You're forgetting that Abraham having faith and having received the risen Christ in a figure (Isaac) became the father of those of all nations who likewise have faith and receive Christ ..........he is not the father of those who don't. We mustn't take a parable to be teaching more than the...

Oh dear. Please. You're making a hash of things. That is not what the bible says about outer darkness, not even a hint of that. And in the first place simply believing and understanding what God says about our own and anyone's righteousness does not mean one is persecuting the righteous...

What is most important is the lesson being taught, not the language in which it is couched. Jesus wasn't propagating mythology, but I see no reason why He couldn't have just been speaking to the hypocritical Pharisees in language they understood, in turning the table on them so to speak. (And...

Makes sense to me. Jesus was conveying a lesson to them in their own language so to speak.

Not to be taken too literally since it's not a literal wedding.........but I think it is a lesson against thinking we can go to the wedding in our own right without being clothed with Christ, otherwise be found naked. Having our feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, which seems...

I would say Jesus lived by faith more than anyone. And He had to overcome His flesh, like we also do. He set aside His deity so to speak and set an example that we should follow. Here's a little example from my own life that comes to mind......when Covid first broke out, the Lord spoke to me...

Yes, and Jesus was speaking by faith, true? It's not quite the same thing as carnal certainty. I did my best to explain in my answer to Marks a minute ago.

Faith is confident but that is not the same thing as a carnal logical certainty. Jesus had to battle with Himself in order to be able to consent to His crucifixion and lay down His life. Faith often requires us to put our natural mind and inclinations under our feet. But this is not something...

i This is just my belief, and open for discussion, and I said that I believe He went to the cross by faith, not by a certainty of the carnal mind. He knew and believed the written prophecies about Him, and what He was essentially prophesying about Himself, but there is a difference between...

I'm not sure that all parables can be proven per se......we walk by faith not by sight. And His sheep know His voice, or learn to know it as we grow. But any true interpretation will be consistent with all scripture, the whole counsel of God. And of course there is this: 1Co 2:10-14 But...

Unfortunately this man so often doesn't respond to scriptures that people bring. If he is proven wrong on something with scripture, out come the claws and daggers....which also serves to distract and deflect from the fact that he was shown to be wrong. I see and experience no real love and...

1Co 13:1-2 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and...

These are the scriptures I was thinking of. Who are the filthy? Simply fallen unredeemed man from what I could find (and of course it would include those who have fallen away). Job 15:14-16 What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous...

A parable itself is its own prooftext I think but we need to be able to "see" it. The new testament doesn't explain and expound all the symbolism/parables of the old testament....or even all the parables of the new testament. They need to be revealed by the Holy Spirit. It is a matter of...

Thought you would agree brother, just wanted to mention it as a reminder. ;)

Actually I forgot the Lord already showed me something about that verse. Which I already shared in a post, and I think you ignored it. I will try to find it again if I have time. Starts out with "filthy" referring to all unbelievers........according to the BIBLE, if we let it interpret itself.

It should be obvious to anyone with a little bit of perception that you truly do need healing. You can stop wasting your time with trying to dig in a knife, I've been long dead to it already. I just don't care, Epi. Nice try if someone wants to win a battle in the flesh I suppose, except that...

LOL. Only sometimes. Other times it's 4 divided by 2 = 2. Now why can't you be honest and acknowledge what someone else already pointed out to you, concerning Cornelius: Act 11:9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. Without the...

I see a world that is deceived by their own righteousness into wrongly thinking that they dont' need a Saviour. Many professing Christians within the church too.

Thank you. I do too.
