Faith IS the substance. Of things HOPED FOR. Faith IS the evidence of things NOT SEEN. The substance is faith, not what is seen. Epi as much as said if you can't see it, it's not evidence....equating it to the courts of this world who have to see it to believe it. I certainly agree there is...

I think I did understand what he said, however he is certainly free to clarify if there is a misunderstanding. Go back to what I posted and then what he posted in reply. #121 and #122 on this page 7. I shared the scripture that says Faith is the substance of things HOPED FOR, and the evidence...

You seem to be ignoring and even went out of your way to leave out the point that I was making. Let me repeat it: "I am pointing out another side of the story. Where we do not yet "see" God's intervention, does not mean faith is not genuine, or that the promise is untrue." Do you agree or...

I don't leave that out of "my paradigm" at all. True believers have works....our very first work after believing with our heart is to confess with our mouth. Our lives change. But we are not perfected yet in the beginning. We begin to embark on a journey of FAITH and begin to draw from the...

Your sarcasm is noted. Here is what he said: "Faith on the other hand comes with God's confirmation...a translation, a visitation, a spiritual gift etc That's how we know we have faith and not beliefs....God's intervention." I am pointing out another side of the story. Where we do not yet...

Yes, but until then, it doesn't nullify the truth that all things HAVE already been put under His feet......as the scripture clearly says.

Only a "certain element of truth"? It is what the bible says and shows. Therefore it is a valid part of the story. Someone here is denying certain important truths in the word of God on the basis of whether or not it can be "seen". There are things that Jesus HAS accomplished on the cross...

Yes I agree we need to die to ourselves too. But you are not addressing the point I was making. As happens a a lot. Episkopos says if there is faith we can expect to see it manifested immediately. And I am pointing out, that is not always the case. (There are so many examples in the bible.)...

Careful brother. Don't forget there is another side to this. Jesus DIED in faith. No miracle could be seen when He was hanging on the cross. Nothing manifested until 3 days later. Job said, though He slay me yet will I trust Him. Faith gets tested and tried. Let PATIENCE have her...

The scripture says that faith IS the evidence. And faith IS the substance. Of things not yet manifested but hoped for. We are to walk by faith, not by sight. You don't seem to be understanding what those verses are saying. God called Abraham the father of many nations.......long before it...

Speaking of understanding, I wonder how many understand this? That faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. And that though all things have been put under the feet of Jesus , we do not yet (necessarily) see all things put under His feet. There is a...

Heb 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. Vanished away in 70AD I believe. God no longer "requires" the Jews to act out the types/shadows of the heavenly reality in the ordinances of temple/tabernacle...

If you agree with that assessment.........then what is the solution? How is a nation or individuals made righteous and blessed by God? Through politics? Did Jesus die on the cross and then tell us to go and make Republicans/Conservatives of every nation?

I don't hate your country or your freedom etc.....on the contrary I've always liked America.....my oldest son's father was an American Viet Nam war vet who came to the Lord a few years before he died, praise God, and witnessed to my son who is now following Jesus. But the solution to the...

Hmm. Says someone whose country is in process of nominating commies to their other major party. In fact, Canada is exactly like yours.........divided in roughly half, like Babylon. This is because God's judgment is on western civilization (formerly Christendom) for embracing sin and turning...

Have a look at these: Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and...

Thank you for your response. I think we need to keep in mind that the bible says the ordinances of the Law were abolished and blotted out at the cross.......and though the moral/ethical lessons in the Law remain valid as a standard of righteousness (and even the ordinances are valid as...

Christ alone is our glory and our crown, the beginning and end of our faith. Anyone who tries to take His place in our lives really is a crown taker. Many fit into this category unfortunately, even apart from their theology, whether priests, pastors, prophets or popes. We are to follow Jesus...

Wasn't it Paul who wrote that believers are dead to the Law, that they might be married to Christ..? He only observed the Law insofar as it was expedient so as to not scandalize and offend the Jews unnecessarily, in order to try and win them to Christ. No one could understand about being dead...

Maybe it is individual for the dead in Christ, but there is a future coming of Christ to corporately gather those "who are alive and remain". That has to be a set time in the future. Jesus will gather those believers who have not died and still remain on earth in order that they escape the...
