Since the new covenant is still with national Israel, i e. the HOUSE of Israel, and since gentile believers are not in their new covenant without being GRAFTED in, per Romans 11, then it’s not true that all Christians are spiritual Jews - that’s not what that passage really means. It means that...

Paul differentiated between fellowship in a congregation in church, and going forth into the world - in church we avoid or kick out heretics and hypocrites, but we can’t shun sinners out in the world - I’d think this forum isn’t church, but it is a place where error can be exposed and hopefully...

Keeping in mind that God loves those on their way to hell, too. His love is unconditional, but salvation is very conditional, and after salvation, remaining in Christ is conditional on continuing to walk in the light, as He is in the light, wrote Paul.

Absolutely agree. And the Bible warns us to stay away from those in the last days, that have a form of godliness, but deny the DUNAMIS power, thereof. Dunamis being Holy Spirit miracle working dynamic power. 2 Timothy 3:1 and 3:5 Stay away from churches that say miracles, healing, and...

The risen Jesus accepted the worship of the apostles, who fell at His feet and worshipped Him. If Jesus is not God the Word, then He sinned by accepting their worship. Throughout the New Testament, the apostles instantly stopped those who started to worship them, but Jesus accepted it. Mat...

Guess what - since the last time you posted your “one verse Charlie proof text”, the word ONE still hasn’t changed it’s Hebrew meaning - ECHAD still proves the trinity, because it still means ONE IN COMPOSITE UNITY, such as ONE sheet of THREE layer plywood, or ONE cluster holding multiple...

There’s no mystery there. Philippians 2, Jesus emptied Himself to leave the form of God He had by His very nature, and TOOK the form of a man, and humble servant. As a man on earth, the Father, who is God, is His God, too. Which does not negate the fact that Jesus is God the Logos, by His very...

Godhead is Theotes in the Greek, if memory serves, and a lexicon defines it as: the state of being God. Thus the verse means that in Christ dwells all the fullness of the state of being God, bodily. And Isaiah calls Messiah, the mighty God, the everlasting Father.

The problem with your post about Revelation 1:8, is that all the versions still have Jesus saying that in Revelation 22:13, so it not being in the first book is irrelevant, because He still says it in the last book: Rev 22:12 "See! I am coming soon! My reward is with me to repay everyone...

You can’t overcome the fact that in Acts 10, those Peter preached to, started speaking in tongues then Peter said, can anyone forbid water, for those who HAVE RECEIVED TGE HOLY SPIRIT, as did we? God doesn’t give the Holy Spirit to the unsaved - thus they were saved by faith, as they heard the...

All of Acts and all scripture pertains, the New Testament isn’t time stamped. BTW there were no chapter divisions when the Bible was written. 2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Pop quiz: who created the world in Genesis 1? Answer: God Who created the world in John 1? Answer: Jesus: Verse 1: He’s the word who was WITH God and WAS God Verse 3: the word made all things. Verse 10: He came into the world that He had made. Verse 14: the Word was made flesh and dwelt...

For those who claim miracles, and spiritual gifts have ended, be aware that the Bible warns to stay away from last days churches that have a form of godliness, but deny the POWER (Dunamis) thereof.

Except scripture reveals all things pertaining to righteousness, we don’t have to guess in that area.

Since getting drunk is a sin, getting high has to be one, also.

On the other hand, Peter and Paul said new believers need the milk of the word as newborns do, and need to progress to the meat of the word. That certainly implies needing to grow in the word. 1Pe 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: Heb 5:12...

Then what’s the problem? I said water baptism has a purpose, it’s the outward sign of washing that can be seen, of the inward washing and regeneration done by the Holy Spirit.

There are others like church of Christ and SDA, that claim water baptism is for salvation, though.

What’s wrong is ignoring all the scriptures that say repentance is how sins are forgiven, and that there are believers in Acts 10 that received the Holy Spirit before water baptism, so were clearly saved and then baptized. That’s what’s wrong with that picture. Plus John said Jesus would...

You have to consider all scriptures on a topic, not just the ones that fit your dogma. Had you been paying close attention, I was responding to the acts 2:38 proof text, that says REPENT and be baptized for remission of sins, by showing scriptures that make clear that repentance is what remits...
