The shadow and the fulfillment. One is a ceremony and the other is actually doing it. Like the Sabbath...one is just not doing anything...and the other is walking in a new life...away from our own. We STOP living in the sinful nature and walk in His divine nature.

It isn't blood so much....it is life. A life for a life. The life is in the blood. Drink in His blood...His life. That is the gospel. We give up a life to take on a life. The exchanged life. The sacrificial system was this as well. A life for a life. So then to offer ourselves as a living...

They may have told him to keep his chin up!

And apparently those who have walked in space say that their suits smelled like they had been to a BBQ. It smells burnt out there.

People die for the sins of others all the time. Jesus got entangled in the affairs of men and paid the price for our sinfulness. But then He transcended that act of cruelty and turned it around that we might have shame for our actions. We have let our self-interest get way out of control...even...

You don't impute a gift. The righteousness of God is a gift of grace from God. It is HIS righteousness....not ours. If you build a house....it can be attributed (imputed) to you. But if God does something and gives it to you...it is imputed to Him.

It is the resurrection of Jesus that changes everything. He is risen. That means He is available and able to give us His power to do as He did. We are not to try being so good that we can be sinless on our own. We are sinless only by entering into Christ...where there is no sin at all.

That's how you lose perspective though... One must remember what it is one is looking at before getting the microscope out and trying to determine what we are seeing by looking at the individual atoms... The prophetic person steps back to understand....not forward. Real science is with the...

Assisi and Xavier come to mind....

="JesusIsFaithful, post: 304106, member: 6711"]In Acts 8th chapter where Philip was casting out unclean spirits and healing the lame, the Samaritans in that area were being afflicted by Simon the sorceror with unclean spirits and Simon was an infamous highly regarded man in the area. Acts 8:9...

It appears as if you are trying to look at this from too close...you need to step back and see the continuity of God's ways. Salvation is conditional. God makes promises...but they are to the faithful....or the ...whomsoever wills. There is a part that God does and there is the right response...

"H. Richard, post: 439125, member: 6940"]There was a gospel (good news) to Israel that the promised kingdom was at hand (because Jesus was the kingdom). That gospel has been put aside, because of unbelief, until the age of the Gentiles is completed. During the age of the Gentiles there is...

God is jealous over our souls. He wants them attached to Him....not each other.

It isn't imputed...that would mean that it was there already. The righteousness of God is a gift....not a human attribute. We are to seek God for it...so we can't already possess it until it is given. Abraham had faith/faithfulness in him. That is why it was imputed (attributed ) to him. You...

Given that we have free choice....and no knowledge of cause and effect (at first) in spiritual terms...I think the fall was inevitable. Add to that the ruses of the devil...who really doesn't respect us humans.

That seems right....but only "seems" so. The knowledge about the gospel is not the same as having new life. Believing that something is true is a good start. But if it's true then we can knock, ask and seek...until we are given power from heaven. That is the kind of faith that saves. It is a 2...

To impute means "to be responsible for"....or determined to be. There is a whole doctrinal error based on a bad interpretation of the word "impute". It means to be "deemed to be". As in...."the rash was imputed to the poison ivy." or...."the engine failure was imputed to the bird strike." So...

Amen! It "looked" good to eat....but there is a a way that "seems" right unto a man ....but it is the way of death.

But I am showing you verses that have Jesus as God...and you don't flinch? You follow one rule one time and then throw the same process out the next time because you don't like what it says. I don't have the time today to go through the OT references to Jesus being YHVH as well as His...

Actually in Hebrew the best way to read the verse is not..."if thou canst tell"...but...."for you know" (kiy tedah). So then the identity of God's Son is no mystery. Everyone knows His name.
