    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Let's hope not! :) And let's hope people don't falsely characterize what we say in their own words rather than quote us directly. I don't own a cellphone. But I've seen them used. People have called me on them. If I say something hurtful to them while on the phone...will they be offended or...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Continuing the analogy between water and the Spirit. Water is a liquid. It takes the form of the container it enters into. The Holy Spirit also takes the form of the container it is poured into. Water is also something WE can be immersed in. Because we have lungs that breathe air, however...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Reading skills are needed to understand what you read. It's no wonder that so few are able to grasp what the bible is speaking of! And in that way...you are not understanding my analogy. You need to look up words like "baptism" and "imputation" to find their meaning even before trying to tackle...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Actually, it's the holy, the righteous ,the filthy, and the wicked. One can go find the Hebrew names...if one wants. ;)

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    The first judgment...that MANY (not all) will be resurrected into judgment...some to life and honour and some to eternal shame and reproach. Judgment BEGINS at the house of God. Dan. 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    That's not right. That would be like saying baptism in water is to have water imputed to us. We can be covered with water without becoming water ourselves. Still with the lack of understanding of what imputing means. We are never as righteous as God....never. But His covering righteousness...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Abel was killed...sacrificed, as it were, for his connection to God...and Cain was responsible in his outer man jealousy. Cain had a mark on him...whereby he wasn't to be cut off from he earth. This is akin to the weeds growing together with the wheat. Cain represents the ones who wander in the...

    New Music album coming up soon...listen to the sample.

    I thought to bump this back up to have a change of pace! :)

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    When people believe a lie...they are forced to speak from the spirit of the lie. They cannot help themselves...being taken captive by the spirit of the lie. You will know them by their fruit. The truth sets us free to speak from a place of peace, love and righteousness. Look at these posts by...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    The escape goat is presented alive before the Lord to make an atonement upon him. (Remember that the other goat is killed as a sacrifice TO the Lord as a sin offering). You are assuming that the atonement of the escape goat is as also a sin offering. Look at verse 21and 22... 21 And Aaron...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    When you get to see behind the curtain, so to speak...you will see what spirit animates people. Religious people act a certain way...and even if they realize what they are doing isn't right...they still do it. Why? Because it is a spirit. Now that spirit, that has gone into the world is looking...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Maybe the Lord is directing you to not look at my posts? :) Does my mere existence offend you?

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    The mystery is in the nature of God who IS Spirit and is omniscient (without the need of a separate person to do that for Him). Notice this from Jesus... 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    You would have this to read...He was rejected by God. Look at what it says in Isaiah...then glance back at what I wrote..then repeat that a few times until it sinks in. it may take you doing this several hundred times to shake off the religious conditioning you have received. We imputed Him...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    I thank you for your concern. But you are misrepresenting your own lack of understanding for God's ways with my reasoning faculties. You are not understanding the significance of this. The Jews see Azazel as the devil. The "escape goat." One goat is FOR the Lord...and is sacrificed. The other...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    You say you believe Jesus is BOTH God and man...yet when Jesus speaks as a man, you deny He is God. When Jesus speaks as God, you deny He is a man...You can't wrap your head around He being both at the same time. This may come as a surprise to you, but, Jesus ALWAYS did what was pleasing to the...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    The idea that God the Father put Jesus on the cross is very wrong. In the parable of the vineyard you see the Father sending His prophets to warn stubborn religious people (don't I know what that's like! :) ) that they need to bear fruit.. When those pesky religious believers kill the...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    A scapegoat is evil....one that is not "of the Lord." La-hashem How can Jesus be "not of the Lord? "... if He is the Lord? The scapegoat is actually believers who are not sacrificed...not crucified...they are set off into the wilderness, because they are not OF the Lord. As in...go away, I never...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    For the serious bible students...and God-fearers... Make 2 columns. The first is to list verses on how we will be judged by our own righteousness....and the second...how we will be judged as if we were perfect having God's righteousness. I say JUDGED....how we will be assessed by God on...

    How can you blaspheme the Holy Spirit....?

    It should come as no surprise that religious people have tampered with the text of the bible. But we can know when things have been tampered with. How? It doesn't fit in with the rest of the scriptures AND it serves men not God. We know the Masoretic (Hebrew bible) has been tampered with...
