3-23. CALVARY AND PENTECOST "But now that you have been set free from the tyranny of Sin, and have become the bondservants of God, you have your reward in being made holy" (Romans 6:22, Wey.). When the believer truly sees Calvary he says, "There, through the work of the Cross, I died with the...

My beloved friend in Christ, the passage is suppose to read that Jesus is equal with God, not the opposite. But how this is interpreted doesn't affect the Salvation Doctrine.

Insight, this at present is the best I can do from John Gil: "Thought it not robbery to be equal with God", the Father; for if he was in the same form, nature, and essence, he must be equal to him, as he is; for he has the same perfections, as eternity, omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence...

Thanks Insight for your complement! I also find Phil 2:6 interesting in that most of the bible translations misinterpret this passage by interpolating. Check 2 Sam 21:19 and see if it reads that "Elhanan killed Goliath" because it should read that he killed "the brother of Goliath" as all...

Hi Insight! Doesn't that passage read like this, "Who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God," Phl 2:6. What version did you use? The Word (Son) of God became a person--"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as...

Our rest is from something in order to rest in something. The concept is to rest or cease (as God causes us to) from the works we think can add to the labors of which Christ has already performed for our sin atonement and our justification, which prepares us to rest or confide only in the...

The Word of God (Jesus the Son of God) came from Heaven and became (incarnate) a person. I believe Jesus is equal with His Father (John 5:18; Phil 2:6) and showed us who He was by representing His Father (Heb 1:3; Col 2:9). His Father, our Father. His God and our God (John 20:17). Christ...

I made a mistake and meant to write that Adam was created, not begotten, by the Son (Word). As for the Trinity I see Scripture emphasize that Jesus is the Son of God, the Holy Ghost as the Spirit of God. Son of God, Spirit of God but not Father of God because the Father is God. To Your...

Greetings Insight and God bless! I'm not sure I understand what you mean by Christ being created. His incarnation to this life in bodily form wasn't His first existence, but not sure that's what you're addressing. Christ couldn't have been created because He has existed from eternity past. He...

"The end of Christ's incarnation, death and resurrection was to prepare and form an holy nature and frame for us in Himself, to be communicated to us by union and fellowship with Him; and not to be able to produce in ourselves the first originals of such an holy nature by our own endeavors."...

Do we do God's work by using His Spirit or does God's Spirit do His work by using us? The primary issue in this question is who's doing the work because that's where the credit is solely attributed. Us not desiring the credit can lead us to the answer that God does the work, using us, like the...
