sanctification is God separating us to Himself. most people who are separated from old circles of friends who live in daily habitual sin, or from jobs, family members, etc., are not separated over night. it is a process. just as I said. being separated from our old ways, our old habits, old...

Beautiful!

The narrative cited previously from Zechariah outlines an actual millennial reign scenario that would chronologically take place before the final, and possibly second, Gog Magog battle. Revelation 20:7-10 English Standard Version The Defeat of Satan 7 And when the thousand years are ended...

contrary to modern mainstream teachings, sanctification is a process. James 3:2 makes clear that we all stumble often. we then confess and pray for help, we repent more and more all the time of old habits and possibly even addictions via assistance of the Holy Spirit. we work our way gradually...

if Jesus broke the Sabbath, that would make Him a sinner. we know beyond debate that He was not, and couldn't possibly have sinned. therefore, you are misreading the text, it is a misinterpretation from the original Greek or it doesn't mean what you think it means. I can show you a handful of...

well, when your verses exist and my verses exist, the Christian must make a decision for themselves. if I want to get as close to Jesus as possible, what's wrong with that? Jesus even says 'if you love Me, keep the Commandments.' if I want to emulate Christ, because I love Him and all that He...

sunday-keeping is traditions of men, not to mention pagan tradition. the only day God ever blessed, sanctified and commanded to be kept holy was saturday. even Jesus' disciples kept it after He died.

no, it is not. it is not putting Christians back under anything to obey the very Commandments Christ obeyed and taught us to obey. Christ obeyed them as an example to us and died the perfect sinless Savior. we are freed from it. but we still must obey the 10 Commandments. Jesus obeyed them...

people who are born of God still sin. that's what James 3:2 is talking about. that's why we have confession and repentance. can you define what keeping the Spirit of the Law is, Biblically? so there's no misunderstanding.

well, no. it means to live inside of us as verse 23 elaborates on it. John 14:23

yes. Jesus says it's the very obeying of the Commandments that allows Him to indwell us. John 14:21 the book of John is my favorite.

I haven't seen a thread this thorough on the topic anywhere before. very well said. and I have some new verses for fodder.

it's still obviously just one event. that's what the semi-colon means. "there will be an event (semi-colon); and here's what happens at said event." some that come forth will be raised to life, some will be raised to damnation. have you found any verses that state clearly that there will be a...

thanks. how do you justify to yourself ignoring all of the end times passages that declare that the earth will be utterly destroyed by fire? maybe you can help me to see it your way.

Most of their current dogma is taken from the King Follett Discourse that was delivered in Nauvoo, IL shortly before Joseph Smith Jr. was murdered (cut off) by an angry mob in Carthage, IL a little short of two months after delivering that blasphemy.

IMO, Zech Chapters 8 and 14 as quoted above do teach that it will happen upon this planet, because the penalty for those nations that do not go up to Jerusalem during the feast of Tabernacles/Sukkot will be that no rains will fall on the rebelling nations for the following year. Feel free to...

yes, IF they were obedient to God's Laws, which they were not - leading to the Land being taken away BY GOD and given to others and Israel being led away captive to a pagan land for centuries. they lost the land due to their disobedience. nowhere in the Bible does it say that the land was...

oops. now you've really done it. even if your position had been correct (which it's not), you just did some real damage to your case by blatantly misrepresenting your own piece of evidence. the verse you are referring to reads thus: "But the rest of the dead lived not until again until the...

I do understand your reluctance. As you wish. Cheers.

Hence the reason there are over Hence, the reason there are over 47000 protestant groups with two more being formed every month (at least that was the latest number that I found on a web search). Unity may only be accomplished when Jesus returns. I know that I don't plan on questioning...
