You are looking dimly at the smaller picture. A son becomes a father when he has children of his own. In the case of Christ, He is the father of those born of the spirit of God whom He has sent. But, no, even lowly men can be a son, a father, and a person of title able to command without being...

What people expect...is not when or how Jesus returns: Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Matthew 24:44 This one truth alone would (SHOULD) change everything you may have believed.

Have you not read: Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

No...the water has no more power than idols. The washing necessary is by the Spirit alone.

What about them? Faith is the act of receiving what is given by God. Baptism is a vision given by those who have received from God, to those who have not.

You and your fathers have made more of things than you were given.

This is the result of God having confused all language at Babel--which has not been rescinded, except by the Spirit, unto "all truth." The answer and explanation then...is available, and I, by that same Spirit, can explain. Jesus has given many glimpses into all truth in parable, and I will do...

What is your point? It is not any of these translators or Sharp who cause one to understand in his own language--those languages that God himself has caused to be confused--it is only by the Spirit. Why do you make issue of confusion?

It is good that you have a heart for obedience and for doing good works--it is to be so. But that is not the means of salvation, that is rather the means by which His servants should expect to carry the water of salvation--which they themselves have no ability to bear, but rather it is He who...

My answer was due to the obvious lack on the part of many, to on the most basic level of their own given language, to understand what the words even mean. Which is to say, that although I agree that we should all be advanced in our learning by this time, they (many) are far from ready for...

Yes, that is the problem with putting the emphasis on the timing and imposing a worldly timeline on matters of God.

Yes, of course...if "saved" is not forever...it's not salvation. Don't people have dictionaries?

This is not the kingdom of God, not Heaven, but rather that which must come first. This is the last will and testimony of all mankind--then comes the Judgement. God has poured out His spirit upon "all" flesh, both on the good and on the evil--on purpose. This is the power of God to raise those...

The work is done. Only believe. If you believe, go then from the stocking to the tree. Do nothing, but see what gifts the Lord has for you.

You have only heard what you want to hear. Jesus also said, "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one."

Your fruit betrays you. The Spirit is big and scary to you, because fear is based on the unknown.

You prove nothing. Jesus said the same of the poor and the needy. And those to whom He told this--just as you do not understand, they did not understand either.

That is your contradiction and your error (the apostles were men--and their traditions are the traditions of men).

Your words have sealed your fate...not as it might have been, but because you prefer it. Matthew 24:51 2 Thessalonians 2:11

Embracing "All Truth." However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. John 16:13 So...Jesus in preparation for leaving his disciples and...
