    Was Jesus a spirit being before coming to earth as a human?

    Yes, Jesus was a spiritual being before God changed him into human form. As I understand it, Jesus existed with God before the universe was created. The whole universe, and all physical life on earth, was created by Jesus as directed by God. Even all the heavenly spirit beings - angels...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    I was going to ignore it! :) You asked "What, or who, is the house of Israel and the house of Judah?", and then answered your own question with "I think the answer is the king". My response was that I believe it is referring to all of the tribes of Israel - all of God's chosen people...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    I believe it is referring to all the tribes of Israel. When Solomon died, between 926 and 922 BCE, the ten northern tribes refused to submit to his son, Rehoboam and revolted. From this point on, there were two kingdoms of Hebrews: in the north - Israel (ten tribes plus some Levites), and in...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    As Psalms 50:5 says, Christians have "made a covenant with me [God] by sacrifice", i.e. we have been baptised (immersed) into Jesus' death (Romans 6:3) and therefore covenanted to sacrifice our human lives so that we may also share in Jesus' resurrection (Romans 6:5) to the divine nature (2...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    How about Romans 11:25-32 (WEB): (25) For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in, (26) and so all Israel will be saved. Even...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    We follow in Jesus' footsteps and likewise have to sacrifice our human lives. As I wrote in post #3: The whole merit of Jesus’ sacrifice was applied to the Church, so the Church must sacrifice their lives in order that the merit may be returned and then applied to the rest of mankind. This is...

    Antichrist - Pope

    Okay, I've done a quick check. For the Catholic Record quote see The Catholic Record, Sept. 1, 1923. - about half way through the article the text is highlighted in bold: For Catholics it is not the slightest difficulty. "All power is given Me in heaven and on earth; as the Father sent Me so I...

    Antichrist - Pope

    No. No, not yet. Have you? It's evidence in support of the author's claims about the Pope's supposing themselves to have authority to change God's laws, and evidence that the Papacy is what the prophecy in Daniel was pointing to: “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    And that new covenant is still yet to come into force (at the start of the Millennial Age). Clearly Jews/Israelites have not come under that covenant yet. That covenant says, "I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people", but Christians are to become the sons of God, part of His...

    Antichrist - Pope

    Why don't you just read what I wrote? In the opening post I wrote, "I thought I'd share it here, as I find it very interesting". I'm just trying to help my brethren in Christ to better understand God's word in the Bible. I consider that more love than hate. I have been slowly reading the...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    I thought I was quite clear. I had written, "Yes, Christians ... - but they are not under that new covenant". So I referring to all true Christians. I consider myself a Christian, and therefore not under the New Covenant - so, no (although you're not clear what you mean by "New Covenant...

    Antichrist - Pope

    My take is that is is a punishment from God for not believing that God is our creator. People still teach today the theory of evolution as though it is the truth, even though it has been proved beyond all doubt to be a false theory - and homsexuality seems to be on the increase, and even...

    Antichrist - Pope

    Well it took more thought, fact checking and effort than you put into your reply. You even said, "I can't be bothered", so why did you bother to reply? Just so you could attack me, calling me not very bright? Mat 5:43-45 (WEB): (43) “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Gal 3:26-27,29 (WEB): (26) For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus. (27) For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. (29) If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to promise. 2Co 5:17 (WEB): (17) Therefore if...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    I disagree. Please see the new thread I've just created - Antichrist - Pope.

    Antichrist - Pope

    So how can the pope change God’s law? Did He create the heavens and the Earth? Obviously not, so it is not surprising that the forth commandment is the commandment he changed, as God said the Sabbath is the seal of His authority as our Maker and Lawgiver; a sign between Him and us that we are...

    Antichrist - Pope

    I've recently read a chapter of a book titled King Of The Ark, "A study on the discovery of the Ark of the Covenant", by Rebecca Tourniaire (KING OF THE ARK - Thirdangelsmessage.com % %). It covers the subject of the antichrist. I thought I'd share it here, as I find it very interesting: In...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Mat 7:7 - “Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find." Seek the truth and you will find it! :)

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Sorry, I should have investigated further. In the WEB and Websters verses 25 - 27 are missing. In ESV and TLV verse 24 is missing (and greyed out in ASV and LSV). Barnes notes says of verses 25-27 that these "verses are found in many manuscripts at the close of the fourteenth chapter. Its...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    There is no verse 26 of Romans 16!
