    How could the Messiah be sinless?

    The concepts are there. incarnation: John 1:14, 1 Timothy 3:16 (kjv). likely, not an exhaustive list. pre-existence of Jesus: compare the fact that in Luke. 1-2, John the Baptist was both conceived and born six months before Jesus was conceived and born; while John the Baptist testifies in...

    How could the Messiah be sinless?

    That is an unfounded accusation. Obviously the people who would be obeying John's exhortation in 1 John 4:1-3 would not be ceasing from trusting in Jesus. The Lord exhorts us, through John, under inspiration of the Holy Ghost, to test the spirits as to whether they are from God. Bottom line...

    How could the Messiah be sinless?

    Can you find the word "Bible" in the Bible?

    How could the Messiah be sinless?

    Of course; He pre-existed the incarnation.

    Jesus is God in the Flesh!!

    There is one Lord in holy scripture (Ephesians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6). And this Lord is clearly the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21). However, no one can say that Jesus is the Lord except by the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 12:3); even the Spirit of truth. And Jesus is the Lord (1 Corinthians...

    How could the Messiah be sinless?

    However, Jesus is the Creator of all things....something that you denied but which the Bible teaches.

    Romans 6:10—“Unto Sin”

    I believe that His soul and spirit were separated from His body, and that in this He died.

    Jesus is God in the Flesh!!

    That Jesus was in the form (morphe) of God, Zodhiates, the expert on Greek who wrote a Lexicon, said that if someone is in the morphe of something then they are that something. So, Jesus, being in the form (morphe) of God, was and is God (see also Psalms 90:2...for it is the nature of God that...

    Romans 6:10—“Unto Sin”

    I would only mention that it was not only His body that was inundated by sin...but also His soul (Isaiah 53:10).

    How to recognize a real Teacher.....Pt 1

    Sorry, I had forgotten that you were a sister. I don't want you to get the wrong idea. I am married, after all.

    How to recognize a real Teacher.....Pt 1

    The fruit of a teacher can include their disciples. But I think that, primarily, the fruit of a teacher is how they carry themselves. Do they walk in the flesh or do they bear the fruit of the Spirit? The fruit of a teacher is primarily what we find in Galatians 5:19-23; but is not limited to...

    Your opinion, here, is worth a ton of gold!

    Becoming a perfect Disciple of Christ

    Of course, if you have genuine faith, works will follow as the fruit of faith (Titus 3:14).

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    1Jo 2:27, But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 1Jo 2:28, And now, little children, abide in...

    How could the Messiah be sinless?

    I have received Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. As His minister, I am called to preach His word (2 Timothy 4:2). That is the bottom line. So you are not going to discourage me from ministering His word to people. People respect the Bible as being the word of God; and all of it is profitable...

    Becoming a perfect Disciple of Christ

    The entire epistle of Paul to the Galatians is all about the gospel that Paul preached....salvation that had nothing to do with outward righteousness but which was through faith on the inside of a man. See Galatians 2:16, for example. Paul preached that salvation could not be achieved through...

    Becoming a perfect Disciple of Christ

    Consider: Rom 4:5, But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Rom 4:6, Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Eph 2:8, For by grace are ye saved...

    Becoming a perfect Disciple of Christ

    Isaiah 64:6 refers to all who seek to be righteous through their keeping of the law / works / obedience / performance. Because apart from Christ, they do so in their own strength; and in this they do not have the righteousness which is of God by faith (Philippians 3:9); which alone can be...

    Becoming a perfect Disciple of Christ

    Your interpretation is clueless.

    Becoming a perfect Disciple of Christ

    Abraham's work may have justified him before God....however you should also realize that Abraham was justified by his faith alone all the way back in Genesis 15:6...it is written that God counted his faith to him at that time as righteousness. Perhaps, so that Abraham (and others. for God...
