Not so. The wine is grace in the new heart (tender). The old wineskin (hard) is the heart under the law of Moses. Again so much confusion between being obedient to God (frowned upon by many) and following the Mosaic laws contained in Judaism. let not many be teachers...

Everything...all! Listen to the teachings of Jesus concerning His kingdom. Most modern believers know nothing of the kingdom walk...because they are still on the carnal level....doing their level best...always learning but never coming to the fulness of the truth. Why do people hide behind...

You are not seeing that righteousness is on 2 separate levels. Why do we need to repent before we are justified? Because repentance is necessary for righteousness. This is not God's righteousness..it is our own. Unless OUR righteousness is greater than the hypocrites....we cannot enter into the...

Yes. God's righteousness is built upon man's righteousness. God will never build on unrighteousness. Human righteousness is like a ground floor, and God's righteousness is like the second floor...or "upper room" built upon it. So then holiness is built upon righteousness. Without this...

The Hebrew bible indeed has the Song of Solomon...the Shir Hashirim. The order of the books is different...There is the Torah...the Nevi'im (prophets) and the Ketouvim (writings). The Song of Songs (as it is referred to in the Tanach) is in the latter part...the writings.

We carry our own cross (if we are to follow Christ) until we reach the place of crucifixion...then the cross of Christ carries us as dead to this world. Believers in Christ should not be speaking about salvation so much...but rather glory and pleasing God. We should move beyond the first steps...

I also have 40 + years of study...AND experience in the Kingdom walk. No one remains in the Spirit unless they already have the full stature of Christ...and the maturity to maintain a life that only depends on God for every breath. I have walked for various times in the Spirit...twice actually...

Reading skills mainly...when the bible says ...the rest of the dead lived not again till AFTER the 1,000 years were finished.. (REv. 20:5)..and then says that the dead are judged according to the book of life....that is another judgment. Simple math skills make that two resurrections. Whoever...

Oh my, LOL :) <><

A Millenium means 1,000 years. Rev. 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat...

Judgment comes first to the house of God...the saints and the filthy....honour and dishonour. The Bible (not you) then says a thousand years pass by with Jesus and the saints ruling over the earth. The devil and his demons are locked up during that time..as the Bible says. Then comes the...

Actually the GWT judgment comes AFTER the Millenium. At that time the nations will be judged according to their works. Those who were righteous...who worked righteousness among the nations...will be greeted by the Lord to inhabit the nations in the eternal kingdom of God. This is NOT a judgment...

I should point out that you are only quoting John here. John's message should not be understood as what is possible for the human intellect to conjure up. His writings a very spiritual in nature. John quotes Jesus as saying "believe "into" (eis)". That is not a human kind of belief. It is the...

Will pray for Linda! <><

This is anti spiritual drivel that is really anti-Christ...because God IS Spirit and reveals Himself to His saints by visitation of the Spirit. To be in Christ is to be filled with the Spirit so as to walk as Jesus walked. This is about power...the power of the life to come. This level of walk...

Armchair philosophy aside, this is a total misunderstanding of the gospel. The law that we are free from is the law of Moses...JUDAISM. A Christian does NOT need to convert to Judaism to follow Christ. THAT was the big issue back in the day, and it is no longer so. But the enemy uses an archaic...

Quite the opposite. The bible is out of reach of human understanding. If the bible was concocted by men then there would be an easy to follow logic...much like the modern gospel that is an invention of men. So the truth is safe. No one can tamper with it. All of your concerns are...

The bible speaks of virtue (arete) as manly courage. The Greeks of the 1st century would have known what Peter (2 Peter 1) and Paul meant by having virtue. There were many statues dedicated to arete. The 300 Spartans who made a stand at Thermopylae were exemplars of this martial courage. In...

Naw...even a cup of cold water given to a disciple has value to God. Whoever is not against us is for us. Inasmuch as the righteous help the least of the brethren...they do it to the Lord.

There is no "correct" version of the translation into English or any other translation. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. The important thing is to live in the same Spirit as the writers of the bible did. When that happens the biblical account will be something familiar since it...
