    He has given the animal to us to represent a higher reality. Why can't you see that? When he said... "this is my blood?" Did that mean he has grape juice in his veins???

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    From God's perspective as found in the Word we must learn to see ourselves. I am not my flesh since I have been saved! I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved...

    It only says the life of the *animal* is in its blood. Not man. Leviticus 17:11 For the life (the animal) is in the blood, and I have given it for you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement, by reason of the life [which it represents] The...

    You crossed over and confused the issue with blood being the issue. Its interesting to know. But its not the blood that makes one a sinner.

    And likewise... Ok, that is one person's interpretation. Yours. And . while we are at it? You said.... Why a virgin? Could not Jesus have been born of a prostitute and still be sinless?

    The human spirit and a soul were not air for the lungs.... The real human life is in the soul. The real life for the soul is a human spirit. That is why it says, "he became a living soul." Air is only for the temporary physical body.

    My pastor who taught us from the Hebrew showed us something many do not get to learn. The Lord breathed into Adam's nostrils his "human spirit" and soul. The Hebrew does not say breath of life. Its plural. "Breath of lives." (human spirit and soul) Here is an example: Why does...

    Yet, its God who makes people "able" to believe. And, God knowing what they think in their hearts may refuse to enable them. God does not make us believe. God, according what a person wishes to think about themself, makes us "able" to believe. Or, refuses to enable. But he gives us more...

    If comprehending the Word of God depended upon human IQ? God would be unfair. God's Word is all about spiritual IQ, - not human IQ. God knowing the hearts of men will deliberately refuse some the ability to see with the eyes of their heart. For the hearts of this people have grown dull...

    19 verses? Which only proves you know how to locate passages with keywords. But, that was a lot of verses to admit you do not understand in their application. Then you turn around and prove you still can not comprehend John 1:18... and that's only one verse. How come others do get it...

    Why do you study the Bible? What is your motivation to do so? To teach others to better understand the Truth of God's Scripture requires that you be filled with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit will not distort like you have been doing terribly. So you are here to teach us your version of what...

    So... with God its possible for Him to lie now? Well? You just said so. All things are possible. God lied to us when we read John 1:18? Which says that the Son is the Father's means to make Himself knowable to us? If He is not God? Then we are not knowing God. See the problem...

    He is the Son of God. THE Son of God. Could you know the Father if there were no Son?

    What is : imputed Righteousness

    Imputed Righteousness is God declaring that what isn't in our experience is being what it is! Imputed - means God "puts" it on us. Cloak of righteousness.. “I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a turban." Job 29:14 Imparted - means He makes us a...

    His humanity (our contact point with God) will always have the Father as His God. For, when we are one with Jesus OUR GOD is always the Father. So? To contact Jesus, is to be contacting God through Jesus. Its God's way of making Himself knowable to us. The Father is our God through Christ...

    Do not confuse the two different functions. It was the priests in the Temple who received the people and offered animal sacrifices on their behalf. It was the Levite tribe that did that service. There was only one high priest at a time and could never fulfill that duty of the priests in...

    It was in response to what Jim C said.... I believe he was missing the point. For we are NOW functioning as our own priests before God. Not waiting till we get to Heaven. It seems Jim thinks Jesus is taking up the slack for our function until we get to Heaven. At least, that is what he...

    A high priest always existed above the priests in authority. He was not there substituting and awaiting them to function as priests.

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    A priest had the authority to represent himself before God. That is why they always had to purify themselves before God before performing their priestly duties in the Temple. To purify themselves it was done directly between the priest and God. We as 'believer priests' are having authority to...
