In order to distinguish life before Jesus came to earth....and after. Jesus changed history forever...by adding in a new realm, a new life. An alternate reality called "the truth." (Of course that reality IS the truth) So we live in a shadow world where our brains are trying to figure things...

Backwards. You are not reading mine...and then projecting your own distractions unto me. So you are smokescreening so that you don't have to see the difference of Jesus Christ coming to earth. try actually responding to what I'm saying the Holy Spirit is doing. Did Jesus come to just tell us...

The mind of Christ is only attainable when we let our own way of thinking go. So what seems foolish to the carnal mind....the truth...makes perfect sense in the mind that has been freed from the limitations of the human intellect. The truth passes to us through faith. Dispensationalism...let...

John 17:21 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. The Western churches deny this apostolic doctrine. The eastern churches call this oneness with God...theosis. Oneness. The...

That's just it. There is no getting the human intellect involved. So you will never figure it out or formulate anything remotely close to an understanding of oneness with God. Of course people here will try to fudge the issue with their religious notions of this...saying how devoted they...

Again you revert to carnal strength....and without knowing it. Your viewpoint is summed up in the hyper-dispensational heresy. You deny the spiritual life and power to be One with God and walk without sin. You deny that God can do the impossible in us when we show Him we trust fully in Him...

I don't think the common believer has any idea what that love entails. People nowadays don't believe ANYTHING they haven't already experienced. And very few will know anything beyond what carnal men experience. Not everyone is meant to be the Bride of Christ. In our time of decadence I would...

By selling all and following Christ. Actually forsaking this world and putting God and His kingdom first in all things. Jesus shows us the way to salvation....loving others as yourself. He tells the rich young ruler (who asked how to be saved) to obey the last 6 commandments (righteousness...

And yet all that people come away with is that they are now saved? saved to what?

That is the test of faith. With God all things are possible. We can do all things through Christ who gives us His grace. So God indeed asks us to do the impossible...but only what is impossible for men to do with their own strength without grace. So your reasoning ignores grace. You are still...

I can't engage you in matters concerning the New testament as I believe you have not entered into that kind of life and understanding. You are stuck in the OT and what the flesh can do...and how God deals with mankind OUTSIDE of Christ. The fact that you only see Gentiles entering in by the...

The bible never says that ..."without holiness none shall live." It's about seeing God or not. The minimum criteria for salvation is righteousness not holiness. And this is a righteousness that speaks of an honesty and transparency as well as a fear of the Lord. Very few will be qualified to...

That's not what "All Israel" means. Not all are Israel who are of Israel (according to the flesh). The Christian Gentiles coming into the commonwealth of Israel is the completion of Israel.....God's Israel...(not man's political entity) to fill in what is lacking by appealing to every tribe...

A gospel of salvation is a focus on mankind. But a gospel of the kingdom of God.... is God oriented. So which of these did Jesus preach? What about Paul?

There are those who say "if the good news is not for everyone, then it isn't good news". But this is according to the will of carnal men....who just won't hear anything that doesn't edify the flesh. But we know that the good news is for those who have faith. They may be poor, persecuted and...

It should be remembered that the difference between a good report of the promised land and an evil report of it was based on either having faith in God to do what seems impossible...or not. Had the good spies actually conquered the land yet? no. Had the bad spies been defeated yet? no. But...

Jesus Christ is both the cornerstone AND a stumbling-block. The land is BOTH flowing with milk and honey where WE eat of it's goodness AND a place that eats US up. It's both a place of victory AND defeat. Hence the opposing testimonies to the land. The test of the mystery of faith is that it is...

Many today believe that God loves Gentiles more than the original people of God the Jews. These think that God makes things easier for us than He did for them. That somehow we are more lovely or desirable to God than they were. That somehow we are better or wiser than they who missed the mark in...

What part does the Spirit play in all this? What part are we to play? The people in the wilderness were LED by the Spirit even while they had not yet entered into the land. A cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night guided the people so that they followed after these when they moved on from...

The wilderness church. Now we are called not only to come out of the world but also to come into the promised rest of God. We are called out in order to strive to enter in. We are saved away from death in order to enter the race for life. Hardly anyone is allowed to see the promised land...
