    Antichrist - Pope

    Well it took more thought, fact checking and effort than you put into your reply. You even said, "I can't be bothered", so why did you bother to reply? Just so you could attack me, calling me not very bright? Mat 5:43-45 (WEB): (43) “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Gal 3:26-27,29 (WEB): (26) For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus. (27) For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. (29) If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to promise. 2Co 5:17 (WEB): (17) Therefore if...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    I disagree. Please see the new thread I've just created - Antichrist - Pope.

    Antichrist - Pope

    So how can the pope change God’s law? Did He create the heavens and the Earth? Obviously not, so it is not surprising that the forth commandment is the commandment he changed, as God said the Sabbath is the seal of His authority as our Maker and Lawgiver; a sign between Him and us that we are...

    Antichrist - Pope

    I've recently read a chapter of a book titled King Of The Ark, "A study on the discovery of the Ark of the Covenant", by Rebecca Tourniaire (KING OF THE ARK - Thirdangelsmessage.com % %). It covers the subject of the antichrist. I thought I'd share it here, as I find it very interesting: In...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Mat 7:7 - “Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find." Seek the truth and you will find it! :)

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Sorry, I should have investigated further. In the WEB and Websters verses 25 - 27 are missing. In ESV and TLV verse 24 is missing (and greyed out in ASV and LSV). Barnes notes says of verses 25-27 that these "verses are found in many manuscripts at the close of the fourteenth chapter. Its...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    There is no verse 26 of Romans 16!

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Yes, because pouring water three times onto a person's head, and fasting, were not the original way of baptising, and were made up things, a falling away from following the original teachings (as was baptising "into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" - it should have...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    It's not my personal interpretation! There are Bible translations which translate it as 'in', so the scholars that produced those translations believed it should be translated as 'in'. The 'Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges' (to give it its full name) notes was written over 100 years...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    I think you're getting desperate if you're claiming that Paul's letter to the Galations is not to be trusted! If you're not claiming that, then I don't understand why you're mentioning a non-Biblical document and claiming that I am desperate. :confused:

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    I'm sorry, I should have been more precise. When I said, "The Greek word 'en' is mostly translated as 'in'" I meant that of all of the occurrences of the Greek word 'en' the majority are translated as 'in' (compared with less than 5% of the time it is translated as 'with'). From the Online...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Popular doesn't necessarily mean correct! The Greek word 'en' is mostly translated as 'in'. As the Cambridge Bible notes says for verse 31, "‘With water’ is literally ‘in water’ here and John1:26."

    That depends on whether or not they lived in Jersalem! But yes, they would have got wet.

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Galatians 1:6 (ESV): (6) I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— Paul wrote Galatians a few months before his attendance at the Jerusalem Council in AD 49 (according to Book of Galatians Overview -...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    And John the Baptist said, John 1:26 (WEB): (26) John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    I don't think that is what it is describing: Matthew 3:16-17 (WEB): (16) As soon as Jesus was baptized, he came up out of the water. Then heaven was opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God coming down like a dove and lighting on him. (17) Then a voice said from heaven, "This is my own...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    That whole chapter is God talking to the nation of Israel. You should include the previous verse, and the next verse, to get some context, Ezekiel 36:24-25,28 (WEB): (24) I will take you from every nation and country and bring you back to your own land. (25) I will sprinkle clean water on...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Well he did say "baptise them", which means to immerse in water! Sprinkling is not baptism though. Titus 3:5 (5) not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, Compare with the...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    It's not a demonstration of humility, it is God's Son being obedient and doing a difficult job for his Father. Jesus has redeemed all mankind, and he will establish a kingdom on earth and in heaven, restore all mankind back to perfection, judge all mankind and the angels, and destroy all those...
