If we look at the second principal commandment....and royal law....to "love others as ourselves"...we do see a common basis for all men of all religions to agree on. We can do some things without divine grace. Nothing eternal, of course. The irony is that we don't even have that one down...

But is it really our Leader that is keeping us divided? Doesn't Acts 2 look like a commune in the Spirit?

Paul's reference to "the feast" entails more than that...The Lord's table is within the feast...."the cup of redemption"....but there are 3 other cups. I'm not saying this to be legalistic. Sometimes we need to know why we do certain things. I think Passover is beneficial (not mandatory) for...

How about Passover...from which the Lord's supper is taken? Paul said... 1 Cor. 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with the old bread, leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and of truth. For Messianic types...it doesn't say "the feasts" ...

In the case of Adam...it doesn't say spirit of deep sleep...but simply deep sleep. So then he was entirely asleep. That isn't a problem. But to be spiritually asleep when we claim to see and understanding things...THAT is a big problem.

How can the same people that see Ecu-mania as wrong....not see that denominationalism is fruit from the same tree?

Ordained? To what?

What do people think about this statement of Jesus ... Mat. 12:32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come. It would seem that we indeed retain free will....and can...

We can think of the servant that buried his talent here. Sloth is a spiritual lethargy that causes us to not advance in the knowledge of God. I think we all suffer from this at times ....just think of the 10 virgins who ALL fell asleep. We need to be awake. There is a spirit called "rouach...

What I meant was that we tend to see things in black and white but in the kingdom there is ...good..better.. perfect...on the positive side....and bad to worse on the negative side. To judge righteously then we need to see that righteousness is a moving target.

In Hebrew..IM ( עם ) means "with"...Imanou is "with us" (adding in the vav) El...is God in the singular. A virgin (young maiden) bears a son who's title is... "God (separate word) with us"

What about this.. יהוה the name of God...in which the letters mean.. . a hand ה behold ו a nail ה behold John 20:25 So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not...

Jesus is called Immanuel...."God with us"....in Is. 7 But the text reads this in 2 words...Imanou (with us) El (God in singular form) 1. Elohim is in plural form (more than one) 2. Imanou el is in 2 words meaning this is not a name but a statement that God is really to be born of men. We see...

...and all this with obedience on our part. Salvation, although a work of grace, is not something that God does without expecting something in return if He grants us the time to grow into Him. To whom much is given, more is required...and this includes time.

Obedience preserves. Do you think disobedience saves? Does disobedience likewise preserve us? (This is very silly)

I leave you to read it as you see it.

More accurately...he is speaking to the Romans about the Jews.

Paul is speaking to the Corinthian church the whole time.

"keras, post: 276780, member: 6200"]What we are saying and what some people don't understand, is that the true, righteous Israelites are Christian believers. Sadly, only a very small proportion of Jews are Christian. Remember how ancient Israel separated into 2 Kingdoms? Then the Northern...

"Taken, post: 433705, member: 7756"]As with most Scriptural topics, indepth study and asking God for His understanding is paramount. Briefly, I would say.... The House of Israel encompasses All 12 Tribes. The House of Judah referenced the 10 "broke away" northern tribes. I think you meant...
