You bet. Rituals are foolishness, just as are New Moons, Festivals, Food and Drink. If rituals meant anything at all, Freedom in Christ would be impossible. Colossians 2:16-17 CSB - "Therefore, don't let anyone judge you in regard to food and drink or in the matter of a festival or a new moon...

I've always thought that our being Clay in the Potter's Hands is all about Christ removing the Defect of the Sinful Nature. Jeremiah 18:4 NIV - "But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him." And...

Are you sure? Jesus said that He is reflective of Jonah being in the Fish for three days, and that Fish represents the Grave, at least to Jesus (at least to Jesus??? Yikes). Jonah was resurrected just as much as was Jesus when Jonah was spewed from the fish and onto dry land. Now, to counter my...

What an outstanding question! One answer is clear and simple . . . what Church actually understands the Holy Word of God? I've yet to find one as of today, and I've been a "Christian" for nearly 40 years. The Bible has a purpose, and it is to show how Jesus deals with the debilitating Curse of...

Great question! I would say that we will be enabled to Obey God the Father through the Laws of the Spirit of Life. These Laws are Spiritual, while the Laws of Moses are worldly and regulatory . . . and possesses no Power whatsoever. But the Laws of Life equate to what it is to share in the...

Baptism by Fire, as the entire Bible seems to clearly indicate, would be all-inclusive to the Holy Work of Christ. More on that in a second. When fire refines metals, what is left is pure and the "dross," or, rubbish - that which is worthless is burned out. Isaiah 1:24-31 NIV - "Therefore the...

Have you ever wondered why the the eunuch suggested that he be baptized when he saw water, and not Philip? If Salvation depended upon worldly water, why wouldn't Philip urgently suggest what the eunuch had apparently just learned? I always thought that was a little funny, that is, if water...

Hi there! The removal of the Curse of Adam and Eve, as described in Romans 5 . . . are you able to work the lifting of this Curse into your writings? Colossians 2:9-15 gives us remarkable insight as to the Holy Work of Jesus Christ. Check it out! Colossians 2:11-15 NIV - "In him you were also...

As I read the Word of God, I see that God gives Himself all the room He desires for Grace, Mercy and Compassion . . . especially in the Old Testament. And what is this Grace, Mercy, and Compassion? It is the Circumcision of Christ as described in Colossians 2:9-15. And David, the Father of...

Nope. I believe that when Jesus Circumcises our Heart of the Sinful Nature, we then share in the Divine Nature of Christ. This Divine Nature is also known as the Laws of the Spirit of Life, and it is the Power of these Laws that Enable a person to no longer sin as they would if they were still...

Ahhh . . . but what if the Law has been removed by Christ? Can we sin against a Law if there is no Law to break? For example, can we break the speed limit if there is no speed limit to break? Romans 4:15 KJV - "Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, [there is] no transgression."...

Your response is so awesome! I'm so glad that I am here. :)

This is an interesting idea, for John the B was indwelt by the Spirit from within his mother's womb, Elizabeth. And how about king David, who was being taught, by the Spirit, even from within the "secret place?" Psalm 51:6 NIV - "Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me...

Hey Ziggy! Have you ever wondered if John the B had a different kind of baptism? Perhaps one similar to Christ, where Jesus lifts the Sin Nature as described in Colossians 2:9-15? Check out these crazy verses about John's Baptism . . . it's wild stuff! Luke 7:29-30 NLT - "When they heard this...

Ha! I like that. I often suggest that a person can be baptized into Christ even if that person were on the frozen side of Mt Everest, where sufficient water cannot be produce for baptism. And like you said, I also believe that even if we're in the desert where the is no water, we can still be...

Thank you, theefaith, for taking the time to share your thoughts and ideas, not just with me, but with all. I'm hoping that in the future you will be able to give me even more insight to what Catholics believe. I love to listen to the thoughts, ideas and beliefs of others . . . being open to...

Absolutely, you may ask! Technically, I am a Christian, but I don't believe what others believe. I have scoured the Bible thought by though and even Word by Holy Word, and for whatever reason, I report a different Gospel that what anyone else has seemed to find and report. Ugggg . . . it has...

I appreciate that hug . . . we all need them these days! Looking forward learning with you. :D

Absolutely. For, who can change the Plans of God? Not even me, thus, His Will . . . will prevail. Cheers, my friend.

Thank you, Rita. That's a nice, Black cat you've got there! I have two myself. :D
