It can also be an unknown language according to 1 Corinthians 14:2. The church is defined as the body of Christ in Colossians 1:18. And the word of the Lord is also timeless. Yes, those who believe in Christ are those who consist His body. Also to seal the believer unto the day of...

Ephesians 3:6 tells us that Gentiles also can partake of the gospel and its benefits. "all" can be defined as "many" and "many" can be defined as "all" If I pick 1000 out of 1000 people to do something for me, it can be said that I picked many. It can also be said that I picked all of them...

It teaches that Jesus is God, to put it simply. And this is also an essential for salvation, John 8:24. See also John 8:58, John 8:59 with John 10:31-33 with these compared to Exodus 3:14. The Pharisees picked up stones to stone Jesus because He claimed to be God.

Yes; and He is the same Spirit as Him who inhabiteth eternity. 1 x 1 x 1 = 1. All three members of the Godhead are one and the same Spirit/Person. Jesus released the Holy Ghost, who is the Father, John 4:23-24, John 14:7-11, back to the original Father in Luke 23:46. Because He who...

Hi @101G, Do you agree or disagree that Jesus Christ is come in human flesh? God is a Spirit, correct? Is Jesus God in your opinion? I believe that He is come in the flesh (1 John 4:1-3, 2 John 1:7).. Same Spirit that inhabiteth eternity (Isaiah 57:15)

Fact is, some people who come on Christian forums are not really Christians. And Jesus promised us that if we are His we will be persecuted by such. Of course it is a sin to persecute other people; but I would say also that it must be par for the course on any forum where some are truly...

I thank you for that.

I have no struggle with my understanding of the Trinity; I feel that I understand it rather perfectly. The distinction between the Father and the Son is in that the Father inhabits eternity (Isaiah 57:15) and the Son dwells in human flesh. The distinction between the Son and the Spirit is in...

I'm not going to derail the thread by arguing over the doctrine of entire sanctification here.

I don't think that I said that I thought that I was being persecuted. But if you are saying that you think that I have a persecution complex; I might consider that to be persecution since I could end up being imprisoned in a mental hospital if that were to be taken seriously. No; what I was...

Do you not believe that Jesus is God and that He created us? Consider John 1:1-3, John 1:14. Yes, there is one Lord (Ephesians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6); and He is the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21). However, no one can say that Jesus is the Lord except by the Spirit of truth (1 Corinthians...

Not everyone for righteousness' sake however.

He can make a rock as the Father that He can't physically lift as the Son (in His humanity). God is able to make the crooked things straight (Luke 3:5). And his blood does indeed have the power to cleanse us from all sin (1 John 1:7). Jesus is coming back for a glorious church, not having...

And actually, Paul is speaking to Christians at Rome who were both Jewish and Gentile. And even if he was merely speaking to Jewish converts, his statements would have corrected their reliance on their own works to save them. We are saved only by faith in Jesus and His finished work. The...

1Co 4:12, And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: 1Co 4:13, Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

I happen to be a scripture human...and no, not everyone knows scripture well enough to be able to quote it properly at opportune times. Case in point: Pro 25:11, A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. We are not saved by works; we are saved unto good works: and...

My apologies, @aspen. It appeared that you were jumping on the bandwagon to defend Mormonism for a brief moment there. If anything you have salvation by works in common.

1Ti 4:16, Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

Eph 4:29, Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. Col 3:8, But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

However, according to your own religion ye are saved by grace after all that ye can do. And faith must be according to the truth. If your religion is correct then you have failed to do all that ye can do and therefore you cannot be a recipient of grace. If mine is correct then the fact that...
