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

    A Closer Look at the Genesis Creation Account

    I think you have missed the essence of the gospel. Christ came to bear the sins of the whole world. Taking upon Himself the burden of guilt, horror, shame, nakedness, and the expectation of eternal destruction, was the cause of death, His wages for taking our transgressions. Which was also why...

    A Closer Look at the Genesis Creation Account

    Your biblical worldview completely disregards the character of Christ as a reflection of the character of the Father. A perfect reflection, revealing the nature of the kingdom over which they preside. God is not about power and sovereignty. While He is God, King, and sovereign over all His vast...

    Israel? Or the church?

    Anti-reformers month

    Unbiblical? I was referring to history. I wasn't giving a Bible lesson. But if you want evidence that the Catholic Church is the Antichrist of scripture as the reformers taught I will oblige. I'm fact, I have a thread doing that very thing.

    The mandarins will be sorted out before the feast for not having the correct attire.

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

    I'm the OT there was the promise of a rebuilt sanctuary, but when the builders saw the plans and the foundations, they cried because it seemed so small and insignificant. Yet the promise was that it would be the most blessed... And that was because the Messiah walked inside is precincts. You are...

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

    That's the metaphor yes, and correct of course. The reality is that Christians are Israel because their Redeemer and Savior is the real Israel. There's a lot more I'm in the midst of preparing, but here's a snippet... KJV Isaiah 41:8 8 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen...

    A Closer Look at the Genesis Creation Account

    And the years of eternity, as they roll, will bring richer and still more glorious revelations of God and of Christ. As knowledge is progressive, so will love, reverence, and happiness increase. The more men learn of God, the greater will be their admiration of his character. As Jesus opens...

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

    Christ was slain from the foundation of the world. The covenant of grace was with the entire planet... It was Israel's duty to share the gospel with everyone else. They failed. I'm preparing a study on who is Israel today, and why. May take a day or two and a separate thread although there are...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Well. That was as great a display of righteous indignation if ever I saw one. Yet it still didn't actually address the issue I was trying to dial into. Maybe my writing skills ain't as good as I imagine and you simply don't get where I'm coming from. That's alright. Making you angry wasn't a...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Why are you offended that anyone should ask such questions considering your church asserts that the LDS is the one true church on the face of the earth. Joseph Smith claimed Jesus Christ told him to join none of the existing denominations because “they were all wrong . . . that all their creeds...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Actually what you showed previously not long above, regarding the personal planet rule etc, was that you don't think about them.

    Israel? Or the church?

    Pagan Rome was a problem, and Jerusalem appealed to them to subdue the church in instances where Jerusalem had no power. a few centuries later, Papal Rome inherited the throne of the Caesars, took upon itself civil power in Rome, and through political means and superstitious fear coerced other...

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

    Because you said, suggesting that in the following, that the law only applies to the Jews, yet all Christians profess to have Christ abiding within, the embodiment of the law. The futurist position wherein they link Daniel to Christ's statement regarding the Sabbath in Matthew and concluding...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Those "anti-cult" resources on many occasions were quotes taken from LDS material. After all, if not taken from LDS material, then the alternative is that they were made up. In other words, you are suggesting that the secret mysterious underwear, the oaths, the doctrines pertaining to a sexual...

    Israel? Or the church?

    Patience my friend. All shall be revealed, for I don't venture forth into such delicate territories without first having a reasoned and Biblically and historically sound justification for doing so. Post #51 above is the introduction, with more to come.

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

    But if you are grafted into the same root as Israel, are you not then Israel? Is that covenant not then with you as well as all other Gentiles and Jews who come to Christ? Isn't Christ the root? Have yo not Christ dwelling within your heart, the embodiment of the law? Is not the gospel the same...

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

    Okay. First, my reference to Matthew 6:13 wasn't intended to suggest that 'deliver' from evil was an alternative rendering or understanding of either Isaiah or Paul's use of the word, but simply to point out that the same word can be used in different texts having different nuances each time...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    1Pe 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear. Since its inception, the LDS church has been challenged many times to justify its beliefs. You come to our homes door...
