You take the Covenant promise ordained from the foundation of the world through the Lamb slain to be fulfilled from the foundation of the world? It was through promise that Old Covenant faithful saints believing upon hearing of the Savior/Messiah were saved by grace before He came. However it...

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. The need for self-edification is simply something I don't believe is seen in character of the Apostle Paul. I believe Paul speaking with tongue(s) meant he spoke with many different languages, not unknown, simply unlearned human languages. Through God...

The Fig Tree is a symbol of the New Covenant Church. Luke 13:6-9 (KJV) He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking...

What translation are you using? I present three translations that do not say "appeared to many PEOPLE". Why does that matter? Because the holy city that was Israel of Old, ceased being a holy city when Christ came and cursed the city and it was left desolate. (Mt 23:37-38) They went into the...

Doesn't appear that way to me Mary!

Once again you prove you defend a doctrine that you have learned from man. I find it laughable that you have the audacity to accuse others of the very thing you are guilty of. Clearly, if you knew how to study the Word of God in the power of the Holy Spirit you would understand the same Holy...

I'm a little confused, could you tell me why you believe speaking (I assume in prayer) to the Spirit through your spirit is in a language other than earthly? What or where does "a prayer language from God which no man understands" come from? When I speak through my spirit to God in prayer, it...

The faithful saints as complete human beings with body + spirit as living souls are spiritually with the Lord in heaven the moment we are born again of His Spirit. And nothing in heaven or this world will ever be able to take us spiritually away from him, not even death of our body. The soul...

Godslittleservant, you are not teaching harmony without contradiction of the Word of God. You are forcing disharmony and contradiction teaching that man must be baptized in water to be saved. Salvation is God's gracious free gift to mankind who believe the Gospel. But mankind, being...

Calvin intended to put out a complete commentary of the Bible, but his death prevented this. He did not write commentaries on the books of Judges, Ruth, 1 & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings, 1 & 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, 2 & 3 John, and Revelation...

You're beginning to sound like a broken record, and clanging cymbal! If you want to continue to rely on mankind for understanding of Scripture that's your prerogative. I've come to assume you have never learned how to study the Word of God, and are therefore dependent upon others to lead. The...

But praise God, I have help through prayer and Christ's Spirit in me. When I err in understanding I find these to be my most valuable assets. John 14:26 (KJV) But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all...

The book of Revelation was included in the Holy Scriptures and accepted by the Church from 419. However, the greatest reason why it is canonical is its authenticity. Polycarp was a disciple of John and attested to its veracity; both Irenaeus and Hippolytus have written and exegeted it. Justin...

There is a crucial rule that must not be ignored if we desire to rightly understand biblical doctrine. That is our understanding MUST NEVER FORCE CONTRADICTIONS INTO THE WORD OF GOD! Contradiction forced into the Word of God means our understanding is not biblical, because God does not...

Prove what you allege from the Word of God! You're clinging to an unbiblical doctrine and refuse to be corrected no matter how many verses prove you are in error. Nowhere does the Bible say we MUST be baptized in physical water to be saved!

I believe God, and trust that He has preserved His Word as He says He would throughout the generations! Why would I want to chase after other non-canonical books to find biblical truth? Sorry but it makes zero sense to me!

My ultimate authority is the Word of God! If my elders are not in agreement with the Word of God, or they give advise that goes against biblical doctrine, then I would be a fool to listen to them. And I would look for a Covenant body of believers, called Church where the leadership of the...

If you are relying on them for biblical truth, you better start praying they have all truth. Of course, how would you know if they do or not since you are depending on them without studying to show yourself approved unto God, a workman who need not be ashamed!

Sorry to disappoint you, but I follow the doctrine that comes from the Word of God! I would hope that we all follow after the doctrine we have learned from Holy Scripture, and not the doctrines that come from men. It's not that we must not listen to others, many of whom have far greater...

I accept the Bible as has been passed down by faith. Clearly many before me do not accept the book of Enoch should be included in the canons of Scripture. There is nothing to authenticate the book of Enoch are words that proceed from the mouth of God through His Spirit, and therefore the Word...
