    The saints of Israel

    You are trying to understand spiritual and eternal things with a carnal grasp on how people name things. The modern country called" Israel" was not named by God but by secular human nationalists. It should really be called Judea...as in the time of Jesus. Even the orthodox Jews reject naming...

    Jericho: The taking down of the Outer Man

    And just to add...Jericho was indeed built up again...at the cost of Hiel's firstborn son. I think this is a reminder of the cost of building up the flesh again after it's edifice has been torn down. It cost God His Son to tear us away from our fleshly power. And if we build again on our old...

    The saints of Israel

    Well...Israel did cease to be a nation. And God has rejected the national aspirations of the Jewish people...which do NOT coincide with God's will. And if you were careful, you would see how many Gentiles are in the lineage of king David...and by extension...Jesus. God can graft in whom He...

    It left me thinking......

    Actually, dialectic is not a big word...it is an accurate word. More accurate than say...duh! :)

    Has Jesus come in the spirit?

    It isn't constructive to argue the spiritual over the physical. BOTH are true. Both are realized in Christ who is both God and man. There is the physical logos...we can read with carnal eyes. But there is also the spiritual rhema we hear with spiritual ears. These speak to the body and blood of...

    Jericho: The taking down of the Outer Man

    We know that the promised land is our access to the kingdom of God in the spiritual realm. And Joshua represents "Christ in us"...the one within us working with the Father. Josh. 10:5 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the...

    The Jazz Man

    What you are experiencing is the double experience of good and evil. Everything is mixed in. We can't go long before something goes sour...or vice versa...things get better. Now that is a constant in life. But how you take it depends on your attitude. You can yo you with the world...or steer...

    Jericho: The taking down of the Outer Man

    As long as it is understood that the most bitter enemy we will ever face is ourselves. We wander in the wilderness until we are ready to be fully crucified. Jericho represents the breaking down of the outer man. The small remnant that survives is what God builds with. (Rahab is an ancestor of...

    Jericho: The taking down of the Outer Man

    In a great house there are vessels of honour and vessels of dishonour. Not everyone that says Lord Lord...is fit for the kingdom. But then again the saved are not cast into the lake of fire to be destroyed. So then banishment is the destiny of they who ofend God and the truth. For more of a...

    Jericho: The taking down of the Outer Man

    The name Rahab I: Summary Meaning Wide, Spacious Etymology From the verb רחב (rahab), to be wide or spacious. God wants to increase the inner man...to make us prosperous from within. He takes us to a place of growth...a wide place. A place where there are no limits on what we can become in Him...

    Jericho: The taking down of the Outer Man

    Now what of the scarlet cord that the spies were let down the walls from...and also serving as a sign of salvation for all who were in that house? This is akin to the Passover lamb...whereby the judgment of God passed over they who were covered by the blood. So then the scarlet (crimson) cord...

    Jericho: The taking down of the Outer Man

    Once God destroyed the walls of Jericho there was a curse put on whoever would rebuild it's walls. We see this in... Gal. 2:18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. Joshua 6:26 26 And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before...

    Jericho: The taking down of the Outer Man

    The word Jericho comes from two possible Hebrew words...one means "fragrance" and the other "the moon." Etymology From the noun ריח (reah), scent or fragrance. From the noun ירח (yareah), moon, in turn from the verb ארח ('arah), to wander or travel. We are travellers in this world...pilgrims...

    Jericho: The taking down of the Outer Man

    The Old Testament gives us analogies and pictures of the spiritual process which is salvation in Christ Jesus. So then the New Testament is in the OT concealed....and the OT is in the NT revealed. That brings us to Jericho...the first city to be conquered by God's people upon entering into the...

    YOUR TESTIMONY!! DON'T FORGET WHAT GOD HAS DONE 4 YOU!!

    Actually the book of Job shows us that God indeed takes things away...physical things...things we rely on so that we can cry out to Him in our need.

    YOUR TESTIMONY!! DON'T FORGET WHAT GOD HAS DONE 4 YOU!!

    In my life God has destroyed, knocked down, burned up, pierced through, and crucified one part of me so that He could plant and build up another part of me. True story. All praises to God alone! :) \o/\o/\0/

    Amen! More actual testimony...less opinions.

    Conjecture

    Let's speak on the validity of this succession of bishops. Now the Catholics claim they have an unbroken succession of said bishops. But the missing piece is the Lord and His say. The laying on of hands has become symbolic whereas before it contained miraculous power...to heal and raise the...

    Conjecture

    That's no way to speak to a lady. What ever happened to the "southern gentleman" approach...let alone a Christian brotherly approach? Certain posters here are just like trolls who bait and then attack. Passive aggressive types. We are not to accept just any treatment by just anyone. There are...

    Conjecture

    And yet pride is the substance that the flesh wishes for...the evidence of achievements yet unseen. So then pride is the hope of the flesh.
