    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    This is inaccurate. The Hebrew reads ..."see, I (will) give to you God (plural) to Pharoah." Never does it say that Moses is God. And Jesus never claims to be both Father and Son (plural). Jesus is the Sar Shalom (Prince of Peace) and the El Gibor (Mighty God). Both are singular. Elohim is the...

    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    Mark, Mark, Mark. How you miss things! We are to purchase eye salve from Christ...and oil from our lamps...with our LIVES. Do we need to shed our blood to give up our lives? Or is it spiritual? The same goes for Jesus and His church. Jesus is alive...not dead. Life is in the blood. Shed blood...

    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    The early Jewish Christians ended up denying Christ as God...and so were lost to history. Likewise those who saw Jesus as ONLY God (and not human) also were lost to history. The ONLY reason why the Trinity idea took root is because it places divinity and Godship on both Father and Son. The fact...

    “Bible alone” is the cos of confusion!

    Eternal life is by the Spirit of God. We have both the Bible AND the Spirit to guide us into all truth. Traditions of men lead people astray. Besides, we will never all agree on the same errors. The corruption of ALL man-inspired institutions (including the RCC) is evident to all but to the...

    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood." It is assumed that the church was purchased with the SHED blood of Christ. But to add in the word "shed" is...

    Melchizedek's order

    Actually Salem (shalem) is not a place. In Hebrew the word shalem is very close to the word shalom. Now Jesus is the Prince of peace (Sar Shalom). We know that Shalom is not a place, do we not? Shalem is akin to this. It is not possible to understand what shalem is without understanding...

    Not Born with Sin Nature

    LOL Only in your imagination. :) Taking Bible verses willy nilly...out of context...only proves you have a religious bent that borders on a psychological need to be pure in your own eyes. Religion deforms the mind....and sets up the pretense of the carnal mind to be justified for having agreed...

    Condemnation is Only for the Confused Non- OSAS Crowd

    you forgot...."who walk according to the Spirit." When we enter INTO Christ we walk in His life and power...over sin. In Him is no sin. Those who are IN Him do not sin. It stands to reason that the one who has put away sin has no reason to be condemned. If we overcome sin by the Spirit then we...

    One Spirit

    Jesus ate with sinners...even prostitutes. Our Christian communities are not based on spiritual life anymore. But even one disciple who abides in the truth makes everything written in the Bible have support in the world.

    One Spirit

    Sure there is. We have been given the technology in these last days to speak to one another on zoom and speak on phones. Of course it's not the same as person to person...but it is still a support mechanism that encourages spiritual growth. Getting together in person also comes with other...

    One Spirit

    No, here where we live. The home fellowship that I oversee. We have a good support system here among us that encourages us in the Lord.

    One Spirit

    This home fellowship over the last 23 years. Before that various attempts at fellowships that hit dead ends...and before that 10 years in the wilderness of denominationalism. :) We refuse to compromise the truth...seeing that God is going to be taking over Creation again soon. It might look...

    One Spirit

    Eusebius was very respected as a man of God in his time. He was in the minority who stood against the tampering of scripture for the "sake of" men's governance over the Church. Think about it. Who is in control of the Church if you remove the necessity of God's direct intervention? Depending on...

    only a few...

    Actually many will be saved...among the righteous. The few are those who walk in kingdom life in this present world...the saints. The few are the holy and the many are the righteous. Few find the door which is Christ to walk in the narrow way of eternal life at the present time. Those who do so...

    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    Actually the God of Israel...Elohey Yisrael...is Jesus the Lord. It is the Most High...the Father...the Lord of Hosts...that is the God of ALL flesh. Jesus' inheritance was His people.....Israel. Jesus was always LORD over Israel. He came to His own and they didn't recognize Him. There are...

    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    Jesus is a quickening Spirit....sharing the one eternal Holy Spirit with His Father. Jesus is a Source of life...the Way the Truth and the Life. His human nature was unaffected by the fall...it was like Adam's nature BEFORE the fall. Jesus is called "the last Adam."With Jesus comes a fresh...

    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    Psalm 51 1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4...

    Not Born with Sin Nature

    This is false. We are not born into God's presence....at least almost all of us are not. We develop in a life that is independent from God. And we have an outer covering (sinful) that develops in very early childhood. One day, if you have children, you will experience this sin nature developing...

    The Nature of Jesus Christ

    You have strayed far from the truth. You need to look at yourself closer. Paul said that sin was in him....beyond his strength to overcome. That is by nature. Just because the Bible doesn't say...sin nature... doesn't negate what Paul is saying. There are many such references..but you will need...

    The theological fallacy of a spiritual 'resurrection'

    We are quickened in the Spirit in order to seek the full measure of grace which is to walk in the resurrection life of Christ. We are justified and sanctified only as we walk in His perfected humanity in His holiness. A resurrected body is for later. We have this treasure in earthen vessels in...
