    Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into?

    The Spirit of God simply says this: "without the shedding of blood, there is no remission (removal of sin)". Hebrews 9:22 The perfect and sinless blood of "the Lamb of God" shed His blood. For the forgiveness of sin, the demand of God the Father, was completely fulfilled by God the Son. On...

    Becareful that you are not jumping to conclusions, by assuming that I think that man has been "given" an immortal soul. He has not! Man "became a living soul"-KJV. God breathed oxygenated air (the breath of life*) into him, and his lungs then expelled CO2, and deflated, thus feeding all his...

    Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into?

    Very good direct question! First and foremost, the OT prophets were used by God to speak through them to Israel. Therefore, because Jesus had not appeared yet, God spent all of His effort on trying to get Israel to understand the reality of His Son's first coming. Iows, God's emphasis through...

    Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into?

    I supose I wasn't clear at the end of my reply, which begged you to question what I said. I previously wrote: The truth to be learned about Jonas was that he was ALIVE for 3 days in the would be grave of the fish, but the fish could not hold him. The "spiritual thing" about Jesus is that the...

    God's word says that the story of Jonah did happen. If it didn't happen, and Jesus used it to point to Himself, then His story about Himself in conjunction with it, is a lie. But, since all of the above really IS TRUTH, then what I have said previously about Jonah and Jesus, is the truthful...

    In case you forgot, or don't know, Jesus wasn't human prior to conception through the virgin Mary. Heb. 10[5] Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

    Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into?

    You are not telling the whole story of why God hated Esau. Esau disregarded, ignored and neglected his "birthright". The same now applies to everone who does the same towards God, who allowed His Son to be sacrificed for us, so that we may also have a "birthright", and that is for us the believe...

    The truth to be learned about Jonas was that he was ALIVE for 3 days in the would be grave of the fish, but the fish could not hold him. The "spiritual thing" about Jesus is that the grave/death could not hold Him, who is eternally ALIVE. Though His mortal flesh died (tasted death), He who is...

    Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into?

    Why? Mainly because God is a Spirit, and we who are born again, are also Spirit, and therefore should be comparing spiritual things with His spiritual mind (we have the mind of Christ), and not through our natural fleshly mind for understanding.

    Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into?

    It starts out mainly due to a complete misunderstanding of who the "little horn" in Daniel WAS, and Who the 70 weeks is really all about.

    Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into?

    Very well referenced and presented! And Jesus Himself put it exactly as we need to hear it and accept it. Therefore, I repeat for emphasis: KJV- Luke 17[28] Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; [29] But the...

    Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into?

    The trouble with the OT prophets is, in words, they could never distinguish which "coming" of the Day of the Lord, that He was "coming" in. 1. In Jesus' first appearance, the Jews did not know the "time" of their visitation by the Lord, being that of His "coming" to them first. Luke 19:41-44 2...

    Nope! Already been fulfilled! Review the words in Isaiah 55:8-9 some more. I will get back to you about it.

    Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into?

    I am not going to spin my wheels much over this, you do understand the spiritual side of what I am talking about. There is so much more to it, but I will trust God that He will reveal it to you "by His Spirit" (Isaiah 55:8-9, Zechariah 4:6), and not that which is fabricated through...

    Your answer as to which Jerusalem is being spoken of in Zech., is discerned by Jesus, Paul and Peter as being Heavenly Jerusalem. Hebrews 12[22] But ye [who are Born Again] are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of...

    So then, in your so called "christian nation" concept, let's hold up the USA to your candle, and see if we can equally apply 1 Peter 2[9] to every single US citizen, whether they believe in Jesus or not, as being A. "a chosen generation", B. "a royal priesthood", C. "an holy nation", D. "a...

    Again, what did Jesus say about John the Baptist? I gave you the scripture. Don't you have ears to hear? If so then believe what Jesus said, and stop believing fabricated and false doctrines by "churchianity".

    I have provided the scripture for the truthful and fulfilled "nation" of whom the KoG was/IS GIVEN TO. Every person who is "born again" of the Spirit of God. 1 Peter 2:9, John 3:3-8. ONLY Born Again Christians enter into the KoG. Romans 8:9

    Jesus said that the spirit of Elijah already came in the person of John the Baptist! Matthew 11:7-15 [13] For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John [the Baptist]. [14] And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. [15] He that hath ears to hear, let him hear
