Here also are verses that also shows Christ is a part of the Godhood or Trinity, showing He is also a distinct person. 1 Corinthians 15 20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the...

Some verses showing Christ has the same glory as of the Father The Eternal Word, Christ is the WORD of GOD become flesh John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the...

Except that verse John 17:3 does not contradict with Christ also being God. John 20:27-29 New King James Version 27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.” 28 And Thomas...

John 11 here tells us the whole purpose of Christ's dying is to gather together the children of God scattered abroad by the blood of the New Covenant. Blood means the death of Christ. And the blood shed was only for the children of God both in the nation of Israel, and those scattered abroad...

Of course, lieth in, lies in, is used in most other versions. Regarding the NKJV, the concepts are not lost on me, version to version, the message is pretty consistent. AMP We know [for a fact] that we are of God, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God...

People today do not believe what the scripture says, it is plain to see that. They don't view scriptures as authoritative for faith and practice. It makes me think of after God delivered the people the promised land, they continually fell away, people even chose to make themselves priests...

If faith is a gift, then it is not forced against the natural man. Faith is gifted to the spiritual man, not the old man of the flesh. God does not twist the arm of just anyone, but God uses GOADS. Christ did tell Paul this, which implies Paul had been resisting the truth and hurting himself...

I am still a work in progress, and one thing I have learned is how nicely the scriptures all make sense once you actually believe what they are saying, versus the doctrines of a man and the various inaccurate teachings many have perpetuated in churches, which do not agree with scripture. I...

"He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world." Speaking of the 'whole world', do you know what propitiation means? Definition Propitiation means “averting the wrath of God by the offering of a gift.” It refers to the turning away of the...

All those verses are a distortion unless in context. Everyone who believes, everyone in the church, all Christians, the elect of all the nations. Acts 13:39 and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses. Acts 20:31...

Now if you need further proof that the sheep, believers are the true house of Israel, Abraham's seed and heirs according to God's promise made to Abraham, look at Galatians 3 and Galatians 4 26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into...

Jesus specifically tells us He dies for the sheep. The whole point of Christ dying is so that the sheep will have eternal life, not the world of people God knows will never believe, so even in a broader POV, Christ dies dies for the believers only. Note John 3:16 Now Peter makes mention of...

Agree, not a contradiction at all. The first example is individual predestination, scriptural and also Martin Luthor held the same view. The second example is by faith all people from wherever they live are reconciled to God, that includes people from all nations. God holds people responsible...

And that is the reality of what really happens. the vast majority of people that have been born are not Christians. Only Christians go to heaven. All Muslims are in hell fire, all Buddhists, nihilists, animists, and any other religion are all in hell or going there unless they repent of their...

Yes, Jesus spoke of 'other sheep I have', they had not yet heard His voice, but they will be joined together with the other believers as one flock and Him as their only shepherd. When the sheep hear Him, they follow Christ, and will flee from a stranger's voice. John 10:16 I have other sheep...

Point is if you believe in Christ, and persevere to the end in faith, they you are saved and the reality is you are elect. Hebrews 3 4 For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God. 5 And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of...

Jesus does tell us who He dies for, so what you and many others are doing is adding on to His words. John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. John 10:15 As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. Christ...

True, God does not force anyone to believe in Christ, God gives to them a new heart and a new spirit on the inside, then He teaches them about Christ and then they receive Christ. It is like the old man has enmity with God, that means they view Christ as an enemy and they dont want anything to...

And then this too, Jesus tells us again here why some do not believe in Him, truth is the unbelieving will not and can not receive the things of God without being born of God, then they receive Him as Lord cause they can be taught by the Spirit. Otherwise they are naturally resistant...

Here Paul teaches the difference between the unsaved and the saved, and the reasons for each. The ones saved, God chose from the beginning of time, then Paul describes how God saves them The unsaved, God actually sends to them strong delusions to believe the LIE, as of course the unsaved enjoy...
