    Believers need to understand the Truth

    Many of these passages were not written contrary to what is also written saying that "today is the day of salvation." But rather, much of what we read in the New Testament, was written to "the dead in Christ" and also to "the living in Christ." Therefore, unless we now rightly divide the word...

    Believers need to understand the Truth

    Zachery, that may be your interpretation...but it's wrong. Biblically, there is no "process" of salvation as you describe it, but rather, as it is written, "today is the day of salvation." When one passes from death to life, there is no going back. One does not re-enter the womb to be born...

    The Church The Papacy Says You Should Join

    By that definition, you make yourself out to be a liar. As long as you straddle the line between the flesh and the spirit, you can easily explain away the one with the other...as you have. But here you show yourself to be ignorant of John's explanation, and now Paul's, as well as the times...

    JOHN 3:1 ISRAEL MUST BE BORN AGAIN *****

    Name calling is a sign of guilt and failure. You must be proud. As for your confusion lesson, it is you who is confused: Relativity in quoting scripture is not determined by the hearer. Example: Psalms 22 "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, And from...

    The Church The Papacy Says You Should Join

    No...you have exceeded any such duty and become abusive and a hindrance of which Christ specifically rebuked. You have been warned. No...you pit 1 John 1:8 against 1 John 3:9 putting God against Himself, in defense of your own half-truth error and lack of understanding of the whole word of...

    Why do you keep posting scripture wrongly as if your bits and pieces were your own private justification? They are not, but rather a judgement against you. You post 1 John 1:8 as if everyone sins, and calling people "liars", as if that were the last and only word...as if you didn't even know...

    As I explained, John was speaking to some who had passed from death to life, but also to most who had not and would not except in death, but would die in their sins. It was right for John to include himself, as even Christ was included. But that is not the order of this present day. In this...

    JOHN 3:1 ISRAEL MUST BE BORN AGAIN *****

    It's either a quote or not a quote. Anyone can check it. You apparently don't know better.

    JOHN 3:1 ISRAEL MUST BE BORN AGAIN *****

    I quoted the scriptures. You call it "wrong." Your loss.

    You are out of context. Or are you now going to take back everything you said quoting John, about more books than could fill the world, in addition to the scriptures? You may judge the scriptures with the scriptures, but you may not judge the Spirit with the scriptures. Test, yes, but judge or...

    The 4 Pivotal Subjects in Scripture

    It is good and helpful to discuss our differences, but I would suggest that those four subjects (or whatever 4) are made up of what Paul referred to as "the elementary principles of Christ." Elementary, meaning only to be dwelt upon for a time before "pressing on." Certainly, after all this...

    It is easy to defend the truth, but I only brought it up because your definition of truth is based in your beliefs. In that context, one who is true in his own eyes, is not necessarily true in the greater context of God. In other words, one could just as easily say that every parent and every...

    May I be Bold For A Moment?

    Unfortunately, even though your heart is in the right place, much of these conflicts are much like God's plan including the crucifixion of Christ: It's ugly, but the truth manifest unto judgement. As much as I believe that however, it is better if we try to do good and to avoid conflict...and...

    Sin is not what you are witnessing, which conclusion can only come from not reconciling all that is written. On the contrary, you witnessing His "strength made perfect in weakness"...is not sin.

    Hahaha...and on it goes: The scripture only crowd against the hypocritical church leaders who claim they have authority after following the flesh instead of the spirit of God. Both are wrong.

    When is a christian NOT a Christian?

    I think the problem is this question gets taken as defining "Who is saved?" rather than the definition of a Christian. As for a biblical definition, Jesus was at first vague in saying "follow Me." Which, loosely, might even include Judas. But then He stated it more specifically, saying "whoever...

    JOHN 3:1 ISRAEL MUST BE BORN AGAIN *****

    Okay...so then you have found a foreshadowing of Jesus' (the Last of the house of Israel) being made perfect the third day just as He said. It is good. Elaborate more if you wish.

    Knowing Jesus 2

    Well...I was trying to nicely draw out of you just what it is that you were rambling on about. I guess I have my answer. As for the flesh and the spirit, there is indeed a connection, but only for a [short] time, as "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit...

    The Sea turns to Blood...

    The sea is the spirit, the waters above and below; and the red is for a sign of the spilled blood of the Son of Man. He comes in the clouds. But do not be dismayed, He comes and has come since that first hour. Look up, redemption comes to every generation, each in his own order.

    JOHN 3:1 ISRAEL MUST BE BORN AGAIN *****

    Why would you think I don't know who Nathanael is, and what does that have to do with Israel being born again or not?
