The term "redeem" (i.e. redemption) is used in Titus 2:14, btw... Tit 2:14, Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

The fact that Jesus convinced Paul that there is nothing unclean of itself (Romans 14:14) does not make Him another elohim. YHWH told Noah that every living thing that moved was there for him to eat. The term "insects" can be seen to be an enumeration of animals that would be considered...

Lam 3:37, Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? Lam 3:38, Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?

Not buying it. Jos 24:15, And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve...

The venue by which we reach obedience in the NT is not by attempting to obey a set of do's and don'ts; rather it is through obeying the leadings and promptings of the Holy Ghost; and bearing His fruit in our lives. For there is no law against the fruit of the Spirit. We don't obey the law...

"Thou shalt not covet" brings "Thou shalt not steal" down home to the heart. If you do this with every one of the commandments (i.e. "thou shalt not kill" "thou shalt not bear false witness", etc.) then you have what the LORD originally intended for the Israelites to understand. For He said in...

No; The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against such there is no law. (Galatiasns 5:22-23). The venue by which one reaches obedience is different in the New Testament than in the Old. Rom 9:30, What shall we say then...

Redemption of the body, is something that in Romans 8:23-25 is still hoped for and unseen. So then, you have not been purchased in your body. But I have shown scriptures that show how the redemption of the body means that there is sanctifying to the purifying of the flesh, even sanctification...

No; you are trying to discourage people from following the link. And that is very unhelpful. You did a similar thing in this thread: True Trinity.

Not necessarily the case. See 1 John 2:20, 1 John 2:27, 1 John 4:4-6. If someone actually believes that the Lord has spoken these scriptures to them, it doesn't necessarily make them the worst exegete in the room. If the Lord is the One who actually spoke those verses to them, then they know...

I believe that it will work. My writing out of the thoughts in question can be found behind the link. The link goes to the meat of the conversation in a different thread. I've already had a few bites; don't tell me that my bait isn't any good when I have evidence to the contrary.

Hi @BARNEY BRIGHT; You should look into the prophecies that the Watchtower has set forth; because it is a known fact that they have prophesied falsely on many occasions. I once even bought a book that contained a list of all of the prophecies given by the Watchtower society and how they did...

What is a shame is that you aren't taking the holy scriptures at face value. I tell you truly that it may even be to your ultimate damnation.

Harden your heart if you wish; but the Holy Ghost is trying to tell you something: trying to bring you to a place of holiness in your walk. If you refuse, you will not be among those whom Christ is returning for (see Ephesians 5:27); and will be left behind at the rapture.

There is no flaw in the English text. You're right, he didn't. And therefore 1 John 1:8 is referring to indwelling sin rather than practical sin. Because 1 John 3:4-9 shows clearly that 1 John 1:8 cannot be referring to practical sin. Sin dwells in our mortal flesh; but it can be put to...

That's a crying shame.

@BARNEY BRIGHT, this is what the Lord says to me: 1Jo 2:20, But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 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...

So you are in denial of 1 John 3:9 is what you are saying.

Concerning Romans 8:24-25; compare to Hebrews 11:1. We can have the substance of and the evidence of what is hoped for and not seen; to wit, the adoption, the redemption of the body.

Open your eyes and read the scriptures that I am presenting; spend time seeking to understand them and how they relate to each other. 1 Corinthians 2:13 gives us a biblical hermeneutic that tells us how the Holy Spirit teaches. 1Co 2:13, Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's...
