    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    T The Spirit witnesses to our spirit that we are the children of God. It was not an emotional or mental change of mind, but a spiritual event....a miracle, whereby we receive by His Spirit, the faith that is not of our own. Christ IN us the HOPE of glory. But I do believe in holiness and...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    But brother....that is what has happened with most evangelical believers.....we were apprehended by God and born of the spirit, quickened by the Spirit and seeing God face to face as He was revealed to our hearts. Not just knowing Him by the hearing of the ear and a mental belief, or human...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    As Mr. E. was mentioning.....Day of Atonement is a picture of Jesus.....40 days of awe and scapegoat being sent out into the wilderness corresponding to Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness being tempted of the devil. (It might also be useful to remember how Jesus spoke of a demon spirit when it...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Our posts crossed in cyber space....see what you think of what I posted just above yours. Yes, we need the Lord to show us by His light.

    That's for those under the curse.

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Ok, this is going to get deep. I went back to Lev 15 for this….why there were TWO doves or pigeons to be given in sacrifice to cleanse the person's uncleanness. I pray the Lord to help me express these things clearly, but it has to do with SEPARATING the person or nation from their uncleanness...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Do you think the carnal mind of unbelieving Jews is bound to lead them to the gospel or astray from it? The carnal mind is the devil's own workshop, sadly. And it sows confusion. Which God is not the author of.

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    What a labyrinth the human mind can be.....lost and dizzy down a long dark rabbit hole with so many twists and turns. I'm glad the Lord makes it so simple we have to become as little children to receive it..... we don't have to break a sweat with human effort, and in fact breaking a sweat is...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    It's always very telling when disagreement and simple discussion on a forum from behind a computer screen is equated to persecution on the level of what Jesus and the prophets endured, goodness gracious!

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Then you'll have to explain how believers in the wilderness are a SIN OFFERING AND ATONEMENT for the sins of Israel. I had to go back and read Lev. 16 to refresh my memory on the details of what is written. People will read anything they want into scriptures and split hairs all day long to...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    God gave His son to be an atoning sacrifice for us. Isaiah 53:6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. We have the example of the scapegoat in scripture as well...the priest laying the sins of Israel on...

    Is allowing mass immigration anti-christian?

    yes, but that doesn't mean to have a bad attitude towards all immigrants and never interact with any immigrants because some will likely reject the gospel, just as some of our people do. We already know that only a few out of whole world will find that narrow path that leads to life. But God...

    Is allowing mass immigration anti-christian?

    Misapplication of scripture has tragically been used to justify all kinds of evils.....the Catholic church did it, nominal "Protestants" did it, Hitler did it, the Klu Klux Klan do it, etc, etc. We need to understand what those scrips are talking about. They sure weren't written to nullify...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Another couple of wrong assumption there brother. Wish we could stop bickering and "go on to perfection" sometime!

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    There's no point in discussing this with you further because once again it's evident by your response that you haven't been hearing what I and others have been saying and thus are making wrong assumptions about us. I'm not calling you high minded, just saying you're splicing and dicing...

    Is allowing mass immigration anti-christian?

    The natural man is very territorial. So called multi-culturalism can't work for the same reason communism doesn't work....all the usual reasons of plain old fallen human nature. Greed, lust for power, territoriality etc. But we as believers are not supposed to react in the flesh to outward...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Confusion isn't light. The carnal mind is enmity with God. If we keep relying on that to try to resolve what appears to the natural man to be contradictory it will for sure lead us astray. The bible wasn't written for intellectuals and the intellect, it was written to be received by little...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    That's more horsefeathers, I'm afraid....you're continually misrepresenting some folks here. Whether that is honest misunderstanding, or it is deliberate twisting of what is being said, or you're subconsciously reading into things according to what suits you, I will leave for the Lord to...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    I've been bringing balance brother, except you apparently aren't understanding what I've been saying.. And you continue to make assumptions about me which aren't true. Anyhow, I leave you to the Lord.

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Goodness, what do I have to do with Calvin? I hardly know anything about him at all. I haven't been bringing Calvin or anyone else, but just what the bible says.
