    If Jesus was the One who took away sins from the world?

    Matt, please tell us when 2 Thes. 1:7-10 took place, and your account of HOW it actually did: [7] And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, [8] In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not...

    If Jesus was the One who took away sins from the world?

    Are you implying that the Grace of God, through the sacrificial death of Christ and the shedding of His blood for our sins, is a "big blanket" that covers everyone? YES, INDEED IT US! BUT.... That is only half the story. Now that ALL are forgiven, WE all need to repent towards God through Jesus...

    If Jesus was the One who took away sins from the world?

    Basically, you just agreed with what "PTA" wrote in the previous post. Yes, Jesus is the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world, who "tasted death for every single person". Therefore, if we don't accept/receive His free judgment over death, by His Gift of Grace through Jesus, and...

    Does God give us faith, or do we give God faith?

    Which is saying: "Yeah, I believe in Jesus", but never being repentant towards God, or follow Jesus in the SPIRITUAL likeness of His resurrection, aka being baptized by water and being born again by/of His Spirit. Romans 8:8-9.

    What if the Outside of the Kingdom?

    You asked: "what is KoG", and not what is the KoG.

    What if the Outside of the Kingdom?

    To be IN the KoG, is for Jesus to be IN you. To be IN Jesus, is to be IN the KoG. To be IN the KoG, is to be IN Jesus and he IN you.

    Does God give us faith, or do we give God faith?

    No, you are not getting it. For us to believe in His Son, is the complete work of God that we should do.

    OSAS is now teaching faith with works, and not faith alone.

    So then, all who are Born again are not condemned, but should they fall into sin, and frequentlly, they are condemned again. By that way of thinking, you are saying that all must be sin-free, in order to keep oneself in the KoG. Therefore, it is paramount that a person be a "sin-tracker" with...

    Does God give us faith, or do we give God faith?

    Well of course I shall address it. James was speaking to the 12 tribes of Israel, who literally and fervently believed in the One God. As a result, James was pointing to that which was the works of God that Israel are called to do. And that work, is to believe on Him, whom their One God sent as...

    Does God give us faith, or do we give God faith?

    Being repentant towards God the Father, we all must have faith to believe that Jesus is the only Savior, for the forgiveness of sin. Now that we have been forgiven, we must ASK for the Gift of His Holy Spirit, of whom is Jesus, bringing God the Father, who is within Him (Luke 11:13, John 16:13...

    What if the Outside of the Kingdom?

    Revelation 12:1-17 provides a condensed overview of time on earth, from Abraham to the Glorious Return of Jesus. The "woman" is Israel, who were of faith in God, waiting for the "Promise to come", the first appearance of Christ. (Verses 1-3). The "remnant of her seed" are "Born again...

    OSAS is now teaching faith with works, and not faith alone.

    So to be blunt, you can read the words of KJV John 3:18, but you don't know what is being said.

    OSAS is now teaching faith with works, and not faith alone.

    OK, it is apparent that you are overly concerned about sin, which in your mind is "bad works" being opposed to "good works". However, in all actuality, there is no "grey area", whereby we can "straddle the fence" and achieve victory over our flesh through self will. It shall always fail. John...

    You don't understand your Bible. Are you a recent convert to Christ, and have been born again of His Spirit? John 16[13] Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he...

    What if the Outside of the Kingdom?

    Jesus Himself, is the KoG.

    WHO ARE THE TWO WITNESSES IN REVELATION ?

    Now, back to the topic of this thread. Jesus is the True witness of who God the Father is, and John the Baptist is the true human witness of who Jesus is, being the Lamb of God, the express [exact] image of the Father. KJV Hebrews 1:3. 1 John 5[9] If we receive the witness of men, the witness...

    WHO ARE THE TWO WITNESSES IN REVELATION ?

    I am pointing it out that you really do know that the Holy Spirit is God the Father IN Jesus, coming to us IN Jesus' name. All Christians understand and spiritually know that our approach to God the Father, is IN Jesus' name. Why? We know, that the Father, who is greater than Jesus, is WITHIN...

    WHO ARE THE TWO WITNESSES IN REVELATION ?

    . OK, if I misread your "George Lucas" remark, and took it personally, when you didn't mean it towards me, I now understand that you were just generalizing.:) I once held to the religious jargon of "The Trinity". Like it or not, if it's not a creed, then it is implied as so, in the jargon of...

    Not fairy tales. God speaks to us in symbolism, dichotomies, parallels and parables. Only by His Holy Spirit ("the mind of Christ")* within us, is it possible for us to understand His thoughts and His ways (meaning). Without Him interpreting His meanings to us, all that we shall ever grasp of...

    WHO ARE THE TWO WITNESSES IN REVELATION ?

    God the Father cannot come to us without the VEIL of the risen Christ. Therefore, for the Father to dwell within us, He FIRST must dwell within Jesus, of which took place on the day of His Resurrection, whereby He and the Father were rejoined together once again, after the Father had forsaken...
