His kingdom on earth is the church, so, no, not OT

Absolutely 100%. There are tons of documentary utube videos that show unbelievable, undeniable hard to believe things. I've watched many myself. The devil is not shy to present himself as opposed to God who won't be tempted and requires faith. I can provide links if anyone wishes, but simply...

No definitive age, like when the clock strikes 12 midnight on a specific day in your life, and the only guide we have is the Lord himself, being 12 years old when he began doing his father's work, Luke 2:42. Because there is no definitive age, and people mature at different rates, it's important...

So, the bible can't be and wasn't intended to be understood by the common, everyday, man, right? We commoners can't look at the bible in it's simplicity to understand such things as salvation, right? The simple words that Philip spoke to the Ethiopian eunuch really had deeper esoteric meaning...

Like I said, believe what you like; and, FYI, God's word is simple and understandable as God intended it to be. It's mankind that twists and complicates it by applying their illogical logic. Goodbye

You can believe what you like, but you're way off on a tangent, not addressing the directness and simplicity of the subject Jesus was speaking to. The context here in Matt 5:27-8 is not an esoteric discussion or subject nor requiring a likewise esoteric dissertation by the Lord. It's actually...

Not necessarily OK, but it's not adultery in your heart, because it's not adultery to begin with. This passage is dealing with adultery, not pursuing a woman to engage in fornication. Two different things. I'm only addressing the one that Jesus referred to in this passge and that is the subject...

What is "spiritual adultery"? Define it. Simply put, Jesus is talking about the actual, physical, act of committing adultery here and is simply saying that if you pursue a married woman with the intent of engaging in sexual intercourse with her, you've already committed the act of adultery in...

There is a lot of confusion that surfaces from time-to-time regarding the meaning and implications of Matt 5:27-28, which is predicated upon a lack of careful reading and understanding of what was actually said and the specific words used therein and their relative meaning. First of all, you...

Yes! 'By the authority of'; otherwise you have a conflict of scripture: "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost", and, "in the name of Jesus Christ". Which is it? It's either one.

Baptism means immersion irregardless of how mankind chose to and continues to choose to pervert the meaning

The sabbath was part of the covenant made by God with the Jews, not us. A covenant is an agreement between 2 parties. To keep the sabbath is not restated in the new testament as a requirement to be kept by Christians. The day of worship for the Christian is the 1st day of the week as various...

Obviously not a true prophet but a phony one since he spoke presumptuously and not of God, hence they were not to fear him. Read it again, slowly so you can understand it.

Yes, that's exactly what a prophet is. Foretelling future events as told to them by the Lord. Deuteronomy 18 21You may ask in your heart, “How can we recognize a message that the LORD has not spoken?” 22When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD and the message does not come to pass or come...

Great explanation! Goodbye

Here is 2 Pet1:20-21 20Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. Once again, what is your point?

I don't know what you're point is. Yes, there were prophets for sure in the OT! Likewise in the NT. But not today. We have the complete word of God today and don't need "prophets" to reveal any future event.

IMMEDIATELY upon belief as was evidenced in the conversions in the book of Acts. Until you're baptized, you're still in sin and therefore lost, not saved. You're also not yet a child of God, a Christian, nor part of the body of Christ which is his church.

A phrophet is one who describes a future event on behalf of or at the behest of God. Prophesy is one of the manifestations of the Spirit, commonly referred to as gifts of the Spirit, and is one of the "gifts" listed in 1 Cor 12:8-10. All those gifts have long ago ceased as was told they would in...

Yes but only phony ones
