    Did Jesus remove all the sin from the world?

    There is only one sin that remains, the sin of unbelief. Though all sins have been covered by the Lord Yeshua for all people. That is the only one that remains. Ive learned that we are justified by the blood of Christ, and his lived sanctified life. All people are justified today by the...

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    I had to condense this down, Lizbeth. Exploring Prophecy and Scripture: A Summary Dual Layers of Meaning: Prophetic scripture can convey spiritual lessons and historical or future events—sometimes both at once. Personal vs. Corporate Interpretation: You’re discerning how much of scripture...

    Jesus paid for all the sins of mankind. Believer or Not. Did you know that? That is the reason...

    Jesus paid for all the sins of mankind. Believer or Not. Did you know that? That is the reason why God is no longer angry at the world, or at unbelievers. It's a personal choice and always will be to believe on the life Yeshua had lived, that we could not.

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    Hey Lizbeth, I forget sometimes that Prophecy does not always mean foretelling the future. It's not solely about predicting the future, but also about speaking God's truth, offering encouragement, and guiding others. This gift is described as a way to strengthen, encourage, and console...

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    There are many principles and lessons founded in the Bible. Yes. I would still say, that people need to be careful when they read it though, and make sure to keep things in context cause not everything in that bible is something that is directly to us today. Many things can be found relative...

    Psalm 23: A verse-by-verse understanding, (Part 4)

    I fear death. I told my mother this yesterday. Sometimes I worry about when things pop on my body, I don't overly worry but as I told her. "I say I am ready for death, but truthfully I am not really." Cause like while she doesnt live with me, I still have black widows and recluses that live...

    Thank you, that is why I believe and trust Jesus, and God, and the Spirit of Christ which guides us to love our neighbor as ourself. Love you! Thank you for the discussion.

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    Yeah some people call it the most embarrassing line in scripture. I believe it did take place shorty. Well who do I trust? Jesus, or you yourself? Should I place my faith in Joseph Smith? or ScottA? I believe by faith. Does that personally bother you? I believe faithfully that in that...

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    @ScottA, you didn't even wanna answer my question about "where do you get your proclaimed authority." That doesn't bother me. And your concern for me, doesn't bother me. I'm already where I am and fine with it. It seems that Yahavah doesn't condemn me, or make me by the spirit change my mind...

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    What did Jesus say to his Disciples in that day in age? "If a person doesn't listen to your message, kick the dust off your feet." Okay, what difference does it make?
  12. MatthewG

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    If you believe Jesus unfilled something, to me that would make him a failure. Jesus wouldn't fail. I don't accept him as a failure, but a fulfiller. His promises never failed those people whom were the Church Bride. Being a person whom seems contradicting is nothing new to me.

    Where did Christian Universalism come from? - New or old?

    @The Learner, it's too much for me to understand. Of course! Here's a condensed version of the passage that keeps the heart of its argument intact: Summary: The Gospel verse “that seeing they may see, and not perceive…” raises a difficult theological question: if Jesus intentionally spoke...

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    There been many many many predictions. Still no Jesus showing up. People dying on their death bed, going on home.
  15. MatthewG

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    My own mother has no problem with the way I believe, @ScottA. It is mainly mainline people who say "He is coming soon!" Well it's been 2000 years now.
  16. MatthewG

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    Faith. Man, faith. He came, he was seen, he took the bride. All on faith. I don't have to witness a great event that would never be great again just as Jesus proclaimed it would be.

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    Then do not.. We can end the discussion of you like.
  18. MatthewG

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    I can't say "I believe @ScottA." That is me believing in some person, not the Lord himself, or those whom actually had Authority (the Apostles themselves.) Cause I only believe and trust what God has stated, and the Lord Yeshua himself, and the Apostles.
  19. MatthewG

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    Well it comes down to do I believe what Jesus said or not, and his Apostles. Otherwise if their predictions didn't come true, they are just liars. That is how I justify "I believe."

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    So you believe you have authority? Where did you get this authority if that is the case? Is it from God himself? I don't believe that you do personally, and I do not mean to offend but I would be very weary of you. Cause I tell people don't believe me, they shouldn't even trust me. They...
