The improper...

    The Maker Of All Made Sin For Us

    Dear Grace ambassador, Christ was not made sin for us. 2Cor 5:21 is commonly mistranslated. It should read that Christ was made a sin offering for us: 2Cor 5:21 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ. (NLT)...

    What was Paul's thorn in the flesh?

    Dear DLT, I believe that Paul's "thorn in the flesh" was the tremendous amount of physical suffering that he had to endure for the sake of spreading the Gospel. 2Cor 11:23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in...

    The Wages of Sin is Death, even the second Death

    Dear MatthewG, Scripture says that Christ came to fulfill the Law and not just some of it. He satisfied the blood sacrifice requirements of the Law at the cross. He is now working individually from "within" mankind to fulfill the remainder of the Law. After His work is complete, all who died...

    The Wages of Sin is Death, even the second Death

    Dear bro.tan, You are not hearing the words of Christ. It is Christ within us who keeps the commandments because He is the one who causes us to "will and do of His good pleasure". By mixing in your own works with faith under the New Covenant, you are practicing religion which is the crooked...

    The Wages of Sin is Death, even the second Death

    Dear bro.tan, I have thoroughly read all of Hebrews chapter 10 and it is teaching on the difference between the Old Covenant of Law vs. the New Covenant of Grace through faith. The Old Covenant is founded upon man's works and the New Covenant is founded upon the works of Christ. The...

    Seven Signs of the End..

    Dear Hobie, In your understanding of Matthew chapter 24, you are forgetting that Christ's words are 'spirit". To understand spirit words, we are to compare spiritual words and with spiritual words. After their true meaning is discerned, the message should be applied spiritually (within) a...

    The Wages of Sin is Death, even the second Death

    Dear bro.tan, I just wanted to make some comments about this statement of yours: To repent means to turn from our sinful ways and start obeying God's law. The water baptism signifies the washing away of our past sins. After repenting and being baptized in the name of Jesus it would be foolish...

    The Wages of Sin is Death, even the second Death

    Dear bro.tan, You have built your foundation with "works" mixed with faith. With this faulty foundation, you cannot build upon it. That is the reason you can't accept the verses I am posting which contradict your beliefs. Until your foundation is destroyed and replaced with the foundation of...

    The Wages of Sin is Death, even the second Death

    Dear bro.tan, We are saved by Christ and not by our own works. When Christ is ready to save a person, He will come to them and give them the Holy Spirit. With the Spirit, they will have the faith they need to call Jesus "Lord". This is the only way it can happen because of what this verse...

    The Wages of Sin is Death, even the second Death

    Dear bro.tan, You said: In Revelation 22: 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of...

    Jesus is the answer. - But what's the question?

    Dear Aunty Jane, You asked: Have you studied the scriptures carefully FWD? I am sure that you think you have, but whose ideas are you promoting? Who told you that what you state is the truth, and the correct interpretation? Are you not one of many who identify as “Christians”, all with different...

    Jesus is the answer. - But what's the question?

    Dear Aunty Jane, You said: You do realize that what you inferred there was an interpretation of scripture that suits your beliefs…..nowhere is this statement given the interpretation you have gleaned from it. My beliefs only come from scripture and my understanding of scripture comes from the...

    Jesus is the answer. - But what's the question?

    Dear O'Darby, I hardly think that keeping the name of Jesus off bumper stickers, T-shirts and billboards is equivalent to what the Puritans taught, nor is it a "grim, strict, and narrow view". The name of Jesus is holy and is above all names. It should be given the highest level of respect and...

    Jesus is the answer. - But what's the question?

    Dear St.SteVen, So you don't believe this scripture below? Prov 2:1 My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, 2 making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; 3 yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for...

    The Wages of Sin is Death, even the second Death

    CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... The true church consists of only converted Elect believers who have received both the Early and Latter Rains of the Spirit. Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. The "many" who are "called" will enter the church after they receive the Early...

    The Wages of Sin is Death, even the second Death

    Dear bro.tan I only want to respond to your first paragraph since we have had discussions on what you stated in your last two paragraphs. I agree that when we first accept Jesus in our lives our salvation is not secure. I want to explain more on this truth below. But before I do, I want to...

    Jesus is the answer. - But what's the question?

    Dear O'Darby, Jesus is holy and righteous. It is wrong to place His name on a bumper sticker regardless of how it is used. Christ should not be brought down to being some type of advertisement or joke. It is very inappropriate and it violates the second commandment. Joe
