    BAPTISM SAVES, FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS"

    Don't get me wrong, I am not saying anything of my own, only what Paul said. But since you are not factoring in all of what he said, I am...which does not end with a meal of flesh and blood, but with the knowledge of all truth, which things are spiritual.

    THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PETER AND PAUL ON THE RESURRECTION

    Nonetheless, that "coming down from God" does not mean that it comes to stay, but rather that "where He is, there we might be also." Here is not "there."

    BAPTISM SAVES, FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS"

    I do see what you mean. But you are mixing the children's first introduction with what should be understood by the mature. Just as we tell our own children elementary stories which are not lies, but are caring examples of what is to come later in life, God too has done this with His word and...

    BAPTISM SAVES, FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS"

    What is anything that is used to make a spiritual point? It is the object of a parable about something completely different. The object of a parable is never the subject - that is what makes it a parable. And this we can rightly say is a parable, because Jesus gives the terms, saying "My words...

    BAPTISM SAVES, FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS"

    Because the symbolic message needed to be presented by the church to all generations. Which they should have done for each generation, but then interpreted and "pressed on", "leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the...

    It is given once for [all] men to die. This is the curse, the judgement of God. Among the elect, those under the law die in their sin. These are the dead in Christ. But those not under the law are not guilty of the law, and therefore if they believe in Christ by the witness as told by the dead...

    BAPTISM SAVES, FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS"

    Harsh indeed. The flesh dies, and flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.

    Hahaha. No...I don't trust you. Nor, since you do not receive the word in spirit, will I trouble you any further.

    You do not know me, nor do you know who it is who speaks to you.

    THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PETER AND PAUL ON THE RESURRECTION

    That is all true, but it is not a "coming earthly kingdom." It is the kingdom of heaven.

    Blinded.

    Israel carried the burden of sacrifice for all other nations - that "all the nations of the world should be blessed through them." But "over" refers to that which is gained of the spirit of God, which Christ attained, but not before Israel fell into slumber - which in the world, is death, but in...

    Only One is right.

    BAPTISM SAVES, FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS"

    And that would be your "SRED of sense", meaning, your own understanding - which has a spiritual hole in it and does not stand up to the whole word of God. Nonetheless, for those who have ears to hear what the Spirit says: When many left following Jesus, it was because they could not hear what...

    I can speak for me and the Holy Spirit...so, to answer your question: "Other men" must be confused.

    BAPTISM SAVES, FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS"

    As I told you...I got my information from the Holy Spirit. Which 100% accurate compared with the fallible apostles and church leaders: Jesus Himself called Peter Satan, and was somewhat against 5 out of the 7 churches of Revelation. And having to repeat myself to you, makes me question your...

    BAPTISM SAVES, FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS"

    Jesus taught all these things, and yet you would have me run from the Holy Spirit who taught me. But it is the religious doctrine that you seem to prefer that I would run from.

    BAPTISM SAVES, FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS"

    No...He was correct to say, "The flesh profits nothing", and you error to say that it does. This you do for not understanding the matter was completely spiritual. It was not His flesh that profited, but His spirit. And now you yourself advocate cannibalism, thinking you are spiritual. Which I...

    BAPTISM SAVES, FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS"

    It is not a matter of faith, but of hearing and understanding when He said, "My words are spirit", and "The flesh profits nothing"...and then having the ability to reconcile it all with the whole word of God. What is astonishing, is how learned people can hear His explanation and still not...

    BAPTISM SAVES, FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS"

    The foolishness that He was referring to was not to hear and understand when He said, "My words are spirit", and then turn and think He meant His actual body and blood, after He also said, "The flesh profits nothing." Foolish is the flesh.

    Jesus was literal in a worldly sense, but just as He said, "My words are spirit."
