Isa 3:12, As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. Here the LORD speaks of it as being a negative thing that women are ruling over the people. In the beginning the Lord...

I make my letters larger for the sake of emphasis. Accuse me all you want of misrepresenting Christ in doing so; I know that I am making the main point easier to find in the way that I normally post what I post. I suppose that I could emphasize things in a different way; such as by putting...

Those who are born again of the Holy Spirit do not retain a guilty conscience: Heb 10:1, For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. Heb...

Repentance is indeed necessary for salvation. Consider the words of John the Baptist: Mat 3:8, Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: Mat 3:9, And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up...

Yes, the blood is applied when the water is applied.

Eph 3:3, How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Eph 3:4, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Eph 3:5, Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy...

2 Timothy 3:16 would be the refutation of that. The epistles of James, Peter, Jude, and John, as well as the gospels, Acts, Hebrews, and Revelation, are profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. Not to mention the Old Testament; which contains...

I think that it does: Heb 10:22, Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 1Ti 1:5, Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of...

Jesus is the King of kings and the Lord of lords; and we are all His subjects. I believe that Galatians 3:27 tells me (if not you) differently. By excluding water baptism from the definition of baptism in scripture and limiting it to Holy Spirit baptism, you are playing a hermeneutical game...

Whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ (Messiah) is born of God (saved).

We are to be good stewards of what the Lord has given us. If we do not take care of our environment, there will be no millenial kingdom as most of us would imagine it. See Revelation 11:18, the latter part of the verse. We need to strike a proper balance when studying the holy scriptures.

Of course, Christ's function as Messiah was to go to the Cross for us; we must consider faithfully that Isaiah 53 is Messianic scripture.

It is important that we believe that Jesus is the Messiah... 1Jo 5:1, Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

I suppose that He is able to cleanse us from all our filthiness and from all our idols simply by hitting us with a drop of rain. But I tend to think that Ezekiel 36:25-27 is testimony of baptismal regeneration via sprinkling baptism (rantizo).

comprehensible...with some effort.

A person is being sprinkled by God (by proxy) if they are sprinkled by someone who is filled with the Holy Ghost. There is also a unity between the water and the blood (1 John 5:8).

The document in the following thread is my response ti Galatians 5:4... Wet Paint Principle (Freedom) The verse in question is to be compared to 1 John 3:9; emphasis on the word "cannot".

If Elijah were merely moved to another part of the earth, please explain to me why they looked for him and didn't find him. And why he didn't show up later in scripture as a force to be reckoned with for God.

It is not a symbolic interpretation. The interpretation is clearly literal. This would indicate a literal, physical mark on the right hand or forehead of those who worship the beast and his image.
