    The interpretation of Colossians 1:15–20 -in proper context and theme

    It should be obvious Paul's creation here, concerns the new man, the new creation in Christ, and not Genesis. We can step through the entire Chapter and discover this together if you want.

    The interpretation of Colossians 1:15–20 -in proper context and theme

    Thanks Fred for your response, although I believe Paul is speaking to his audience about an important message of hope, not with the constant obsession of self-identification of the key subjects in it.

    The interpretation of Colossians 1:15–20 -in proper context and theme

    No, I sincerely have not intended or added one iota to this verse that would change its true meaning and the contextual setting, as you are bend on doing, and of course I do know why. You cannot afford to leave my post standing as it exists, as others of the past. It must be shot down at all...

    The interpretation of Colossians 1:15–20 -in proper context and theme

    At verse 1 Cor 8:6), there's more then to explain I see? Without again adding into this verse any religious and novel preconceived ideas.... This verse distinguishes between "one God" (the Father) and "one Lord" (Jesus Christ), asserting that Yeshua is not included in the one God of the Shema...

    Did Jesus say that he was the Messiah? - Answering the question

    Of course he did: To the Samaritan woman: In John 4:25–26, when she stated, "I know that Messiah is coming," Jesus replied, "I who speak to you am he." At His trial: When the high priest asked, "Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?", Jesus answered, "I am" (Mark 14:62) or "You have...

    The interpretation of Colossians 1:15–20 -in proper context and theme

    Yhank you for your post, BL. I will focus on the first part of your response. (1Co 8:6) Yet to us there is one God, the Father, from whom all things come and for whom we exist; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things exist, and through whom we live. Yes, BL, you are right. I...

    The interpretation of Colossians 1:15–20 -in proper context and theme

    I see you cannot or will not clarify your position from your previous post to me. And now you use the shot-gun approach to try and overwhelm me and quiet me. I would also wager you cannot even clarify this list you gave to support your position. Besides what I've already said on this thread I...

    Dante Alighieri Terrifies Europe

    Insightful, eternal destiny.. The metaphor frames human life as a voyage where the "star" acts as a navigational guide for the soul. By interpreting the "star" as a specific astrological sign or a personal vocation, Dante suggests that integrity and purpose lead to a "glorious haven,"...

    The interpretation of Colossians 1:15–20 -in proper context and theme

    I believe you are trying to say that the word 'sent' in John 3:17 proves Yeshua's pre-existence. And if this is the case you would be wrong even as the casual observer would read the verse. Need I go further and explain myself or do you want the opportunity to explain it in more clarity? I give...

    Are the promises in John 14:12-14 true?

    I believe the passage from James is relevant to us, though to a lesser degree over the centuries and today, and only to the genuine fragmented Body of Christ. Therefore, it does not hold the same intensity as when it was first applied to the foundation of the Body of Christ in the 1st century...

    Are the promises in John 14:12-14 true?

    So what are really trying to say here, as you obviously want it to apply to your view(s) on this subject? Do I have to read between your lines and guess then...

    Are the promises in John 14:12-14 true?

    This passage of scripture is quite different from your thread title of John 12. This is for rebirth and regeneration of the heart into the Kingdom, that was as active in the 1st century as it is today. And I would venture to say, in conversion figures of less percentage of the population today...

    Iran NUKES Destroyed : In case you missed it.

    It's the former... This is an old Israeli lie concerning Iran, and therefore Trump lied (who lies with them). This has been the Israeli propaganda line for decades. It has been told since the 1980s. And it will be told again in the next few years and decades to come.

    Are the promises in John 14:12-14 true?

    I do not align myself with labels like Cessationism or Continuationism regarding this topic. In fact I do like label views, period, made up in many other scriptural subjects that supposedly have multiple interpretations. People have created at least two viewpoints because they lack the...

    Are the promises in John 14:12-14 true?

    Once the message was confirmed and the apostolic foundation laid, the need for these specific "sign gifts" to validate the truth of the gospel ceased, as the written Word now serves as the ultimate authority. Reemphasizing the fact that the 1st century gospel spread was vital to ignite and set...

    Are the promises in John 14:12-14 true?

    It's obvious that miracles, as I suggested, they were a centerpiece of bringing people to God via the gospel, as Christ performed. These things were instrumental in the revealing the gospel and Christ to others. It became more real to people.

    Are the promises in John 14:12-14 true?

    Not trying to be too impersonal or blunt here, although I think you are missing the context for/at John 14:12-14. The promise in John 14:12-14 that believers will do "greater works," like miracles, and that Yeshua will "do whatever you ask in my name" is contextually intended to refer to...

    How is it that you come by your information?

    This topic and discussion focus on discerning whether someone is truly in God and His Son, genuinely in spirit or not. It is intended solely for genuine Christians. Those who are genuinely filled with God's spirit through His Son's spirit will recognize many moments when God's holy nature and...
