Ephesians 2:20 (WEB): being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone; Because Jesus was making a play on words. Matthew 16:18 (WEB): I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of...

We have no way of knowing if the thief had been baptised or whether he had faith in Jesus (but if he had then he had since fallen away, seeing that he had been sinning as a thief and was being executed). However, the thief was not a Christian and not called by God to become a member of the body...

I find your reasoning confusing! You had suggested that I might think that Christians will be caught up to the clouds and live there forever, (you said "so you think Christ is going to gather us to Heaven in the CLOUDS to live!"), so I quoted 1Th 4:7 and compared it with Jesus' ascension to...

I think that should have been Ecclesiastes 3:19-20. Ecclesiastes 3 (WEB): 19) For that which happens to the sons of men happens to animals. Even one thing happens to them. As the one dies, so the other dies. Yes, they have all one breath; and man has no advantage over the animals: for all is...

No, I'm fairly sure you didn't mention anything about asleep or dead Christians. I've checked again. The first mention you make of 1 Thessalonians 4 is in your reply #446, just after you accused me of not staying 'on the topic about the "asleep" saints'. I had quoted verse 17, but I didn't...

Again, that's unrelated to this topic. This is a little more related to the topic: Galations 3 (WEB): 19) Then why is there the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a...

Jesus is not God though, he is God's only-begotten son. So you're saying Mary is Jesus' mother and his wife?! Surely not.

Matthew 16:18) I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. As I've mentioned elsewhere, Peter is not the foundation of the church - the fact that Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God (Matthew 16:16) is...

Hmm, I'm not sure how to answer that! If I tell you my full name, that will be meaningless to you. If I tell you what church I attend, and help out a little, then that will be meaningless to you - and I can't claim to be speaking for or on behalf of that church/denomination. I am just a...

Again, no Scripure reference to back up your claims. Why should anybody believe what anybody else posts on this forum if it's not backed up by Scripture? (And making the font larger doesn't make the words you type any more significant or truer!) Hebrews 9:15 (ESV): Therefore he is the...

What's that got to do with Christians not being under the New Covenant?

Another unhelpful post. Here's a post for you: Holy Bible - start here. Is that helpful to you?

Was there any point in you quoting those Hebrews 9 verses?

Why bring them up? I am not a Jehovah's Witness.

Another unhelpful comment! If you think that what I wrote is incorrect then please post the reason(s) why, quoting from the Bible to support your claims. Otherwise if you have nothing constructive to say then it is better to say nothing. Just saying "You're on the wrong path", or "That's...

(Mat 26:28) For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Yes, Jesus has shed his blood for the remission of sins, but that doesn't mean that all mankind is under the New Covenant - it means that mankind's sins can now be forgiven - in due time...

That's not a helpful comment! Please show us Scriptural evidence to support your claim.

Our Covenant of sacrifice The Church is separate and distinct from the world in every particular. We are not under the old Law Covenant nor will we be under the New Law Covenant (or New Testament), but we are under a special Covenant of Sacrifice. God said, “Gather my saints together unto me...

Christians sometimes ask “Do the 10 commandments apply to us, or were they just for the Israelites?” The answer is no they do not apply to us, and yes they do! A summary of the Sinaitic Law is “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind...

BTW, Christians are not under the New Covenant. That's another topic though, so I'll start a new thread about that - see Christians are not under the New Covenant.
