Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Or Adam became his own adversary, satan, the devil, the carnal man who still had the dominion, but on his own behalf instead of...

Welcome to the forum.

@Hepzibah Mt 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect But I cannot do it! Mr 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. So then ask for His help: Ask, and it shall be...

I do not understand what you are trying to say here. Please explain.

Was it? Or was old man of Adam the devil who tempted the new man? Time itself may be a problem when we try to apply it to God. Is not man the god of this world? Ge 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and...

Have none of us ever argued against the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh or the pride of life within ourselves in order to avoid sinning? Jesus was fighting against these things until he overcame them. Many or even most believers will say it was a being, but must it be?

Joh 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

@TonyChanYT A changing role... or does satan even exist a separate entity we call the devil or Lucifer or the serpent? The following was posted on this forum by me, Amadeus, back in 2018: While I have seen and heard many arguments in favor of the existence of the external entity called by that...

For many years I attended an assembly that had services starting at 4:30 PM on Sundays. That left my Sunday mornings free so I got in the habit of visiting other places on Sunday mornings. Eventually as our pastor and his wife chased people away the home church for me finally closed it doors...

Just read this. I am praying now.

There is only one name, that is Jesus Christ, by which we may be saved: Ac 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

John did not understand as perhaps we also do not understand. God has share many things with me... but certainly not all. John simply did understand that Jesus was greater and why would the greater require such an apparent reversal of roles, the servant versus the Master? Mt 4:11 Then the...

That is what I see. I see a whole lot of types and shadows in scripture [OT and NT] and I see Reality in a measure. Is that last how the Apostle Paul was seeing when he wrote this? 1co 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I...

They most certainly can, but not by our efforts alone. We must choose and strive, but without Him we can do nothing that matters in the eyes of God.

Was it not as Jesus said to fulfill all righteousness? as to why the various "churches" practice it we would have to look each of them. I've done some of what friend @TonyChanYT did visiting many church meetings of assorted churches. I did that until God stopped me. I have never gotten quite...

Yes, is one of the tools we can and do use, but there is more to God than logic alone is able to find. 1co 1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 1co 1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is...

Yes... our bones have been dead as we have been dead until and if we have encountered and received the Life which Jesus brought. The valley of bones in Ezekiel has perhaps often been considered simply the people of natural Israel [descendants of Jacob], but it has long been in my mind also to...

Mt 3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. Mt 3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? Mt 3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all...

@TonyChanYT Water baptism a shadow? If it is, is it needful to repeat the exercise, to rework the shadow rather than moving on toward or into the Reality? What is the Reality? And a vision is needful so that people do not perish. As a person grows [if he does grow] in and toward God it really...
