    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Did Jesus claim to be God? MOST CERTAINLY!! Jesus made many direct and indirect stunning claims that He is God, in which some have already been written in this thread. My two cents worth.... Isaiah 42:8 reads: I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither...

    What Old Covenant Laws are the New Covenant believer to obey?

    What about the Ten Commandments written by the finger of God on two tablets of stone, are they still supposed to be obeyed, today? Seeing that you claim the Old Covenant is done away with??

    Understanding and Believing the Gospel

    I beg to differ. Man is spiritually dead and therefore has no power to choose for Christ. Man in his audacity would like to have a part in his salvation. Consider what Scripture declares. "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit...

    REST for God's People!

    I'm very familiar with "types" and "shadows." In fact, I base my Bible studies mostly spiritually (Mark 4:33-34; 11-13). 11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all [these] things are done in parables: 12 That...

    REST for God's People!

    Define specifically what the term "rest in Jesus" mean? Or, rest from what?

    REST for God's People!

    Can you specifically tell what is the "REST" that the Lord made available to those walking in faith who abide in Christ? Thank you.

    Understanding and Believing the Gospel

    Any time a person brings up the same Scripture, in this case, Hebrews 2.9. but does not look anywhere else in the Bible, don't we call that "cherry-picking?" What about Matthew 1:21. Is that Scripture also? Which reads: And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he...

    A Challenge

    I probably have but didn't who they were. According to your question above, you don't seem to know that a Christian's salvation is a two-part program. or that his salvation was completed when the Father named and elected him in eternity past before the foundation of the world (John 6:44).

    A Challenge

    This does not affect a saved person!! This also must be read in light of John 1:12-13 which reads: 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of...

    The gospel was preached even to those who are DEAD

    @Chadrho. I know not. Who is he?? But, I'm sure you've heard of Origen and Eusebius. Both say that it is Jesus who must be restored back to His original being (as God) since He took upon Himself the form of a man when He came to earth (Luke 24:45). You should have continued reading to Acts 3:23...

    The gospel was preached even to those who are DEAD

    And, John 10:27-29 which reads: 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than all; and no [man] is able...

    Is it possible not to sin anymore?

    Is it possible not to sin anymore? In this lifetime, NO!! Can anyone reconcile the OP with Romans 3:9-12 which reads: 09 What then? are we better [than they]? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; 10 As it is written, There is none...

    A Challenge

    Those who are NOT proponents of OSAS says it is NOT BIBLICAL "The wages of sin (singular) is death." How many sins did Jesus redeem when He died on the cross, seeing that the wages of sin is death? All of our sins!! If all, what sin can we commit that will put us in hell? N-O-N-E!! N-A-D-A...

    A Challenge

    IN SHORT.... 1) The Father named all those He wanted saved in eternity past, before the foundation of the world. 2) The Father sent His Son (who is God) to be the ultimate sacrifice for sins, because it was man who sinned, and will take a God-man to redeem the sins of the Father's people...

    The gospel was preached even to those who are DEAD

    MANY PEOPLE HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE NATURE OF SALVATION!! They believe all one has to do is accept the Lord Jesus, not knowing that they have no power to do so (John15:16), because they are spiritually dead. and that salvation is of God alone. Secondly, one has to belong to Jesus...

    Understanding 1 Peter 3:19

    Everyone is so busy giving their two cents worth that you completely forgot the most relevant verse. I would like for you folks to discuss which truly went to heaven after death, the body, soul, or the spirit? 2 Corinthians 5:8 reads: "We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent...

    The gospel was preached even to those who are DEAD

    You are calling God a liar, then!! I'm sorry if you find my words to sound too harsh. A child of God should be able to teach and also be able to be taugh.t Don't squander your time too long, as today is still the day of salvation. We don't have a guarantee how long we have on this earth. It's...

    The gospel was preached even to those who are DEAD

    The Bible is God's message to mankind. Therefore, there are no contradictions in Scripture, only apparent ones however, God also said that He will bring strong delusions and the unrighteous will believe a lie. I feel so sad for you to think that God can lie because He said: "Many are called but...
