Agreed on Romans 9 to 11 although it does also mention Gentiles. Romans 11:13 PAUL STATES HE IS SPEAKING TO THE GENTILES Romans 11:17 THE GENTILES WERE GRAFTED IN 17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with...

If Jesus said the kingdom was AT HAND... it means just that. Please find me a verse where Jesus, or one of the Apostles, states that the Kingdom is postponed. There is the Kingdom of God --- which is within us and dwells among us. There is the Kindom of heaven --- which is after we die and...

Slight difference Doug! Can YOU forgive sins? Can YOU remove demons? Jesus gave these commands TO THE APOSTLES..... But all of Jesus words are for ALL who will believe in Him. Ditto for Paul's words. Jesus said the Kingdom is WITHIN us and AMONG us... it is not in some distant future. Could...

Didn't mean to offend. Just concerned with the time it'll take. Will begin tomorrow morning.

Yes...some understand it to be I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE. It is God being what He is. God is what He is. He is. Some terms are difficult to translate because they're not in our daily parlance. What is important, IMO, is that God referred to Himself as this I AM... and Jesus referred to HIMSELF...

BTW,,,I don't use lexicons. I believe I stated that I posted GEMINI. I learn from church theologians... more than one denomination.

Wrangler...you know full well that if we do not agree on the meaning of a term... it will be impossible to debate it. Others on this thread do understand the meaning of CARNAL CHRISTIAN. If you don't agree to it -which is your right - I'm afraid the discussion ends here. (plus you're bringing...

I agree that Jesus is making a statement about His preexistence. Not only a PRE-EXISTENCE but an ETERNAL existence. Well, the Pharisees did believe that Jesus stated that He was God. Jesus' divinity is not limited to John 8:58. Yeshua IS Yahweh. The Alpha and the Omega. I really dislike...

@GRACE ambassador You're bringing up two points: 1. You ask if it's possible to obey all commands. You actually put it in the negative and said it's IMPOSSIBLE to obey all commands. Then we must ask: 1. Are we a child of God. or 2. Are we sinners? John said: 1 John 3:1a 1 See how...

Having trouble replying. See the very next post of mine.

Yes sir. There are plenty of veses to support the idea that a carnal christian is not a Christian. Some are of the idea that we are all carnal Christians at the time of becoming born again. I'd say that they're conflating sinning with being carnal. It's the sinning that will wane and become...

Here is some information for you: I'm a rather cute girl....not a guy. I don't get intoxicated - no one in my family does. I do not advocate for intoxication - of any type. You could continue to misrepresent me on my views on drinking wine or alcohol and/or whether or not what is mentioned in...

I agree. I've stated that a carnal Christian is a contradiction in terms. Your verse Romans 8:6 6 For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, Correct....carnal means of the flesh. I also posted verses stating that we are to walk in the spirit and...

Hi Rightglory, I enjoy reading your posts,,,they're very complete and, I do believe, correct in their theology. But the above is confusing re the Satisfaction Theory of Atonement. I believe all the theories I know of (I think 7) are biblically based in some way or another. Each one has some...

Agreed. It has been tried in the US. I'm not going to look up statistics but it does not seem to work and may actually cause more harm making nominal criminals into more hardened criminals due to exposure to hardened criminals and the necessity for self-protection. Agreed.

Interesting point! Right. So the prison will make a murderer stop murdering...and this is great for society's protection. But in his heart, he is STILL a murderer and STILL a sinner. You state this in your second sentence. I think we agree.

Reggie, I think we have a language problem here. If you rule over something it's the same as mastering it. It means you have control over it. Let's look at the verses again: Genesis 4:7 7 "If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at...

I agree. And that's because we CANNOT, we are UNABLE to make anyone stop sinning. Nor can we force anyone to accept the Lord's salvation for that matter. Agreed. I agree on all you've posted.

Hi Grace ambassador.... I'm sure your question means more than it appears to. But my reply is: We should follow ALL of Jesus' commands. Except those specifically for the Apostels: FORGIVE SINS EXORCISE DEMONS HEAL THE SICK (different from praying for the sick). Can't think of anything else...

Ronald, saw this when I posted my reply. I just want to say that we all have DIFFERENT problems and must take a member at this word. If Doug feels he is unable to leave the house,,, then that's what we know. No reason for him to explain WHY to anyone on this Forum. I also do not attend...
