    The 144,000 before God at the end.

    Christians are sealed with the Holy Spirit the moment we are born again; the moment we believe we have eternal life and shall never die. Our body will die, but we will still be alive through Christ's Spirit in us. The 144,000 of all the tribes of the children of Israel are the remnant of Old...

    Jesus's "siblings".

    Since Joseph did not have sexual intercourse with Mary before Christ was born, proving a virgin gave birth, how do you prove it does not also mean after Jesus's birth he did? You have no biblical authority to back up your assumption for perpetual virginity of Mary. Your OPINIONS UNPROVEN don't...

    Jesus's "siblings".

    Mt 1:25 - Matthew 1:25 (KJVSL) And καί knew γινώσκω her αὐτός not οὐ [till ἕως οὗ] she had brought forth τίκτω her αὐτός firstborn πρωτότοκος son υἱός: and καί he called καλέω his αὐτός name ὄνομα JESUS Ἰησοῦς. Strong's Greek Dictionary 2193. ἕως heos (héōs) Search for G2193 in KJVSL; in...

    Jesus's "siblings".

    I have no intention of rehashing your opinions. The topic I raised is in regards to the marital relationship between a husband and wife after the birth of Christ. Can you disprove from the Word of God that the marriage between Joseph and Mary was without sexual relationship after the birth of...

    Jesus's "siblings".

    Your so-called refutation above doesn't refute anything I said. It is only your OPINION without biblical prooftexts. While I agree with the opinion that the statement dispels any belief that Joseph was the father, that does not prove that J&M did not have a normal marital relationship after...

    Jesus's "siblings".

    After the birth of Jesus it would be foolish to suggest there was no conjugal relationship between Joseph and Mary. And even though "firstborn" is not found is some manuscripts, the fact remains, this passage from Scripture indicates a normal marital relationship commenced between J&M after the...

    Jesus's "siblings".

    The question whether Mary remained a virgin her whole life appears to be answered here: Matthew 1:24-25 (KJV) Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he...

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    Yes, God often sent His Spirit to chosen people for a specific purpose. That was the reason Christ breathed His Spirit upon them before He departed. But the Spirit Christ gave them then was not enough, because He instructs them to remain in Jerusalem until they should be endued with power from...

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    Yes, the signs Jesus performed verified He was who He claimed to be, the Son of God who is The Messiah the prophets foretell would come. None of the Old Covenant saints could be born again through the Holy Spirit in them until Christ went to the cross and resurrected from the dead. The Holy...

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    In a word Hepzibah...OBEDIENCE to His Word. Be not hearers only, but doers of His Word. He tells us to "work out" (not work for) our salvation, for it is God working in us to will and to do of His good pleasure. Philippians 2:12-13 (KJV) Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not...

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    Does not Scripture show us we are saved from sins penalty, which is bondage to death? All mankind, even when the Holy Spirit is in us still on occasion choose to sin. We shall not be free from sins until we are no longer clothed in bodies destined to death and corruption. Christ came to set...

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    Anointing by the Holy Spirit is to be baptized into the life, death and resurrection of Christ when His Spirit is in us. It is through His anointing that we continue to abide in Christ. 1 John 2:27 (KJV) But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that...

    Will Trump seek asylum in Israel and Build the 3rd Temple?

    Our spirit with life after physical death is a "living soul" without a mortal body that became a corpse in physical death. There are examples in Scripture for saints being alive in heaven after physical death. One is found in Rev 20 where John writes of "souls" alive after having been faithful...

    Will Trump seek asylum in Israel and Build the 3rd Temple?

    Immortality is physical because our body, not our spirit, is mortal and corruptible, destined to die. Our spirit through the Spirit of Christ in us is not mortal and corruptible when in Christ. Because our spirit has been 'quickened' or made alive eternally through the Spirit of Christ that...

    Will Trump seek asylum in Israel and Build the 3rd Temple?

    I've NEVER said "we already have immortal spiritual life"! When we are in Christ we have ETERNAL spirit that shall never die. Our spirit, alive eternally through the Spirit of Christ in us, shall return with Christ to give immortal/incorruptible life to our resurrected physical body so we...

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    I don't see Scripture showing the need for "two different works of the HS in our salvation". Hebrews 7:25 (KJV) Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    Yes, the cross made atonement for our sins! His resurrection proves He has power over death, that whosoever believes in Him shall never die. Because when we are in Christ neither our sins nor our physical death can prevent us from being in the spiritual Kingdom of God.

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    John 3:6-15 (KJV) That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth...

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    It's the baptism that comes only by Christ and is supernatural power of God. Luke 3:16 (KJV) John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy...

    John 3 Jesus discussion with Nicodemus

    Our spirit is dead in trespasses and sins! Being sold out in trespasses and sins means we have no ability to respond to Christ for salvation. Our natural/fleshly/sinful spirit must be 'quickened' or taken from being sold out to trespasses and sins, to being 'made alive' in Christ. This is to...
