No; because He is also talking to the goats...and the sheep, Jesus' brethren, are not "your brethren" to the goats to whom He is speaking. To be consistent, Jesus uses the same terminology when He talks to the sheep.

So, I guess that because I am one of the least of these His brethren, I am exempt from the responsibility to help the least of these His brethren; I can fail in my responsibility to do so and still enter in to the kingdom. Also, I will not stand anywhere in judgment when Christ judges the...

Actually, Messiah was prophesied in Deuteronomy 18:15-19 as well as in Genesis 3:15. And, a case can also be made that the doctrine of the Messiah was revealed to Old Testament saints through the Spirit of Christ who dwelt within them (1 Peter 1:11).

Sorry, the Cross didn't nullify the words of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now we know that 1 John 1:9 is a good verse to fall back on any time that you might mess up; and that confessing your sins to God is the same thing as being transparent or walking in the light; and that we have koinoneia fellowship with the Lord when we walk in the light as He is in the light...

I would only refer you to Psalms 119:165 (kjv) and Matthew 11:6 (kjv). In that I called what you may have been preaching heresy. Obviously, if what you are preaching is heresy and I say as much, there is a sense in which I am labeling you a heretic. Not intentionally, mind you; for from my...

Salvation has never been available through the law...see Romans 3:20, Galatians 2:16. Correct; for it is written, Gal 3:10, For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of...

Or, maybe the Lord has spoken through them.

There are people on here saying that there are three groups in the parable in Matthew 25... the sheep, the goats, and the least of these His brethren. I would contend that the least of these His brethren are also sheep rather than goats. No; for a man can be one of the least of these His...

I think that God has given certain people spiritual gifts, such as word of wisdom and prophecy; and that people with such gifts can say things that are authoritative even if they do not come directly from holy scripture.

Not my own ends...but for the end that the gospel may be more succinctly proclaimed.

Lol...it is only obvious that Jesus' brethren are sheep and that those who help them are also sheep according to the parable.

John identifies himself as "the disciple whom Jesus loved." And I have also heard it said that if you were the only one who had ever lived, Christ would have still gone to the Cross to redeem your soul.

The Father is an eternal Spirit inhabiting eternity; how can He be pierced except inasmuch as He has taken on an added nature of human flesh?

Is Bill Gates the Lord of the Universe? I don't think that we will be prohibited from eating meat any time soon.

Maybe you should ask the Lord what are the answers to these questions; For they do not present an obstacle to faith as concerning the things that I believe in.

Mankind is enabled to receive Christ when he is drawn by Him. And that is not the same thing as being born again. A man is born again when he repents and receives Christ and not before (John 1:12).

Not only a semantical argument; but there is definite meaning to the difference between the idea that Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are distinct and the idea that they are separate. I would suggest that you take a look at my thread on the Trinity. True Trinity. (specifically posts #1-#6).

Because the Holy Spirit enables him to do so. I am contending for the fact that we are born again as the result of repenting and believing in and receiving Christ. This should go without saying; but somewhere along the line a false doctrine came in that disputes this doctrine of absolute truth.
