    What Is The Purpose Of Taking Communion ?

    . I'm aware of at least three passages in the New Testament that solidly, clearly, and without ambiguity, affirm that Christ committed no sins of his own (2Cor 5:21, Heb 4:15, 1Pet 2:22). But I know of not even one passage solidly, clearly, and without ambiguity affirming the same for his mom...

    Gen 22:9b-11

    †. Gen 22:9b . . Abraham built an altar there; he laid out the wood; This was a place where, apparently, Abraham had never worshipped before because he had to build an altar. Did the lad perhaps begin to feel dread and fear at this point just like Jesus felt on the night he was arrested? †...

    What Is The Purpose Of Taking Communion ?

    . I think the author of Hebrews assumed we'd all understand his statement to mean Jesus was without his own sin. In other words: the forbidden fruit sin was Adam's-- not ours and certainly not the Lord's. A fair question somebody might ask-- and usually does ask --is how can a mortal man...

    What Is The Purpose Of Taking Communion ?

    . According to 1John 3:9, people born of God are incapable of sin. However, the Bible's Jesus wasn't born only of God, but also of man. It is believed by many that the seed promised Eve at Gen 3:15 is Christ; and where did Eve come from? Well; she wasn't manufactured from dust as was Adam...

    What Is The Purpose Of Taking Communion ?

    . †. 1Cor 11:27 . . Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. What's he talking about there? Homicide? I seriously doubt it. Christ rose from the dead immortal so he can't be killed anymore. †...

    Gen 22:6b-9a

    †. Gen 22:6b-7 . . He himself took the firestone and the knife; and the two walked off together. Then Isaac said to his father Abraham: Father! And he answered: Yes, my son. And he said: Here are the firestone and the wood; but where is the sheep for the burnt offering? Oops! That's kind of...

    What Is The Purpose Of Taking Communion ?

    . †. John 6:53 . . Jesus said to them: I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. The kind of life that one may obtain by means of correctly dining upon the Lord's flesh, and correctly imbibing his blood; is eternal life. †...

    Sinless Perfection?

    . The new heart is new; from scratch-- not the old heart repaired, upgraded, renovated, or rejuvenated. You honestly cannot see two distinct natures in the statements below-- a nature that's 110% sinful alongside a nature that's 110% sinless? †. 1John 1:8-10 . . If we say that we have no...

    Sinless Perfection?

    . It's far more likely that Luke 11:23 contradicts your understanding of my previous posts rather than the posts themselves; and no surprise there as the two natures of a born-again Christian is one of the supernatural aspects of Christianity not all that easily digested by your average rank...

    Gen 22:2d-6a

    †. Gen 22:2d . . on one of the heights that I will point out to you. Precisely where the land of Moriah was, and the specific height God chose, is impossible to tell for sure. Abraham knew where the land was but he wouldn't know the exact spot until he got there. It's just as well to keep it a...

    Sinless Perfection?

    . Christ has no friendly enemies that I'm aware of. You're either with him or against him: no middle ground. †. Luke 11:23 . . He who is not with me is against me; and he who does not gather with me; scatters. Cliff /

    Sinless Perfection?

    . Yes: Adam man and Christ man; but the Adam man is more like an enemy than an alien. †. Rom 8:7-8 . .The carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. I don't know about the...

    Sinless Perfection?

    . In post #20, I stated that I sincerely believe that the two statements below, though they contradict each other, are both true. †. 1John 1:8-10 . . If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His...

    Sinless Perfection?

    . I have declared my born-again self sinless twice on this thread: once in post #20 and again in post #39. Here now, for your convenience, is a third. †. 1John 3:9 . .Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God...

    Parenthesis

    . Rabbis are quite divided as to the true meaning of Gen 22:2. Some feel Abraham was supposed to kill Isaac, and some feel he wasn't. There are some who feel that the angel stopped Abraham at this point because he was making a big mistake-- that Abraham misunderstood the instructions God gave to...

    Gen 22:1-2c

    †. Gen 22:1a . . Some time afterward, God put Abraham to the test. This particular section of Scripture deals with an ancient incident known in sacred Jewish literature as The Akedah (the binding of Isaac). The Akedah portrays the very first human sacrifice ever performed in the Bible by...

    Sinless Perfection?

    . I see sinless perfection as an after-salvation issue; and sincerely believe that the two statements below, though they contradict each other, are both true of born-again Christians. †. 1John 1:8-10 . . If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we...

    Gen 21:22-34

    †. Gen 21:22a . . At that time While Hagar and Ishmael were busy setting up a new life for themselves, a seemingly trivial event occurred in Abraham's life. I don't have any idea why Genesis records this incident. It doesn't seem to mean anything. †. Gen 21:22b . . Abimelech It is very...

    Sinless Perfection?

    . I became a born-again Christian in 1968 as per John 1:12-13 and John 3:3-8. I sincerely believe that the two statements below, though they contradict each other, are both true. †. 1John 1:8-10 . .

    Gen 21:17-21

    †. Gen 21:17a . . God heard the cry of the boy, I don't think Ishmael, at near eighteen, was bawling his eyes out like a little girl. Rather; his "cry" was a plea for help. Exactly what he said is unknown. But God heard him and responded. I strongly suspect that in those seventeen or so years...
