    Why the cross actually saves

    For that to be true, God the Son would have to not be God; for God cannot be tempted with evil. God is clearly one Lord (Mark 12:29 (kjv), Ephesians 4:5). The Father is that Lord (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21). But no one can say that Jesus is that Lord except by the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians...

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    It can be understood however (for I believe that I understand it), if one can seek the understanding that would come from the Holy Ghost.

    Why the cross actually saves

    Or, 4) Jesus was tempted in His humanity but not in His Deity.

    When did the church start?

    The law was changed...and yet not one jot or tittle has passed from it (Matthew 5:17-20). It no longer condemns us as being written on tables of stone; now it governs us as being written on fleshy tables of human hearts (2 Corinthians 3). The spiritual mind is subject to the law of God (Romans...

    Why the cross actually saves

    God is a Person and He is one Lord (Ephesians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6). The Father is that Lord (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21). No one can say that Jesus is that Lord except by the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 12:3). There is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4 (kjv), Mark 12:29 (kjv)); and I would say that...

    Why the cross actually saves

    God is clearly one Person/Lord, although He is distinctly three also.

    God Offers All the Free Gift of Salvation!

    Post #75 or #72? It remains unclear to me what you are trying to say. Perhaps you could reiterate?

    Why the cross actually saves

    To @amadeus; It should be clear that the Holy Ghost is distinct from the Father in that He has lived a human life and then was released back to the Father; while both continue to be the one eternal Spirit. The Holy Ghost has the added perspective of having been human; and therefore He is able...

    Why the cross actually saves

    Jesus said, he who has seen me has seen the Father. The reality is that God descended and took on a nature of human flesh; but that God Himself is a Spirit. No one has seen His form or shape at any time. But the human body that God added to Himself is visible; and if anyone looks at this...

    Why the cross actually saves

    I believe that we ought to continue to seek and be open to more knowledge from the Lord's hand: Mat 7:13, Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Mat 7:14, Because strait is the gate, and...

    Why the cross actually saves

    And even further: 1Co 8:1, Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 1Co 8:2, And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 1Co 8:3, But if any man love God, the same...

    Why the cross actually saves

    Jesus was tempted in His humanity...if he had succumbed, He would not have been able to die on the Cross to pay the penalty for our sins; but in His Deity His integrity would have remained intact and He would have remained the unchangeable God. It would only be His human sinlessness that would...

    Why the cross actually saves

    On the other hand, the scripture declares: Hos 4:6, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

    Why the cross actually saves

    These are not in contradiction to each other. Is it such a hard thing to grasp that we must repent towards and also place our faith in the Cross? You again show forth your faulty opinion that faith and works are one and the same thing. Faith and works are mutually exclusive when it comes to...

    When did the church start?

    The Holy Spirit was given to the general church population on the day of Pentecost, thus forming the body of Christ; which I would identify as those who are indwelt by Him/ His Holy Spirit. On another issue in this thread I find the following scripture quite interesting: Gal 2:7, But...
