But YOU said it should say TESTAMENT. The translations say COVENANT. YOU said Jesus did NOT use the word Covenant. HE MOST CERTAINLY DID. "This is the blood of the New and Everlasting Covenant".

Yes. God will bring our salvation to completion. IF we allow Him to. Paul said this...and he also said that we are to work out our salvation with much respect for God. (fear and trembling). So unless there's a contradiction in the NT,,,we have to resolve this "apparent" contradiction. Paul...

Action IS works. Jesus told us that we must ACT on His words. The wise man and the foolish man: Matthew 7:26-27 the foolish man 26 "Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 "The rain fell, and the floods...

Of course you have a good point here. IF good works were automatic,,,,would there even be any sin?? They are indeed a choice, which is why Paul warned against sinning in all his letters. Here is one: Galatians 6:9 9 Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do...

It's a good start. Let's be happy about it.

Great condensation of the entire story of the bible! :thumbsupx1

PinSeeker, I agree with you 100%. (sooner or later, two must agree on something). I just would like to make the following comment: It is as you say above. Except for the very last PP where you state: THEN WE WILL ULTIMATELY HAVE THE LATTER.... I've heard some say, here on these forums, that...

I hear there's a surge in the search for God,,,, or, at least, interest in God. Seems like the New Atheists bunch caused a whole generation to become skeptical of the existance of God BUT they forgot to replace Him with something....so we have a generation with no basis for moral values and...

Great Post Wynona! :woohoo!:

For the umpteenth time Doug... Your understanding of THE KINGDOM is not a complete understanding. Jesus came to set up His Kingdom HERE AND NOW. YOU are also a part of it. The Parable of the Wedding Banquet says it all.

If a prophet is true... what he prophecies is also true.

Amen to that! Aside from the fact that GOD DOES NOT CHANGE! He is the same yesterday, today, tomorrow and always. For God there is no dispensation... He has done what He said He would do throughout the entire bible.

Most of the NT cannot be understood unless it is explained by someone wtih knowledge. (this is different than knowing God).

There is a Kingdom right here right now...spiritual in nature and to which all that are in the Body of Christ belong. There is another Kingdom that will reign with Jesus as head at the end of the world... This is also known as the New Jerusalem. There is no other Kingdom other than these two.

Not much more to say Doug. Let me make this absolutely clear for you and those reading along... ANY teaching that has come about in the past 200 years, or even a couple of hundred added,,, cannot be orthodox Christian teaching. ALL of what we need to know about the New Testament was...

@Doug For Your Info: Matthew 26:28 New International Version This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. New Living Translation for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to...

Old Covenant for the Old Testament. New Covenant for the New Testament. Same meaning....they are correlated. I'll add that in other languages COVENANT is used.

The cross is in Isaiah. 700 years before Christ. Jesus DID say He would die for 3 days and the be resurrected. John 2:19 19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." But, of course, Jesus was teaching only for now,,,the cross would come later...

What! Jesus said to teach and baptize all nations. So according to you we can TEACH all nations,,, but we cannot BAPTIZE all nations? When the NT clearly teaches baptism for the remission of sins. The more I hear of this Doug,,, the worse it gets.

Are we even aware of this? Millions of jobs will be lost. Those looking ahead to the future are talking about a universal income because the jobs lost will not be regained in other fields. Unless something we can't imagine right now is discovered or developed. But I doubt it.
